2	151	"Yes," said my father at last, "I must speak to you of Priest-Kings".	10
2	153	"But let me begin in my own way, that you may better understand the nature of that whereof I speak".	10
2	195	They were, so to speak, absentee divinities, existent but remote, not to be bothered with the fears and turmoil of the mortals beyond their mountains.	10

1	59	We talked of dozens of things, but neither of us mentioned his abrupt response to my greeting, nor did we speak of those mysterious months in which he had disappeared in the mountains of New Hampshire.	10
1	62	I felt that the time would come when Cabot would speak to me of the mountains but that he himself would have to choose that time.	10
1	65	I wondered upon occasion why Cabot did not speak to me more openly on certain matters, why he so jealously guarded the mystery of those months in which he had been absent from the college.	10
1	66	I now know why he did not speak sooner.	10
2	50	Yet to speak of a symbol is to fall short of the mark.	10

5	40	"Do you speak for the Priest-Kings?" I asked.	10
5	43	It was common, of course, for Initiates to claim to speak for the Priest-Kings; indeed, it was presumably the calling of their caste to interpret the will of the Priest-Kings to men.	10

5	76	He seemed to shake with pain, his hands pressed against his head, trying to speak to me, trying to tell me something.	10
5	99	It was an ugly death—his for having tried to speak to me, for having tried to tell me what was in his heart.	10
6	8	And I speculate that the fairs likewise do their bit toward stabilizing the dialects of Gor, which might otherwise in a few generations have diverged to the point of being mutually unintelligible—for the Goreans do have this in common, their mother tongue in all its hundred permutations, whic...	10
6	31	I rejoiced that in at least one city on Gor the free women were not expected to wear the Robes of Concealment, confine their activities largely to their own quarters, and speak only to their blood relatives and, eventually, the Free Companion.	10

9	123	"Do we not speak the Language?" I asked, referring to the beautiful mother tongue spoken in common by most of the Gorean cities.	10
9	126	"Then why do you not speak it?" I challenged.	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
16	61	Imperiously, not deigning to speak to me, she gestured to the gloves of gold which I had placed in my belt.	10
18	55	Then I began to encourage them to speak to one another, and to call one another by their names, and their cities, and though there were men of different cities there, they shared the same chain and trough, and they accepted one another.	10

25	137	"The Tharna of which you speak," said Lara, "no longer exists".	10
26	13	But let me now speak of Tharna.	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	107	But I go to the Sardar for more than truth; foremost in my brain there burns, like an imperative of steel, the cry for blood-vengeance, mine by sword-right, mine by the affinities of blood and caste and city, mine for I am one pledged to avenge a vanished people, fallen walls and towers, a city frow...	10
26	108	I speak as though my frail arm might avail against the power of Priest-Kings.	10

2	12	"Do you wish to speak to Priest-Kings?" he asked.	10

6	131	She seemed unwilling to speak further.	10
6	133	I held her shoulders more firmly and shook her to force her to speak.	10
6	141	She could hardly speak.	10
7	41	To the Goreans it is always, simply, The Language, as though there were no others, and those who do not speak it are regarded immediately as barbarians.	10
8	183	"Let us not speak of Priest-Kings," said the girl.	10
9	33	I wondered how I should speak to her, for I must disabuse her of the illusion that there could be love between us.	10

14	128	After I had combed them for a bit, I sensed he was ready to speak.	10
14	156	I would learn later, however, that this simple fact was indeed almost incomprehensible to Priest-Kings, and that Misk, though he readily accepted it as a fact in his mind, could not bring himself, so to speak, in the furthest reaches of his heart to acknowledge it as true, for were not both he and S...	10

16	177	"You speak of 'we'?" "Yes," said Misk.	10
16	210	I was silent and Misk did not speak and the only noise in that paneled metallic laboratory that was the cradle of a Priest-King was the soft crackle of the blue torch I held.	10

18	14	"You speak much alike," I said.	10
20	40	"We have been instructed not to speak to you," said Mul-Al-Ka.	10
20	151	I started and did not speak.	10

25	151	"Are you, Vika of Treve," I asked, "higher than she of whom you speak, the lowest tavern slave in Ar?" Her answer astounded me.	10
25	169	"Speak, Slave Girl," I said.	10
25	171	The words were spoken very softly, very slowly, haltingly, painfully, and it must have cost the proud girl of Treve much to speak them.	10
27	7	I had not walked far from the Vivarium before I was able to regather my general directions in the Nest and, as I walked impatiently along, I spied a transportation disk docked, so to speak, hovering on its cushion of gas, outside one of the tall steel portals of the Hall of Commissaries.	10
27	52	The Priest-King seemed relieved to hear me speak.	10
27	293	"I would speak," she said, "with him who saved my child".	10
27	294	It was strange to me to hear her speak of the powerful, golden creature Misk in such a way.	10
28	34	I saw that the creatures above me, whom I shall now speak of as Gur Carriers, for they were no longer Muls, still carried their sacks of golden leather.	10
28	113	But she was a slave girl and dare not speak.	10
30	168	The latter, of course, terrified, bewildered, would be of little service themselves, but they were offered as inducements to the males of Misk's forces to encourage their desertion; the girls were, so to speak, a bounty for treachery, and since the beauty of Chamber Slaves was well known in the Nest...	10
30	190	But not long after this took place other Priest-Kings, startled by the decision of Kusk, began to speak of ending the War, and some others too began to cross the lines.	10
33	56	"I wish to speak!" I cried.	10
33	86	"Now the Priest-Kings blow the breath of my sacrifice as a blessing upon you, letting it travel to the ends of Gor to speak of their wisdom and mercy!" There was a great cry of joy from the crowd and shouts of gratitude to the Priest-Kings.	10
33	119	Who would believe them? Who would take the word of scattered vagrants against the word of the mighty Caste of Initiates? And, if he did believe them, who would dare to speak out that he did so? The Initiates, it seemed, had conquered.	10
33	131	Sensing that he wished to speak to me, I asked Vika to withdraw somewhat, and she did so.	10
33	139	"Speak to me," I said.	10
33	150	"We speak not to man's heart," said Om, "but only to his fear.	10
33	151	We do not speak of love and courage, and loyalty and nobility—but of practice and observance and the punishment of the Priest-Kings—for if we so spoke, it would be that much harder for man to grow beyond us.	10
34	58	"But," said Matthew Cabot, "I think it would be wise to speak little of these matters".	10
34	195	Had I not lived these things, did I not know whereof I speak, I ask myself if I—Tarl Cabot himself—would accept them, and I tell myself frankly, in all likelihood, No.	10
35	133	"But in the end," said he, "life is as real as death and there will be a return of the ultimate rhythms, and a new explosion will cast forth the primitive particles and we shall have another turn of the wheel, and someday, sometime, in eons which defy the calculations even of Priest-Kings, there may...	10

7	57	"Speak," I said to her.	10
7	74	Although there were risks involved I tried to translate as exactly as I could, letting Miss Cardwell speak as she would, though her words must often have sounded fantastic to the Tuchuks, for it was largely of a world alien to them that she spoke—a world not of autonomous cities but of huge n...	10

5	234	I questioned Misk on this, but he seemed evasive, and I gather he did not wish to speak further to me on the matter, so, as he wished, I did not speak more of it.	10
