Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
19	102	But this time the gesture was less grand; it seemed a bit hysterical; it seemed pathetic.	10
19	112	But in that instant he seemed to be concealed in a bluish haze, and then, suddenly, to the horror of all, he seemed, like a living bomb, to explode with fire.	10
19	167	Seeing her and the fear for me in her eyes, I seemed to gain redoubled strength, and for the first time it seemed to me that Pa-Kur was not meeting my attack as surely as he had previously.	10
1	50	Something in the darkness, to the left, lying on the ground, seemed to be glowing.	9
1	54	I touched it; it seemed to be hot.	9
1	70	It seemed to be cooler now, though I still had the distinct impression of warmth.	9
1	85	Also, the envelope no longer seemed warm to the touch.	9
1	94	Seventeenth century perhaps? The lettering itself seemed to be inset in the envelope, bonded in its metallic structure.	9
1	98	Light as the envelope seemed to be, it resisted the point as if I were trying to open an anvil.	9
1	102	There was a small circle on the back of the envelope, and in the circle seemed to be the print of a thumb.	9
1	106	It, too, like the lettering, seemed a part of the metal, yet its ridges and lineaments were exceedingly delicate.	9
1	136	It seemed my vision reeled; I couldn't move.	9
1	149	It seemed clear to me that I was not insane, or if I was, that insanity was a state of mental clarity and comprehension quite apart from the torment that I had conceived it to be.	9
1	153	It would be mad, scrambling about in the darkness, but there seemed to be nothing else that would serve.	9
1	173	I had made my way perilously through the darkness for perhaps twenty minutes when, to my horror, my knapsack and bedroll seemed to burst into blue flame on my back.	9
1	174	It was an instant's action to hurl them from me, and I gazed, bewildered, awe-stricken, at what seemed to be a furious blue combustion that lit the pines on all sides as if with acetylene flames.	9
1	182	It seemed to have been totally consumed.	9
2	4	I seemed to be lying on some hard, flat object, perhaps a table, in a circular room with a low ceiling some seven feet high.	9
2	21	It seemed perhaps a fraction larger, but it was difficult to be sure.	9
2	74	He looked at me with sadness in his eyes, and his rather stern features seemed for a moment to be tender.	9
2	103	"You may have her this evening if you wish," said my father, who had scarcely seemed to notice the girl.	9
2	124	My father had risen to his feet and had begun to pace the room, and his eyes seemed strangely alive.	9
2	142	His eyes seemed moist.	9
2	149	My father faced me, and he seemed troubled, as if he might have said more than he intended.	9
2	170	His supposition seemed plausible to me, for from the very beginning I had understood that in something or someone existed a force and clarity of understanding beside which the customary habits of rationality as I knew them were little more than the tropisms of the unicellular animal.	9
2	175	My father's eyes seemed faraway, as if focused on sights he might have preferred to forget.	9
2	192	My father then explained to me something of the legends of the Priest-Kings, and I gathered that they seemed to be true to this degree at least—that the Priest-Kings could destroy or control whatever they wished, that they were, in effect, the divinities of this world.	9
2	193	It was supposed that they were aware of all that transpired on their planet, but, if so, I was informed that they seemed, on the whole, to take little note of it.	9
2	196	This conjecture, the seeking of holiness, however, seemed to me to fit not well with the sickening fate apparently awaiting those who attempted the mountains.	9
2	231	Perhaps it had once been a satellite of Alpha Centauri, but, even so, the distances still seemed almost unimaginable.	9
3	12	His personal belongings, which seemed to be negligible, were stuffed into the meanest of the scroll racks.	9
3	16	It seemed that Torm was always cold or, at best, never quite warm enough.	9
3	99	My father's eyes were hard and seemed fixed in thought.	9
3	119	I had little time for speculation, however, as I was trying to bear up under an arduous schedule which seemed designed to force me to become a Gorean in a matter of weeks or perhaps see me die in the attempt.	9
3	130	Certain other expressions seemed clearly to be of Greek or German origin.	9
3	154	If it was in my power, I resolved to do what I could to abolish what seemed to me a degrading condition.	9
3	169	The spear seemed light to me because of the gravity, and I soon developed a dexterity in casting it with considerable force and accuracy.	9
3	226	A billion tiny yellow stars, like pieces of fiery needles, seemed to explode in my hand.	9
4	10	The giant bird seemed almost to shudder in the air, and then he reeled, losing altitude, gaining it again.	9
4	37	The hills and plains of Gor were a blaze of colors far below me, and it may have been my imagination, but it seemed almost as if I could see the curve of the world.	9
4	42	The Older Tarl, who seemed pleased, drew near.	9
4	52	That they had not been seemed astounding to me.	9
4	54	"Har-ta! Har-ta! Faster! Faster!" The great bird seemed to sense what I intended, or perhaps it was merely his sudden realization that the other tarn was in the lead, but a remarkable transformation swept over my sable, plumed steed.	9
4	55	His neck straightened and his wings suddenly cracked like whips in the sky; his eyes became fiery and his every bone and muscle seemed to leap with power.	9
4	141	On the other hand, I objected to the Initiates being in the place of honor, as it seemed to me that they, even more than the Warriors, were nonproductive members of society.	9
5	20	Indeed, it seemed their confidence had been well placed, for now Ar, instead of being a single beleaguered city like so many others on Gor, was a central city in which were kept the Home Stones of a dozen hitherto free cities.	9
6	11	"May the Priest-Kings blast your bones," I shouted, as cheerfully as I could, adding, for good measure, "and may you thrive upon the excrement of tharlarions!" The latter recommendation, with its allusion to the loathed riding lizards used by many of the primitive clans of Gor, seemed to please him.	9
6	21	It seemed to be translucently lit from beneath—a bluish color.	9
6	50	The girl was whimpering in terror, and her muscles and fingers seemed frozen.	9
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 ...	9
6	95	The insect seemed relieved.	9
6	119	Her chances of survival seemed now more slim than if I had cut the ladder over the cylinders of Ar when she hung helplessly in my power, the treacherous daughter of the Ubar Marlenus.	9
6	171	She seemed to have no fear of Nar, perhaps because of the familiarity of the citizens of Ar with the Spider People, but it was obvious she loathed the touch of his mandibles, and she shivered slightly as she tried to wipe the exudate from the sleeves of her gown.	9
6	186	Indeed, her body seemed somehow to be out of proportion.	9
7	27	The Ubar's daughter tried to stand up, but, ridiculously enough, it seemed as if one leg were suddenly far shorter than the other.	9
7	64	To that small particle of respect it seemed I had a right.	9
7	65	Suddenly she seemed strangely docile.	9
7	72	"I know what you are waiting for," said the daughter of the Ubar, strangely calm after her earlier fury—unnaturally calm, it seemed to me.	9
7	121	In what seemed like hours but must have been a matter of only a few seconds, it gave, leaping upward out of the mud.	9
7	135	This seemed to please her.	9
7	221	He looked at the signet on the dagger hilt and seemed pleased.	9
8	16	She seemed unable to speak.	9
8	28	Talena seemed startled that I had asked for her freedom.	9
8	106	She seemed flattered, then bent to the task of poking about in that pile of heavy, filthy garments.	9
8	110	Surprisingly, she no longer seemed as concerned about her modesty.	9
8	117	It seemed so unlike Talena to express any consideration.	9
8	134	I then wondered if that might be due to the influence of my father, whose Earth ways sometimes seemed at variance with the rude customs of Gor.	9
8	170	For the first time since she had learned of the fall of Marlenus, the daughter of the Ubar seemed stunned.	9
9	5	Talena seemed to be animated, as if excited beyond comprehension at her escape from the seclusion of the Walled Gardens and the role of the Ubar's daughter.	9
9	24	Indeed, some such account seemed to be in order.	9
9	29	I allowed Talena to bathe first, which seemed to surprise her.	9
9	51	It seemed we had little to fear, and we had passed several of the pasang stones that line the side of the highway without seeing anything more threatening than a line of peasants carrying brushwood on their backs, and a pair of hurrying Initiates.	9
9	119	It was a Gorean proverb, which seemed to be singularly inappropriate, coming from a hooded captive.	9
9	155	He seemed to fight with new fury, perhaps enraged that he had been offered quarter.	9
10	42	Mintar seemed satisfied.	9
10	47	Mintar relaxed on the cushions and seemed pleased.	9
10	59	He seemed less pleased.	9
10	76	Mintar seemed amused.	9
10	107	It seemed the routine of the journey would never end, and I grew enamored of the long line of wagons, each filled with its various goods, those mysterious metals and gems, rolls of cloth, foodstuffs, wines and paga, weapons and harness, cosmetics and perfumes, medicines and slaves.	9
10	117	However, their metabolism was slower than that of a tarn, whose mind never seemed far from food and, if it was available, could consume half its weight in a single day.	9
10	135	This seemed to me the most appropriate way to diminish any possible suspicion as to her true identity.	9
11	27	The venture might be risky, particularly if I had to steal the tarn and elude pursuit, but, all things considered, an escape on tarnback seemed to me far safer than trying to cross the Vosk and make our way on foot or tharlarion through the hills and wilderness to the distant cylinders of Ko-ro-ba.	9
11	28	Talena seemed depressed, in odd contrast to her liveliness of the caravan days.	9
11	52	She seemed to be pleased when her friends were bought by handsome tarnsmen, and laughed delightedly when one girl, to whom she had taken a dislike, was purchased by a fat, odious fellow, of the Caste of Tarn Keepers.	9
11	53	To my surprise, most of the girls seemed excited by their sale and displayed their charms with brazen gusto, each seeming to compete with the one before to bring a higher price.	9
11	88	She seemed to hesitate for an instant, then quickly gathered up the slave whip and a leading chain.	9
12	97	He was fleeing! I twisted about in his claws, and my heart seemed to jerk spasmodically in my breast.	9
12	104	Falling, I twisted madly, unsupported in the air, a wordless cry of anguish in my throat, and watched in horror as the ground seemed to rush upward to meet me.	9
13	21	Even the tarn seemed to shiver in its flight.	9
13	29	I thought perhaps he had heard the tarn, but he seemed to show no awareness of us.	9
13	64	The figure seemed to shrink backward and grow smaller in its yellow rags.	9
13	84	The man seemed to cringe even more.	9
13	116	The man, who seemed to leap into gigantic stature as he lifted himself into full height, took from under his yellow robes a tarn whistle and blew a long, shrill note.	9
14	60	"But," went on Marlenus, "if what you say is true, how shall we separate the right dreams from the wrong dreams?" It seemed to me a difficult question.	9
14	136	The sudden wrenching pain seemed to rip my body.	9
15	34	I noted one thing that seemed puzzling for a moment.	9
15	38	Still, it seemed that he had committed an error, if only according to the manuals of siege practice.	9
15	71	For what seemed an interminable hour, I waited in the dark interior of the tent.	9
15	114	Hitherto I had worn the ring almost arrogantly, but now it seemed to me that discretion, to alter a saying, was the better part of pride.	9
15	240	Marlenus seemed momentarily puzzled.	9
15	247	Mintar looked up, and he, too, seemed pleased.	9
15	265	Then he seemed somewhat embarrassed.	9
16	2	We turned over a number of plans, none of which seemed likely to succeed.	9
16	5	It seemed unlikely that Pa-Kur would be so politically naive as to use the girl before she had publicly accepted him as her Free Companion, according to the rites of Ar.	9
16	19	The human resources on which Pa-Kur could draw seemed inexhaustible, and, as important, he had at his command a considerable force of tharlarion cavalry, an arm almost lacking to the men of Ar.	9
16	46	It seemed probable that food and water would soon be scarce in the city and that the Initiates, whose resistance had been unimaginative and who were apparently unable to protect the city, would be forced to face a hungry and desperate population.	9
16	50	Marlenus and several men had entered the city, it seemed, but had been discovered—and sealed off in the very cylinder of the Home Stones—indeed, in that cylinder that had been his palace in the days of his glory.	9
16	75	"How long will it last," I queried, "with Pa-Kur on the throne of Ar?" Kazrak seemed suddenly to darken with thought.	9
16	139	Something seemed to tell me to be careful.	9
16	141	Something seemed to be wrong.	9
18	10	I had puzzled on this for days, yet now it seemed obvious.	9
18	68	In what seemed like an hour, but must have been no more than three or four minutes, I was behind the camp of Pa-Kur and searching for the dreaded Dar-Kosis Pits, those prisons in which the Afflicted may freely incarcerate themselves and be fed, but from which they are not allowed to depart.	9
18	92	I widened my search, wandering about the walls, but they seemed sheer, impenetrable.	9
18	93	There seemed to be no place in which a lever or handle might be concealed.	9
18	134	I struck at him with the tarn-goad, but the instrument seemed to have no effect.	9
18	140	The other tarns, poking out of the tarn cot, seemed to hesitate and then to notice the open door into the cylinder.	9
18	172	I seemed to be beside myself and fought as if I might not be what I knew I was, what I thought myself to be—Tarl Cabot, a simple warrior, one man.	9
19	31	It seemed that the conditions of surrender meant little to the horde and that it was determined to enter the city, now and in the full panoply of war.	9
19	87	Pa-Kur himself seemed awed.	9
19	129	He tested me again and seemed satisfied.	9
19	135	He seemed complacent.	9
19	163	For each enemy who fell, it seemed three sprang up to take his place.	9

Book 2. (107 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
22	141	I recalled that she had said something of a rug and cords in the council chamber of Tharna, when she had seemed consumed with rage, when it seemed she wanted to lash the flesh from my bones.	10
1	5	He was quiet and pleasant, though sometimes he seemed remote, or lonely, somehow unwilling to break through that protective shield of formality behind which the educated Englishman, at heart perhaps as sentimental and hot-blooded as any man, attempts to conceal his feelings.	9
1	11	All in all, Tarl Cabot seemed to us a young, quiet, courteous Oxford gentleman, except for that hair.	9
1	39	What happened next seemed almost too unbelievable to comprehend.	9
1	61	I seemed to answer a desperate need for human fellowship in that lonely man, and, for my part, I was more than happy to count myself his friend, unfortunately perhaps, his only friend.	9
1	71	He seemed to be morose, moody.	9
1	102	He seemed tall, strange, almost of another world in that subdued light, in that quiet atmosphere of small, genial civilized noises.	9
1	109	Cabot towering over him seemed not to comprehend.	9
1	120	My touch seemed to snap him out of his strange mood.	9
1	172	I had meant something to him, and he to me, and now as simply as this it seemed that friends might part forever, never to see or talk to one another again.	9
2	8	The sun, as I remembered it, seemed a bit larger than it did when viewed from the earth, but as before it was difficult to be altogether sure of this.	9
3	95	The low-slung, broad frame seemed to stiffen.	9
3	96	The muscles in his legs seemed suddenly to bulge like cable.	9
3	97	The rapport I had felt with him seemed suddenly gone, like a sparrow flown or a leaf suddenly torn from a branch.	9
3	103	The squat, misformed giant of a man seemed almost to recoil as if struck, and to tremble.	9
3	105	Zosk, I felt, would have faced a larl armed only with his ax, but yet, here, he seemed frightened.	9
3	114	With the ax in his hands, suddenly he seemed to remember his caste, and he crouched in the road, there in the dusk, a few feet from me, like a gorilla clutching the broad-headed ax, breathing deeply, sucking in the air, mastering his fear.	9
3	129	It seemed light in his massive grip.	9
4	47	By now it seemed to me that I should be able to see the lights of the cylinder city of Ko-ro-ba.	9
4	69	For an instant it seemed to stand like a gigantic crooked spear poised in my path, luminous, uncanny, forbidding, then vanished.	9
4	74	I raised my eyes to the storm, and my spear and shield, and shouted into the storm, my voice drowned in the turbulence of nature, a defiant puff of wind hurled against the forces that seemed arrayed against me.	9
4	94	"Did you, Oh Dark Brother of the Night, think to keep me from Ko-ro-ba?" How absurd it seemed to me that a mere sleen should have stood between me and my city.	9
5	23	Somehow this man seemed different to me from the other Initiates I had met on Gor.	9
5	24	I could not place the difference, yet it seemed there was something in him or about him that set him apart from the other members of his caste.	9
5	73	Somehow the power I had felt in his presence seemed to have vanished.	9
5	75	He seemed to be struggling with himself, as though he wanted to speak his own words and not those of the Priest-Kings.	9
5	76	He seemed to shake with pain, his hands pressed against his head, trying to speak to me, trying to tell me something.	9
5	79	He seemed ready to fall, and I held him.	9
5	95	His eyes seemed to begin to burn in his head.	9
5	98	It seemed as though the entire inside of his head began to burst and burn, to bubble like some horrid viscous lava inside the crater of his skull.	9
6	139	She seemed to take no great interest in me, or her fate.	9
6	147	Her hair was brown and fine, the splendid gray eyes seemed even more clear, and her face, I saw, was beautiful, even more beautiful than I had imagined.	9
6	164	For the first time, she seemed startled.	9
6	191	Her legs seemed to quiver under her.	9
7	80	It seemed a long time.	9
8	6	On the whole they seemed to me a pale and depressed lot, but I was confident they could accomplish what they set their minds to, that they might succeed in tasks which the average Gorean male, with his impatience and lightness of heart, would simply abandon as distasteful or not worth the effort, fo...	9
8	33	Even the bargaining that went on, for there are no fixed prices in a Gorean market, seemed dreary, grim, lacking the zest and rivalry of other markets I had seen, the glorious expletives and superlative insults traded between buyer and seller with such incomparable style and gusto.	9
8	58	Moreover, in contrast to most cities, the cylinders of Tharna seemed excessively solemn, as if overcome by their own weight.	9
8	60	Even the horizontal plains about Tharna, marked by their occasional outcroppings of weathered boulders, seemed to be gray, rather cold and gloomy, perhaps sad.	9
8	124	The wind, which I had not noticed before, now seemed cold.	9
9	20	They seemed to reach some agreement.	9
9	77	There seemed to be no warriors in the room.	9
9	79	I must have seemed strange to them, a scarlet-clad warrior, bearing weapons, suddenly entering, a man from another city unexpectedly in their midst.	9
9	90	They seemed to me to be without energy, without pride, to be flat, dry, crushed men, men without self-respect.	9
9	133	The proprietor seemed stunned.	9
9	135	The men of Tharna seemed horrified.	9
9	158	"He's the one," said another voice, one I seemed to remember.	9
10	49	My vision seemed ringed with gold and purple specks.	9
10	62	It was a giant urt, fat, sleek and white; it bared its three rows of needlelike white teeth at me and squealed in anger; two horns, tusks like flat crescents curved from its jaw; another two horns, similar to the first, modifications of the bony tissue forming the upper ridge of the eye socket, prot...	9
11	11	The interior of the palace seemed to me to be deserted.	9
11	23	There seemed to be something familiar about him.	9
11	61	I thought that the woman in the silver mask, who had been spoken of as Second in Tharna, seemed to stiffen with apprehension at this revelation.	9
11	99	She seemed to be watching me.	9
11	172	But instead of answering, Dorna the Proud seemed strangely silent.	9
11	209	Terror, like a trapped cat, seemed to scratch behind his eyes, and he began to shake in his yoke like a diseased animal.	9
12	61	Suddenly it seemed I no longer felt the weight of the yoke.	9
13	28	It seemed that all the glorious colors of Gor which had been denied the buildings of Tharna were lavished on this place of its amusements.	9
13	32	Some seemed to be conversing among themselves, perhaps laying wagers of one sort or another, but most sat still on the stone benches, glum and silent in their gray robes, their thoughts not easily read.	9
13	35	All eyes seemed turned to one section of the stands, that before which we knelt, a section that gleamed with gold.	9
13	71	Soon the stands themselves seemed to ring with the cry.	9
13	95	Then it seemed as though what I had said struck, deep within him, some responsive chord.	9
13	141	Those who wore the silver masks had risen to their feet, and the force of their cries pressed in on me like knives, the air itself seemed filled with the bedlam of their command, "Slay him!" I turned and walked slowly to the center of the arena.	9
13	147	The shrill rage of these masked creatures seemed to know no bounds, to verge on hysteria, on madness.	9
14	4	The crowd seemed eager to observe what would happen next.	9
14	61	It seemed uncertain.	9
14	94	Its black crest, now unconfined by the hood, sprang erect with a sound like fire, and the wind seemed to lift and preen each feather.	9
14	147	It seemed the metal would tear the flesh from my hands, break the bones of my fingers.	9
14	150	The spearmen seemed frozen, and dropped back, as if the great bird could have freely attacked them.	9
14	169	He seemed to resent the goad, to fight it, to behave erratically when it was used; when struck with it he might even slow his flight, or deliberately disobey the commands of the tarn straps.	9
14	199	Its talons, shod with steel, dropped like great hooks; it seemed to tremble almost motionless in the air; and then its wings, parallel, lifted, almost enfolding me, and were still.	9
14	203	The stands of the arena, filled with its robes and masks, seemed to fly upward.	9
15	56	The bird seemed puzzled.	9
15	62	The bird seemed to hesitate, and then, with a motion almost tender, it thrust its beak against my body.	9
15	90	What more could I tell her? That it had not killed me, knowing the nature of tarns, seemed almost as incredible to me as it did to her.	9
15	144	She seemed shaken by this matter of fact answer.	9
15	156	The Tatrix seemed stunned.	9
15	208	"Free all those used in the Amusements of Tharna!" The Tatrix seemed taken aback.	9
15	245	I thought she seemed a lonely figure, rather forlorn and sad.	9
15	259	There seemed to be an emotion in her voice that I could not understand.	9
16	7	It seemed bare.	9
16	18	The bird seemed not to understand.	9
16	20	For some reason the bird seemed unwilling to land.	9
16	24	The tarn seemed nervous.	9
16	77	It seemed, more than ever before, to possess a ferocity, to be hideous, molten.	9
17	33	I smiled, wondering why it was that I, and my fellow prisoners, seemed so determined to live.	9
18	89	He seemed to injure his foot with the pick, and he pleaded so earnestly with the Whip Slave that the fellow removed him from the chain and, putting a collar on his throat, led him limping away.	9
18	111	Then it seemed that Andreas and the slave grew beneath my feet.	9
18	151	The stream of water now seemed to press us down, to impede our progress.	9
19	96	And it seemed strange to me that this rebellion, this willingness to pursue the right as they saw it, independently of the will of the Priest-Kings, had come not first from the proud Warriors of Gor, nor the Scribes, nor the Builders nor Physicians, nor any of the high castes of the many cities of G...	9
19	105	I saw that those eyes, usually like blue steel, seemed softer than I remembered them.	9
19	120	He seemed sad, one of the few times I had seen him so.	9
20	3	Before starting for the mountains, it seemed wise to improve my equipment.	9
20	46	I wondered too at her treachery, her strange hatred of me, for somehow it seemed not to fit well with the lonely girl on the ledge, who had stood quietly gazing at the field of talenders while a warrior had gorged himself on the kill of his tarn.	9
20	89	There seemed to be a menace, an intangible fearful effect about those angular shapes in the distance.	9
20	98	It seemed the very air itself refused any longer to bear his weight.	9
21	29	Her eyes had turned to me, begging, pleading, as though I might deliver her from her predicament, but when she looked upon me, those fear-glazed eyes, if possible, seemed even more terrified.	9
21	203	Targo seemed stunned.	9
21	237	Upon reflection it seemed clear to me that the chain must, in the end, be a lonely place for a girl, filled with life, knowing that her brand has destined her for love, that each of them must long for a man to care enough for them to buy them, that each must long to follow a man home to his compartm...	9
21	241	Targo seemed relieved.	9
22	53	Her blue eyes seemed filled with wonder, and then they glistened with tears.	9
23	17	I was pleased that she seemed happy.	9
23	201	From in front of us and behind us a group of men had seemed to materialize.	9
24	152	It seemed a long walk.	9
24	159	The purplish patches that marked his yellowish face seemed less pronounced now than before.	9
24	245	The floor seemed solid, but this time I knew the dangers it concealed.	9
24	253	The silence seemed uncanny and the darkness startling after the bright sunlight of the street outside.	9
25	26	The figure seemed not to hear me.	9

Book 3. (154 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
21	48	They were shaven and clad in plastic as are all Muls of the Nest, but their torsos seemed smaller and rounder than those of a human being and their legs and arms seemed extraordinarily long for their body size and the hands and feet seemed unusually wide.	10
2	31	The blood vessels in their necks and legs and arms began to distend until I feared they might burst open through the tortured flesh; the agonized muscles of their straining knotted bodies, like swollen leather, seemed to fill with pain as if pain were a fluid; their flesh seemed to fuse with the woo...	10
14	91	Indeed, it seemed to me far more luxurious than the appointments in Misk's own chamber, which seemed utterly bare except for the feed trough and numerous compartments, dials, switches and plugs mounted in one wall.	10
27	158	Misk seemed stunned and slow, his head dropped and the antennae seemed to flutter, exposing themselves.	10
29	81	Just as the three ships burst into the open of another huge complex I caught up with them and opened fire on the third ship but my fire seemed less effective this time and though I gave it a full burst the charging of the tube seemed at last almost exhausted.	10
31	163	The bladelike figure of the Priest-King seemed to waver on the walkway and the antennae seemed blown about as though by the wind.	10
31	217	The very globe and walkway seemed to lift and tremble but neither of the creatures locked together above me seemed to take the least notice.	10
32	176	Misk seemed to straighten himself, his antennae waved about wildly, every fiber of his body seemed to shiver.	10
32	195	Over our heads it seemed suddenly that, splitting from the hole already there, the entire roof suddenly shattered apart and seemed for a moment to hang there.	10
32	274	Parp seemed more concerned with his pipe, which seemed again in danger of going out, than he did with the world that was crumbling about him.	10
2	128	It seemed possible they might not yet have discovered me.	9
3	11	The larger of them unaccountably seemed to lose interest in me.	9
3	12	He rose to his feet and sniffed the air, turning his side to me, and seemed ready to abandon any intentions of doing me harm.	9
3	22	I admired the larls, for they seemed to me intelligent beasts.	9
3	79	It seemed a strange name for a Priest-King.	9
3	81	He seemed to sense my puzzlement.	9
3	89	It seemed that my heart stopped beating.	9
3	91	I shivered, but to my surprise the man who called himself Parp clutched his pipe in a white hand and seemed to give a start of terror.	9
4	20	It seemed to take us a long time to reach the dais.	9
4	38	For an instant it seemed to point at me.	9
4	59	I began to feel all the hatred of all the years that I had nursed against the Priest-Kings now uncontrollably, slowly, violently growing in my body, wild, fierce, those foliating scarlet vines of my fury that now seemed to encircle me, to enfold me, to engulf me, swelling, steaming, now writhing afl...	9
4	75	I shook my head to drive out the scarlet stars that seemed to race before my eyes.	9
4	98	Parp seemed troubled.	9
4	99	He seemed distracted.	9
4	102	He seemed a bit nervous.	9
4	108	For some reason Parp now seemed visibly uneasy.	9
4	110	The Gorean night above, often black and beautiful with stars, now seemed to be approaching with swift stealth.	9
4	112	Parp seemed to shiver on the throne.	9
4	132	Then it seemed in the impending darkness in the Hall of Priest-Kings as he looked down on me that the pupils of his eyes for an instant glowed briefly, fiercely, like two tiny fiery disks of molten copper.	9
4	145	I followed it across the tiled circle which seemed harmless now that Parp had left.	9
4	146	Once more the distant and unseen gong rang out, and once more the Hall of Priest-Kings seemed filled with its ominous vibrations.	9
4	148	I wondered why Parp had seemed to fear the coming of night, the sound of the gong.	9
5	8	The walls were of plain dark stone with energy bulbs fixed in them; the furnishings seemed to consist mostly of two or three large chests against one wall.	9
5	18	Her full, red lips, which could have torn the heart of a man, seemed to pout; they were sensuous, unobtrusively rebellious, perhaps subtly contemptuous.	9
5	48	In her eyes there seemed to burn an irritable fury of helpless rage.	9
5	55	The sensuous lips parted slightly and I became acutely conscious of her breathing, which seemed to deepen and quicken.	9
5	58	Her eyes seemed to cloud with angry tears.	9
5	143	"Yes," she continued, "I, armed with my beauty, would come to the Sardar and wrest the riches and power of the Priest-Kings from them, for men had always sought to serve me, to give me what I wanted, and were the Priest-Kings not men?" People had strange reasons for entering the Sardar, but the reas...	9
5	147	Her lips moved, but she seemed unable to speak.	9
5	156	I had speculated that there would be a Third Knowledge, that reserved for Priest-Kings, and the girl's account seemed to justify this conjecture.	9
5	173	Perhaps Parp was the last of the Priest-Kings? Surely it seemed likely that such massive structures as the Hall of Priest-Kings must have been the product of more than one being.	9
5	210	She seemed to say to me, you cannot master me.	9
5	251	I could understand that she, a proud, intelligent girl, could not but resent the indignities of her position, being forced to serve with the full offices of the slave girl whomsoever the Priest-Kings might see fit to send to her chamber, but yet I found in these grievances, great though they might b...	9
5	267	"Very well, Master," said the girl, and the expression by which she had addressed me seemed dipped in irony.	9
6	118	She seemed confused.	9
6	131	She seemed unwilling to speak further.	9
6	137	Then came the second rumbling stroke of the distant gong, and Vika seemed to tremble in my arms.	9
7	18	Almost all of the chambers I passed, and I passed many, seemed to be empty.	9
7	72	I had walked perhaps an Ahn and was deep inside one of the long, dimly lit passageways which led in the direction of her chamber when I seemed somehow to sense a presence behind me.	9
8	152	Treve's other needs seemed to be satisfied much in the same way as her agricultural ones, for her raiders were known from the borders of the Fair of En'Kara, in the very shadow of the Sardar, to the delta of the Vosk and the islands beyond, such as Tyros and Cos.	9
8	193	And then she seemed to straighten and turned to face me, once again the old and scornful Vika, challenging, hostile.	9
8	231	Vika took another step and then it seemed her legs would fail her and she might swoon.	9
9	200	Now it seemed to me that I understood but they had come too soon! She had not had a chance to do her work.	9
9	229	I watched Vika and suddenly she seemed too to know and her head lifted and her eyes widened with horror and she crept to her knees, her hands before her face as though to shield herself and she shuddered and suddenly uttered a wild, long, terrible scream of abject fear.	9
9	239	These two appendages, like eyes, swept the room once and then seemed to focus on me.	9
9	251	The two sensory appendages of the creature seemed to register this information.	9
10	10	Oddly enough, few of the Priest-Kings whom I questioned on this matter seemed to draw the distinction clearly between hearing and smelling.	9
10	43	It moved with a certain deliberate, stalking movement; its tread was regal and yet it seemed almost dainty, almost fastidious; it was almost as if the creature did not care to soil itself by contact with the floor of the passage.	9
10	49	A panel slid back and the Priest-King stepped into what seemed to be a closed room.	9
10	51	The floor seemed to drop beneath me and my hand grasped my sword.	9
10	87	The creature seemed puzzled.	9
10	112	This seemed to me significant, far more significant than the mere fact that a Priest-King might not understand a human laugh.	9
11	2	Another Priest-King, mounted on a low, oval disk which seemed to slide up the ramp, was approaching.	9
11	10	It seemed to me much like Misk except in size.	9
11	18	Misk seemed to shrug.	9
11	67	Sarm seemed not to notice this change but Misk's antennae perked up immediately.	9
11	123	To my annoyance both of the Priest-Kings seemed immobile, leaning alertly forward into the wind, their forelegs lifted high, their antennae lying flat, streaming backwards.	9
12	28	Sarm seemed puzzled.	9
12	41	A shudder of repulsion seemed to course through Sarm.	9
12	47	Sarm, who stood in the long room on an oval dais, seemed satisfied with this transaction.	9
12	49	He pulled certain of these out from the wall and they seemed to be attached to slender cords which he passed between his antennae.	9
12	88	Neither of the two men who had entered the room had seemed to notice me.	9
12	113	They seemed splendid specimens of mankind.	9
12	137	"Yes," said Sarm, but he seemed in no hurry to conclude his gloating.	9
12	146	Sarm seemed to wait for my reply but there was none.	9
12	150	Neither Priest-King however seemed in the least disturbed by this oath which might have brought tears to the eyes of a member of the Caste of Initiates.	9
12	158	A look of puzzlement seemed to appear in the eyes of the two slaves.	9
12	167	"Why do you not," I challenged, "have your Kusk, or whoever he is, synthesize a Priest-King?" Sarm seemed to shiver with rage.	9
12	190	They seemed to know almost nothing.	9
12	192	If he was right-handed, that seemed foolish.	9
12	217	Sarm seemed puzzled.	9
12	232	The responses and behavior of the two slaves seemed to be incomprehensible.	9
13	42	Neither of my companions showed, or seemed to show, the least interest in her.	9
13	57	He seemed puzzled.	9
14	4	It seemed to be bare except that at one end there were several metal disks in the wall and, high in the wall, there was a transparent shield.	9
14	36	At last after I, sputtering and choking, had been duly cleansed and rinsed several times, and then it seemed several times again, the cage began to move slowly, mercifully, between vents from which blasts of hot air issued, and, eventually, it passed slowly between an assortment of humming projectio...	9
14	81	I was in the Nest, incidentally, for more than five weeks before I could even vaguely detect the odor difference which seemed so significant to Misk.	9
14	110	In the beginning I held out for one shower a day as quite sufficient but poor Misk seemed so upset that I agreed to up my proposal to two.	9
14	111	He would still hear nothing of this and seemed firm that I should not fall below ten.	9
14	163	Misk looked at me and his antennae had a certain lack of resilience and the golden hairs had seemed to lose some of their sheen.	9
15	3	There seemed to be very little heat from the bluish flame of the Mul-Torch but, considering the size of the flame, a surprising amount of light.	9
15	24	I wondered for a moment what was to be done but then it seemed I sensed what he wanted.	9
15	48	He seemed to be completely unconscious.	9
15	90	I puzzled on the machine in the room, the wiring that seemed to feed into the young Priest-King's body at eight points.	9
15	98	The instrumentation and the paneling of the room seemed to loom about me.	9
16	103	The torch seemed to tremble in my hand.	9
17	4	In fevered sleep it seemed I saw Sarm's great head with its powerful, laterally moving jaws hovering over me, that I heard the cry of larls and saw the burning pupils of Parp's eyes and his reaching toward me with instruments and a golden net, and I found myself chained to the foot of Vika's couch a...	9
17	41	"Tell me why you have been brought to the Nest," said Sarm, and suddenly his antennae snapped downward towards me like whips, and now rigid, they seemed to be trained on me, as though they might be weapons.	9
17	98	It was merely a scene of a road, bordered by some trees, which seemed to slowly approach the lens and then pass behind it.	9
17	141	Before my horrified eyes in the observation cube the man seemed suddenly to vaporize in a sudden blasting flash of blue fire.	9
18	4	I gathered that the Muls to whom I spoke, who seemed well enough disposed towards me, simply did not know what was meant, in spite of the fact that several of them had been bred in the Nest, in the breeding cases located in certain special vivaria set aside for the purpose.	9
19	53	His entire body seemed to tremble with rage.	9
19	61	For all practical purposes it now seemed that Priest-Kings would be invulnerable to my blade, though I supposed I might have injured them severely if I sliced at the sensory hairs on the legs, at the trunk joining thorax and abdomen, at the eyes and antennae if I could reach them.	9
20	25	"It seemed a good idea to us," said Mul-Ba-Ta.	9
20	30	Neither of the Muls spoke further but they seemed plunged into a sadness that I found in its way touching, but yet I could scarcely refrain from smiling for they looked so precisely similar.	9
20	43	"Then why have you brought me here?" "It seemed good for us to do so," said Mul-Al-Ka.	9
20	97	His companion then snapped a switch at the wall panel and the globe seemed to come alive, humming and clicking, coils suddenly glowing and tiny signal lights flashing on and off.	9
20	235	The two Muls looked at me for a long time, and at themselves, and at me again, and seemed to reach some sort of accord.	9
21	8	As far as I could tell the chamber seemed empty.	9
21	31	We listened carefully and in the distance it seemed we heard, incredibly enough, the mournful singing of human voices, as though of many men, and the sound was as we determined by listening for a minute or two gradually nearing.	9
21	49	The feet had no toes but were rather disklike, fleshy cushions on which they padded silently along, and similarly on the palms of their wide hands there seemed to be a fleshy disk, which glistened in the blue light of the Mul-Torches.	9
21	58	There seemed to be almost an indefinite number of the Muls and of clinging Priest-Kings there were perhaps a hundred.	9
22	11	My mouth seemed to be filled with carbon and I realized I must have almost bitten through the Mul-Torch.	9
22	21	The bar to which I now clung seemed relatively stable and with relief I drew myself up onto it, and then stepped carefully to the next.	9
22	67	Misk seemed to think a moment.	9
22	83	There were several of these, I noted, around the walls and they seemed obviously intended to hold Mul-Torches or some similar illuminating device.	9
22	162	I liked the blade which seemed so simple and efficient compared to the manifold variations in sword steel that were possible.	9
22	182	He seemed lost in thought.	9
23	17	She was unmoving and her eyes seemed fixed on me with all the horror of the last moment in which the jaws of the Golden Beetle must have closed upon her.	9
23	21	Her skin seemed slightly dry but not desiccated.	9
23	38	These swellings, hard, round and smooth, seemed to lie just beneath the skin and to be roughly the size of one's fist.	9
23	45	As I did so I seemed almost to hear a silent, horrible, pleading shriek but there was of course no sound.	9
23	59	I found I did not even have to stop and search for the small signs I had scratched in the walls of the passages to guide my way for as I ran it seemed I knew each bend and turn of that passageway as though it had suddenly leaped alive flaming in my memory.	9
24	4	They seemed clearly some aberrant mutation of its jaws.	9
24	8	The back itself seemed divided into two thick casings which might once, ages before, have been horny wings, but now the tissues had, at the points of touching together, fused in such a way as to form what was for all practical purposes a thick, immobile golden shell.	9
24	13	The creature seemed to be puzzled and made no move to attack.	9
24	19	It seemed clear the creature did not yet understand what had taken place within its cavern.	9
24	22	It seemed to me most unnatural, as though the creature might have been a living rock, or a blind, carnivorous growth.	9
24	26	It seemed to me that it would be very difficult to injure the Golden Beetle, particularly when its head was withdrawn beneath the shell of its enclosing wings.	9
24	33	Her body was stiff yet from the venom which had induced the paralysis, but now, perhaps because of the removal of the five eggs, it seemed somewhat warmer and more yielding than before.	9
24	58	And yet it seemed strange to me to think of the Beetle as pursuing its prey in these tunnels for hours, perhaps days.	9
24	59	It seemed foolish, unlikely, a puzzle of nature.	9
24	67	The odor seemed somewhat oppressive.	9
25	4	The Beetle wavered, its entire shell of golden, fused wings trembling, and it seemed as if those fused wings shook as though to separate and fly but they could not, and it pulled its head back under the shelter of the wings.	9
25	26	The Slime Worm lifted the forward portion of its long, tubular body and the tiny red mouth on its underside seemed to peer up at me.	9
25	28	The tiny red mouth seemed to continue to peer at me for perhaps a moment or two more and then it slowly turned away from me to the carcass of the Golden Beetle.	9
25	56	I could now feel a bit of fresh air and, in the darkness, Vika in my arms, I walked until I could feel it best, and it seemed to be blowing directly down upon me.	9
25	58	A shattering flash of energy seemed to explode in my face and burn through my body as my fingers touched the metal grille.	9
25	64	I leaped again and this time managed to fasten my fingers in the grille and cried out in pain, turning my face away from the heat and fire that seemed to transform its surface erupting over my head with torturing, savage incandescence.	9
25	68	I shut my eyes but to no avail against the burning universes that seemed to float and explode before my eyes.	9
25	86	There seemed to be but one thing to do.	9
25	122	As I gazed on this strange assemblage of creatures in the tiered cases it seemed clear to me that I must be gazing upon one of the vivaria of which I had heard Sarm speak.	9
25	174	It seemed to me incomprehensible what she had said.	9
26	11	It seemed to me I now understood her treacherous plan and something of the same bitterness with which I had earlier regarded this woman tended to fill my breast.	9
26	64	This seemed to surprise her.	9
26	133	The materials in the containers seemed fresh and of a good sort.	9
26	171	I looked about the case and it seemed that everything, considering the circumstances, was quite comfortable.	9
26	206	I could not understand why this assertion of mine should have troubled one of Vika's proud and treacherous nature but she seemed somehow more hurt than if I had administered to her when she had knelt the blows of a slave whip or the lashings of my sword belt.	9
26	215	This gesture seemed to shake Vika and her entire frame suddenly trembled with all the panic of a beautiful, trapped animal.	9
26	249	This seemed to me quite doubtful.	9
26	252	This seemed to me only a bit less doubtful.	9
26	258	I wondered at the things she said to me for they seemed strange, perhaps more so to my ears than they would have to one bred and raised from infancy as a Gorean, one as much accustomed to the submission of women as to the tides of gleaming Thassa or the phases of the three moons.	9
26	261	As I thought of our primeval ancestor standing in the mouth of his cave one hand gripping a chipped stone and perhaps the other a torch, his mate behind him and his young hidden in the mosses at the back of the cave I wondered at the genetic gifts that would ensure the survival of man in so hostile ...	9
26	262	It seemed clear that woman would, if the race were to survive, have to be sheltered and defended and fed—and forced to reproduce her kind.	9
