Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
25 806 That means nothing to me now! And let me show dear Selius Arconious what he shall not own! I hate him, the arrogant Gorean tarsk! Hurt him! Hurt Selius Arconious! Let him see what he cannot afford! I hate you, Selius Arconious! Grind your teeth, clench your fists, sweat, moan, tear your clothing, bu...

28 136 "If you will not use me," she said, angrily, "sell me to one who will! Sell me to one who is a man!" He turned then angrily, suddenly, to the slave but, at the same moment, there was a great roar splitting the silence of the camp and a dark, monstrous, violent shape leapt into the camp and Fel Doron...

27 597 Might he not pity her, if only eventually, a former woman of his world, now a slave, helpless in her collar, as it might not occur to a Gorean to do? And did she not fear Selius Arconious whom she was sure would not be slow with the whip, should she prove in the least displeasing? And did she not ha...

18 503 At least I do not belong to Selius Arconious, that supercilious, handsome, vain, arrogant beast! How I detest Selius Arconious! And yet if he were to buy me, I would be his slave, and would have to render him perfections of service.

24 656 "Suffer," she thought, "Masters!" Mirus followed her dancing, and looked carefully upon Selius Arconious, and Selius Arconious, when she danced to Mirus, had little difficulty in detecting the object of the slave's provocative, haughty glances.

18 1 Intrigue "Ellen," said Selius Arconious, chewing on a straw, leaning against the jamb of the great portal, leading to the platform outside, "remove your tunic, to the floor, slave paces".
Details
10
18 16 Selius Arconious was an assistant to the tarnmaster.
Details
10
18 61 "Ho!" said Portus Canio, turning and glaring at young Selius Arconious.
Details
10
18 62 "Are there not harnesses to repair?" "To be sure, Portus," grinned Selius.
Details
10
18 63 "You do not earn your copper tarsks by amusing yourself with slave girls!" Selius grinned.
Details
10
18 65 Ellen, lifting the basket of meat, smiled at the discomfort of young Selius.
Details
10
18 70 "It matters not," said Selius.
Details
10
18 73 Selius shrugged.
Details
10
18 75 Selius laughed.
Details
10
18 78 Selius Arconious, as we recall, at the time of his accosting a young slave, had been in the vicinity of the great portal, that leading outward to the long, curving platform, outside, ledgelike, about the cylinder or tower, with its several perches.
Details
10
18 192 She wanted to hurry back to Portus, or Selius, or one of the others, and beg use.
Details
10
18 231 He had then made her stand, and walk about, and turn, and display herself in the tunic to himself and his three men, these being Fel Doron, Tersius Major and Selius Arconious.
Details
10
18 236 "I like her better without it," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
18 268 Portus Canio had left but Selius Arconious was still standing in the vicinity of the great portal.
Details
10
18 288 Selius Arconious was regarding it, too.
Details
10
18 318 "I trust that my Master, the noble Portus Canio, your employer," said Ellen to Selius Arconious, "does not inquire of me as to your behavior, and if you have been attentive to your duties, for I, as a slave, however reluctantly, knelt down to speak the truth, would have to admit that you have been l...

10
18 319 Selius picked up a loop of harness and held it in his hands.
Details
10
18 327 She then turned away, but, after a step, stopped, looked back over her shoulder and smiled, slyly, and then, saucily, suddenly, bid Selius farewell with a toss, beneath her brief, thin tunic, of her small, well-outlined derrière.
Details
10
18 334 Let him stew, and cry out, and suffer! He cannot have me! I am not for such lowly sorts! Suffer, Selius Arconious, suffer! You cannot have me!" In the barred feeding area, the gate shut against the housing for returning tarns, Ellen put the basket of meat on the floor, and, moving about, and climbin...
Details
10
18 343 While Ellen climbed and placed the meat, she wondered what it would be like, to be owned by Selius Arconious.
Details
10
18 366 She recalled with satisfaction, with pleasure, how she had tormented Selius Arconious.
Details
10
18 505 How I hate him, that young, handsome, vain beast, Selius Arconious, he thinking he is so good-looking, so clever and mighty! How I hold him in contempt, how I detest him! And yet it is hard for me to remain standing before him! I grow weak! He makes me feel helpless! His nearness makes me feel faint...

10
18 561 At the tower, as chance would have it, though she wondered if he were waiting for her, it was Selius Arconious who opened the interior door to admit her.
Details
10
18 564 Selius Arconious took her casually, masterfully, possessively, in his arms, and she turned her head to the side, trying to turn away from him.
Details
10
18 572 Selius Arconious thrust Ellen from him, and stepped back.
Details
10
18 578 "I was hungry," said Selius Arconious, "for a snack of slave".
Details
10
18 587 "It was my fault," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
18 593 When Ellen looked up, she found herself kneeling before Selius Arconious.
Details
10
18 596 "Split your knees, more widely," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
18 599 "I must hasten to my master!" Selius indicated that she might rise, and she scrambled, angrily, to her feet.
Details
10
18 620 Let it burn—fiercely! Suffer, thinking of me! I know that you desire me, and mightily, but know that I detest you, and that you cannot have me! You will never have me! I am not yours! I belong to another!" "You can probably not even dance nude," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
18 624 After supper, while Ellen was busying herself, cleaning up, attending to the dishes, and such, she thought of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
18 665 Ellen angrily took from the heap of clothing to her right a tunic of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
18 777 As Ellen attended rather irritably to the tunic of Selius Arconious she realized, with a bit of a start, that she and the other girl, her new friend, Corinne, had been conversing in Gorean, naturally, and without thought.
Details
10
18 780 Ellen angrily soaked, and kneaded, and soaked and kneaded, the tunic of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
18 782 "There, Selius Arconious!" she thought.
Details
10
18 787 I would like to rip the garment of the brute, Selius Arconious, to pieces, but if I so much as break a thread I may be punished.
Details
10
18 792 But she resolved to be, when her master was not present, even more provocative before Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 6 "What are you talking about?" asked Selius Arconious, looking up from the repair of a saddle.
Details
10
19 7 "Is your Home Stone the Home Stone of Ar?" inquired Portus, suddenly, fiercely, of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 8 "Of course," said Selius Arconious, puzzled.
Details
10
19 16 They seek the Delta Brigade!" "There is no such thing," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 39 "Talena will address the population from the Central Cylinder," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 42 "Our Ubara," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 45 "Guardsmen, on the bridges! They may be coming here!" "Why?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 69 "The rest of you," said the officer, indicating Fel Doron, Tersius Major and Selius Arconious, "kneel.
Details
10
19 71 Fel Doron, Tersius Major, and, lastly, angrily, Selius Arconious, knelt.
Details
10
19 98 "Slut," hissed Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 107 "Slut, slut!" chided Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 151 "She is a poor piece of barbarian slave meat," said Selius Arconious, from his knees.
Details
10
19 163 "I have seen toads who are more attractive," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 164 How hateful you are, Selius Arconious, she thought.
Details
10
19 166 Take that, Selius Arconious, she thought.
Details
10
19 167 "She is plain," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 173 "She is quite homely," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 176 There, Selius Arconious, she thought.
Details
10
19 177 "Surely you cannot find her of the least interest," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 180 "She is nothing," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 184 "Absurd," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 189 "No!" cried Selius Arconious, who would have sprung to his feet, save that the butt of a spear, pressing down on his shoulder, kept him in place.
Details
10
19 213 "No!" cried Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 234 Burn, she thought, Selius Arconious, burn! You will never have me! Suffer! Suffer! Burn! Burn! She saw he looked upon her with fury.
Details
10
19 260 "What is going on?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 261 "Selius," said Portus, "attend to the slave.
Details
10
19 263 "Very well," said Selius, puzzled.
Details
10
19 265 "I will do so," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 266 When Ellen looked up, from her knees, she saw, in the half darkness, Selius Arconious looming over her.
Details
10
19 351 In what might have been some half of an Ahn, or so, the door to the ice pantry, or ice room, opened and there stood therein, silhouetted in the light behind it, the figure of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 369 Remember that you begged to serve Selius Arconious, of Ar, begged piteously, and helplessly, to serve him, as a hot slave".
Details
10
19 379 "The slave has been fed and watered, as you wished, Portus," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 393 "Assist Selius," said Portus, looking about, as though he feared to hear at any moment the cries of men and the rushing of footsteps on the stairs, the rude, insistent smiting of spears against the inner door.
Details
10
19 405 "Seven tarns are ready harnessed for cargo," said Selius Arconious, emerging from the tarn cage, and two others are haltered, ready for tandem, trailing flight.
Details
10
19 417 "Such could never have occurred," said Selius Arconious, bitterly, "had Marlenus, our Ubar, he, the Ubar of Ubars, been in the city".
Details
10
19 476 "You are brave fools," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 486 These two tarns were left in the care of Selius Arconious, who had chosen to remain behind.
Details
10
19 490 Selius Arconious, of course, a lowly employee, could not be expected to be of much help in such matters.
Details
10
19 500 Might that not be a disguise for roving tarnsmen, who might then jettison the baskets and wing their way free to whatever mischief they might portend? "Untie the slave," Portus called to Selius, "and put her in the last basket".
Details
10
19 501 Selius turned Ellen to her belly and bent to free her of her several-times-looped, narrow pinions.
Details
10
19 508 She turned, as she could, lifting her head, rising a bit on the palms of her hands, to view her master, her body still pinned in place by Selius, who was kneeling across the back of her legs.
Details
10
19 519 Selius picked her up and put her on his left shoulder, her head to the rear.
Details
10
19 521 "When Portus addressed you," said Selius Arconious, "you merely shook your head in understanding, and affirmation".
Details
10
19 523 "Surely you know gag signals, slut," said Selius.
Details
10
19 525 "Would you like to be thrown from the platform?" asked Selius.
Details
10
19 527 "Good," said Selius.
Details
10
19 542 She stood there, looking at Selius Arconious, she within the basket, he standing on the floor beside it, the small, folded tunic between her teeth.
Details
10
19 554 "The cargo is stowed," Selius called to Portus.
Details
10
19 558 "Selius!" called Portus.
Details
10
19 559 Selius turned his contemptuous gaze from the distraught, rejected, tearful slave.
Details
10
19 562 "Did you learn the origin of the disturbance in the city, the cause of such shouting, of such commotion, in the streets?" "Yes," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 573 She held out one hand to Selius Arconious piteously, sliding away from him.
Details
10
19 636 On this world there are men such as Portus Canio and Selius Arconious! I am a woman.
Details
10
19 664 According to the report of Selius Arconious the explanation of the unrest had to do with the alleged disappearance of Talena, the very Ubara of Ar, from the palace.
Details
10
19 713 Too, she had been fed, in a manner of speaking, earlier by the brutish, impatient, handsome Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 779 You may reject me, Selius Arconious, she said, bitterly, but others will not.
Details
10
19 782 Yes, a beautiful slave! See me on a market block, Selius Arconious.
Details
10
19 783 See me perform! Then you will cry out with rage, with misery, with need, seeing what you have lost! "You have lost a prize, Selius Arconious," she cried, to the indifferent emptiness of the dark countryside.
Details
10
20 942 Obviously the slave marshal regarded her as acceptable collar meat, perhaps even excellent collar meat! There, take that, again, Selius Arconious, she thought.
Details
10
24 623 Then suddenly it seemed she knew who was strongest for, to her astonishment, she now saw, toward the back of the silk, only a few feet from Mirus, to his left, Selius Arconious! He, though impecunious, though a simple workman, no more than an ordinary tarnster, was a Gorean master.
Details
10
24 628 "I cannot let him see me in this way! Not in this way!" She stopped dancing for a moment, confused, but tried not to look at Selius Arconious, lest their eyes meet.
Details
10
24 639 "What are you doing here, Selius Arconious," she wondered.
Details
10
24 651 Then, with a toss of her head, and a whirl of her hair, she danced toward Selius Arconious.
Details
10
24 653 "I will show you, proud, handsome master, what you cannot afford!" Then, she moved from Selius Arconious to Mirus again, dancing in the sand, regarding him steadily.
Details
10
24 671 Do not regard Master Mirus or Master Selius! You are a slave girl and can be whipped in an instant.
Details
10
24 683 You are only acting a part, aren't you? Please, my body, do not reveal your needs! No! I fear that I am becoming aroused! I must not let this show, certainly not before Masters Mirus and Selius.
Details
10
24 694 What did the men mind? The face of Selius Arconious was impassive.
Details
10
24 707 She dared to lift her head a little, but she saw neither Mirus nor Selius Arconious within the enclosure.
Details
10
24 803 "I am called 'Selius'," said the voice.
Details
10
24 806 It was Selius Arconious! "Perhaps you are right," said the scribe.
Details
10
24 814 "True," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
24 823 "But she did mislead you," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
24 825 "Then she is stupid," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
24 828 "Apparently," said Selius Arconious, "those of Cos are indulgent with their slaves".
Details
10
24 830 "Too, intentionally or not," said Selius Arconious, "she has made a fool out of you, and of Cos".
Details
10
24 832 "Were you given permission to speak?" inquired Selius Arconious.
Details
10
24 834 "Forgive me, Master!" "You see how stupid she is," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
24 836 "I did not know that Cos accepted stupidity in her slaves," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
24 842 "I would think fifteen lashes," said Selius.
Details
10
24 844 "Ten for the stupidity of imperiling the integrity of your records," said Selius Arconious, "and another five for the stupidity of daring to speak without permission".
Details
10
24 849 Selius Arconious had interposed himself, and his hand rested on the arm of the guardsman, staying its blow.
Details
10
24 851 "I will buy the strokes," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
24 855 "Done," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
24 862 "How cleverly Selius Arconious demeans me! He knows I hate him, that I cannot stand him, that I loathe him! Now he whom I intensely despise chooses to interfere! From where has he come? Why is he here? By what right does he interpose himself betwixt a slave and an agent of her master, the state of C...
Details
10
24 864 Ellen, who well understood her condition, needed not be reprimanded or kicked, nor required a suggestion, or command, to be repeated, but squirmed immediately, prostrate, on her belly, to Selius Arconious, and, putting down her head, her hair falling about his sandals, kissed his feet.
Details
10
24 866 "Your gratitude may be premature, my dear," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
24 868 Selius Arconious stepped back, away from her.
Details
10
24 872 She was obeying, and kneeling, a naked slave, in the presence of Selius Arconious, whom she hated.
Details
10
24 875 She looked at Selius Arconious.
Details
10
24 883 "She is a slut, meaningless and stupid," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
24 888 Ellen, turning about, cast an angry glance at Selius Arconious, who regarded her impassively.
Details
10
25 63 "Oh, please, masters, let me out!" Selius Arconious, she recalled, had suggested that she be confined "straitly," and the scribe, to whom he had given some fifteen tarsk-bits, buying her blows, had found this not only agreeable, but, given his earlier rancor, eminently fitting.
Details
10
25 96 "Selius Arconious has done this to me," she had said to herself.
Details
10
25 217 Ellen was then angry with Selius Arconious.
Details
10
25 549 I hate Selius Arconious, she thought.
Details
10
25 797 I wonder if Mirus and Selius Arconious are among the men, she thought.
Details
10
25 803 I wonder if dear Mirus and dear Selius Arconious, the arrogant, imperious pigs, are here.
Details
10
25 807 I hate you, Selius Arconious, she said, to herself.
Details
10
25 808 I hate you, I hate you! But neither, she supposed, neither Mirus or Selius Arconious, were here.
Details
10
25 812 And she need not concern herself at all with Selius Arconious, a lowly tarnster.
Details
10
25 964 I trust, she thought wildly, that neither Mirus nor Selius Arconious are among the buyers.
Details
10
25 1176 She had been sold! She now belonged, in the full meaningfulness of Gorean servitude, to her new master, Selius Arconious! The auctioneer's assistant half dragged her to the stairs, and there handed her down, into the arms of another assistant.
Details
10
25 1180 Not to him! To anyone but him! He hates me! I hate him! I hate him! Oh, Ellen, miserable slave! He has bought you! He owns you! You belong to him! You belong to Selius Arconious! It is his collar that you must wear! She put her face in her hands, weeping.
Details
10
26 18 Selius Arconious, it seemed, for whatever reason, as was the case, it seemed, with a number of other masters, as well, was in no hurry to claim his slave.
Details
10
26 59 Too, she did not know if Selius Arconious was in the vicinity.
Details
10
26 63 She excused herself on this count, with the recognition that Selius Arconious was the sort of man before whom women naturally felt an impulse to kneel, and spread-kneed.
Details
10
26 72 It was not the voice of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 102 It was the voice of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 117 Beware of Tersius Major! Portus Canio and Fel Doron are even now awaiting transportation to Cos or Tyros, perhaps to the quarries!" "Do not concern yourself about such things, slave girl," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 119 "I attempted to dissuade them," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 122 "Curiosity is not becoming in a kajira," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 124 "An impulse to travel," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 160 "I think you will soon know," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 163 "It will not be wise to remain long in the camp," said Selius Arconious, "but, unfortunately, there is no help for it.
Details
10
26 174 "Before a woman is sold, it is common to starve her of sex," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 206 "Ellen, the slave, your slave, Master, begs to be caressed by her master, Selius Arconious, of Ar," said Ellen.
Details
10
26 207 "Do women of your world often beg to be caressed?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 237 I hate Selius Arconious! I hate him! I hate him! Then she cried aloud, in the hood, "Oh, please, Master, have mercy on me! Come back! Hold me! Touch me! Help me! I will obey well! I will be a good slave! Fulfill me! Give me my slave's release! I beg it! I am your slave! Be kind to your slave! Be rut...
Details
10
26 238 I hate Selius Arconious, she thought.
Details
10
26 281 But we must remember that the feelings of Selius Arconious toward his recent purchase were rather ambivalent.
Details
10
26 378 * * * * Surely, she thought, Selius Arconious knows something of these things! And he paid five pieces of gold, of gold, for me! Perhaps he had a hundred, and they were no more than tarsk-bits to him! What then does that make me worth? Must I not now reassess myself? Am I not again no more than a ch...
Details
10
26 501 "It says," said he, "'I am the property of Selius Arconious, of Ar.
Details
10
26 581 She wondered if Selius Arconious, whom she supposed still held her leash, was disguised, or wore about his features the hoodlike folds of a cloak.
Details
10
26 601 Yes, Selius Arconious could have done much with his gold, she thought.
Details
10
26 631 "Have you secured the guards?" she heard Selius Arconious ask.
Details
10
26 637 Too, though she hated Selius Arconious, she was sure, it nonetheless pleased her to kneel thusly before him.
Details
10
26 640 Perhaps it was Selius Arconious, her master.
Details
10
26 652 Selius Arconious was to one side, placing the hood in a pack.
Details
10
26 664 "I know," smiled Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 676 "He will be clad as Selius Arconious, gagged, tied in the saddle of a tarn and set aflight".
Details
10
26 681 "Are the wagons ready?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 686 "Is it true," asked Selius Arconious, of the red-haired man, "that Marlenus has been found near Ar?" "It seems so," said the red-haired man.
Details
10
26 721 Ellen, from her knees, looked up to Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 748 "What?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 751 "Yes?" said Selius Arconious, warily.
Details
10
26 753 "You see then," said Selius Arconious, "that you no longer have any claim to her".
Details
10
26 757 "Very well," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 765 "How much?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 768 "Twenty," said Selius.
Details
10
26 770 "But that is my own money!" protested Selius.
Details
10
26 774 Slowly, as Ellen watched, delighted, Selius Arconious, angrily, reluctantly, removing them one by one from his purse, placed twenty-one silver tarsks, of Ar, in the hands of Portus Canio.
Details
10
26 778 When she raised her head, Selius Arconious was looking down at her, in fury.
Details
10
26 783 "Gloat now, little she-sleen," said Selius Arconious, angrily, "but do not forget that it is in my bracelets that your wrists are locked".
Details
10
26 788 "I do not understand," said Selius Arconious.

26 791 One of the other men about slapped Selius Arconious good-naturedly on the back.
Details
10
26 793 Selius Arconious, reddening, replaced the silver in his purse.
Details
10
26 797 "Alas," said Selius Arconious, "there is no smaller coin".
Details
10
26 798 Ellen looked angrily, from her knees, she back-braceleted, from Portus Canio to Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 800 And quickly, frightened, Ellen put down her head and began to lick and kiss the sandals of Selius Arconious, once again a slave, once again reminded of the absoluteness of her bondage.
Details
10
26 835 "Have arrangements been made for me?" asked Selius.
Details
10
26 840 "Can one trust one of Port Kar?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 843 "I did not know," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 857 "How many of our men are in the camp?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 860 "May I speak, Master," whispered Ellen, softly, looking up to Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 867 "He is a fool," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 903 "To them, and please them," said Selius Arconious, "with your kisses, and lips, and tongue and mouth.
Details
10
26 906 "You cannot be serious!" "They are doubtless good fellows," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 925 She was frightened, but she was even more frightened of her master, Selius Arconious, whom she now understood was not to be trifled with.
Details
10
26 1024 It identified her as the property of a Gorean, Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 1035 Selius Arconious was there, and Portus Canio, and Fel Doron, and others, including the red-haired man, he so much like a larl, claimedly from Port Kar, it seemed of the Warriors, and his fellow, the dark-haired, lithe man, said to be of Ar's Station, also it seemed of the Warriors, which was somewhe...
Details
10
26 1037 She knelt beside Selius Arconious, knees wide, her head down.
Details
10
26 1048 "I wonder if they will catch him," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 1051 Selius Arconious took a blanket and threw it about Ellen's shoulders.
Details
10
26 1058 Perhaps I will be able to dominate him? Then she fearfully put aside that thought, for she knew she would never be able to dominate Selius Arconious, or any Gorean male.
Details
10
26 1073 "They did not recognize you," said Portus Canio to Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 1074 "They are not looking for me here," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 1088 She moved toward Selius Arconious, on her knees, facing him, and lifted her chin.
Details
10
26 1089 "What is wrong?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 1098 "You are afraid you will not be taken with us?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 1100 Selius Arconious reached to the blanket and drew it completely over Ellen.
Details
10
26 1111 I hate Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 1135 He is Selius Arconious, my master! How strange she then thought that I, of Earth, should be here, on another world, a far, beautiful world, one many of Earth do not even know exists, kneeling on its grass, naked, back-braceleted, covered with a blanket, dismissed from attention, unable to see, waiti...
Details
10
26 1370 Too, Selius Arconious had been willing to pay twenty-one silver tarsks for her.
Details
10
26 1386 "Well," said Selius Arconious, "I think that I shall seek some rest".
Details
10
26 1396 "On your feet," said Selius Arconious, and, from the tone of his voice, Ellen, even though beneath the blanket, had no doubt he was addressing her.
Details
10
26 1484 "There!" said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 1494 "He knows nothing of us," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
26 1625 A wave of hatred for the brute, Selius Arconious, swept over her.
Details
10
26 1741 She did not think that Selius Arconious slept then.
Details
10
27 5 Initially there had been a tarn pursuit of the trussed, gagged Tersius Major, he tied upright in a tarn saddle, clad as had been Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 6 Accordingly the Cosian search for Selius Arconious had been at least temporarily abandoned.
Details
10
27 16 When she sensed Selius Arconious's eyes upon her she walked especially well.
Details
10
27 108 Interestingly, too, though Ellen feared the lash, and would go to great lengths to avoid it, she, in the complex subtleties and ambiguities of the master/slave relationship, in which she was so obviously implicated, and despite her constant explicit reassurances to herself that she must hate her mas...
Details
10
27 246 Someone wants me! Someone thinks I am of interest! Indeed, it had been Portus Canio who had bought her off the shelf of Targo in Ar, in the Kettle Market! She stole a glance at Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 330 Selius Arconious was no longer at her side.
Details
10
27 334 She saw Selius Arconious near the wagon.
Details
10
27 358 Selius Arconious returned to his bedding, and looked down, into the puzzled, frightened eyes of his slave, the Earth girl, Ellen.
Details
10
27 376 Selius Arconious had lifted his head, facing backward, nostrils flared, testing the wind, a moment later.
Details
10
27 388 Ellen, from her place on the wheel, looked wildly at Selius Arconious, who, looking backward, was unaware of the anxiety of her regard.
Details
10
27 399 "If they are this close to us, it is unlikely they are afoot," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 437 Why did she not rejoice? Was she not to be rescued from the grasp of he whom she feared and hated, her cruel master, Selius Arconious? She had little doubt then, though she could not yet see them, who followed them.
Details
10
27 447 "The sleen will not be most dangerous unless they are set upon us," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 480 She was in the brief tunic which had been permitted to her by Selius Arconious, was barefoot, and collared.
Details
10
27 498 "Or," said Selius Arconious, "you could butcher and roast one of your shaggy friends".
Details
10
27 501 "Though," said Selius Arconious, "I expect their meat would be tough".
Details
10
27 510 "Wait," said Selius Arconious, "I know you.
Details
10
27 515 "But misery and woe," said Selius Arconious, "even if I were to give her to you for nothing, I would be cheating you.
Details
10
27 520 "She is not for sale," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 525 "Of course," said Selius Arconious, "as she is a slave".
Details
10
27 530 "I do not know from whence it came," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 559 "It is a weapon!" "Surely an unlikely weapon," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 593 "Do you want to go with them?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 598 "Do not respond," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 616 "And you want her?" said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 618 "You may not have her," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 619 Ellen looked up, startled, at Selius Arconious, who paid her no attention.
Details
10
27 622 "So, too, am I," said Selius Arconious, evenly.
Details
10
27 624 "Quiet, slut," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 628 "Of course," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 630 He leveled the weapon at the chest of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 631 "Please, no, Master!" cried Ellen, leaping up, wildly, unbidden, and interposing her body between the muzzle of the weapon and the body of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 633 "What are you doing?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 723 Mirus then returned his gaze to Ellen, who knelt facing him, Selius Arconious standing behind her.
Details
10
27 726 "No!" cried Selius Arconious, and lunged forward, but he was seized by two of his fellows, who restrained him, as he struggled.
Details
10
27 743 The ropes now were not those of Selius Arconious, her master, in which she might have been left alone, to simmer in his absence, well aware of her bound limbs, or squirmed in anticipation, delighting in her helplessness, and readying herself for his caresses, against which she would be helpless to d...
Details
10
27 745 Should you not be pleased, she asked herself, to be taken from the presence of so hateful, vile, and arrogant a monster as Selius Arconious! Surely, yes, she told herself.
Details
10
27 747 At a gesture from Portus Canio Selius Arconious stopped struggling, but he stood, trembling, dark with rage, between the two who had briefly held him.
Details
10
27 750 "The Priest-Kings do not concern themselves with the affairs of men," said Selius Arconious, bitterly.
Details
10
27 768 She looked back, to see Selius Arconious and the others.
Details
10
27 854 His gaze lingered last, and longest, on that of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 855 Then, without removing his gaze from that of Selius Arconious, whom he seemed to somehow sense might be the most dangerous, or the most desperate, or the most irrational, or the first to act, he uttered a succession of soft, low, almost gentle, growling noises.
Details
10
27 870 Ellen looked wildly at Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 871 Selius Arconious suddenly, wildly, pointed to the sky, far, high, away, behind the riders.
Details
10
27 914 He was then somewhat in advance of his fellows, and a few feet from the translator and Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 929 Selius Arconious released the body and it fell from him, to the grass.
Details
10
27 934 Selius Arconious stepped back.
Details
10
27 941 Ellen thought for an instant that the eyes of he whom Selius Arconious had briefly held had opened for an agonized instant, the body understanding that it was being eaten, but this was doubtless merely a consequence of its subjection to the frenzied molestation.
Details
10
27 943 The body was probably dead before it reached the grass, fallen before the sandals of the stunned, disbelieving Selius Arconious, he shaken from the noise and the horror, his knife held lamely in his hand.
Details
10
27 975 "Be silent, slave," snarled Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1006 "Tarnsmen!" said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1011 "Tarnsmen," repeated Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1021 Selius Arconious flung himself toward Ellen, dragged her to the earth and covered her body for an instant with his own, crouching over it, looking up, wildly.
Details
10
27 1025 In an odd almost still instant she saw the breeze ruffle its fletching, and then cried out as Selius Arconious dragged her to her feet by a bound arm and, looking upward, rushed her stumbling to the wagon, and hurled her savagely, she rolling, beneath it.
Details
10
27 1057 She then saw, with a gasp of relief, Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1069 Then he regarded Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1071 Selius Arconious shrugged.
Details
10
27 1078 "As I said," said Selius Arconious, "I did not shoot well enough".
Details
10
27 1127 Selius Arconious struck at least two.
Details
10
27 1148 "They sought him," said he, nodding toward Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1151 "And where is this gold?" he asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1152 "I have forgotten," said Selius.
Details
10
27 1510 That is possible! It is said Tersius Major is with them! He may want me! Many times in the tarn loft have his eyes greedily roved me! A slave is not unaware of such things! If this should be true, if it is I whom they want, give me to them!" "Vain slave," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1512 "Do not flatter yourself, property-slut," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1519 Men bid silver upon me, silver!" "You are worth no more than a handful of tarsk-bits," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1520 "If it should be I whom they want," said Ellen, "give me to them! Save yourselves!" "They are not thinking slave," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1539 "And it seems," said Selius Arconious, "that as you may have followed us with such in mind, so, too, with such in mind, have the Cosians followed you".
Details
10
27 1542 "Are you so fond of Tersius Major?" inquired Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1544 "Do not think you can so easily escape my collar," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1546 "Do you allow your women to speak without permission?" asked the spokesman of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1548 "Let me speak!" "Spread your knees," snapped Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1551 Selius Arconious regarded her, not pleasantly.
Details
10
27 1553 "Take the rope from my neck! Let me run! Perhaps they will be distracted, and you may make away!" But Selius Arconious was paying her no attention.
Details
10
27 1565 "If you run," said Selius Arconious, "as soon as you are caught, by whomsoever catches you, I or another, you will be treated as a runaway, and will be subjected to the sanctions appropriately levied against a runaway girl".
Details
10
27 1569 "Tie the slut's leash to the wagon," said Selius Arconious, irritably.
Details
10
27 1570 Ellen looked at Selius Arconious, tears in her eyes.
Details
10
27 1576 "See the swing of the baskets," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1587 "I think not," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1596 When she lifted her head again, Selius Arconious was gone.
Details
10
27 1631 Before him stood Selius Arconious, his body bloody, filthy from war, his tunic torn and soiled, gasping for breath, regarding Mirus furiously, balefully.
Details
10
27 1633 Mirus in fury reached to his belt and drew his pistol, and it was centered on the heart of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1635 Surely Selius Arconious knew the meaning of that weapon.
Details
10
27 1641 "Why are you not at your post?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1643 "Now," said Selius Arconious, "you know the meaning of Gor".
Details
10
27 1645 Selius Arconious, looking about, lifted the bound slave, enwrapping her in his arms.
Details
10
27 1648 Selius scowled, and then smiled.
Details
10
27 1657 There was a pair of shots from the west, and Selius Arconious hurried away.
Details
10
27 1677 "No more lightning! We surrender!" Ellen recalled that when she had seen Selius Arconious he had no longer had the crossbow.
Details
10
27 1681 Selius Arconious, with Fel Doron, and Portus Canio, slowly, upright, wearily, approached the wagon.
Details
10
27 1684 Selius Arconious motioned that Ellen should emerge from under the wagon, and the slave complied, and came to kneel at the feet of her master, frightened.
Details
10
27 1746 "Surely it is a reliable currency," said Selius Arconious, as though concerned.
Details
10
27 1838 "It is lost, doubtless somewhere in the grass!" Tersius Major's eyes went from face to face, from Portus Canio, to Fel Doron, to Selius Arconious, to their other fellow, and thence to the kneeling spokesman, to the sleenmaster, to Mirus, to the wounded man.
Details
10
27 1852 "She is worthy," said Selius Arconious, "to be kept as no more than a pot girl, or a kettle-and-mat girl, or perhaps as a shaved-headed, hobbled camp slut".
Details
10
27 1855 Ellen smiled at Selius Arconious, innocently.
Details
10
27 1857 "One might always strip her, and make an assessment," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 1859 She looked up angrily at Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2008 She shrank back a little, on her knees, an inch or so farther from the beast, an inch or so farther from the sandals of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2143 "We are not slaves!" said the fellow of Portus Canio, Loquatus, only he left of the original nine, other than Portus Canio himself, Selius Arconious and Fel Doron.
Details
10
27 2154 Selius Arconious cast a glance at Ellen, she kneeling, bound, collared, a bit of rope on her neck.
Details
10
27 2296 Selius Arconious was momentarily illuminated in a flash of lightning, looking wildly about, his fists clenched.
Details
10
27 2298 "Steady, steady!" said Portus Canio to Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2334 "And who amongst you," he asked, "organized, or instigated, the lifting of the wagon?" "I," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2353 When this was done he turned to Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2356 Selius Arconious struggled at the wheel, his muscles lunging against the ropes.
Details
10
27 2404 She dared not look at Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2440 She dared not look at Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2537 She still did not turn to look at Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2553 "What is it?" asked Selius Arconious, struggling at the wheel.
Details
10
27 2556 "Kajira!" snapped Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2599 Who blames the kaiila who responds to the digging heels, the reins and quirts of diverse riders? Suddenly she was suffused with anger, and remembered that she hated Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2604 Selius Arconious, as soon as she, saw that it was the spokesman, bound hand and foot.
Details
10
27 2698 "No," said Selius Arconious, bound at the wheel.
Details
10
27 2703 "Then he is not even an urt of Ar?" "No," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2809 "That one," said the officer, indicating Selius Arconious, bound at the wheel, "free from the wheel, but keep bound".
Details
10
27 2816 She cast a wild glance at Selius Arconious, who pulled angrily at his bonds, at the wheel.
Details
10
27 2821 Her eyes met those of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2830 Selius Arconious was freed from the wheel, but his wrists remained tied behind his back.
Details
10
27 2834 Selius Arconious, though freed from the wheel, continued to stand near it, angrily, bound.
Details
10
27 2847 "I would keep the young fellow bound for a time," he said, indicating Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2853 "Stand," said the soldier nearest Ellen, he who had drawn her away from the feet of her master, Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2858 The soldier then took a length of rope and knotted it to the length of rope which was already on her neck, that which Mirus, in his attempt, during the fray, to make away with her, had slashed short, an attempt foiled by Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2899 "Here, slave girl," said he, "now!" "Do not move," snapped Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2906 "Selius Arconious, of Ar," cried Ellen.
Details
10
27 2907 "I am owned by Selius Arconious of Ar, tarnster, of the caste of Tarn Keepers!" "I will have you!" said Mirus.
Details
10
27 2921 "Stop!" said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2923 "I will give her to you before I will have her die," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2931 "Do not be a fool," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2942 Ellen regarded the standing, bound Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 2963 She wished Selius Arconious was free.
Details
10
27 3008 It was her master, Selius Arconious! The beasts had ignored him in their first onslaught, as they had the slave, for he was bound with rope, and she no more than female and slave, and braceleted.
Details
10
27 3015 "Command them!" cried Selius Arconious, wildly.
Details
10
27 3019 Vengefully Kardok pointed to Selius Arconious and the free beast lunged forward, jaws slavering.
Details
10
27 3020 It seized Selius Arconious by the shoulders and opened its great, cavernous, fanged jaws, and bent toward his throat, and the slave screamed, and suddenly, almost at her ear, almost like being enwrapped within a clap of thunder and a stroke of lightning, there was a loud report, the blast, of a pist...
Details
10
27 3021 The beast released Selius Arconious and looked puzzled for a moment.
Details
10
27 3028 Selius Arconious cast Mirus a glance of hatred, which attention seemed unnoticed by the shaken Mirus.
Details
10
27 3029 Portus Canio, bloody, hastened in this moment to Selius Arconious and slashed apart the bonds that bound him.
Details
10
27 3030 "Give me a blade!" said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3099 "No!" said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3114 Then she whispered to Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3116 "Be silent, slut," said Selius Arconious, severely.
Details
10
27 3132 "You may not have the slave," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3137 Selius Arconious caught the keys.
Details
10
27 3145 "True," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3199 Selius Arconious, angrily, went to face Mirus.
Details
10
27 3206 "No, Master! Please, no, Master!" "You will find her poorly trained, and worthless," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3210 And with those words he withdrew from Ellen and placed, as she turned and watched, from her side, the keys in the hands of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3211 "Why?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3213 "Perhaps," said Selius Arconious, wonderingly, "you are worthy of a Home Stone".
Details
10
27 3215 "What will you do, where will you go?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3219 "I think, then," said Selius Arconious, "that you are indeed worthy of a Home Stone".
Details
10
27 3221 "My hand!" said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3266 Selius Arconious nodded, watching the work of Portus Canio.
Details
10
27 3277 Then she looked pathetically at Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3314 She straightened her body, noted that Selius Arconious was watching her, and, pretending not to notice, pulled down the sides of her brief tunic, intently, tightly, this accentuating the flare of her hips, demurely.
Details
10
27 3323 When the meat was done, she would not touch it, of course, but it was removed from the cooking rods and cut by Portus Canio, who distributed it, to Fel Doron, and Selius Arconious, and Mirus, who took some to his wounded fellow.
Details
10
27 3324 Portus Canio, Fel Doron and Selius Arconious sat cross-legged about the fire.
Details
10
27 3325 Ellen lay on her belly at the left knee of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3331 "You have an attractive slave," he told Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3332 "You can buy one for yourself, almost anywhere," said Selius Arconious, "or you can always capture a free woman, if you can find one lovely enough to be a slave, and tame and train her".
Details
10
27 3334 "Remember that men are the masters," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3336 "If you treat a slave well," said Selius Arconious, "you will get a great deal of pleasure out of her".
Details
10
27 3339 Mirus regarded Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3340 "One must make certain, of course," said Selius Arconious, "that she is not permitted the least latitude".
Details
10
27 3342 "Of course not," said Selius Arconious.

10
27 3382 Certainly not," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3384 "Not really," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3388 "Who would wish to be on any other?" said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3389 Ellen lay on her belly at the left knee of her master, Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3399 Selius Arconious tore off a bit of warm, juicy meat and held it to the slave, who took it delicately between her teeth, juice running at the side of her chin, but he did not release it.
Details
10
27 3417 "Yes," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3420 How far away now seemed Earth, and her former life! But had she not, even then, so long ago, dreamed of lying half naked, collared, beside a master? "You may now lie as you wish," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3427 "She is only a slave," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3447 "I love them for it!" "It seems," said Mirus to Selius Arconious, "that you have found a slave, one who is fully your own".
Details
10
27 3448 "Yes, it seems so," said Selius Arconious, "for the moment, at least, or until I tire of her".
Details
10
27 3450 "Why do you not do so, as well?" Selius Arconious asked Mirus, paying the slave no attention.
Details
10
27 3452 "But you are not now where you come from," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3454 "Will you not accept a woman for what she is?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3456 "In each woman," said Selius Arconious, "there is a slave, longing to be commanded forth and ordered to one's feet".
Details
10
27 3458 "In each man," said Selius Arconious, "there is a master, and in each woman, a slave.
Details
10
27 3469 "It must be a strange world," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3471 "But this is now your world," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3474 "You must buy yourself a slave," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3476 "Will you buy a Gorean girl or a barbarian?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3479 "Excellent," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 3518 "Get in the wagon," Selius Arconious told his slave.
Details
10
28 117 On his other side, opposite the restless, discomfited slave, Selius Arconious had laid an unsheathed weapon.
Details
10
28 138 The second beast then seemed to appear from nowhere and scrambled its way on all fours, dirt spattering behind it, toward Selius Arconious and the fallen Mirus.
Details
10
28 145 Kardok back on its haunches, bleeding, forced the blade of Selius Arconious from his own chest, wedging it away by the hilt with one paw and the flowing stub of the other.
Details
10
28 151 Bosk of Port Kar picked up the warmed, bright, red-rich, drenched blade of Selius Arconious, and held it out to him.
Details
10
28 152 Selius Arconious then followed Kardok from the camp.
Details
10
28 156 But in a matter of moments Selius Arconious returned to the camp, wading through the grass; in his right hand was a bloodied sword; in his left hand, dangling, was the massive, bleeding head of Kardok.
Details
10
28 169 Selius Arconious cast aside the great head of Kardok.
Details
10
28 187 "You saved my life," said Mirus to Selius Arconious.
Details
10
28 188 "Are we not then even?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
28 201 My love is Selius Arconious, she said to herself, but surely one could do worse than belong to one such as Mirus, he who once owned me.
Details
10
28 239 "Yes," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
28 248 "I, too," averred Selius Arconious.
Details
10
28 254 "No," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
28 258 "Yet," said Selius Arconious, "if they were still with us, this, it seemed, would be the likely morning for them to act, for this morning Mirus and his fellow are on to Brundisium, and we, with the slave, will trek toward Ar.
Details
10
28 264 "There," said Selius Arconious, indicating the object to the side, "the preparation of the travois, the wounded fellow of Mirus no longer to be transported in the wagon".
Details
10
28 267 "No," said Selius Arconious, "lest she inadvertently, by signs of uneasiness, alert the beasts as to such suspicions".
Details
10
28 305 "Get up and get to work," said Selius Arconious, unpleasantly.
Details
10
28 313 What beasts men are, thought Ellen, to openly compare the limbs of slaves! Are we animals? And then, of course, devastatingly, the obvious thought came to her that yes, of course, they were animals! "Get busy!" snapped Selius Arconious.
Details
10
28 328 Then, with the help of Portus Canio and Selius Arconious, his weak fellow was placed on the travois.
Details
10
28 411 "Bid him farewell," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
28 414 Then, at a gesture from Selius Arconious, she put down her head and humbly kissed his feet.
Details
10
28 418 "Thank you, Master," she whispered, so that Selius Arconious, who was standing to one side, could not hear.
Details
10
28 424 "You have taught me something of this world," said Mirus to Selius Arconious.
Details
10
28 426 "It is nothing," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 33 Selius Arconious was now there, having come forward at her call, from the wagon.
Details
10
29 40 "She was quite lovely," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 47 "It was thoughtful of her master to so display her," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 56 "But well did I humble her!" "Doubtless," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 62 "Perhaps tomorrow morning, early," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 66 Selius Arconious turned about, and made his way back through the trees.
Details
10
29 69 Too, she was not too pleased with Selius Arconious, for he had, as in the grasslands, muchly ignored her, and had not put her to the usages of a slave, those usages which were appropriate for her, and which she, collared, craved.
Details
10
29 70 Indeed, some of her earlier feelings of ambiguity pertaining to Selius Arconious had begun to reassert themselves.
Details
10
29 77 To be sure, she did not wish to belong to another, though she was sure that another would not be as understanding, as patient, as kind, as boring, as neglectful, as trivial with her as Selius Arconious, but would see to it, firmly, severely, whip in hand if need be, that the finest and fullest of he...
Details
10
29 99 Selius Arconious is a weakling, she thought.
Details
10
29 105 "Remove your tunic," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 116 Selius Arconious approached her.
Details
10
29 127 "There is an abandoned tarsk pen nearby?" Selius Arconious asked Fel Doron.
Details
10
29 130 "Then let us show our little she-tarsk," said Selius Arconious, grimly.
Details
10
29 137 Here Selius Arconious angrily kicked away two of the lower horizontal poles, and left one horizontal pole in place, which was about four feet above the leaves, wood chips, rotted straw, and turf.
Details
10
29 142 But Selius Arconious had returned to the wagon, and there, as nearly as the slave could tell, looking wildly over her right shoulder, began rummaging through his belongings.
Details
10
29 146 She had been unable to see well behind her, given the angle from which Selius Arconious had approached.
Details
10
29 148 "I purchased this at the festival camp, outside Brundisium," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 150 "I think it will do, nicely," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 155 "I thought I might need it," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 162 There was no mistaking the device in the hands of Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 191 "But what of the women of Earth who are not free?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 216 In this way she hoped to put Selius Arconious off his guard, and divert his wrath.
Details
10
29 225 "Occasionally," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 239 And surely I have nothing to fear from him now!" "Ah, yes," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 242 "It amused me," said Selius Arconious, recollectively, "to see you dance as a slave, the slave you are.
Details
10
29 258 "Who cares for a slave?" snarled Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 262 "That is our place! That is our place in nature! We long to be in our place in nature! We belong at your feet! We beg our collars! We lift and kiss our chains in gratitude! We ask only to kneel, to be used, and to serve!" "But do not speak of caring!" cried Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 311 "Prepare to be whipped, slave girl," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 313 "Are you in a collar?" asked Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 321 They would not even understand what it is to be a slave!" "Every woman," said Selius Arconious, "understands what it would be, to be a slave".
Details
10
29 326 You are barbarians! I am not a barbarian! I am civilized! I am a civilized woman!" "'Girl,'" corrected Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 349 If asked, say, her master, the slave might respond, 'My master is Selius Arconious, of Ar', or such.
Details
10
29 373 "So," said Selius Arconious, angrily, "you are other than Gorean women? More delicate, more sensitive, finer!" "Forgive me, Master!" wept Ellen.
Details
10
29 376 "You are unworthy to tie the sandals of a Gorean woman," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
29 383 "Let us speak no more of your pathetic, miserable, tragic world," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
30 2 About the table, cross-legged, sat Selius Arconious, her master, Portus Canio, Fel Doron, Bosk of Port Kar, and Marcus, of Ar's Station.
Details
10
30 15 Selius Arconious shrugged, noncommittally.
Details
10
30 43 These men remember me from the grasslands, and it is the intention of Selius Arconious to make it clear to them that his slave is different now from what they saw then, that she is muchly changed, that she is now an acceptable slave, a well-mastered slave.
Details
10
30 124 "Bread," said Selius Arconious, gesturing toward the kitchen.
Details
10
30 214 "Respond," called Selius Arconious, from behind her.
Details
10
30 216 "Now," said Selius Arconious, "eyes front, slave!" And then Ellen continued on her way, not looking to the side, or back.
Details
10
30 225 Selius Arconious, standing, regarded his property, kneeling.
Details
10
30 256 "Have no fear, dear lady," said Selius Arconious, politely.
Details
10
30 260 "You were to receive ten strokes for the first offense, and five for the second," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
30 290 "Tal," said they to Selius Arconious.
Details
10
30 293 "Fifteen," said Selius Arconious.
Details
10
30 320 Selius Arconious, a tarnster of Ar, had been pleased.
Details
10
30 368 She recalled there had been a bid of fifteen silver tarsks on her even before Mirus and Selius Arconious had entered upon their competition for a slave, the shapely, gray-eyed brunette being displayed and auctioned.
Details
10
30 412 "I, Ellen, the slave of Selius Arconious, tarnster of Ar, desire sexual pleasure".
Details
10
30 414 "I, Ellen, slave, property of Selius Arconious, of Ar, beg sexual pleasure!" She looked up at him, pathetically.
