Book 2. (24 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
13 142 I stood there, ankle deep in the sand, covered with sweat and sand, my back open from the lash of the race, my side torn from the driving horn of Kron's yoke.
Details
10
15 260 "No," I laughed, "it is back to Tharna with you!" I still wore the golden scarf about my neck, from the arena, that scarf which had initiated the games, and which I had picked up from the sand to wipe away the sand and sweat.
Details
10
13 2 The white sand, perfumed, sprinkled with mica and red lead, burned my feet.
Details
10
13 5 My back felt the jab of spears as I was prodded ahead and stumbled forward, unsteady under the weight of the yoke, my feet sinking to their ankles in the hot sand.
Details
10
13 21 My legs were jerked from beneath me and I fell heavily in the sand.
Details
10
13 26 The surface of the area, white sand, perfumed and sparkling with mica and red lead, added to the colorful mien of the place.
Details
10
13 69 Shamelessly we fell in the sand.
Details
10
13 110 Suddenly the foot of Kron swept through the white perfumed sand, bright with mica and red lead, and kicked a broad sheet of particles toward my eyes.
Details
10
13 113 I reared up under his body, heaving it on my shoulder, backwards, over on the sand.
Details
10
13 120 I heard his short, quick, running steps in the sand, thudding toward me in a bull-like charge.
Details
10
13 131 Kron cursed as he felt his feet leave the sand.
Details
10
13 134 Kron, still a captive of the yoke, now unconscious, slid down the wall, the weight of the yoke tumbling his inert body sideways in the sand.
Details
10
13 135 My sweat and the tears from the burning irritation of the sand had now cleared my vision.
Details
10
13 145 As I stood there in the center of the arena, alone, silent, aloof, not seeming to hear them, those hundreds, rather thousands, who wore the silver masks understood that their will had been spurned, that this creature alone on the sand beneath them had thwarted their pleasure.
Details
10
14 6 Mingled with calls for the tarn, occasional taunts and jibes carried across the sand.
Details
10
14 13 I was free to wander on the sand, enclosed only by the walls.
Details
10
14 15 That I might run, that I might scream and grovel, that I might try to cover myself in the sand would surely delight the silver masks of Tharna.
Details
10
14 24 I grinned up at the golden mask, and taking the scarf slowly wiped the sand and sweat from my face.
Details
10
14 31 Slowly as the creaking platform rolled out onto the sand, drawn by its struggling slaves, yoked like oxen, I saw the tarn revealed, a black giant, hooded, its beak belted together, a great bar of silver chained to one of its legs.
Details
10
14 39 I saw the great wings snap, smiting the air, the hurricane from their blow spilling slaves into the sand, tangling chains, as the great beast, lifting its head and smelling the open air, struck it with his wings.
Details
10
14 45 He flew tumbling into the sand.
Details
10
14 85 I stood in the sand, away from the platform, and watched the ticklish business of unhooding the tarn.
Details
10
14 156 Some spears fell in lazy loops below us, short by far, falling back again into the gala-colored sand of the arena.
Details
10
26 53 They knelt before her—once proud silver masks, now terrified and helpless captives—on the same sparkling sand that had so often been stained with the blood of the men of Tharna.

10 326 "How pleased I shall be," hissed the girl, "to see you on your knees in the sand begging Kamras of Turia to finish you!" "Tonight, little Aphris," said Kamchak, "as I promised you, you shall spend your first night in the dung sack".
Details
10
10 404 I thought that a humane arrangement—that two men must understand who it is they face before entering the circle of sand.
Details
10
10 409 It appeared she was to depart for Turia without so much as a handful of sand kicked about on her behalf.
Details
10
10 443 Two men, from Ar, I took it, came forward with rakes and began to smooth the circle of sand between the stakes, for it had been somewhat disturbed in the inspection of the girls.
Details
10
10 553 Kamras then began to chase Kamchak about the ring of sand.
Details
10
10 559 Then, as though weary, Kamchak, puffing, sat down in the sand.
Details
10
10 573 "Kill him!" But now, almost like a drunk man, Kamras was fighting for his life and the Tuchuk, like a bear, scarcely moving more than arm and wrist, followed him about, shuffling through the sand after him, touching him again and again with the blade.
Details
10
10 576 Kamras tried to lift his sword but the boot of Kamchak pressed it into the sand, and Kamras lifted his eyes to look dazed into the scarred, inscrutable countenance of the Tuchuk.
Details
10
10 580 Kamras fell in the sand at the feet of Kamchak, unable even to beg for mercy.
Details
10
10 582 Rather he threw the sword he carried into the sand and though he threw it easily it slipped through almost to the hilt.
Details
10
11 21 I turned to see, only a few feet away, on the shoulders of slaves standing on the bloodied sand, the open, bejeweled, cushioned palanquin of Saphrar of the Caste of Merchants.

6 39 There was a cry and I looked again to the square of sand and the first slave, with the hook knife in his left hand, had plunged across the sand, taking a stroke across the chest, to strike his own blue line blow at his opponent.
Details
10
15 110 It was not known if he had been originally slave or not, but had he been he surely would have won his freedom ten times over and more; again and again, even after he would have won his freedom had he first been slave, he returned to the sand of the arena, steel in hand; I supposed it might be the go...

15 113 For one thing he never slew an opponent, though the man often could never fight again; the afternoon I had seen him the crowd cried for the death of his defeated opponent, lying bloodied in the sand, pleading for mercy between his legs, and Murmillius had lifted his sword as though to slay the man, ...

2 52 In the center of the tables, under a hanging lamp, there was a square area, recessed, filled with sand, in which men might fight or girls dance.
Details
10
2 53 Beyond the area of the sand and the many tables there was a high wall, some twenty feet or so high, in which there were four levels, each containing seven small curtained alcoves, the entrances to which were circular, with a diameter of about twenty-four inches.

2 83 He tried foolishly to hide behind a group of men but they threw him to the center of the pit of sand in the tavern.

2 146 Hup, whining, crawled away from the sand on his hands and knees.

10
2 149 Then the dark shape of the Assassin seemed to move like a swift shadow in the room, and each of the three Warriors leaped toward him, but seemed to fail to find him, and another man, without even the flash of sword steel, dropped to his knees and fell forward in the pit of sand; the other two men st...

12 10 The wing of one bird was apparently broken, for the netmen, after binding it, quickly cut its throat, the blood falling through the net, staining it, soaking into the sand below in a brownish red patch.

10
12 11 Its rider took the saddle and control straps from the still-quivering bird and dropped with them through the broad strands of the net, to the sand some six feet below.

17 327 Near the pit of sand several slave girls, dancers, in Pleasure Silk were kneeling back on their heels and clapping their hands with glee.
Details
10
17 328 In the pit of sand one of the guards, utterly drunk, was performing a ship dance, the movement of his legs marvelously suggesting the pitch and roll of a deck, his hands moving as though climbing rope, then hauling rope, then splicing and knotting it.
Details
10
17 332 A moment later another guard leaped into the pit of sand and, to the amusement of the girls, began a dance of larl hunters, joined by two or three others, in a file, dancing the stalking of the beast, the confrontation, the kill.
Details
10
17 333 The man who had been dancing the ship dance had now left the pit of sand and, over against one wall, in the shadows of the torchlight, largely unnoted, danced alone, danced for himself the memories of gleaming Thassa and the swift black ships, the Tarns of the Sea, as the galleys of Port Kar are kno...

17 363 Ho-Sorl carried the struggling Phyllis Robertson to the square of sand, and flung her to his feet.

10
17 367 He laughed and she screamed and tried to escape but he took her by the hair and, crouching over her, pressed her back weeping to the sand.
Details
10
17 369 But instead of tugging on the loop, he simply, holding her under the arms, lifted her up, and then dropped her on her seat in the sand, where she sat foolishly, bewildered, looking up at him.

10
17 373 Phyllis had now struggled to her feet, blushing a red visible even under the torches, and, unsteady, trembling slightly, was trying to brush the sand from her hair, her legs and her slave livery.

20 28 Portus, half wasted now, his skin hanging about his frame, was brought, manacled, stripped to the waist, to the square of sand.

10
20 31 "Show mercy!" The slave whom I had originally seen victorious in the sport of hook knife sprang to the sand and began to stalk Portus.
Details
10
20 35 At last he fell into the sand covered with blood at the feet of the laughing slave, quivering, whining, unable to move.

10
20 37 Whimpering, Portus was dragged from the sand, leaving blood across the tiles, and was taken from the hall.

21 181 At the entrance to the Stadium of Blades the blaze of the sun off the white sand momentarily blinded me.

21 245 With a cry of rage he threw himself at me and the cry died in his throat, he sprawling in his astonishment, his death and his blood, crosswise in the sand.

10
21 253 He cried out and fell before me, twisting in the sand, clawing at it.

10
21 268 As fans they shouted their anger at the deceit which had been practiced; as men they roared their fury at the unfair odds now designate upon the sand.

10
21 274 He threw the whip to the sand and ran howling from the arena.
Details
10
21 307 The remaining two Taurentians who had stumbled scrambled to their feet, scraping awkwardly back through the sand.
Details
10
21 314 Taurentians, perhaps two hundred of them, were filing rapidly to the sand, weapons ready.
Details
10
21 321 The crowd began to press against the spears of the Taurentians in the tiers, who, at the edge of the tiers, at the top of the wall overtopping the sand, resolutely held them back.
Details
10
21 344 I noted that one Taurentian after another, in a line, approaching, slipped to the sand.
Details
10
21 390 The crowds, in their thousands, began to swarm over the walls, dropping to the sand screaming.
Details
10
21 408 Murmillius spread his hand over the crowds on the sand and in the tiers.
Details
10
21 410 I raced from the sand to the wall and, seizing a cloak lowered by one who wore the armband of imperial purple, scrambled upward.
Details
10
21 421 I hauled upon the one-strap and took the bird from the heights of the Stadium of Blades, streaking in a moment through the cylinders of Ar, leaving behind me men with whom I had fought, stained sand, and whatever we had together begun there.

10
22 3 As my bird, with a flash of wings, struck the sand of the compound, four men armed with crossbows rushed forward.
Details
10
22 113 I strode from the bird's side and made my way through the readying compound of the Steels until I climbed the stairs inside the low wall separating it from the area leading out onto the broad path leading to the starting perches; I dropped over the wall and made my way across the sand until I came t...

22 145 I broke his neck and threw him to the sand at the foot of the dividing wall.

22 165 Menicius of Port Kar, riding for the Yellows, tearing at the control straps of his bird, tarn goad showering sparks to the sand below, tarn screaming, fought his way, birds buffeting, past the Silver trying to regain the center of the rings.
Details
10
22 219 Then it tumbled from the perch into the sand.

10
22 320 I strode in the sunlight across the sand toward the starting perches.

22 569 Menicius, fumbling, unstrapped himself from the tarn saddle and leaped to the sand, running toward the box of the Ubar, his hands outstretched.
Details
10
22 571 Menicius, hit four times with iron bolts, spun and fell into the sand.
Details
10
22 588 Then gates leading onto the sand burst open and thousands of citizens, come from the Stadium of Blades, marching and singing, entered the Stadium of Tarns, at their head, helmeted and mighty, sword in hand, the magnificent Murmillius, hero of the Stadium of Blades.

10
22 594 And then, followed by his thousands, singing, across the sand, strode Murmillius.

22 612 I took his killing knife from my belt and threw it, blade down, into the sand beside the body.

6 604 From the garment, to the sand about her ankles, there fell several small Gorean plums, a small larma fruit and two silver tarsks.
Details
10
6 609 He retrieved his tarsks from the sand.
Details
10
6 622 With a moan she ran from us, to a place near the wall, near which she was, at night, chained in the sand.
Details
10
6 623 We walked over to where she knelt in the sand, terrified, digging, weeping.
Details
10
6 625 She lifted a piece of folded leather, many particles of sand clinging to it, to me.
Details
10
6 814 He slid backward in the sand.
Details
10
6 869 I pointed to the sand.
Details
10
6 870 She dropped to her knees in the sand, and put her head down.
Details
10
6 888 "Take her to the wall," I said, "to where she is chained for the night in the sand".
Details
10
6 893 "Tonight," I told the young man, "she is yours to chain in the sand".
Details
10
6 909 The men lay on their blankets in the sand, under the awnings stretched from the Tesephone.
Details
10
6 916 Before my shelter, on the sand, at the stern of the ship, there stood a figure.
Details
10
6 986 I saw the chains lying dark, half covered in the sand, not far from her feet.
Details
10
6 990 She looked down to the chains, half covered with sand.
Details
10
6 1034 She threw herself at me, across the sand, her fists raised to strike me.
Details
10
6 1048 She stepped back a foot in the sand.
Details
10
6 1061 It fell beside her ankles, in the sand.
Details
10
6 1066 There I thrust her to the sand, at my feet.
Details
10
6 1069 I sat then beside her, in the darkness, in the sand, under the canvas.
Details
10
6 1099 Sheera lay against me in the sand, her head pressed against my waist.
Details
10
6 1118 How beautiful she was! I seized her in my arms and threw her to her back in the sand.
Details
10
12 212 The sand, in many places, was torn, as though there might have been struggles.
Details
10
12 213 There was, deep in the sand, the impression of a keel, leading to the water.
Details
10
13 35 Shouting the war cry of Tyros, blades drawn, they ran toward me across the sand and pebbles of the northern shore of the Laurius.
Details
10
13 77 They stood in terror, barefoot in the sand, in the yellow silk, in throat coffle, their wrists bound behind their back, horrified with what they had seen.
Details
10
13 118 They fell before me in the sand, their hair to my sandal.
Details
10
13 131 "Slave," said I to the first girl, dark-haired, "head to the sand, speak".
Details
10
13 133 I looked down upon her, the stripped slave, kneeling, her head and hair pressed down, into the sand.
Details
10
13 142 "Head to the sand," I said, "speak".
Details
10
13 143 She plunged her lovely hair to the sand.
Details
10
13 150 She put her head, too, to the sand, and spoke, rapidly, trembling, the words tumbling forth.
Details
10
13 173 "Head to the sand," I told her.
Details
10
13 180 Her knees moved in the sand.
Details
10
13 231 I threw her to the sand with the other girls, and again fastened her, with them, in throat coffle.
Details
10
13 253 I saw the long mark in the sand, where the keel of the Tesephone had been dragged down to the water.
Details
10
13 264 I regarded the slave girls, standing in the sand, in coffle, their wrists behind their backs, bound.
Details
10
13 292 I thought it might be so, from the crumbling of the sand beside the keel track of the Tesephone.
Details
10
18 6 He had then stumbled down the beach, falling twice, until he came to the shallows and the sand, among driftwood, stones and damp weed, washed ashore in the morning tide.
Details
10
18 8 In the morning wind, and the fresh cut of the salt smell, the water flowed back from him, leaving him on the smooth wet sand.
Details
10
18 16 And then he turned about, and, slowly, step by step, marking the drier sand with his wet sandals, made his way again back up the beach.
Details
10
18 135 I heard the cry of sea birds, broad-winged gulls and the small, stick-legged tibits, pecking in the sand for tiny mollusks.
Details
10
18 161 Under the orders of Mira, the twenty-four slave girls in their coffle knelt on the sand, near the water's edge, in the position of pleasure slaves.
Details
10
18 308 I wiped sand from my right hand on the woolen tunic of Tyros.
Details
10
18 355 At the fringe of the forest, overlooking the sloping beach, covered with its stones, and, lower, with its sand, I found a strong, slender tree, with an outjutting branch some five feet from the ground, the branch facing away from the water.
Details
10
18 535 She emerged from the darkness, and fell to her knees in the wet sand before the man in yellow who had leaped from the longboat.
Details
10
18 542 She knelt in the sand, her head down, trembling.
Details
10
18 559 Again she fell to the sand at their feet, and pressed her lips to the foot of their leader.
Details
10
18 582 She stood on the sand, shuddering.
Details
10
18 594 "Lie in the sand before me, Slave," said the leader.
Details
10
18 596 Tina lay in the sand before him, one knee raised, her head turned to one side.
Details
10
18 636 Tina was thrown to her stomach in the sand, and bound hand and foot.
Details
10
18 656 I slipped ashore, thrusting the log onto the sand, some two hundred yards away, among large rocks, concealed from the light of the beacon.
Details
10
19 29 These they trimmed, and dragged to the sand between the stockade and the shore.
Details
10
21 220 The beacon of Sarus was now only reddish stones of wood, like the eyes of beasts, looming in the darkness, lying on the sand.
Details
10
22 12 With them, coming slowly, too, across the sand, to where we waited for them, were Sarus and his men, chained, and, bound and in throat coffle, stripped, shivering, Hura's women.
Details
10
22 178 They lay on their sides in the sand.
Details
10
22 252 He threw her over his shoulder and walked to the sand at the foot of the beach.
Details
10
22 356 "This woman," said Marlenus, thrusting Hura with his foot to the sand, "I claim".
Details
10
22 368 Grenna, in her tatters of white wool, her hands tied behind her back, knelt before me, head to the sand.
Details
10
22 473 Then, she gasping, soaked, he wet from the chest down, he threw her to the sand.
Details
10
22 476 Her garment beneath her in the wet sand, she reached now for his lips, his head and body, touching him and crying out.
Details
10
22 483 He indicated Mira, on her knees, wrists bound behind her body, kneeling in the sand.
Details
10
22 487 Hura lay, unmoving, her eyes dry, her body still twisted in the sand.
Details
10
22 490 Marlenus took her by the hair and threw her, too, to the sand beside Hura.
Details
10
22 542 Hura and Mira, secured, lay frightened on the sand.
Details
10
22 544 The women, hair loose, the slave silk wet and covered by sand, earrings in their ears, followed them, standing behind them.
Details
10
22 669 The men stood on the sand and watched them depart.

22 792 She knelt before my chair, on the sand.

10
22 794 Her knees were in the sand, her head was down.
Details
10
22 825 Ilene was thrust forward to the sand before my chair.
Details
10
22 848 Picking up the switch from the sand, with which Ilene had often beaten her, she struck her.

10
22 854 Ilene, tears in her eyes, her head turned to the side, lay on her stomach in the sand, confined in the sirik.

14 262 Hamid, who was lieutenant to Shakar, captain of the Aretai, now in the red sand veil of the men of the Guard of the Dunes, stood near.

19 2 Through the sand, I plunged toward him.
Details
10
19 31 The wind whipped the nearby sand.
Details
10
19 132 Flecks of sand struck against my face.
Details
10
19 139 It was only as it approached that I understood it to be hundreds of feet in height, perhaps a hundred pasangs in width; the sky above it was gray, then black like smoke; then I could watch it no longer, that I might not be blinded; I shielded my eyes with my hands; I turned my back to it; I crouched...
Details
10
19 141 The sky was black with sand; brush, like startled, bounding tabuk, leaped, driven, over my head; the wind howled.
Details
10
19 162 It was standing there, in the pelting sand, looming, looking down upon us.
Details
10
19 165 We struggled to our feet, our feet buried in sand, swept into the ditch, our backs suddenly cut by the lash of the storm.
Details
10
19 168 Sand clung in its fur.
Details
10
19 182 The wind and sand whipped about us.
Details
10
19 183 The beast did not move but remained, its eyes, half-shut, rimmed with sand, fixed upon me, its great arm pointing toward the dune country.
Details
10
19 185 Once, briefly, I lost sight of Hassan, then again saw him, no more than a yard from me in the darkness, in the pelting, driven sand.
Details
10
20 9 We had gone perhaps less than a pasang when we fell, rolled from our feet, and lay in the sand, protecting our heads and the water.
Details
10
20 17 From a small rise, we saw the remains of the trench, filled with sand, to within six inches of its top.
Details
10
20 19 Beside the trench, on its back, half covered with sand, lay the Kur.
Details
10
20 26 Its fur was coated with sand.
Details
10
20 38 The eyes, rimmed with sand, were black-pupiled; the corneas, usually yellow, seemed pale, flattishly colored; the leathery snout seemed dry, the lips were drawn back about the fangs; the tongue, black, seemed large; it seemed thin for a Kur, haggard; I realized then that its tissues reflected dehydr...
Details
10
20 80 It suddenly rolled in the sand.
Details
10
21 22 Impatiently, he would crouch near me, when I fell to the sand, to sleep.
Details
10
21 135 Sometimes our path took us toward it, but when we reached it, it was sand, the air above it rippling and troubled in the desert's heat.
Details
10
21 151 With portions of the water bag and shreds from it, the Kur bound his feet, to protect them from the sand.
Details
10
21 153 I felt this, as I lay in the sand and grit, knotted about my throat.
Details
10
21 162 The wind whipped across the sand.
Details
10
21 167 Sometime in the late afternoon I must have fallen unconscious in the sand.
Details
10
21 179 The Kur, near me, half covered with sand, stirred by the wind, slept.
Details
10
21 183 I sat in the sand, my back against a dune.
Details
10
21 193 No longer was it sleek, but now it seemed lifeless, brittle; it was dry; it was coated with sand.
Details
10
21 196 About the snout, the nostrils, the mouth and lips, were tiny fissures, broken open, filled with sand.
Details
10
21 197 Sand, too, rimmed the nostrils and eyes, and the mouth and lips.
Details
10
21 198 It lay in the sand, curled, its head facing away from the wind, like something discarded, needed no longer, cast aside.
Details
10
21 205 The beast rolled to its feet, and shook the sand from its fur.
Details
10
21 217 I tasted sand, and salt.
Details
10
21 222 At the corners the tiny cracks about the eyes were coated with sand.
Details
10
21 235 I took it, with the sand, licking at it, now able to swallow it.
Details
10
21 267 In the sand, with one digit, he drew a single mark.
Details
10
21 268 He curled the great clawed right fist, and struck the sand once with it, hopelessly.
Details
10
21 269 Then he fell into the sand.
Details
10
21 273 I dug a trench in the sand.
Details
10
21 277 To my horror he struggled again to his feet, and, shaking the sand from his body, took up again the march.
Details
10
21 323 The Kur pressed on, through the pelting sand.
Details
10
21 330 I released the fur to which I had clung in the sand and darkness, that I not be separated from the Kur, that I might be kept on my feet, that I might, thus aided, be abetted in the continuation of the journey.
Details
10
21 332 I stood unsteadily then, at his side, in the wind and darkness, my feet in the sand, trying to remain upright.
Details
10
21 334 Was it real? Is it some sort of illusion, or mirage? Then, for a brief moment, I saw again the cylinder of steel, and then, again, it was gone, lost in the blackness of the driven sand.
Details
10
21 374 The Kur sank to the sand.
Details
10
21 386 The beast lay in the sand.
Details
10
21 391 The sand beneath the beast grew red.
Details
10
21 400 I froze, as I saw, through the wind and sand, another Kur.
Details
10
21 422 Then the sand closed between us.
Details
10
21 424 I saw him, twice, through gaps in the sand.
Details
10
21 428 He approached, through the sand.
Details
10
21 435 The beast emerged from the sand.
Details
10
21 437 Suddenly I saw the Kur as though in red light, and the sand, too, darkly red to black.
Details
10
21 453 I slipped back into the whipping sand.
Details
