Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
4	14	I seized the short mounting ladder swinging wildly from the saddle and climbed it, seating myself in the saddle, fastening the broad purple belt that would keep me from tumbling to my death.	10
6	51	Even after I had drawn her to the saddle before me and belted her securely to the saddle-ring, I had to force her fingers from the rung of the mounting ladder.	10
10	122	The tharlarion saddle, unlike the tarn saddle, is constructed to absorb shock.	10
14	152	In a moment, given the wild motion of the bird, the entire saddle, to which the tarnsman was fixed by the saddle straps, slid from the bird's back and flew wildly into the depths below.	10
14	171	Then I slapped his leg with affection, climbed to the saddle, dropped the dead tarnsman to the ground, and fastened myself in the saddle straps.	10
3	269	The tarn is one of the two most common mounts of a Gorean warrior; the other is the high tharlarion, a species of saddle-lizard, used mostly by clans who have never mastered tarns.	10
3	271	The Older Tarl had mounted his tarn, climbing up the five-rung leather mounting ladder which hangs on the left side of the saddle and is pulled up in flight.	10
3	272	He fastened himself in the saddle with a broad purple strap.	10
4	15	The tarn is guided by virtue of a throat strap, to which are attached, normally, six leather streamers, or reins, which are fixed in a metal ring on the forward portion of the saddle.	10
4	22	The throat-strap rings, corresponding to the position of the reins on the main saddle-ring, are numbered in a clockwise fashion.	10
4	29	My body lurched wildly, but the saddle belt held.	10
4	30	I couldn't breathe for a minute, but clung, frightened and thrilled, to the saddle-ring, my hand wrapped in the one-strap.	10
4	40	I released the reins, letting them hang on the saddle-ring, which is the signal for a constant and straight flight, no pressure on the throat strap.	10
5	2	My shield and spear were secured by saddle straps; my sword was slung over my shoulder.	10
5	3	On each side of the saddle hung a missile weapon, a crossbow with a quiver of a dozen quarrels, or bolts, on the left, a longbow with a quiver of thirty arrows on the right.	10
5	4	The saddle pack contained the light gear carried by raiding tarnsmen—in particular, rations, a compass, maps, binding fiber, and extra bowstrings.	10
5	5	Bound in the saddle in front of me, drugged, her head completely covered with a slave hood buckled under her chin, was a girl.	10
5	29	The girl on the saddle before me stirred, the effect of the drug wearing off.	10
5	60	The girl, Sana, whom I carried on the saddle before me, would dress in the heavy robes and veils of the Ubar's daughter and return in her place to the interior of the cylinder.	10
5	67	I placed the hood in the saddle pack, admiring her, not only her beauty but even more that she did not seem frightened.	10
5	91	"I did ride once before on the back of a tarn," she said bitterly, "to Ar, bound across the saddle, before I was sold in the Street of Brands".	10
5	154	But an hour before midnight, on the day I knew was the Planting Feast of Sa-Tarna, I climbed again to the saddle of my tarn, drew back on the one-strap, and rose above the lush trees of the swamp forest.	10
5	158	He surely would have struck home had not my tarn veered wildly to the left, almost colliding with another tarn and its rider, who fired a bolt that sank deep in the saddle pack with a sound like slapping leather.	10
5	168	I saw him stiffen suddenly in the saddle and was dimly aware of his tarn streaking away, screaming.	10
5	187	When I neared Ar, I crouched low in the saddle and hoped that the speck against a moon which might be seen by the watchmen of the outlying towers would be taken for a wild tarn, flying high over the city.	10
6	36	I leaped upward and seized the saddle-ring, inadvertently dislodging the mounting ladder.	10
6	37	In an instant I had attained the saddle of the tarn and drew back savagely on the one-strap.	10
6	44	I drew my sword from its sheath, to cut the mounting ladder from the saddle, but stopped, and angrily drove the blade back into its sheath.	10
6	49	I placed the Home Stone in the saddle pack, snapping the lock shut, and then reached down to haul in the mounting ladder.	10
6	52	I folded the ladder and fastened it in its place at the side of the saddle.	10
6	61	Helplessly, she seemed to stammer some incoherent word of gratitude and turned trustfully to me, putting her arms around my waist as though for additional security; I felt her trembling, innocent body against mine, her dependence on me, and then she suddenly locked her arms around my waist and with ...	10
6	62	In the sickening instant of falling I realized I had not fastened my own saddle belt in the wild flight from the roof of the Ubar's cylinder.	10
6	215	She shuddered at the memory, and I pitied her for what must have been a horrifying experience, lashed helpless to the saddle of a giant tarn reeling in a death struggle for the mastery of a flock, high over the trees of the swamp forest.	10
6	224	"In the saddle pack," she said, confirming my expectation.	10
6	225	I had locked the pack when I had placed the Home Stone inside, and the pack is an integral part of the tarn saddle.	10
6	227	So now the tarn was gone, returned to his natural wild state, the Home Stone was in the saddle pack, and I had failed, and the daughter of the Ubar had failed, and we stood facing one another on a green knoll in the swamp forest of Ar.	10
8	40	She raised her head and said quietly, "The Home Stone was in the saddle pack of his tarn.	10
9	145	"Done!" he cried, fastening his lance in its saddle sheath and slipping from the back of the tharlarion.	10
10	123	Primarily, this is done by constructing the tree of the saddle in such a way that the leather seat is mounted on a hydraulic fitting which actually floats in a thick lubricant.	10
10	124	Not only does this lubricant absorb much of the shock involved, but it tends, except under abnormal stress, to keep the seat of the saddle parallel to the ground.	10
11	5	Talena ran to the foot of my tharlarion, and with my lance I hoisted her to the saddle so that she could see.	10
12	119	The saddle and reins of the tarn were no longer on the bird and had undoubtedly rotted off or had been rubbed from his back by scraping against the rock escarpment backing its nest ledge.	10
12	131	I frantically looked about for a weapon, and then, hardly believing my eyes, I saw, woven roughly into the nest sticks, the remains of my harness and saddle.	10
12	132	I seized my spear from the saddle sheath and turned.	10
12	139	I returned to the nest and salvaged what I could of the tarn harness and saddle.	10
12	142	With the spear blade I cut into the locked saddle pack.	10
12	151	I poked through the other contents of the saddle pack, delighted to find my old maps and that device that serves Goreans as both compass and chronometer.	10
12	156	I would use them in repairing the saddle and harness.	10
12	157	I cursed myself for not having carried an extra tarn-goad somewhere in the saddle gear.	10
12	167	In the hours that remained before the tarn returned to his nest, I used the binding fiber and bowstrings to repair, as well as I could, the harness and saddle.	10
12	168	By the time my great mount had settled again on his ledge, I had finished my work, even to restoring the gear in my saddle pack.	10
12	174	I then threw the saddle over the bird's back and crawled under its stomach to fasten the girth straps.	10
12	175	Then I calmly climbed the newly repaired mounting ladder, drew it up, and fastened it to the side of the saddle.	10
13	1	Marlenus, Ubar of Ar I set my course for Ko-ro-ba, carrying in my saddle pack the trophy that was now, at least to me, worthless.	10
13	47	Rather than risk casting my spear from the safe but unsteady saddle of the tarn, I leaped to the ground, just as the larl, furious that it had been discovered, uttered the paralyzing hunting roar and charged.	10
13	111	To my amazement, the hand that clasped mine firmly was as solid and hardened as saddle leather.	10
14	148	In a few wild moments I had gained the saddle straps of the bird and hauled myself nearly to the weapon rings.	10
14	161	In the first streak of the early light I saw a few hundred yards away what I had hoped to find—the saddle and twisted body of the tarnsman.	10
14	162	I released the bird, ran to the saddle, and removed the crossbow which, to my joy, was intact.	10
14	167	The missile left him sagging lifeless in the saddle.	10
14	174	There was even a tarn-goad and saddle gear.	10
15	60	I had carefully determined that the corral into which I dropped did not contain the saddle lizards, the high tharlarions, those ridden by Kazrak and his tharlarion lancers.	10
17	76	A chain of gold was slung to Pa-Kur, who fastened it to the saddle of his tharlarion.	10
17	77	The free end of Pa-Kur's saddle chain was then secured to Talena's shackles.	10
17	111	I climbed the mounting ladder and fastened myself in the saddle, telling the keeper that the coin was his.	10
18	66	I could see the tharlarion on which he rode, the figure of the Assassin, and the slip of a girl, in her white robe, who, beside the animal, walked like a Ubara, though barefoot and chained to its saddle.	10
19	7	I climbed to the saddle of my own sable beast and brought it soaring into the air beyond the cylinder.	10
19	27	Once again alone, sick at heart, I loosened my spear and shield in their saddle straps.	10
19	116	Accordingly, I slid from the saddle of the tarn, unsheathing my weapon.	10
19	185	Behind Kazrak, sharing his saddle, in the leather of a tarnsman, rode the beautiful Sana of Thentis.	10
19	245	"If you did not," I laughed, "I would throw you across my saddle and carry you to Ko-ro-ba by force".	10
19	246	She laughed as I swept her from her feet and lifted her to the saddle of my giant tarn.	10
19	247	In the saddle, her arms were around my neck, her lips on mine.	10
19	250	Then, in accord with the rude bridal customs of Gor, as she furiously but playfully struggled, as she squirmed and protested and pretended to resist, I bound her bodily across the saddle of the tarn.	10
19	251	Her wrists and ankles were secured, and she lay before me, arched over the saddle, helpless, a captive, but of love and her own free will.	10

Book 2. (19 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
12	75	On Gor, the singer, or poet, is regarded as a craftsman who makes strong sayings, much like a pot-maker makes a good pot or a saddle-maker makes a worthy saddle.	10
14	155	What I would have given for a tarn saddle and the broad purple strap that fastens the warrior in the saddle! As soon as it felt my weight, the tarn cried again and with an explosion of its broad wings sprang into the air, climbing in dizzy circles.	10
14	161	These pass from the throat strap to the main saddle ring, which is fixed on the saddle.	10
6	69	When he brings home his captive, bound naked across the saddle of his tarn, he gives her over, rejoicing, to his sisters, to be bathed, perfumed and clothed in the brief slave livery of Gor.	10
12	74	After all, though the Caste of Singers, or Poets, was not a high caste, it had more prestige than, for example, the Caste of Pot-Makers or Saddle-Makers, with which it was sometimes compared.	10
14	163	But I lacked both saddle and harness.	10
14	170	Accordingly the goad had seldom left its sheath on the right side of the saddle.	10
14	186	It makes its kill, devours it, and the flight resumes, the tarnsman never leaving the saddle.	10
15	4	Now, of all times, without a harness and saddle, such training would have been invaluable.	10
15	24	I was one of those men, a tarnsman, who would prefer the saddle of one of those fierce, predatory titans to the throne of a Ubar.	10
15	31	He continues to mount the birds, to climb to their saddle with a heart filled with joy, to draw upon the one-strap and, with a cry of exultation, to urge the monster aloft.	10
15	121	"Sell you for a saddle and weapons," I said.	10
15	224	"And I will need weapons, a saddle, money, gear, food, such things," I said.	10
16	36	"A saddle, weapons, money, supplies, such things," I answered, "and the freedom of Linna of Tharna, Andreas of Tor, and those who fought this afternoon in the Amusements of Tharna".	10
16	100	Now, I thought, it would be free, escaping at last to some rude habitat where it might, without saddle and harness, without a silver hobble, reign as the Ubar of the Skies that it was.	10
16	124	The uninjured warrior had now climbed to the saddle of the tarn, to whose ankle ring I lay helplessly chained.	10
19	90	"In this cause," I said, "whether you are of the Caste of Peasants, or Poets, or Metal Workers, or Saddle-Makers, you must be warriors!" "We shall," said Kron of Tharna, his fist holding the great hammer with which he had struck off our shackles.	10
20	118	A similar device, I supposed, might prevent the entry of high tharlarions, the saddle lizards of Gor, into the mountains.	10
22	111	He scattered my council and defeated my armies and took me and stripped me and bound me naked across the saddle of his bird and then, with a great cry, he carried me to his city, and there I, once proud Tatrix of Tharna, wore his brand and collar".	10

8	150	Thus if one tower failed to report when expected the alarm bars of Ko-ro-ba would soon ring and her tarnsmen would saddle and be aflight.	10
25	119	In none of the cases did I spy a tarn, one of the great, predatory saddle birds of Gor, perhaps because they do not thrive well in captivity.	10
33	42	There were men in that crowd from Ar, from Thentis, from Tharna, recognized by the two yellow cords in their belt; from Port Kar; from Tor, Cos, Tyros; perhaps from Treve, Vika's home city; perhaps even from fallen, vanished Ko-ro-ba; and the men in that crowd were of all castes, and even of castes ...	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
20	142	The slave rings on the tarn saddle are similar to those on the kaiila saddle and in a trice Harold, using the thongs streaming from the slave rings, one on each side of the saddle, had bound the girl on her back across the saddle in front of him.	10
10	450	The warrior of the Wagon Peoples does not use the short sword, probably because such a weapon could not be optimally used from the saddle of the kaiila; the saber, incidentally, which would be somewhat more effective from kaiilaback, is almost unknown on Gor; its role, I gather, is more than fulfill...	10
2	68	On the saddle there also hung, on one side, a coiled rope of braided boskhide and, on the other, a long, three-weighted bola of the sort used in hunting tumits and men; in the saddle itself, on the right side, indicating the rider must be right-handed, were the seven sheaths for the almost legendary...	10
8	304	The saddle of the kaiila, like the tarn saddle, is made in such a way as to accommodate, bound across it, a female captive, rings being fixed on both sides through which binding fiber or thong may be passed.	10
8	492	Her hands were out, trying instinctively to maintain her balance; the bola weights were still snapping about her ankles in tiny, angry circles; in an instant she would fall to the grass; racing past I seized her by the hair and threw her over the saddle; scarcely did she comprehend what was happenin...	10
10	232	I bent down in the saddle and tensed to kick the kaiila forward to sweep her to the saddle, turn and race for our lives.	10
13	13	He hoisted himself to the saddle of his kaiila, a prancing and trembling hunting sleen on each side of the animal, the chains running to the pommel of the saddle.	10
27	220	She took his hand and he drew her to the saddle before him, where she turned, sitting across the saddle, and placed her head against his right shoulder, weeping.	10
28	21	I set her on the saddle of the tarn, telling her to hold to the pommel of the saddle.	10
28	44	Swiftly I climbed the short ladder to the tarn saddle, and tied it against the saddle.	10
2	66	He was very erect in the saddle.	10
2	67	His lance remained on his back, but he carried in his right hand the small, powerful horn bow of the Wagon Peoples and attached to his saddle was a lacquered, narrow, rectangular quiver containing as many as forty arrows.	10
2	87	The members of these clans, however, like the Year Keepers and Singers, are all expected, first and foremost, to be, as it is said, of the wagons—namely to follow, tend and protect the bosk, to be superb in the saddle, and to be skilled with the weapons of both the hunt and war.	10
3	7	The children of the Wagon Peoples are taught the saddle of the kaiila before they can walk.	10
3	71	They conferred again for a moment and then the warrior of the Kataii approached, a lithe, strong proud man, one in whose eyes I could read that he had never lost his saddle, nor turned from a foe.	10
3	104	Angrily he wound it about the pommel of the saddle.	10
3	110	The Paravaci, in his cape and hood of white fur, with the priceless necklace wrapped about the pommel of his saddle, sat stiff, not moving, utterly enraged.	10
4	1	The Outcome of Spear Gambling The Tuchuk warrior lifted the lance in triumph, in the same instant slipping his fist into the retention knot and kicking the roweled heels of his boots into the silken flanks of his mount, the animal springing towards me and the rider in the same movement, as if one wi...	10
4	35	I saw him draw one of the quivas from a saddle sheath, loosen the long, triple-weighted bola from his side.	10
5	16	The Tuchuk, incidentally, like others of the Wagon Peoples, prays only when mounted, only when in the saddle and with weapons at hand; he prays to the sky not as a slave to a master, nor a servant to a god, but as a warrior to a Ubar; the women of the Wagon Peoples, it might be mentioned, are not pe...	10
5	74	"Stand aside, you fool!" cried a girl's voice, and, to my astonishment, astride the saddle of the monster I espied a girl, young, astonishingly beautiful, vital, angry, pulling at the control straps of the animal.	10
5	76	She wore a brief leather skirt, slit on the right side to allow her the saddle of the kaiila; her leather blouse was sleeveless; attached to her shoulders was a crimson cape; and her wild black hair was bound back by a band of scarlet cloth.	10
7	28	I gathered that once, in his earlier years, he might have been a rider of the kaiila, that he might have been skilled with the bow and lance, and the quiva; such a man would not need ceremony; I sensed that once this man might have ridden six hundred pasangs in a day, living on a mouthful of water a...	10
7	29	And yet was I sad as I looked upon him, for I sensed that for this man there could no longer be the saddle of the kaiila, the whirling of the rope and bola, the hunt and the war.	10
8	54	* * * * On the back of the kaiila, the black lance in hand, bending down in the saddle, I raced past a wooden wand fixed in the earth, on the top of which was placed a dried tospit, a small, wrinkled, yellowish-white peachlike fruit, about the size of a plum, which grows on the tospit bush, patches ...	10
8	215	The bow, of course, small, for use from the saddle, lacks the range and power of the Gorean longbow or crossbow; still, at close range, with considerable force, firing rapidly, arrow after arrow, it is a fearsome weapon.	10
8	216	I was most fond, perhaps, of the balanced saddle knife, the quiva; it is about a foot in length, double edged; it tapers to a daggerlike point.	10
8	258	Albrecht was rearing on his kaiila, loosening the bola at his saddle.	10
8	302	Conrad freed his bola from the saddle strap.	10
8	305	On the other hand, I knew, in this sport no time would be taken for such matters; in a few heartbeats of the kaiila the girl's wrists and ankles would be lashed together and she would be, without ceremony, slung over the pommel of the saddle, it the stake, her body the ring.	10
8	402	"If you win for us," Albrecht said to her, grinning down from the saddle of the kaiila, "this night you will be given a silver bracelet and five yards of scarlet silk".	10
8	518	I refastened the bola at my saddle.	10
8	571	He held his saddle on his rearing kaiila.	10
8	613	He then put a leather thong on the neck of each and tied the free ends to the pommel of his saddle.	10
8	621	Then for no reason I understood, I took binding fiber and bound her wrists before her body, and, as Kamchak had done with the other girls, put a thong on her neck and tied it to the pommel of my saddle.	10
10	17	Yesterday afternoon, for an incredible forty pieces of gold, four quivas and the saddle of a kaiila, Kamchak had sold Tenchika back to Albrecht.	10
10	19	Dina, though she was slave, I had placed on the saddle before me, her legs over the left forequarters of the animal, and had ridden with her from the wagons, until in the distance I could see the gleaming, white walls of Turia.	10
10	54	I sprang from the saddle of the kaiila and kneeling beside her held her in my arms, pressing her head against my shoulder.	10
10	95	I leaped into the saddle and waved to the girl, who had run a few yards and then turned.	10
10	118	Now, again, Elizabeth, visibly shaken, ill, realized that she might, should it please Kamchak's whims, be sold or exchanged with the same ease as a saddle or a hunting sleen.	10
10	182	For all his uproarious stomping about the wagon last night, paga bottle in hand, singing gusty Tuchuk songs, half frightening Miss Cardwell to death, he seemed in good spirits, looking about, whistling, occasionally pounding a little rhythm on the side of his saddle.	10
10	247	In a moment, to a thunder of kaiila paws on the turf, racing between the lines of stakes, scattering sand, there came a great number of riders, their black hair swirling behind them, who pulled up on their mounts, rearing and squealing, between the stakes, and leaped from the saddle to the sand, rel...	10
10	315	He leaned down from the saddle.	10
10	325	Those lovely almond eyes, had they been weapons, would have slain him in the saddle like a bolt of lightning.	10
10	454	The saber, incidentally, is not only unpopular among the Wagon Peoples but among the warriors of Gor generally; it is regarded as being too long and clumsy a weapon for the close, sharp combat so dear to the heart of the warrior of the cities; further it is not of much use from the saddle of a tarn ...	10
11	108	"Am I to be bound across the saddle?" she asked numbly.	10
11	111	Already Kamchak was placing a thong on her neck, the loose end of which he looped several times about the pommel of his saddle.	10
11	124	"It is true!" roared Kamchak, grinning and slapping the side of the saddle.	10
11	135	Kamchak leaped down from the saddle of the kaiila, puffing a bit.	10
11	301	Her gaze rested for a moment on the kaiila saddle which had been part of the spoils which Kamchak had acquired for Tenchika.	10
11	302	In the saddle, in their sheaths, were seven quivas.	10
11	315	Aphris had sprung to her feet and run to the side of the wagon where there lay the kaiila saddle with its seven sheathed quivas.	10
11	316	She jerked one of the quivas from its saddle sheath and stood with the blade facing us.	10
11	397	I saw her eyes furtively dart toward the kaiila saddle with its seven quivas.	10
13	125	At another wagon he haggled over a set of quivas, forged in Ar, and, obtaining his price, arranged to have them, with a new saddle, brought to his wagon on the morrow.	10
13	139	I resolved to mention the matter to him sometime—but not this evening—for I was convinced this would not be a good evening for anyone in the wagon, except perhaps for Kamchak, who seemed pleased about the arrangements he had made with the herder pertaining to crossing livestock and the...	10
14	9	The quivas are always in the saddle sheaths.	10
14	26	The kaiila I rode already had, on the saddle, the quivas, the rope and bola.	10
20	129	"I am Harold of the Tuchuks," he said, "I am a skilled tarnsman—I have ridden over a thousand tarns—I have spent more time in the tarn saddle than most men on their feet—I was conceived on tarnback—I was born on tarnback—I eat tarns—fear me! I am Harold of t...	10
20	134	"Get into the saddle," I said.	10
20	135	"Yes!" he said, and climbed up, missing one of the rungs of the rope ladder at the saddle and slipping his leg through it.	10
20	136	I then managed to get him to the saddle and made sure he fastened the safety strap.	10
20	137	As swiftly as I could I then explained to him the guidance apparatus, the main saddle ring and its six straps.	10
20	150	As quickly as I could I then unhobbled the other bird and climbed to the saddle, fastening the broad safety strap.	10
21	39	I purchased these things from the man from whom Kamchak had, on a happier afternoon, obtained a new saddle and set of quivas.	10
21	350	Already I saw a Tuchuk with a dozen silver cups tied on a string to his saddle.	10
23	28	Hakimba was adamant and it was with a heavy heart that I climbed once more to the saddle of my tarn.	10
23	29	In the saddle I said to him, "I have heard that the Paravaci are killing bosk".	10
23	50	He had apparently, in the past several days since our escape from Saphrar's keep, been familiarizing himself with the saddle straps and the bird's habits and responses.	10
23	67	Our bosk horns rang out and my brave Thousand, worn in the saddle, weary, on spent kaiila, without a murmur or a protest, turned and following my lead struck into the center of the Paravaci forces.	10
23	80	In a moment, maintaining my saddle in spite of the leaping and stumbling of my kaiila over the slain bosk, fallen kaiila and screaming men, I gave orders to turn the bosk back and reform them near the wagons.	10
23	211	The saddle on the side had been cut and the quivas had been taken from their sheaths.	10
24	170	"Properly so," remarked Harold and leaped to his kaiila, untethering the beast and springing to its saddle.	10
24	174	Muttering I jerked loose the reins of my kaiila from the column to which I had tethered it, leaped to the saddle and raced after Harold, not wishing to be left behind somewhere in the streets of Turia or among the dark wagons beyond the gate, pounding on wagon after wagon to find which one might be ...	10
25	156	I spun about and to my astonishment saw that Elizabeth Cardwell had arisen and stood proudly, defiantly, angrily before me, as though she might have been a freshly collared slave girl, brought in but an Ahn before, bound over the saddle of a kaiila, the fruit of a slave raid.	10
26	68	The fighting would be fierce, but it did not seem that the outcome would be in doubt, even from the beginning—particularly now that the tarnsmen of Ha-Keel had left the city, the saddle packs of their tarns bulging with Turian gold.	10
26	98	About the pommel of Kamchak's saddle were tied several bags of gold, each weighed out to four stone.	10
26	120	Kamchak untied two of the sacks of gold from the pommel of his saddle.	10
26	189	When he can ride teach him the saddle of the kaiila, the quiva, the bow and lance.	10
26	441	I began to shake in the saddle of the kaiila, trembling.	10
26	545	Harold began to pound his saddle and howl with laughter.	10
26	546	Kamchak's eyes, had they been jets of fire, would have frizzled the young, blond Tuchuk in his saddle.	10

13	837	Suddenly, before he had even touched the lashings at my ankles, he turned about, abruptly, in the saddle.	10
13	839	In one moment, as I screamed, terrified, thrown rudely against my bonds, he had jerked his shield from the saddle straps and wheeled the tarn, with a cry of rage, a strange war cry, to face his foe.	10

14	425	The roving tarnsman, with his leather loops at the side of his saddle, thinking of trying "chain luck," the scrutinizing slaver, with his capture loops and notebooks, engaged in the commerce of women, may surely better assess a half-naked quarry.	10
