Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
1	223	For a moment it looked like a falling star, but then it suddenly became clear and substantial, like a broad, thick disk of silver.	10
2	1	The Counter-Earth I remembered nothing, from the time I'd boarded the silver disk in the mountains of New Hampshire until now.	10
13	8	In the far distance I could see the silver wire I knew must be the great Vosk, could see the abrupt shift from the grassy plains to the Margin of Desolation.	10
15	51	I tossed a silver tarn disk to the tarn keeper and ordered him to care for the bird, to groom and feed it and see that it was ready on an instant's notice.	10
16	134	The heavy metal bars were coated with silver and set with precious stones.	10
17	25	The tiny urt, a common rodent of Gorean cities, was bringing a silver tarn disk in the markets.	10
18	62	I noted with repulsion that on the roof of the Cylinder of Justice there shimmered a public impaling spear of polished silver, some fifty feet high, gleaming, looking like a needle in the distance.	10
19	32	By night Ar would be in flames, its coffers broken open, its gold and silver in the bedrolls of the looters, its men slaughtered, its women, stripped, lashed to the pleasure-racks of the victors.	10
20	43	I awoke, perhaps weeks later, stiff and chilly in the mountains of New Hampshire, near the flat rock on which the silver spacecraft had landed.	10
20	70	Two or three times a year I have returned to the mountains of New Hampshire, to look again on that great flat rock, to spend a night there, in case I might see once again that silver disk in the sky, in case once again I might be summoned by the Priest-Kings to that other world.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
11	50	From the curule chair beside the throne rose another woman, wearing an intricately wrought silver mask and magnificent robes of rich silver cloth.	10
11	92	She smoothed the silver folds of her robes with a nervous hand, gloved in silver.	10
26	32	"And add to the golden tarn disks," she had exclaimed, "tarn disks of silver to be formed from the masks of our women, for henceforth in Tharna no woman may wear a mask of either gold or silver, not even though she be Tatrix of Tharna herself!" And as she had spoken, according to the customs of Thar...	10
2	3	I rose slowly to my feet, my fibers alive in the wind, my hair torn by its blasts, my muscles each aching and rejoicing in their first movements in perhaps weeks, for I had again entered that silver disk in the White Mountains which was the ship of the Priest-Kings, used for the Voyages of Acquisiti...	10
3	73	"I have no silver, and no goods".	10
8	21	Each of these women wore resplendent Robes of Concealment, rich in color and workmanship, standing out among the drab garments of the men, but instead of the veil common with such robes the features of each were hidden behind a mask of silver.	10
8	24	It made me uneasy to be the object of their gaze, to be confronted by those passionless, glittering silver masks.	10
9	97	It was a silver tarn disk.	10
9	139	"Those creatures that float in the street behind masks of silver," I asked, "are they truly women?" "Truly," said one of the men, restraining a laugh.	10
11	20	Their glittering silver masks, each carved in the image of the same beautiful woman, regarded me expressionlessly.	10
11	21	About the room, here and there, stood stern warriors of Tharna, grim in their blue helmets, each with a tiny silver mask on the temple—members of the palace guard.	10
11	24	On the throne itself there sat a woman, proud, lofty in haughty dignity, garbed regally in majestic robes of golden cloth, wearing a mask not of silver but of pure gold, carved like the others in the image of a beautiful woman.	10
11	46	"The yoke is of silver," said she, "from the mines of Tharna".	10
11	47	I was stunned, for if the yoke were truly of silver, the metal on my shoulders might have ransomed a Ubar.	10
11	51	She stood haughtily beside the Tatrix, the expressionless silver mask gleaming down at me, hideous in the torchlight it reflected.	10
11	54	"Does the law of Tharna not give it the right to speak, Dorna the Proud, Second in Tharna?" asked the Tatrix, whose voice, too, was imperious and cold, yet pleased me more than the tones of she who wore the silver mask.	10
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.	10
11	62	The silver mask turned upon the man in wrist straps.	10
11	93	There was a whimpering and a scuffling from behind me, and, to my astonishment, one of the guardsman of the palace, the tiny silver mask blazed across the left temple of his helmet, flung Ost, the conspirator, yoked and sniveling, to the foot of the throne.	10
11	113	There was a gasp from the silver-masked women in the room.	10
11	119	"Yet he is a fine beast, is he not?" asked one of the silver-masked women.	10
11	150	"I know more, more!" The silver-masked women leaned forward in their chairs.	10
11	162	"I know," said Ost, "that the leader of the conspiracy is a high person in Tharna—one who wears the silver mask, a woman".	10
11	164	"None who wear the silver mask could be disloyal to Tharna!" "Yet it is so," sniveled Ost.	10
11	173	She extended her silver-gloved hand, palm facing her body and chopped brutally down with it, as though it might have been a blade.	10
11	202	There was even a slight sound of amusement from the silver-masked figures who sat upon the steps to the throne.	10
11	255	The women of the silver masks recoiled, shuddering.	10
11	260	My senses reeled, my body, tortured by the weight of the silver yoke, now wrapped in the flames of the whip, shook with uncontrollable agony.	10
12	37	Her hand reached out and touched the silver yoke I wore.	10
12	56	"I once wore the silver mask, Warrior," said the girl.	10
12	94	"But I think he really wanted to look behind the silver masks of our women".	10
12	97	In my silver mask I followed him, and determined that he had been within the city for more than ten hours".	10
12	102	"As one who wore the silver mask," continued the girl, "it was my duty to report this man to the authorities.	10
12	107	"He pulled away my silver mask and kissed me," she said, "so that I could not even cry for help".	10
12	113	"Yet," she said, "though I had worn the silver mask, and counted myself a woman of Tharna, when he took me in his arms, I did not find the sensation unpleasant".	10
12	117	"Yes," she said, "but I do not care, for I would rather wear the camisk and have felt his kiss, than live forever behind my silver mask".	10
12	127	It was decreed that I must lose my silver mask, don the camisk and be collared, and be sent to the Great Farms to carry water to Field Slaves".	10
13	4	Already I could feel the heat of the sun soaking into the silver yoke I wore.	10
13	29	In the stands, shaded by the awnings, I saw hundreds of silver masks, the lofty women of Tharna, reclining on benches softened with cushions of colored silk—come to view the Amusements.	10
13	34	There were cries of impatience from the stands, shrill, female voices oddly contrasting with the placidity of the silver masks.	10
13	57	The silver yoke, hot from the sun, burned my neck and shoulders.	10
13	70	"The Battles of Oxen," cried one of the silver masks, and her cry was taken up by ten and then a hundred others.	10
13	93	"Let us be men," I said to my opponent, "and refuse to slay one another for the sport of those in silver masks".	10
13	111	It came like a silver and crimson storm, taking me by surprise, blinding me.	10
13	137	Beside her I saw the silver mask of Dorna the Proud.	10
13	140	Everywhere I saw the silver masks, and heard the shrill command, "Slay him!" On every side I saw the merciless gesture, the extended right hand, palm turned inwards, the cruel, downward chopping motion.	10
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.	10
13	145	As I stood there in the center of the arena, alone, silent, aloof, not seeming to hear them, those hundreds, rather thousands, who wore the silver masks understood that their will had been spurned, that this creature alone on the sand beneath them had thwarted their pleasure.	10
13	146	Standing, screaming, shaking their silver-gloved fists at me, they hurled their frustration, their invective and abuse on my head.	10
14	8	Hideous though the death might seem to the silver masks of Tharna, they did not know that I was a tarnsman, and knew these birds, their power, their ferocity; that in my way I loved them; and that as a warrior I would not find a death by tarn ignoble.	10
14	15	That I might run, that I might scream and grovel, that I might try to cover myself in the sand would surely delight the silver masks of Tharna.	10
14	30	There were cries of awe and wonder, of pleasure, from the thrilled silver masks of Tharna.	10
14	31	Slowly as the creaking platform rolled out onto the sand, drawn by its struggling slaves, yoked like oxen, I saw the tarn revealed, a black giant, hooded, its beak belted together, a great bar of silver chained to one of its legs.	10
14	32	It would not be able to fly, but it could move about, dragging the bar of silver.	10
14	40	It would not attempt to fly while hooded; indeed, I doubted that the bird would attempt to fly while it dragged its bar of silver.	10
14	112	Could it remember the Vosk, like a silver ribbon beneath its wings; could it recall fighting the blasts and upwinds of the rugged Voltai Range; could it recall Thentis, famed for its tarn flocks, Ko-ro-ba's gleaming towers, or the lights of Ar as they had blazed that night of the Planting Feast of S...	10
14	116	It shook the leg which was chained to the great silver bar.	10
14	133	The silver masks of Tharna were not simply cheated of a spectacle, but dumbfounded, confused.	10
14	157	There were cries of rage that drifted up from below as the silver masks of Tharna began to understand that they had been cheated of their prey, that the Amusements had turned out badly.	10
14	194	The awnings had been struck, but the stands were still filled, as the thousands of silver masks of Tharna waited for the golden Tatrix herself to be the first to leave that scene of the macabre amusements of the gray city.	10
14	205	On every hand, robes and regalia flying, the silver masks of Tharna which had so insolently screamed but moments before for blood fled now for their lives in panic-stricken rout, trampling one another, scratching and tearing at one another, scrambling over the benches, thrusting one another even ove...	10
16	8	On the pillar itself there were three tarns, and as many warriors, and one woman, who wore the silver mask of Tharna.	10
16	27	The woman in the silver mask approached.	10
16	42	"I shall add," she said, "the weight of five tarns in gold, a room of silver, helmets filled with jewels!" "You truly love your Tatrix," I said.	10
16	50	"Give him in addition to what he asks, the weight of ten tarns in gold, two rooms of silver and a hundred helmets filled with jewels".	10
16	100	Now, I thought, it would be free, escaping at last to some rude habitat where it might, without saddle and harness, without a silver hobble, reign as the Ubar of the Skies that it was.	10
16	122	"Because," said Dorna the Proud, and I could tell that behind that silver mask, she smiled, "you are not going back to Tharna".	10
16	126	Painfully I was wrenched into the air and, cruelly hanging by my shackled wrists, I saw the white column dropping away beneath me, and the figures upon it, two warriors, a woman in a silver mask, and the golden Tatrix of Tharna.	10
18	27	"There was a tarn, wearing the silver hobble, that was to kill him, but he freed the tarn, leaped on its back and made good his escape".	10
21	137	About his neck, in the manner of a steward, he wore a set of pierced coins threaded on a silver wire.	10
21	201	"I paid a hundred silver tarn disks for her myself!" Behind Targo the grizzled man quickly held up his fingers, opening and closing them five times.	10
21	205	Perhaps I had once been in the trade? Actually, fifty silver tarn disks was an extremely high price, and indicated the girl was probably of high caste as well as extremely beautiful.	10
22	64	"And not for the silver and jewels of Tharna?" she asked.	10
22	125	"I would not," she said, "have given up his collar for all the gold and silver in Tharna, not for all the stones of her gray walls".	10
23	109	The silver masks of Tharna, when they were able, had escaped to the portions of the city still in the command of the soldiers.	10
24	39	"Where in Tharna," I asked, "did you find Pleasure Slaves?" I had noted that the throats of the girls were encircled by silver collars.	10
24	41	"Beneath every silver mask," he averred sententiously, "there is a potential Pleasure Slave".	10
24	43	"Are these truly silver masks of Tharna?" I asked Kron, skeptically.	10
24	54	"You see the collars," said Kron, pointing to the slender graceful bands of silver each girl wore at her throat.	10
24	55	"We melted the masks and used the silver for the collar".	10
24	56	Other girls now appeared among the tables, clad only in a camisk and a silver collar, and sullenly, silently, began to serve the Kal-da which Kron had ordered.	10
24	187	Then treacherously I was set upon and sent to the Mines of Tharna, and Dorna the Proud and Thorn, this Captain, seized Lara, your Tatrix, and sold her into slavery—sold her to the slaver Targo, whose camp is now at the Fair of En'Kara, sold her for the sum of fifty silver tarn disks!" "What h...	10
24	189	"Dorna the Proud wears a necklace of fifty silver tarn disks!" "Dorna the Proud is bold indeed," I cried, "to flaunt the very coins whereby her rival—your true Tatrix—was delivered into the chains of a slave girl!" There was a mutter of indignation, some angry shouts from the barricade...	10
24	262	About her neck was a necklace of silver tarn disks.	10
25	67	Inside the basket was a woman whose carriage and figure I knew to be that of Dorna the Proud, though she now wore only a simple silver mask of Tharna.	10
25	93	The impassive silver mask was fastened on me and I sensed that the dark eyes behind it blazed with indescribable hatred.	10
25	119	It had been his doom to care for a silver mask.	10
25	124	Resourceful as she was, even carrying riches as she must be, she was still only a woman and, on Gor, even a silver mask needs the sword of a man to protect her.	10
25	132	The silver mask of Dorna the Proud turned on Lara, who wore no mask, no veil.	10
25	141	Her silver-gloved hands clenched in fury upon the one-strap and beneath those shimmering gauntlets I knew the knuckles, drained of blood, were white with rage.	10
25	144	"Do not forget Dorna the Proud, for we have an account to settle!" The hands in their gloves of silver jerked back savagely on the one-strap and the wings of the tarn burst into flight.	10
25	147	Once the sun flashed upon that silver mask.	10
26	18	From this amnesty only the silver masks of Tharna were excepted.	10
26	19	Blood was high in the streets of Tharna after the revolt and angry men, both rebels and defenders, joined in the brutal hunt for silver masks.	10
26	22	Many silver masks were discovered hiding in obscure chambers in the palace itself and the dungeons below the palace were soon filled with chains of fair, lamenting prisoners.	10
26	24	Some silver masks were discovered even in the sewers beneath the city and these were driven by giant, leashed urts through the long tubes until they crowded the wire capture nets set at the openings of the sewers.	10
26	25	Other Silver Masks had taken refuge in the mountains beyond the walls and these were hunted like sleen by converging rings of irate peasants, who drove them into the center of their hunting circles, whence, unmasked and bound, they were herded to the city to meet their fate.	10
26	26	Most of the silver masks however, when it was understood their battle had been lost and the laws of Tharna were irrevocably shattered, came of their own free will into the streets and submitted themselves in the traditional fashion of the captive Gorean female, kneeling, lowering the head, and lifti...	10
26	40	On market day I saw a peasant, his sack of Sa-Tarna meal on his back, whose sandals were tied with silver straps.	10
26	42	It is perhaps a small thing to see on the belt of an artisan a silver buckle of the style worn in mountainous Thentis or to note the delicacy of dried eels from Port Kar in the marketplace, but these things, small though they are, speak to me of a new Tharna.	10
26	50	On the twentieth day following peace in Tharna the fate of the silver masks was determined.	10
26	53	They knelt before her—once proud silver masks, now terrified and helpless captives—on the same sparkling sand that had so often been stained with the blood of the men of Tharna.	10
26	56	I do not know that my own decision would have been so harsh, but I admit that Lara knew her city and its silver masks better than I.	10
26	62	Also it should be noted that it was not realistic to offer the silver masks the alternative of exile, for that would simply have been to condemn them to violent death or foreign enslavement.	10
26	64	Each silver mask would have six months in which she would be free to live within the city and be fed at the common tables, much as before the revolt.	10
26	66	If he does not accept her as a Free Companion—and few men of Tharna will be in a mood to extend the privileges of Free Companionship to a silver mask—he may then, without further ado, simply collar her as his slave, or if he wishes he may reject her completely.	10
26	70	In effect, considering the temper of the men of Tharna, Lara's judgment gives the silver masks the opportunity, for a time, to choose a master, or after that time to be themselves chosen as a slave girl.	10
26	71	Thus each silver mask will in time belong to a beast, though at first she is given some opportunity to determine whose yellow cords she will feel, on whose rug the ceremony of submission will take place.	10
26	72	Perhaps Lara understood, as I did not, that women such as silver masks must be taught love, and can learn it only from a master.	10
26	81	Not being of the city, she is exempted from the strictures imposed on the silver masks.	10
26	91	"And should I ever again be tempted to be proud or cruel," she said, a smile in her voice, "I shall merely remind myself that I was once sold for fifty silver tarn disks—and that a warrior once purchased me for only a scabbard and a helmet".	10

Book 3. (47 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
2	22	On the pedestal there was a silver bowl, filled with water, a vial of oil and a towel.	10
8	142	If the issue was grain, of course, there would be little point in going to Thentis, for she imports her own, but her primary wealth, her tarn flocks, is not negligible, and she also possesses silver, though her mines are not as rich as those of Tharna.	10
27	239	"Bring me a silver tube," he said.	10
27	240	"A silver tube to kill only a Mul?" asked the Priest-King.	10
27	279	"We will bring silver tubes," said Sarm.	10
28	2	After the death of the Mother, Sarm and those who followed him, most of the Priest-Kings for he was First Born, fled from the chamber to fetch, as it was said, silver tubes.	10
28	6	Perhaps there were only a hundred Priest-Kings who rallied to the call of Misk and among them there were no more than a dozen silver tubes.	10
28	10	On the second day of the second week of battle, after the forces of Sarm had withdrawn, I, armed with sword and silver tube, mounted a transportation disk and swept through the no man's land of unoccupied tunnels toward the Vivarium.	10
28	163	The battle would, I supposed, given the undoubted stores of food available to Sarm and his forces, ultimately hinge on the firepower of the silver tubes, of which Misk's side had few, but still I conjectured that the skills and courage of former Muls might yet play their part in the fierce issues to...	10
28	164	* * * * As Al-Ka had predicted, the energy bulbs in the Nest, except where they had actually been destroyed by the fire of Sarm's silver tubes, came on again.	10
28	167	Intrigued by the hardness of the cage plastic encountered in the Vivarium I spoke to Misk and he and I, together with other Priest-Kings and humans, armored a fleet of transportation disks, which would be extremely effective if a silver tube were mounted in them and which, even if not armed, might y...	10
28	168	The fiery blasts of the silver tubes would wither and wrinkle the plastic but unless the exposure were rather lengthy they could not penetrate it.	10
28	173	For example, at different times, returning from a raid, perhaps bringing another captured silver tube, no longer needed by one of Sarm's slain cohorts, I would find myself unremarked even by Misk though I might stand but feet from him.	10
28	175	Originally some of them had objected to this but after a few had almost stepped on the silent Gur Carriers, or wandered unbeknownst beneath them, some of the spidery humanoids being armed perhaps with silver tubes, their opinions changed and they became zealous to have the letter painted boldly and ...	10
28	181	Another time a Priest-King braved the fire of a dozen silver tubes to rescue one of the spidery Gur Carriers who had been injured.	10
28	184	Accordingly he set about systematically exterminating those who fell within the ranges of his silver tubes and this drove many Muls, who would undoubtedly have served him, and well, into Misk's camp.	10
28	221	There were controls in the forward portion of the ship and ports about the sides for silver tubes.	10
28	239	He might intellectually recognize that he must slay but perhaps he simply could not have pressed the firing switch of the silver tube.	10
28	243	The fire of silver tubes could damage and in time destroy the ship but yet its cage plastic offered considerable protection to its crew who might, with some degree of safety, mete out destruction to all that crossed its path.	10
29	41	I knew nothing of the armament of the ships of Sarm and I knew I had only the silver tube in my own craft, a weapon far outclassed in destructive potential by the gravitational disrupters mounted in the ships of Sarm.	10
29	45	I took the lead ship into my sights and dropped toward it, narrowing the range to increase the effectiveness of the silver tube.	10
29	56	While they seemed to hang undecided in space, almost like puzzled cells in a droplet of water, I dove again, and the third ship broke apart as though it were a toy beneath a falling cutlass of fire, and I climbed once more, the flame of the silver tube stabbing ahead of me, hitting the fourth ship a...	10
29	78	With grim decision I pressed the firing switch of the silver tube and there was a shattering burst of fire and I heard and felt branches of steel and tubing flying back against my armored transportation disk.	10
29	91	The silver tube might be draining its power but it was still a fearsome weapon against an exposed enemy.	10
29	96	The silver tube still lay intact in the firing port but its power was so considerably reduced that it was no longer a menace to the ships of Sarm.	10
29	116	Then without warning it seemed the stern of my craft vanished and I felt the deck suddenly give way and as half of the craft vanished in powder and the other half crumbled to the buildings below I seized the silver tube from the firing port and leaped downward to the back of the enemy ship.	10
29	120	I thrust the silver tube to the hinges on the hatch and pressed the firing switch.	10
29	123	I wrenched the hatch open and it swung wildly out from its locked side and suddenly I hung there, one hand on the rim, one hand on the silver tube, as the ship lay on its side in the air.	10
29	125	The ship was now on its back and I was standing inside on its ceiling and then the ship righted itself and I found the silver tube again.	10
29	128	I pressed the firing switch of the silver tube and it gave forth with a short, abortive scorching blast and was cold, but the golden body of the Priest-King blackened and, half sliced through, reeled against the wall and fell at my feet.	10
29	149	There, to my pleasure, I found two silver tubes, fully charged.	10
29	167	I spun, the silver tube ready.	10
30	61	The creature Parp spent a great deal of time in the vicinity, puffing on that small pipe, keeping it lit interminably with the tiny silver lighter which I had once mistaken for a weapon.	10
30	195	Once I heard the hiss of silver tubes not more than a few hundred yards away.	10
31	10	In spite of the agreement about arms, Sarm hung from the back of his translator strap, invisible from the front, a silver tube.	10
31	21	When he was still out of range of the silver tube of Sarm but close enough, I hoped, to be able to hear me, I ran forward, throwing my hands high.	10
31	31	I stood ready now to receive the blast of Sarm's silver tube which he had whipped from its place of concealment and trained on my breast.	10
31	32	"Very well," said Sarm, "let it be the silver tube".	10
31	46	Sarm hurled the silver tube at my head and I ducked and heard it clatter across the tiles of the plaza for perhaps a hundred yards.	10
31	119	I had scarcely thrust up the latch when a burst of fire from a silver tube scorched the door over my head.	10
31	126	Then Sarm seemed to lose interest in me, perhaps thinking I had been slain, more likely to conserve the charge in the silver tube for more important matters, for he then began, methodically, to fire at the paneling across from the dome, destroying one area after another.	10
31	131	I knew that somehow I must try to stop Sarm but what could I do? He was armed with a silver tube and I with nothing but the steel of a Gorean sword.	10
31	137	Then suddenly he wheeled and saw me and seemed startled but then the silver tube flew up and I threw myself rolling back down the walkway, the steel stairs bubbling away following me.	10
31	151	I saw him toss the silver tube away, and saw it fall through one of the great holes he had blasted in the globe and disappear in the violent, bubbling purple mass seething below.	10
32	268	At last he wadded enough in for the pressure to hold it tight and, using the silver lighter, sucked a stream of flame into the bowl.	10
32	323	Parp stood framed in the doorway holding that tiny silver lighter with which it seemed I had seen him fumble and light his pipe a thousand times, that small cylinder I had once mistaken for a weapon.	10
34	200	These men of Tharna, mostly small tradesmen in silver, had come for the autumn fair, the Fair of Se'Var, which was just being set up at the time of the gravitational lessening.	10

11	30	He took from a silken pouch lying before him on the palanquin a small glass, with glass-petal edges like a flower, mounted on a silver stem about which curled silver leaves.	10
7	12	About Kutaituchik there were piled various goods, mostly vessels of precious metal and strings and piles of jewels; there was silk there from Tyros; silver from Thentis and Tharna; tapestries from the mills of Ar; wines from Cos; dates from the city of Tor.	10
8	402	"If you win for us," Albrecht said to her, grinning down from the saddle of the kaiila, "this night you will be given a silver bracelet and five yards of scarlet silk".	10
8	423	"But if so?" "Then," said she, "I will give you a golden ring and a silver cup".	10
8	428	"I do not want your golden ring and silver cup," I said.	10
9	70	On the pack animals were strapped boxes of precious plate, gems, silver vessels, tangles of jewelry, mirrors, rings, combs, and golden tarn disks, stamped with the signs of a dozen cities.	10
