Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
1 414 "This is Ibn Saran, salt merchant of the river port of Kasra," said Samos.
Details
10
1 421 "Ibn Saran, in the past months, has heard an unusual thing," said Samos.
Details
10
1 425 "The noble Samos has been most kind," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
1 427 I extended my hand to Ibn Saran and he, bowing twice, brushed twice the palm of his hand against mine.
Details
10
1 428 "I am pleased to make the acquaintance of he who is friend to Samos of Port Kar," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
1 433 "If it pleases you, noble Ibn Saran," said Samos, "would you speak before my friend what heard you in Kasra".
Details
10
1 466 "By noon," said Ibn Saran, "the boy was found.
Details
10
1 470 "What," I asked, "was the story of the boy?" "What, in pursuing the kaiila, he found," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
1 474 "Near the rock, dead," said Ibn Saran, "blistered, blackened by the sun, dried, weighing no more than a child or woman, was a man.
Details
10
1 478 "It, judging from discarded accouterments," said Ibn Saran, "was a raider".
Details
10
1 480 "No," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
1 482 "How long had he been on the desert?" "I do not know," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
1 485 Ibn Saran smiled thinly.
Details
10
1 491 "That was scratched on the rock," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
1 493 "No," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
1 496 Samos rose to his feet and, touching twice the palm of the right hand of Ibn Saran, took his leave.
Details
10
1 497 I noted that Ibn Saran ate only with the right hand.
Details
10
1 816 It was in this port that the warehouses of Ibn Saran, salt merchant, currently the guest of Samos of Port Kar, were to be found.
Details
10
1 863 Ibn Saran, salt merchant of Kasra, did not rise from behind the table behind which, cross-legged, he sat.
Details
10
1 867 "Either girl's use, or that of both, is yours, noble Ibn Saran," said Samos, "if you wish".
Details
10
1 872 "Do I understand," asked Ibn Saran, "that your path leads you to the Tahari?" "Yes," I said.
Details
10
1 873 "That direction, too, is mine," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
1 876 Ibn Saran rose to his feet, and brushed his hand against the right palm of Samos, twice, and against my right palm, twice.
Details
10
1 908 "Are you not traveling with Ibn Saran?" asked Samos.
Details
10
5 31 "I regret," said Ibn Saran, "that we could not travel together to Kasra, and then Tor".
Details
10
5 33 "It was my loss," smiled Ibn Saran, lifting to his lips a tiny, steaming cup of black wine.
Details
10
5 43 It was not lost on Suleiman, or Ibn Saran.
Details
10
5 45 Ibn Saran, not taking his eyes from Alyena, lifted his finger.
Details
10
5 53 Ibn Saran lifted another finger.
Details
10
5 59 She then held the cup to the side of her cheek, testing its temperature; Ibn Saran glanced at her; she, looking at him, timidly kissed the side of the cup and placed it before him.
Details
10
5 62 I wondered if she belonged to Suleiman or Ibn Saran.
Details
10
5 216 * * * * Ibn Saran, watching the yellow-silked, collared slave dance, sipped his hot, black wine.
Details
10
5 520 Recently, too, had Ibn Saran, with a caravan, arrived at the oasis.
Details
10
5 526 I suspected that my being summoned to the presence of Suleiman was not unconnected with the arrival of Ibn Saran at the oasis.
Details
10
5 543 But when Ibn Saran had arrived at the oasis, Suleiman had invited me to his presence.
Details
10
5 544 I wondered if he had been waiting for Ibn Saran.
Details
10
5 545 Ibn Saran, it seemed to me, exercised more influence at the Oasis of Nine Wells than one might have expected of a mere merchant of salt.
Details
10
5 547 Alyena, in dancing, sensed the power of Ibn Saran.
Details
10
5 556 Ibn Saran, languid, observed the dancer.
Details
10
5 669 At a languid gesture from Ibn Saran, Alyena lifted herself from the scarlet tiles, gracefully turning from her side to her knees, and then, head back, hair to the floor, slowly, inch by melodic protesting inch, arms before her body, lifted herself to a kneeling position, erect, the last bit of her t...
Details
10
5 670 Then, looking to Ibn Saran, suddenly she bent forward, as though impulsively, as though she could not help herself, and, hands on the tiles, head down, kissed the tiles at his feet, before his slippers.
Details
10
5 676 "May I strip your slave?" inquired Ibn Saran.
Details
10
5 709 Alyena, now, slowly, disengaged the dancing silk from her hips, yet held it, moving it on and about her body, by her hands, taunting the reclining, languid, heavy-lidded Ibn Saran, to whom she knew, at his slightest gesture, she must bare herself.
Details
10
5 711 I, too, in my way, though doubtless less skillful than the noble Ibn Saran, was a connoisseur of slave girls.
Details
10
5 741 At a signal from Ibn Saran, Alyena drew the veil about her body, and around it, and, with one small hand, threw it aside.
Details
10
5 811 Then she stopped, marvelously, motionlessly, as the music was silent, her head back, her arms high, her body covered with sweat, and then, to the last swirl of the barbaric melody, fell to the floor at the feet of Ibn Saran.
Details
10
5 814 Ibn Saran, magnanimously, gestured that she might rise, and she did so, standing before him, head high, breathing deeply.
Details
10
5 815 Ibn Saran looked at me.
Details
10
5 819 Ibn Saran gestured to Suleiman.
Details
10
5 822 "And I," said Ibn Saran, "would not feel it gracious to bid against the host in whose house I find such welcome".
Details
10
5 824 "Ah," said Ibn Saran, bowing.
Details
10
5 834 Had it not been for Ibn Saran, I suspected I would not have been admitted even to the presence of the Pasha of Nine Wells.
Details
10
5 841 I did not think either Ibn Saran or Suleiman heard it.
Details
10
5 877 Ibn Saran drew forth his scimitar.
Details
10
5 884 "Kavar spy!" cried Ibn Saran.
Details
10
5 886 "Cut him down!" cried Ibn Saran, raising his scimitar.
Details
10
6 11 "Cut him down!" had cried Ibn Saran, raising his scimitar.
Details
10
6 14 Smiling, Ibn Saran had sheathed his weapon.
Details
10
6 26 Ibn Saran, in silken kaftan, and kaffiyeh and agal, strode to the rack.
Details
10
6 33 "Listen carefully, little Zaya," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
6 40 Ibn Saran smiled.
Details
10
6 57 "Have you told the truth, pretty Zaya?" inquired Ibn Saran.
Details
10
6 71 "Think now, my pretty," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
6 74 "Think carefully now, pretty Vella," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
6 78 Ibn Saran nodded to the judge.
Details
10
6 82 "What is the truth, pretty Vella?" asked Ibn Saran.
Details
10
6 85 "The truth," she said, "is as Ibn Saran says".
Details
10
6 86 "Who struck noble Suleiman Pasha?" asked Ibn Saran, quietly.
Details
10
6 93 "In the confusion," said Ibn Saran, "it was he, the accused, who struck Suleiman Pasha, and then went, with others, to the window".
Details
10
6 95 "I saw it," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
6 111 "Was it he who struck Suleiman Pasha?" asked Ibn Saran.
Details
10
6 116 "Look again carefully upon the accused," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 91 The judge, on the testimony of Ibn Saran, and that of two white-skinned, female slaves, one named Zaya, a red-haired girl, the other a dark-haired girl, whose name was Vella, had sentenced me as a criminal, a would-be assassin, to the secret brine pits of Klima, deep in the dune country, there to di...
Details
10
7 152 Among them, imperious, I heard the voice of Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 156 Ibn Saran, himself, in black cloak, and white kaffiyeh with black cording, emerged through the threshold.
Details
10
7 168 Ibn Saran smiled.
Details
10
7 174 "I was warned of this," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 176 "Smell it?" said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 178 "Block the door!" said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 180 "Do not fear, my fellows," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 189 "Upon my signal," said Ibn Saran, speaking in swift Gorean, "attacking in a line, slash every inch of this room.
Details
10
7 193 Ibn Saran, scimitar poised, smiled.
Details
10
7 200 Ibn Saran stood in the threshold of the cell.
Details
10
7 206 "It will be most dangerous," said Ibn Saran, "to enter the cell.
Details
10
7 209 "It would tear the bars from the window and escape," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 212 I found it of interest that Ibn Saran did.
Details
10
7 219 "I will first enter the cell," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 221 There seemed nothing soft or languid about Ibn Saran now.
Details
10
7 224 I further decided that Ibn Saran was a brave man.
Details
10
7 228 The door to the cell, however, by Ibn Saran, was.
Details
10
7 230 "This is madness!" "It is gone," I told Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 231 Ibn Saran smiled.
Details
10
7 243 Suddenly one of the men of Ibn Saran screamed horribly.
Details
10
7 250 "Do not break your position," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 252 "Hold position!" said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 256 "Hold position!" cried Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 261 Ibn Saran himself, a brave man, blocked the open door to the cell.
Details
10
7 263 "Ho!" Across the floor, now wet with blood, and blood-soaked straw, the men, in their line, Ibn Saran remaining at the door, charged.
Details
10
7 269 In that moment, Ibn Saran, at the door, thrust out, wickedly, deeply.
Details
10
7 271 "We have it!" cried Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 273 "There!" cried Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 276 "Attack at the blood!" cried Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 283 "To the window!" cried Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 289 But the ruse had drawn Ibn Saran from the door.
Details
10
7 290 Ibn Saran spun from the wall, his blade battered, nicked and dull, from pounding on the stone.
Details
10
7 294 * * * * "We have killed it," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 298 Once, by Ibn Saran, it had been wounded to a depth of some six inches.
Details
10
7 301 "We have disposed of the body," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 313 Often I had to force from my mind the look on the face of the second slave, she called Vella, of triumph, as she, small and lovely, luscious, freed of the rack ropes, had sat up on the knotted ropes, after her testimony had confirmed that of others, of Zaya, the other girl, and Ibn Saran, sending me...
Details
10
7 320 They would wait there, thusly secured, slaves, until the court had finished its business, after which they would be returned to the custody of their master, Ibn Saran, or his factors or agents.
Details
10
7 324 With Ibn Saran were four men.
Details
10
7 326 "Do you understand what it is," asked Ibn Saran, "to be sent to Klima—to be a salt slave?" "I think so," I told him.
Details
10
7 363 "She has a very lively body, hasn't she?" asked Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 381 "Torture was not required," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 405 "But are these reports true," I asked, "or only, sincerely, believed to be true?" "They could, of course, be implanted memories," admitted Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 428 "The message collar," said Ibn Saran, "failed to bring about your death, the termination of your quest for the last egg of Priest-Kings".
Details
10
7 441 "Completely," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 446 Ibn Saran nodded.
Details
10
7 448 "So, too, did Zaya," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 450 "Neither needed urging," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 453 "Such make the best slaves," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 456 "She hates you," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 463 "A woman's vengeance is not a light thing," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 465 "But one thing troubled her," said Ibn Saran, "a matter in which, fearing for herself, she was apprehensive".
Details
10
7 474 "Of course not," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 481 "She is an excellent little slave," said Ibn Saran, "and most pleasing on the cushions".
Details
10
7 483 "Was she pleasing as a free woman?" asked Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 537 "Do you think," asked Ibn Saran, "that they can look at a woman and tell which are rightful, natural slaves?" "Some may wear their need for slavery more obviously than others," I said.
Details
10
7 539 "I see," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 545 "Are you pleased with the women of Earth?" asked Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 551 "It is interesting to note how vital and hot Earth women are, once collared," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 556 "In any event," said Ibn Saran, "I think you would find your little Vella is now much changed.
Details
10
7 571 What Ibn Saran had said was doubtless true.
Details
10
7 577 "And so, too, are we," laughed Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 597 "Think of her writhing and crying out in my arms, she my slave, perhaps permitted that pleasure, responding obediently, helplessly, to me, her master, Ibn Saran, your victorious enemy".
Details
10
7 612 "Think often of her," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 618 Ibn Saran smiled.
Details
10
7 630 If I had been Ibn Saran I would not have taken this risk.
Details
10
7 632 "Tal, noble Ibn Saran," said I, "and gracious Hamid, lieutenant to Shakar, captain of the Aretai".
Details
10
7 633 In Ibn Saran's hand was his scimitar, unsheathed.
Details
10
7 640 "You mistake us," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 645 "You are perceptive," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 648 Ibn Saran inclined his head.
Details
10
7 653 "He was outside," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 660 "Precisely," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 666 "Precisely," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 670 "Someone will hear!" said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 675 "Open the collar," said Ibn Saran, angrily.
Details
10
7 678 Ibn Saran's eyes flashed.
Details
10
7 681 Ibn Saran inclined his head.
Details
10
7 683 "The guard was bribed," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 702 "The scimitar, at the saddle," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 716 Be more careful," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 727 "What are you doing?" asked Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 733 Ibn Saran would not have cared to risk giving me an Ahn's start on a fast kaiila.
Details
10
7 735 It suddenly occurred to me that perhaps Ibn Saran, as he proclaimed, was indeed an agent for Priest-Kings.
Details
10
7 739 "May your water bags be never empty," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 746 "Ride north," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
7 748 As soon as I was out of earshot of Ibn Saran and Hamid, and among the walls of the oasis buildings, I reined in.
Details
10
7 763 Two men rode by, Ibn Saran and Hamid.
Details
10
11 429 Ibn Saran had told me the beast had been slain.
Details
10
13 472 "I herewith," said Ibn Saran, "sentence you to the brine pits of Klima".
Details
10
13 474 "Tafa, Riza," said Ibn Saran, to two of the girls, "strip".
Details
10
13 476 "You will be taken below, to the dungeons," said Ibn Saran to us.
Details
10
13 479 "Ibn Saran is generous," I said.
Details
10
13 487 "Regard Tafa, Tarl Cabot," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
13 491 We were turned about and taken from the audience hall of the Guard of the Dunes, Abdul, the Salt Ubar, he who was Ibn Saran.
Details
10
14 94 Tafa, no longer under the eye of her master, the feared Ibn Saran, had a slave girl's pride.
Details
10
14 95 She was, after all, a lock-collar girl, who had been once free, who was beautiful, who had, at Two Scimitars, brought a high price, a price doubtless improved upon, if only slightly, by the agents of Ibn Saran, when they had bought her for their master.
Details
10
14 176 "You rise early, noble Ibn Saran," said I.
Details
10
14 208 Ibn Saran had turned his kaiila toward Hassan.
Details
10
14 212 It had puzzled me that Ibn Saran had spoken thusly to Hassan, a bandit.
Details
10
14 213 Then Ibn Saran turned his kaiila again, and prepared to depart the chain.
Details
10
14 214 "Ibn Saran," I said.
Details
10
14 239 "Many men will die," cried Hassan, "both Kavars and Aretai, and of the vassal tribes! It must be stopped! They must be warned!" "It is necessary," said Ibn Saran to him.
Details
10
14 244 "One gains a victory," said Ibn Saran, "but one loses an enemy".
Details
10
14 291 "She is the girl-property of Ibn Saran".
Details
10
14 354 "I thought she stood high with Ibn Saran," I said.
Details
10
14 356 "Perhaps she will attempt to undermine the slave master with Ibn Saran," I said, "in the wheedlings of the couch.
Details
10
14 358 "Ibn Saran is no fool," he said.
Details
10
14 361 "It is Ibn Saran," he said, "who has put her in the keeping of the slave master, and has instructed him to leave her in no doubt that she is naught but a slave".
Details
10
14 382 Too, had not Ibn Saran said that she had her own quarters? More common slaves, but slaves higher than those kept in the lower depths of the kasbah, are usually kept in the general slave quarters, and are often entered into their alcoves, which are reached through the walls of the slave quarters.
Details
10
14 395 Even a high slave, like Ibn Saran's Vella, would not own the silks with which she might be commanded to adorn herself.
Details
10
14 402 What she had failed to do at Nine Wells, her master, Ibn Saran, silken, pantherlike and lithe, had well accomplished.
Details
10
14 410 Perhaps she might hope that Ibn Saran might recollect her in the evening, and summon her to his cushions.
Details
10
19 88 Furthermore, between Klima and Red Rock lay the regions patrolled by the men of Abdul, the Salt Ubar, who had been known to me as Ibn Saran.
Details
10
20 114 It was surprised by Ibn Saran and his men.
Details
10
20 117 Ibn Saran told me the beast had been killed.
Details
10
21 302 Even Ibn Saran, with all his brilliance, did not, I supposed, conjecture his role as dupe in this plan, precipitating tribal warfare, thus effectively, for almost all practical purposes, closing the desert to intruders, strangers, agents either of Priest-Kings or even of alternative Kur parties.
Details
10
22 8 As I had surmised, there was contact between the ship and the nearest agents of Kurii, the men of Abdul, Ibn Saran, the Salt Ubar.
Details
10
22 66 They were truly agents of Kurii, minions of Ibn Saran, Abdul, the Salt Ubar.
Details
10
24 2 That Ibn Saran met us at all, with the twenty-five hundred mercenaries he could muster does him much credit.
Details
10
24 7 There was hard fighting, however, in the vicinity of Ibn Saran's own men, those of the Salt Ubar and his allies, those who had fought with Tarna.
Details
10
24 8 I came once within one hundred and fifty yards of Ibn Saran; Hassan, or Haroun, high Pasha of the Kavars, came within twenty yards of him, fighting like a wild animal, but was turned back at last by a wall of bucklers, a hedge of lances.
Details
10
24 10 I did see her men, but they fought under Ibn Saran.
Details
10
24 12 Late in the afternoon, Ibn Saran, with four hundred riders, broke through our lines and fled northwest.
Details
10
24 22 "Ibn Saran," I said, "may slip through your fingers".
Details
10
24 72 I had little doubt that she would be much envied by the other girls, being apparently the favorite of the kasbah's master, the noble Ibn Saran.
Details
10
24 85 I wondered if she entertained Ibn Saran, upon occasion, on the broad, lovely surface.
Details
10
24 92 Ibn Saran was the sort of man to whom a woman could do little other than crawl.
Details
10
24 99 Emptied of information she had been brought by Ibn Saran to the Tahari.
Details
10
24 154 I had found it in the kitchens of Ibn Saran.
Details
10
24 270 But I had gathered from Ibn Saran that Vella, with perhaps a minimum of handling, could be made to writhe obediently, helplessly, whatever might be her personal feelings, will or desires in the matter.
Details
10
24 279 "I identified you for Ibn Saran," she said.
Details
10
24 389 I suspected that, following the defeat in the desert, the discipline amongst the men of Ibn Saran may have lessened somewhat.
Details
10
24 508 "Ibn Saran," she said, "the master of the very kasbah itself, the Salt Ubar, the Guard of the Dunes, is my master!" "No," I said.
Details
10
24 524 Ibn Saran, as I recalled, had informed me that Vella had changed, that she had, I gathered, come to some deeper understanding of her needs, her desires, herself.
Details
10
24 526 Indeed, my judicious, relentless tormenting of her, the cruelty of my questioning, had done much to confirm not only the words of Ibn Saran, but my own conjectures.
Details
10
24 529 But from Ibn Saran I had learned she had, her brittle defenses overridden and crushed, learned that, instead, on Earth, she had been a slave who, merely, had not yet been placed in bondage.
Details
10
24 550 "My master, Ibn Saran, will not be pleased," she said.
Details
10
24 551 "Ibn Saran is not your master," I said.
Details
10
24 582 "Ibn Saran does not wish his men to slip away, into the desert," I said, "so it may behoove him to be more generous with choice cutlets of the kasbah's best slave meat".
Details
10
24 621 Its occupants were doubtless in service elsewhere in the kasbah, hoping now to please ruder men than Ibn Saran and his high officers.
Details
10
25 1 The Second Kasbah Falls; What Was Done to Tarna "Where is Ibn Saran!" demanded Haroun, in the flowing white of the high Pasha of the Kavars.
Details
10
25 14 Ibn Saran was clearly not among them.
Details
10
25 16 Ibn Saran was not among them either.
Details
10
25 17 Ibn Saran was not the only man missing.
Details
10
25 18 I did not detect, among the prisoners or the fallen, the small Abdul, the water carrier and henchman of the great Abdul, Ibn Saran, the Salt Ubar, nor Hamid, traitor to the Aretai, who had struck Suleiman Pasha.
Details
10
25 20 "Let us assume, Pasha," said I to Hassan, "that Ibn Saran entered this kasbah".
Details
10
25 23 "These seem reasonable assumptions," said Haroun, "but how is it possible they can all be true and yet Ibn Saran neither fallen nor in chains?" "There is another kasbah nearby, that of his confederate, Tarna," I said.
Details
10
25 30 "Ibn Saran," said a man, "is doubtless in the kasbah of Tarna".
Details
10
25 32 "Thus," cried another, "Ibn Saran has slipped through our lines.
Details
10
25 58 * * * * It was on the height of the highest tower of the kasbah of Tarna that Hassan, I close behind him, cornered Ibn Saran.
Details
10
25 59 "Comrades!" said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
25 66 "You fight well," said Ibn Saran.
Details
10
25 70 "Yes," said Ibn Saran, "that was years ago".
Details
10
25 71 Ibn Saran lifted his scimitar to me in salute.
Details
10
25 74 Ibn Saran inclined his head to me, in Taharic courtesy.
Details
10
25 133 "There were none there but Aretai, Ibn Saran, Hakim of Tor and—" Shakar stopped.
Details
10
