20	40	On the roof, as we lay there, we could hear, now and then, someone run along the footbridge.	10
20	42	From time to time a tarn would descend or take flight from the roof of the keep.	10
20	54	Then to my dismay I saw two more crossbowmen, this time on a nearby roof.	10

20	83	"Let us proceed," I said, "lest the tarns be flown from the roof and we be isolated in the tower".	10
20	86	"That is all well and good," responded Harold, "but can you not impart certain important information relating to the matter in a briefer span?" "Come to the roof!" I cried.	10

20	107	The fellow came running across the roof.	10
20	126	There were two of the great birds left on the roof, both fine specimens, huge, vicious, alert.	10
20	127	Harold dropped Hereena to the floor of the roof and strode to the first tarn.	10
20	130	Any instant I expected it to pick Harold from the roof with its beak, bite him in two and eat the pieces.	10
21	84	By that time I had rounded a corner and leaped to a window, pulled myself up to the next window, and hauled myself up again and onto the flat roof of a shop.	10
21	89	The sun on the flat roof was hot.	10
21	91	Then I decided I had better move across the roofs in the opposite direction, find a sheltered roof, stay there until nightfall and then perhaps try to leave the city.	10

21	356	Then in the clearing inside the gate, on his kaiila, lance in his right fist, turning and barking orders, I saw Kamchak of the Tuchuks, waving men to the left and right, and to the roof tops.	10

23	2	On one of these wagons, with the top removed, were the two tarns Harold and I had stolen from the roof of Saphrar's keep.	10

26	2	Kamchak, Harold and I stood with several others on the roof of a building across from the compound.	10
26	4	Kamchak stood in the half darkness, his palms on the wall running about the edge of the roof of the building on which we stood.	10
26	15	I saw Kamchak leaning forward, his palms on the wall about the roof, staring at the compound.	10
26	42	"There is a tarn!" cried one of the men on the roof.	10
26	71	He lifted his hand and one who stood near him climbed to the wall about the roof and blew a long blast on a bosk horn.	10
26	93	Kamchak then descended from the roof and mounted his kaiila.	10
