The next girl, dark-haired, lovely, wore black, feminine slacks; these were apparently of some synthetic Earth material; the left leg of the slacks was torn from the knee downward; she also wore what had probably been a soft, red, turtle-necked pull-over; it, too, was rather feminine; perhaps that i... |
10 |
| 3 | 523 |
I looked at the girls on the platform. |
10 |
| 3 | 653 |
I glanced back once at the four girls, kneeling closely together, chained, on the platform. |
10 |
| 3 | 663 |
The first carried a knife, the second, over his arm, carried some brief, white, platform tunics. |
10 |
| 3 | 731 |
When I had last seen them two slaver's men had been approaching them, one with a knife and the other with some brief, white, platform tunics. |
10 |
| 3 | 739 |
Some, on the other hand, are attired, usually briefly and in platform tunics, which may be opened. |
10 |
| 3 | 753 |
No longer did they now wear their distracting, meaningless Earth raiment, but Gorean platform tunics. |
10 |
| 3 | 787 |
She had lovely legs, marvelously revealed by the brevity of the platform tunic. |
10 |
| 3 | 795 |
Certainly the platform tunic in its lightness, femininity, and brevity, in its revelation of her lineaments, was considerably different from her former, clumsy pseudomale garments. |
10 |
| 3 | 828 |
"Masters!" called a girl, in Gorean, some yards down the platform, accosting the two men who were passing. |
10 |
| 3 | 829 |
She knelt on one knee, and flexed and extended her other leg, beautifully, touching the boards of the platform with her toes. |
10 |
| 3 | 837 |
She stood before them, beautifully, almost nude in the platform tunic. |
10 |
| 3 | 841 |
The blond girl gasped and shrank back when the slaver's man, joining the girl on the platform, jerked loose the cord at her right hip and, with two hands, standing behind the girl, held back the tunic, well displaying her to the gaze of the inquirers. |
10 |
| 3 | 844 |
One of the men had joined the slaver's man and the girl on the platform. |
10 |
| 3 | 846 |
Then she writhed on the platform, obedient to the touch of the masters. |
10 |
| 3 | 853 |
She was put in a collar and leash and led from the platform. |
10 |
| 3 | 905 |
The dark-haired girl in the brief platform tunic, who had worn the red pull-over, knelt back. |
10 |
| 3 | 915 |
Of the four Earth beauties chained on the platform a few feet away I found the dark-haired girl, who had worn the soft, red pull-over, of greatest interest—of greatest slave interest, of course. |
10 |
| 3 | 935 |
The blonde shrank back as his eyes examined her in the collar, chains, and platform tunic. |
10 |
| 3 | 965 |
They were beautiful in the brief platform tunics. |
10 |
| 3 | 978 |
He stepped upon the platform, and crouched upon its surface. |
10 |
| 3 | 991 |
Another slaver's man joined his colleague at the platform. |
10 |
| 3 | 1020 |
Frightened, they, on their knees, crept forward to the edge of the platform. |
10 |
| 3 | 1022 |
Before they had been back about a yard or so on the platform. |
10 |
| 3 | 1033 |
What did it matter that someone had touched, even intimately caressed, a woman who was only a slave? She tried to creep back, but the slaver's man, seeing this, irritably removed his whip from his belt and, with its coils, indicated the place on the platform where her knees must be. |
10 |
| 3 | 1034 |
They were placed in such a way as to be a quarter of an inch over the edge of the platform. |
10 |
| 3 | 1056 |
The slaver then swiftly, easily, by short stairs, descended to the walkway before the platform. |
10 |
| 3 | 1057 |
In this way he abandoned the possible intimidation of the platform's height and assumed a more intimate, casual relationship to the prospective patron. |
10 |
| 3 | 1063 |
The fellow called to the platform scrambled onto it and swiftly knelt the blonde before the slaver's man with the whip and the leather worker. |
10 |
| 3 | 1064 |
The fellow on the platform then jerked loose the knot at the blonde's right hip, which held the wrap-around tunic closed. |
10 |
| 3 | 1074 |
The slaver's man with the whip angrily leaped to the platform. |
10 |
| 3 | 1090 |
He thrust her back on her side on the platform, and left her. |
10 |
| 3 | 1101 |
Tenalion of Ar, the slaver, their master, stood now at the edge of the platform. |
10 |
| 3 | 1104 |
The girls lay on the platform, sobbing. |
10 |
| 3 | 1170 |
The slaver then unlocked the slaves' throat collars and tossed them, with the chain, to the platform. |
10 |
| 3 | 1171 |
The two beauties were drawn by the hunter from the platform and they then stood, frightened, tied together by the neck, before it. |
10 |
| 3 | 1181 |
"Ho," said the red hunter, and strode from the platform. |
10 |
| 3 | 1199 |
Perhaps both the dark-haired girl and the blonde, if they had they been somewhat longer on the platform, might have learned something—might have conquered their inhibitions, and have submitted themselves willingly, gladly, trustingly and hopefully, to the rude, exploratory caresses of buyers,... |
10 |
| 3 | 1202 |
As they came to understand more fully their new status and condition, that they were truly slaves, I did not doubt but what they would muchly regret their naiveties and indiscretions on the platform. |
10 |
| 3 | 1208 |
"I think," I said, indicating the two remaining, young Earth females, as yet unsold, "that these two girls might now be moved back on the platform and have their hands chained before their bodies rather than behind". |
10 |
| 3 | 1210 |
He climbed to the platform and moved the girls back. |
10 |
| 3 | 1213 |
In doing this he had discarded their platform tunics. |
10 |
| 3 | 1214 |
He then rejoined me before the platform. |
10 |
| 3 | 1215 |
They now knelt back on the platform in normal display location, their hands chained before them. |
10 |
| 3 | 1237 |
I smiled to myself and left the area of the platform. |
10 |
| 3 | 1303 |
I stood alone on the platform, and gazed at the snow-capped mountains, glistening under the mingled light of the three white moons. |
10 |
| 3 | 1304 |
From the platform, too, I could see the fair, with its lights and fires, and tents and shelters, and the amphitheater in the distance, where Scormus of Ar and gentle Centius of Cos would meet tomorrow, on the opposite sides of a small board marked with red and yellow squares. |
10 |
| 3 | 1307 |
I descended the stairs of the platform and turned my steps toward the public tent where I had, earlier in the morning, reserved a lodging for myself. |
10 |
| 4 | 39 |
I climbed the stairs to the platform. |
10 |
| 4 | 42 |
I attained the height of the platform and found the view breathtaking, even more splendid than I had hoped. |
10 |
| 4 | 45 |
Near me, on the platform, stood the red hunter. |
10 |
| 4 | 47 |
Then, standing on the platform, he lifted his bare arms to the mountains. |
10 |
| 4 | 59 |
He left the platform. |
10 |
| 4 | 60 |
There were other individuals, too, on the long platform. |
10 |
| 4 | 68 |
He then made his way from the foot of the platform. |
10 |
| 4 | 72 |
I could see it easily from the height of the platform. |
10 |
| 4 | 78 |
I hurried down the stairs of the platform. |

"The wall weakens a pasang east of the platform," said another man's voice. |
10 |
| 9 | 2 |
We stood on a high platform, overlooking the wall. |
10 |
| 9 | 26 |
"Even the jards die, gorged with meat," said the man near us on the platform. |
10 |
| 9 | 35 |
I looked to the other fellow on the platform. |
10 |
| 9 | 47 |
He turned away, to look out over the railing on the platform, and out over the high wall, to the thousands of animals, like cattle, beyond. |
10 |
| 9 | 99 |
"Tell him your name," she ordered the fellow on the platform. |
10 |
| 9 | 102 |
He turned and went down the stairs of the platform. |
10 |
| 9 | 138 |
I accompanied her down the stairs of the platform. |
10 |
| 10 | 171 |
We were marched past the high platform overlooking the wall. |
10 |
| 10 | 172 |
She was on the platform, with two guards. |
10 |
| 10 | 197 |
Near the platform there were piled some logs and heavy stones, carried there by other laborers the preceding afternoon. |
10 |

"Work well, Tarl Cabot," called my lovely captor from the height of the platform. |
10 |

It was some half a pasang from the platform. |
10 |

This weakness was to the left of the platform, looking out toward the tabuk. |
10 |

He turned suddenly and, bolting, fled toward the platform and main buildings. |
10 |
| 11 | 158 |
"Imnak," said I, "go to the platform. |
10 |
| 11 | 161 |
He grunted and went to the platform. |
10 |
| 11 | 277 |
The platform, too, had been pulled down, and had then been burned. |
10 |
| 11 | 279 |
I thrust her before me, toward the whipping platform, which I had ordered remain intact. |
10 |
| 11 | 282 |
"What are you going to do?" I thrust her up the steps, onto the platform. |
10 |
| 11 | 289 |
Only the tips of her toes could touch the platform, and that barely. |
10 |
| 11 | 292 |
I then put her ankles together, and, with a piece of rope, fastened them to the lower ring, that fastened in the floor of the whipping-frame platform. |
10 |
| 11 | 351 |
She screamed, and he spun back, falling from the platform to the turf. |
10 |
| 11 | 388 |
* * * * The moons of Gor were high when I returned to the sturdy platform. |
10 |
| 11 | 412 |
I was weary then, and I had lost blood, from the wound in my leg, so I turned away, descended the steps of the whipping platform, and made my way to the hall, where I would sleep. |
10 |
| 11 | 416 |
The sun was high and bright, and I had fed well, and had rigged a backpack, in which I had placed supplies and my things, when I again climbed the steps to the whipping platform. |
10 |
| 11 | 433 |
She sank to the wood of the platform. |
10 |
| 11 | 437 |
I then descended the steps of the platform. |
10 |
| 11 | 439 |
As I stood before the burning edifice I turned once to look at the platform. |
10 |
| 15 | 324 |
"And then, one day, on a platform in the Sardar, I learned that it was not a simple dream, but that it had been a dream to which there corresponded a fearful reality". |
10 |
| 21 | 16 |
Also, sleeping is usually done on a sleeping platform. |
10 |
| 21 | 18 |

10 |
| 24 | 90 |
He finished his tea and then crawled into furs on the sleeping platform. |
10 |

10 |

He threw her the bit of silk which had been wrapped about the opened slave collar which had been at her feet on the platform. |
10 |
| 30 | 190 |
Proudly she stepped down from the platform and stood before me. |
10 |
| 30 | 194 |
She then turned and went to the foot of the small, round platform, picked up the opened slave collar, with the bit of silk wrapped about it, and returned to the place on the sand before me. |
10 |
| 31 | 31 |
At the center of the room, toward the front, there was a wide, low, circular platform. |
10 |
| 31 | 33 |
I sat down, cross-legged, some twenty feet in front of the platform, and waited. |
10 |

10 |

It then, moving on all fours, lightly, moved forward, around the platform, and went to the sunken basin of water in the room. |
10 |
| 31 | 61 |
It sat there for a moment, and then, lightly, swung from one pole to another, and then returned, dropping lightly, for an animal of its weight, to the floor before the platform. |
10 |

Let the platform of her success be then the slave block, and her payment be found at the end of a whip. |
10 |
