10 |

So now the tarn was gone, returned to his natural wild state, the Home Stone was in the saddle pack, and I had failed, and the daughter of the Ubar had failed, and we stood facing one another on a green knoll in the swamp forest of Ar. |
10 |
| 7 | 48 |

The common soldier, setting the crossbow on the ground, strode to the daughter of the Ubar, who stood as though stunned, her face drained of color. |
10 |
| 8 | 3 |
The soldier, beginning at the high, ornate collar of the girl's robes, began to break the braided loops, ripping them loose from their hooks; methodically he tore her robes apart and pulled them down and over her shoulders; in half a dozen tugs the heavy layers of her garments had been jerked downwa... |
10 |
| 8 | 46 |
She stepped from the pile of filthy garments at her feet and stood proudly among the trees, the wind slightly moving her long dark hair. |

Talena stood up. |
10 |
| 11 | 78 |
Instead, she stood before me in the diaphanous, scarlet dancing silks of Gor. |
10 |
| 15 | 124 |
Kazrak and I stood to one side. |
10 |
| 16 | 147 |
Had she been injured or drugged? Did she not recognize me? I stood before the cage and lifted my helmet from my head. |
10 |
| 18 | 129 |
I stood back, partly shielding myself with the gate. |
10 |
| 18 | 142 |

| 14 | 55 |
Yet it was perhaps more, for as I stood by the bird, I felt almost as though I had come home to Ko-ro-ba, as though I stood here now with something in this gray, hostile city that knew me and mine, that had looked upon the Towers of the Morning, and had spread its wings above the glistening cylinder... |
10 |
| 1 | 127 |
Outside the bar we stood in the snow, not speaking. |
10 |
| 2 | 5 |
I stood so for some minutes, to let each sense and nerve drink in the wonder of my return. |
10 |
| 3 | 48 |
The shaggy creature, broad, powerful, monstrous in the proud deformation of his craft, stood before me, his feet planted firmly on the road. |
10 |
| 4 | 2 |
It was a nightmarish journey, and a foolish one, trying to rush on through the night to find my city, bruising, falling, scraping myself in the darkness, yet driven on by such a torment of doubt and apprehension that I could allow myself no rest until I stood again on the lofty bridges of Ko-ro-ba. |
10 |
| 4 | 35 |
Perhaps I stood thus for six or seven minutes. |
10 |
| 4 | 55 |
Why were the lanterns not hung on the lofty bridges? Why were the lamps of a hundred colors and flames not lit in the compartments of the city, telling in the lamp codes of Gor of talk, of drinking, of love? Why were the huge beacons on the wall not burning, not summoning Ko-ro-ba's far-roving tarns... |
10 |
| 4 | 72 |
I continued forward and stood where it had struck. |
10 |
| 4 | 94 |
"Did you, Oh Dark Brother of the Night, think to keep me from Ko-ro-ba?" How absurd it seemed to me that a mere sleen should have stood between me and my city. |
10 |
| 4 | 108 |
I stood up, and wiped the spear as well as I could on the fur of the sleen. |
10 |
| 5 | 13 |
And as my cry parted from my lips there was a great flash of lightning and the valley between the hills stood stark and white and I saw the valley was empty. |
10 |
| 5 | 22 |
He stood with his arms in his robe, tall on the road, watching me. |
10 |
| 5 | 112 |
I stood beside the grave, and drew my sword. |
10 |
| 5 | 117 |
I lifted the sword toward the valley where Ko-ro-ba had stood. |
10 |
| 6 | 145 |

10 |

10 |
| 7 | 79 |
We four stood together, not speaking. |
10 |
| 9 | 58 |
I stood before the great gate of Tharna. |
10 |
| 9 | 154 |
Even the proprietor slept, his head across his folded arms on the counter, behind which stood the great Kal-da brewing pots, at last empty and cold. |
10 |
| 9 | 161 |
Behind him in their blue helmets stood three others. |
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 | 22 |
One such helmeted warrior stood near the foot of the throne. |
10 |
| 11 | 26 |
No one need tell me that I stood in the presence of Lara, Tatrix of Tharna. |
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 | 59 |
"Has he still his tongue?" asked the Tatrix of the man with the wrist straps, who stood behind me. |
10 |
| 11 | 249 |
Shaking with fury she stood before me, over me, in her golden robes and mask. |
10 |
| 11 | 263 |
She ran up the steps and turned only when she stood at last before her throne. |
10 |
| 13 | 19 |
The spear struck me, too, again and again, in the back and across the shoulders, but I stood, somehow strong in the yoke, like an ox. |
10 |
| 13 | 58 |
As we stood before the wall I heard the laughter of the Tatrix, and my vision blackened with rage. |
10 |
| 13 | 142 |
I stood there, ankle deep in the sand, covered with sweat and sand, my back open from the lash of the race, my side torn from the driving horn of Kron's yoke. |
10 |
| 13 | 143 |
I stood unmoving. |
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 | 152 |
Once more I stood beneath the golden mask of the Tatrix. |
10 |
| 14 | 47 |
I stood near the platform now. |
10 |
| 14 | 53 |
As I stood beside the bird, I felt happy, though I knew it was intended to be my executioner. |
10 |
| 14 | 85 |
I stood in the sand, away from the platform, and watched the ticklish business of unhooding the tarn. |
10 |
| 14 | 106 |
I leaped to the heavy wooden platform on which it stood. |
10 |
| 14 | 206 |
In one instant that must have been the most terrifying in her life, the Tatrix stood alone, looking up, deserted by all, on the steps before her golden throne in the midst of tumbled cushions and trays of candies and sweetmeats. |
10 |
| 14 | 212 |
And so for an instant stood the tarn, its head and beak extended, its wings snapping, its prey locked in its grasp, and uttered the terrifying capture scream of the tarn, at once a scream of victory, and of challenge. |
10 |
| 15 | 115 |
She ran to the wall, and stood, her back to me. |
10 |
| 15 | 138 |
It was important to my plans to convince her that she stood in jeopardy, that I would dare to put her in a camisk and collar. |
10 |
| 15 | 145 |
I could tell she was no longer confident of where she stood. |
10 |
| 15 | 242 |
While I fed on the tarn's gift, the Tatrix stood near the edge of the rocky shelf, gazing out on the meadow of talenders. |
10 |
| 16 | 109 |
His fellow stood near me, among the tarns, perhaps to watch me, perhaps to steady and soothe the excitable giants. |
10 |
| 16 | 115 |
The Tatrix walked across the pillar, regal in those tattered robes, and stood over me. |
10 |
| 16 | 123 |
The Tatrix stood as if stunned, not understanding. |
10 |
| 17 | 122 |
Sullenly, while the Whip Slave stood by and watched, angry, fearful, Ost distributed the poor fare that lay in the trough. |
10 |
| 18 | 126 |
With a rattle of chains a small man with a wisp of straw-colored hair across his forehead snaked past the others and stood before me. |
10 |
| 18 | 144 |
Then the first man on the chain supported his own weight, and the second, chains rattling, began to ascend the vertical tunnel, supported by he who was third, who now stood on the back of the fourth man, and so it continued. |
10 |
| 19 | 43 |
At last we stood by the Central Shaft. |
10 |
| 19 | 62 |
I stood upon the brink of the great shaft and felt the wind of the cold night upon me. |
10 |
| 19 | 97 |
I stood there and watched the slaves depart, silently now, like shadows, forsaking the precincts of the mines to seek their outlaw fortunes, their destinies beyond the laws and traditions of their cities. |
10 |
| 19 | 102 |
The squat giant of the Caste of Metal Workers stood with his feet planted wide. |
10 |
| 19 | 135 |
Andreas of the Caste of Poets stood in torment before me, agony in his eyes. |
10 |
| 20 | 27 |
In the bleak light the ruin of the night stood revealed in stark, brutal lucidity. |
10 |
| 20 | 46 |
I wondered too at her treachery, her strange hatred of me, for somehow it seemed not to fit well with the lonely girl on the ledge, who had stood quietly gazing at the field of talenders while a warrior had gorged himself on the kill of his tarn. |
10 |
| 21 | 128 |
The minion of the slaver stood up and regarded me curiously. |
10 |
| 21 | 142 |
"Good day, Master," smiled Targo, bowing as well as he could from the waist, hastily taking account of the unlikely stranger who stood before him. |
10 |
| 21 | 150 |
What could I tell this merchant, this specialist in the traffic of flesh, this businessman who stood well within the ancient traditions and practices of his trade? Could I tell him that I did not wish the girl to be hurt? He would have thought me a mad man. |
10 |
| 22 | 6 |
On one side of the tent there stood, with its straps, a Pleasure Rack. |
10 |
| 22 | 32 |
She stood bravely before me, yet so helpless, so much at my mercy. |
10 |
| 22 | 33 |
She might have stood thus before a larl in the Voltai. |
10 |
| 22 | 61 |
She stood within my arms, her tear-filled eyes lifted to mine. |
10 |
| 22 | 79 |
She stood boldly before me. |
10 |
| 22 | 154 |
Remember you stood against me. |
10 |
| 23 | 1 |
Return to Tharna Outside the camp of Targo, Lara and I climbed a small hill and stood on its crest. |
10 |
| 23 | 5 |
Even as we stood on the hill I could hear the slow ringing of a heavy, hollow tube of metal, which betokened that the black gate had opened. |
10 |
| 23 | 6 |
The sad, slow sound reached the hillock on which we stood. |
10 |
| 23 | 7 |
Lara stood beside me, clad as a free woman but not in the Robes of Concealment. |
10 |
| 23 | 22 |
Yet though I could not repress my admiration of this girl and the transformation which had been wrought in her from the cold Tatrix of Tharna to the humiliated slave to the glorious creature who now stood beside me my thoughts were mostly in the Sardar, for I knew that I had not yet kept my appointm... |
10 |
| 23 | 37 |
How proudly and yet how marvelously she stood beside me. |
10 |
| 23 | 212 |
She would probably be slain against the wall by which she stood. |
10 |
| 24 | 36 |
Kron clapped his hands again and to my surprise there was a sudden sound of bells and four terrified girls, obviously chosen for their beauty and grace, stood before our table clad only in the scarlet dancing silks of Gor. |
10 |
| 24 | 124 |
Lara, her back graceful and straight, set down the pot of Kal-da and came and stood before Kron. |
10 |
| 24 | 126 |
And Kron looked on the beautiful girl who stood before him with such grace and dignity, with no trace of pride or cruelty, or fear. |
10 |
| 24 | 137 |
The rampart was thrown between the walls where they stood at perhaps fifty yards from each other. |
10 |
| 24 | 155 |
When at last I stood unslain on the black cobblestones at the foot of the double rampart I knew that though Dorna the Proud might rule in Tharna, though it might be she who sat upon the golden throne of the city, that it was the word of a warrior that ruled on those ramparts above me. |
10 |
| 24 | 263 |
On the steps before the throne there stood a warrior, fully armed, who held in his hands the blue helmet of his city. |
10 |
| 25 | 92 |
The carrying basket had been attached and the woman stood in the basket, the reins in her hands. |
10 |
| 25 | 131 |
I looked behind me and I could see that Lara now stood near, watching Dorna, and that behind her Kron and Andreas, followed by Linna, and rebels and soldiers, had ascended to the roof. |
10 |
| 26 | 28 |
I myself had stood at the foot of the steps to the golden throne when Lara had commanded that the giant mask of gold which hung behind it be pried by spears from the wall and cast to the floor at our feet. |

The second girl was tall, fragile and willowy, with slender ankles and large, hurt eyes; she had dark, curling hair that fell about her shoulders and stood out against the white of her garment; she may have been of High Caste; without speaking to her it would be hard to tell; even then it might be d... |
10 |
| 25 | 71 |
I stood up then unsteadily and walked beneath the shaft and stood there with my head back drawing in the welcome fresh air that blew down towards me. |
10 |
| 28 | 75 |
Yet as she stood there she seemed also to be frightened and to my surprise she dared not approach the door though it now stood open. |
10 |
| 32 | 65 |
They met perhaps a hundred yards from where I stood and I saw the Priest-King place a foreleg on the shoulder of each and together they stood and waited for the final crumbling of the Nest. |
10 |
| 2 | 6 |
At last I stood before the towering gate of black logs, bound with its wide bands of brass. |
10 |
| 2 | 24 |
On each side of the huge gate there stood a great windlass and chain, and to each windlass a gang of blinded slaves was manacled. |
10 |
| 3 | 4 |
One was thrown on its back, so violent was its rush, and the other stood wildly for a moment towering over me like a rearing giant stallion, its huge claws slashing the air, fighting the collar that held it from me. |
10 |
| 3 | 54 |
I carefully regarded the small, rotund gentleman who stood framed so incongruously in the massive stone portal. |
10 |
| 4 | 45 |
Tapping the floor with the butt of my spear, I finally stood where he had directed. |
10 |
| 4 | 123 |
Abruptly Parp stood up, his face white. |
10 |
| 4 | 130 |
I stood without speaking. |
10 |
| 4 | 136 |
Then again came the sound of that great unseen gong, that distant sound, dull, penetrating, reverberating even in the vastness of the great hall in which we stood. |
10 |
| 4 | 140 |
Wary of the tiled circle I traced its perimeter until I stood behind the throne. |
10 |
| 4 | 142 |
I walked the full ambit of the circle until I stood once more before the throne. |
10 |
| 5 | 247 |
There stood before me insolently the beautiful, predatory girl who had come so long ago to the Sardar to exploit Priest-Kings. |
10 |
| 7 | 4 |
I could see her white garment and sense the pale beauty of her skin as she stood back from the portal in the semidarkened chamber. |
10 |
| 7 | 69 |
On another night I might explore further, for there were other passageways, other portals visible from where I stood. |
10 |
| 7 | 107 |
Angrily I stood alone in the passageway in the dimmed light of its energy bulbs, my unused sword grasped futilely in my hand. |
10 |
| 8 | 197 |
It was truly a woman of Treve who stood before me now. |
10 |
| 8 | 203 |
Insolently she approached me, slowly, gracefully, as silken in her menace as the she-larl, and then to my astonishment when she stood before me, she knelt, her hands on her thighs, her knees in the position of the Pleasure Slave, and dropped her head in scornful submission. |
10 |
| 9 | 168 |
I regarded the woman who stood before me, the sullen eyes, the pouting lips, the collar, the brand. |
10 |
| 9 | 231 |
It stood framed in the doorway. |
10 |
| 9 | 241 |
I could not conjecture the nature of the creature's experience but I knew that I stood within the center of its sensory field. |
10 |
| 9 | 243 |
I sensed a new set of odors, secreted by what stood before me. |
10 |
| 9 | 250 |
A moment after I spoke I sensed another set of odors, which emanated doubtless from the device which hung about the neck of what stood before me. |
10 |
| 10 | 59 |
In the depths of this canyon and on the terraces that mounted its sides were innumerable structures, largely geometrical solids—cones, cylinders, lofty cubes, domes, spheres and such—of various sizes, colors and illuminations, many of which even towered to the level of the platform whe... |
10 |
| 10 | 60 |
I stood on the platform, my hands clenched on the railing, staggered by what I saw. |
10 |
| 11 | 1 |
Sarm the Priest-King I turned from the railing to observe the great ramp which for pasangs in a great spiral approached the platform on which I stood. |
10 |
| 11 | 80 |
He now stood almost forty feet from me. |
10 |
| 11 | 120 |
I did so, and the two Priest-Kings stepped delicately onto the disk to join me, in such a way that one stood on each side and slightly behind me. |
10 |
| 12 | 47 |
Sarm, who stood in the long room on an oval dais, seemed satisfied with this transaction. |
10 |
| 12 | 84 |
Sarm then turned from me and with his left, forward supporting appendage depressed a recessed button in the dais on which he stood. |
10 |
| 12 | 86 |
At a signal from Sarm they leaped to their feet and stood alertly beside the dais, their feet spread, their heads high, their arms folded. |
10 |
| 12 | 194 |
I looked up at Sarm and Misk, who, observing, stood in that slightly inclined, infuriatingly still posture. |
10 |
| 12 | 228 |
Once more the two slaves, this time apparently without emotion, folded their arms and stood, legs apart, beside the dais. |
10 |
| 15 | 16 |
In a moment he stood beside me. |
10 |
| 16 | 13 |
I turned in rage on the tall, gentle creature who stood, unmoving, behind that strange table and that still form of the young Priest-King. |
10 |
| 17 | 6 |
I rubbed my eyes and stood up, and through the transparent plastic of the case I saw a Priest-King. |
10 |
| 17 | 54 |
If these tactics were calculated to have some effect on Sarm, I think they most miserably failed of that effect, for during the entire time I took, which was considerable, he stood motionless in the room, save for an occasional movement of his antennae, frozen in that maddening, immobile but alert p... |
10 |
| 17 | 134 |
When it was almost there the man stood up and holding the pipe in both hands trained it at a nearby rock. |
10 |

Although they stood on a transportation disk and this would customarily have been enough to delight both of them, today, and for good reason as I recognized, neither of them looked particularly pleased. |
10 |
| 20 | 92 |
The attendant who stood on the disk then, to her horror, pushed back the hood of her garment and the ornate, beautiful veils that masked her features, face-stripping her as casually as one might remove a scarf. |
10 |
| 21 | 59 |
The strange procession to and fro up the walls and across the ceiling to Priest-Kings and back down to the floor continued for more than an hour, during which time the Muls who stood below, some of them having returned with a full vessel, never ceased to chant their mournful paean. |
10 |
| 21 | 62 |
Finally the last of the unusual Muls stood below on the stone flooring. |
10 |
| 22 | 22 |
In a moment I stood by Misk's side. |
10 |
| 22 | 77 |
Then, almost tenderly, Misk reached out with one foreleg and gathered me from the bar on which I stood. |
10 |
| 22 | 81 |
Misk, the Muls and I now stood on the stone floor of the chamber near the door. |
10 |
| 22 | 89 |
The two Muls stood back aghast. |
10 |
| 22 | 149 |
Misk and I stood alone. |
10 |
| 24 | 12 |
I stood before her body, my sword drawn. |
10 |
| 24 | 31 |
I slipped my sword into its sheath and knelt beside Vika's body, not taking my eyes off the creature who stood about four yards distant. |
10 |
| 24 | 38 |
With my right hand I lifted Vika to my shoulder and stood up. |
10 |
| 25 | 127 |
I stood to one side, back a bit from the grille so as not to be observed from the outside, and watched her. |
10 |
| 26 | 79 |
I heard her voice from over her shoulder and I could see her reflection in the side of the plastic case before which she stood. |
10 |
| 26 | 142 |
She stood back against the rear of the case scarcely able to stand. |
10 |
| 26 | 208 |
She stood, very much alone, in the center of the smooth plastic case, numb, not moving. |
10 |
| 27 | 37 |
There was Nest Trust between us and accordingly, as a warrior and a man, I stood ready to give my life for him. |
10 |
| 27 | 70 |
The Priest-Kings stood motionless in great circling, tiered rows which spread concentrically outward as though from a stage in an ancient theater. |
10 |
| 27 | 114 |
But on the platform before which these golden creatures stood there lay the Mother, perhaps blind, almost insensate, the large, feeble thing they revered, weak, brownish, withered, the huge worn body at last wrinkled and empty. |
10 |
| 27 | 119 |
The rows of the Priest-Kings separated forming an aisle down the middle of the chamber and the Priest-Kings now stood facing this aisle, and down the aisle together came Sarm and Misk. |
10 |
| 27 | 134 |
Misk stood by, immobile. |
10 |
| 27 | 136 |
He stood as though stunned. |
10 |
| 27 | 143 |
Now there was no movement among the rows of Priest-Kings and they stood in that uncanny frozen stance regarding Sarm. |
10 |
| 27 | 146 |
Before the Platform of the Mother, facing Misk, rearing perhaps two feet over him, Sarm stood with what, even for a Priest-King, seemed a most terrible quietude. |
10 |
| 27 | 168 |
Sarm seemed to tremble and he struck with his other foreleg but this one too Misk seized with his other foreleg and once again they stood rocking on their posterior appendages, for Misk, having learned their strengths in the first grappling, and lacking the swiftness of Sarm, had decided to close wi... |

Misk's jaws no longer closed but he stood as if undecided. |
10 |
| 27 | 179 |
Misk slowly turned away from Sarm and with slow, delicate steps approached the Mother, before whom he stood, great chunks of greenish coagulated body fluid marking the wounds on his body. |
10 |
| 27 | 186 |
Sarm had drawn himself up again to his full height and like a golden blade he stood behind Misk and before the Mother. |
10 |
| 27 | 263 |
To one side I saw the bladed projection lying at the foot of one of the low stone tiers on which Priest-Kings stood. |
10 |
| 27 | 266 |
I saw that several Priest-Kings who stood behind him began to edge forward. |
10 |
| 27 | 278 |
Sarm seemed to tremble and so, too, did those Priest-Kings who stood behind him. |
10 |
| 27 | 330 |
He withdrew and stood watching us from some distance away, not moving, as still as the others, like a thousand statues of tortured gold. |
10 |
| 27 | 362 |
Then before my horrified eyes the carcass of that ancient she began to shiver and tremble and I stood back as she struggled to my amazement to her feet and reared herself to the height of a Priest-King, her antennae extended to their very lengths as though grasping, clutching, trying to sense someth... |
10 |
| 28 | 74 |
She stood before me blinking against the light of the Mul-Torch, trying to smile. |
10 |
| 28 | 90 |
I no longer wished her to be confined here now that I better understood how matters stood in the Nest. |
10 |
| 29 | 144 |
Did it wish me to comb the antennae? Was it conscious? Was it mad with pain? I stood not understanding and then the Priest-King did what he wished: with a toss of his great golden head he hurled his antennae against my blade, cutting them from his head, and then, after a moment, having closed himsel... |
10 |
| 30 | 94 |
The woman who stood over me with the whip, the woman clad in the most marvelous array of the most beautiful silks, wearing golden sandals and purple gloves, was Vika of Treve. |
10 |
| 30 | 126 |
Parp had now entered the room and stood near me, puffing on his pipe. |
10 |
| 31 | 29 |
But I stood calmly before him. |
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 | 121 |
Another flash of fire burned near me, leaving a rupture of molten marble in the floor not five feet from where I stood. |
10 |
| 31 | 124 |
He fired at me, burning a hole in the dome near him, exposing the power source, and the same flashing burst of fire tore at the area of the dome behind which I stood. |
10 |
| 31 | 152 |
At last I stood not more than a dozen yards from the Priest-King. |
10 |
| 31 | 177 |
And ahead of me stood Sarm, his club ready. |
10 |
| 31 | 198 |
The narcotic odor emanating from that lifted, waving mane shook even me though I stood in the midst of free air on the top of that great blue globe. |
10 |
| 31 | 206 |
I stood to one side, standing on the surface of the globe, clinging to the rail. |
10 |
| 31 | 230 |
He stood thusly on the walkway at the top of the vast blue dome beneath which burned and hissed the power source of Priest-Kings. |
10 |
| 31 | 235 |
I stood there on the crest of the globe and looked about the crumbling Nest. |
10 |
| 32 | 27 |
Together Misk and I, as the blue lavalike mass began to hiss over the rubble bubbling towards us, forced aside the great block of stone and Misk tenderly gathered up the broken carcass of Sarm in his forelegs and he and I sped toward the opening, and the blue molten flux of burning, seething, hissin... |
10 |
| 32 | 88 |
We stood now on the uneven, shifting stones of the floor. |
10 |
| 32 | 177 |
He stood shuddering in the drifting rock dust, amid the crashings of distant rocks. |
10 |
| 32 | 181 |
We returned to Misk and Kusk who stood together, their antennae touching. |
10 |
| 32 | 225 |
He looked down at me kindly and in a step or two seemed to float down the steps and stood beside me. |
10 |
| 32 | 310 |
I stood at the portal, sword drawn, to defend it against the larls should they attempt to enter. |
10 |
| 32 | 311 |
Vika now stood on her feet, a bit behind me, taking in at a glance the jammed door and the two unchained larls without. |
10 |
| 32 | 322 |
But I stood aside. |
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 |
| 33 | 11 |
From where Vika and I stood together on the rocky trail, now scarcely able to keep our feet on the path, we could see vast crowds, robed in all the caste colors of Gor, clustered outside the remains of the palisade, looking fearfully within. |
10 |
| 33 | 14 |
Even from where we stood I could smell the innumerable fires of their sacrifices, the burning flesh of bosks, smell the heady fumes of the incense they burned in brass censers swinging on chains, hear the repetitious litanies of their pleas, observe their continual prostrations and grovelings by whi... |
10 |
| 33 | 43 |
One Initiate stood on his feet. |
10 |
| 33 | 123 |
I stood amazed at the greatness and smallness of man. |
10 |
| 34 | 157 |
Perhaps even now she stood upon the block in some auction in Ar's Street of Brands. |
10 |
| 35 | 18 |
"Wait here!" I shouted and I ran across the field and climbed the knoll on which it stood. |
10 |
| 35 | 26 |
I stood below him, looking up, the wind lifting and tugging at my hair. |
10 |
| 35 | 32 |
That night Misk told me of how affairs stood in the Nest. |
10 |
| 35 | 42 |
I would always remember Sarm, huge and golden, in the last agonizing minute when he had pulled free of the Golden Beetle and had stood upright and splendid in the crumbling, perishing Nest that he was determined must be destroyed. |
10 |
| 35 | 135 |
"Perhaps," he said, "we have stood here, on this hill, thusly together, unknown to either of us, already an infinite number of times". |
10 |
| 35 | 143 |
But Misk stood, the wind whipping his antennae, as though he were exalted. |
10 |
| 35 | 182 |
For a long time I, and the others, stood there in the windy night, almost knee-deep in the flowing, bending grass, and watched the knoll, and the stars behind it, and the white moons above. |

I could scarcely believe that the proud creature who stood chained before me was she whom Kamchak and I had referred to as the Little Barbarian; whom I had been able to think of only as a timid, simple girl of Earth, a young, pretty little secretary, one of nameless, unimportant thousands of such in... |
10 |
| 10 | 292 |
I saw that Hereena, of the First Wagon, stood Third Stake, though, as far as I could note, she was no less beautiful than the two Kassar girls who stood above her. |
10 |
| 10 | 304 |
The girls of the Wagon Peoples stood proudly before their stakes, certain that their champions, whoever they were to be, would be victorious and return them to their peoples; the girls of the city of Turia stood also at their stakes, but with feigned indifference. |
10 |
| 14 | 54 |
They must be mercenaries! Kamchak did not return to his own wagon but now raced his kaiila, followed by a hundred men, toward the high ground on which stood the standard of the four bosk horns, on which stood the huge wagon of Kutaituchik, called Ubar of the Tuchuks. |
10 |
| 26 | 4 |
Kamchak stood in the half darkness, his palms on the wall running about the edge of the roof of the building on which we stood. |
10 |
| 27 | 55 |
"For the first time in more than a hundred years," said the Paravaci, "there is a Ubar San, a One Ubar, Master of the Wagons!" Kamchak stood up and threw from his shoulders the purple of the Turian Ubar and stood in the black leather of a Tuchuk. |
10 |
| 1 | 9 |
I stood back and made no move to draw my weapon. |
10 |
| 1 | 19 |
Even past me there thundered a lumbering herd of startled, short-trunked kailiauk, a stocky, awkward ruminant of the plains, tawny, wild, heavy, their haunches marked in red and brown bars, their wide heads bristling with a trident of horns; they had not stood and formed their circle, shes and young... |
10 |
| 1 | 38 |
My business was with the Wagon Peoples, not the Turians, said to be indolent and luxury-loving; but I wonder at this charge, for Turia has stood for generations on the plains claimed by the fierce Wagon Peoples. |
10 |
| 1 | 39 |
For some minutes I stood silently observing the animals and the men who pressed toward Turia, invisible over the brown horizon. |
10 |
| 2 | 118 |
The third rider placed himself, reining in suddenly, pulling the mount to its hind legs, and it reared snarling against the bit, and then stood still, its neck straining toward me. |
10 |
| 2 | 156 |
I stood stock still, seeing the face. |
10 |
| 3 | 3 |
So gambling all on the respect of the Wagon Peoples for the courage of men, I made no move to defend myself but, heart pounding, blood racing, yet no sign visible of agitation on my face, without a quiver of a muscle or tendon betraying me, I stood calmly erect. |
10 |
| 3 | 76 |
The warrior stood in the stirrups, shading his eyes. |
10 |
| 4 | 17 |
I stood at bay on the grass, breathing hard, bloody. |
10 |
| 4 | 56 |
The Tuchuk stood struck with awe, in the grass, on the trembling plains in the dusty air. |
10 |
| 4 | 62 |
His kaiila stood some yards away, shifting a bit, puzzled, reins loose on its neck. |
10 |
| 6 | 17 |
The girl stood gasping for breath, her body shaking and quivering, her knees slightly bent. |
10 |
| 6 | 94 |
She stood held in place by the lance, her throat bound to it with the wood behind her neck, her wrists thonged behind her back. |
10 |
| 6 | 163 |
Dazed, exhausted, covered with sweat, dust on her face and legs, wine on her body, Elizabeth Cardwell, her wrists thonged behind her and her throat bound to a lance, stood captive before Kamchak of the Tuchuks. |
10 |
| 7 | 2 |
Beside the wagon, on a great pole fixed in the earth, stood the Tuchuk standard of the four bosk horns. |
10 |
| 7 | 5 |
The hides that formed the dome were of a thousand colors, and the smoke hole at the top must have stood more than a hundred feet from the flooring of that vast platform. |
10 |
| 7 | 99 |
Angry, she nevertheless did so until, embarrassed, she stood insolently erect before him. |
10 |
| 7 | 192 |
I prepared to fight for my life, selling it as dearly as possible on the dais of Kutaituchik, called Ubar of the Tuchuks, for what Gorean would dare reject the command of Priest-Kings? I stood up, unsheathing my sword. |
10 |
| 7 | 210 |
There must be others—others, who did not wish me to succeed in my work, who wished Priest-Kings, the race, to die, others who were capable even of bringing humans from Earth for their purposes—technologically advanced—others who were, perhaps, cautiously, invisibly, at war with ... |
10 |
| 7 | 253 |
Perhaps in that moment Elizabeth Cardwell recalled the strange man, so fearsome, gray of face with eyes like glass, who had so examined her on Earth, before whom she had stood as though on a block, unknowingly being examined for her fitness to bear the message collar of Turia. |
10 |
| 8 | 206 |
She stood on tiptoes in her furred boots and held the stirrup. |
10 |
| 8 | 260 |
Immediately they did so and, in spite of the brisk, bright chilly afternoon, they stood in the grass, clad Kajir. |
10 |
| 8 | 285 |
Elizabeth did so and stood before us in the pelt of the larl, with the other girls. |
10 |
| 8 | 464 |
I noted that his kaiila was within the whip circle, within which the girl stood. |
10 |
| 8 | 508 |
He stood up, a smile on his face. |
10 |
| 8 | 517 |
She stood facing me, clad Kajir, her wrists still thonged behind her. |
10 |
| 8 | 521 |
Helpless she stood waiting for me. |
10 |
| 8 | 564 |
But she stood like a rock and when I thundered past her the tip of my lance had been thrust through the tospit. |
10 |
| 8 | 565 |
The girl who had bitten the neck of the kaiila, and whose leg had been torn by its teeth, stood for Albrecht. |
10 |
| 8 | 582 |
Elizabeth stood facing me, not frightened, but seemingly rather put upon. |
10 |
| 8 | 585 |
When she had stood sideways I had favored the left, so that if the stroke was in error, the lance would miss the tospit altogether; but now, as she faced me, the stroke must be made for the center of the fruit; nothing else would do. |
10 |
| 9 | 294 |
Then, to my surprise, the girl clapped her hands sharply twice and the women about the table stood, and, together, from both sides, moved swiftly to stand before us, between the tables. |
10 |
| 9 | 296 |
She stood facing us, beautiful, knees flexed, breathing deeply, arms lifted over her head, ready for the dance. |
10 |
| 9 | 297 |
Each of the women I had thought free did the same, until each stood before us, a collared slave girl clad only in the diaphanous, scarlet dancing silks of Gor. |
10 |
| 9 | 333 |
The girls that now stood before us, barefoot, in swirling Pleasure Silks, belled and collared, were wenches of the Wagon Peoples, now, as could be determined even beneath the silks they wore, the branded slaves of Turians. |
10 |
| 9 | 335 |
The Feast Steward was handed a slave whip and stood towering over the leader of the girls. |
10 |
| 9 | 345 |
"I wish to see them perform," said Aphris of Turia, though she stood within an arm's reach of Kamchak's quiva. |
10 |
| 9 | 418 |
I stood beside Kamchak, ready to defend him with my life, yet as startled as any in the room at what had been done. |
10 |
| 9 | 445 |
For an instant I saw Kamchak's eyes gleam and thought he might at the very table at which he stood accept the challenge of the Champion of Turia, but instead, he shrugged and grinned. |
10 |
| 10 | 332 |
"Let the women be secured," called the first judge, who stood on a platform near the beginning of the stake lines, this year on the side of the Wagon Peoples. |
10 |
| 10 | 342 |
I thought I saw her tremble for just an instant, realizing herself secured, but then she stood quietly, looking about herself as though bored. |
10 |
| 10 | 588 |
Then he turned and advanced to the stake of Aphris of Turia, who stood there, her wrists bound in steel, regarding him, speechless with horror. |
10 |
| 11 | 3 |
"Please, no!" And in a moment the lovely Aphris of Turia stood at the stake revealed to the eyes of her master. |
10 |
| 11 | 143 |
Aphris stood up, wobbling, still dazed. |
10 |
| 11 | 166 |
But then, head in the air, she deigned to accompany Elizabeth from where we stood. |
10 |
| 11 | 316 |
She jerked one of the quivas from its saddle sheath and stood with the blade facing us. |
10 |
| 11 | 345 |
"I will not be your slave!" But Kamchak had hauled her to her feet and then flung her back to where she had stood before. |
10 |
| 11 | 410 |
Kamchak then tied shut the end of the leather sack and wearily stood up. |
10 |
| 12 | 391 |
Once at the foot of the stairs she stopped and stood for a long moment. |
10 |
| 12 | 406 |
He gestured for the woman to rise and she did so and stood before him, head lowered. |
10 |
| 12 | 409 |
Then, to the music, the girl seemed to twist and turn and move away from him, as he played out the chain, until she stood wretched some twenty feet from him at the chain's length. |
10 |
| 12 | 410 |
She did not move then for a moment, but stood crouched down, her hands on the chain. |
10 |
| 12 | 414 |
Then with a suddenness that almost made me jump and the crowd cry out with delight the music began again but this time as a barbaric cry of rebellion and rage and the wench from Port Kar was suddenly a chained she-larl biting and tearing at the chain and she had cast her black robes from her and sto... |
10 |
| 12 | 463 |
She stood up and faced me. |
10 |
| 12 | 484 |
She was of Earth and knew not the flames which her words might have evoked in the breast of a Gorean warrior—nor did she understand herself truly nor the relation in which she, slave girl, stood to a free man to whom she had been for the hour given—I could not tell her that another war... |
10 |
| 13 | 64 |
She stood well, her eyes closed, her right cheek pressed against the leather rim of the wheel. |
10 |
| 13 | 67 |
She stood trembling, her head down. |
10 |
| 13 | 69 |
She stood so, her knees slightly flexed, head down. |
10 |
| 13 | 140 |
There were a large number of tethered animals about the outer edge of the circle, and, beside them, stood many haruspexes. |
10 |
| 13 | 155 |
Even from where I stood I could see the pigeons pecking at the grain in reassuring frenzy. |
10 |
| 14 | 83 |
At last Kamchak stood up. |
10 |
| 15 | 18 |
He stood as a nomad, in his way baffled at the walls raised against him. |
10 |
| 16 | 118 |
Neither Harold nor myself could move an arm or hand and, locked in the net, we stood like fools until a guardsman kicked the feet out from under us and we rolled, entrapped in the wire, at his feet. |
10 |
| 16 | 256 |
Then the little merchant stood up and clapped his hands twice. |
10 |
| 16 | 270 |
He stood up and went to the egg, putting his finger on it. |
10 |
| 17 | 1 |
The Yellow Pool of Turia At the edge of the Yellow Pool of Turia Harold and I stood, now freed of the slave bar, but with wrists tied behind our backs. |
10 |
| 17 | 12 |
A slave, at a sort of panel fixed with wires and levers, stood at one side. |
10 |
| 17 | 76 |
Three men-at-arms, with crossbows, stood ready, the weapons trained on my back. |
10 |
| 17 | 95 |
I stood in the fluid only to my knees. |
10 |
| 17 | 109 |
I stood so, in the fluid to my waist, for perhaps two or three minutes. |
10 |
| 18 | 14 |
I stood in the coagulating, tightening fluid, held fast a prisoner, and threw back my head in despair. |
10 |
| 18 | 32 |
Your turn will come!" I stood as still as I could. |
10 |
| 18 | 70 |
I now stood on the hardened surface of the Yellow Pool of Turia and saw the fluids of the sides seeping into the mass beneath me and hardening almost instantly. |
10 |
| 18 | 71 |
I stood now on a warm, dry globular mass, almost like a huge, living shell. |
10 |
| 18 | 76 |
One of the crossbowmen had leaped to the now dry floor of the marble basin and stood almost beneath me, his crossbow raised. |
10 |
| 19 | 92 |
Then he stood up and went to where one of the girls lay curled on the thick red carpet. |
10 |
| 19 | 152 |
Harold stood by, patiently, making no attempt to interfere. |
10 |
| 20 | 33 |
It stood some seventy feet from any of the other buildings in the compound that was the House of Saphrar, but now, swaying, formed of rope and sticks, a removable footbridge extended from an open door in its side to a porch some several feet below us. |
10 |
| 20 | 34 |
The bridge permitted access to the tower from the building on the roof of which we stood. |
10 |
| 20 | 51 |
Harold's arm flashed past me and the fellow stood suddenly still, then his knees gave slowly way beneath him and he fell to the flooring of the porch, a quiva hilt protruding from his chest, the crossbow clattering beside him. |
10 |
| 20 | 59 |
A quarrel from one of the crossbowmen on the roof suddenly shattered through the sticks of the bridge at my feet, splintering them not six inches from where I stood. |
10 |
| 21 | 24 |
Kamchak rode his kaiila up the hill until he stood, that cold dawn, at the edge of the burned wood and ashes of Kutaituchik's wagon. |
10 |
| 21 | 46 |
To my great surprise the gates of Turia stood open after the withdrawal of the wagons and the lifting of the siege. |
10 |
| 21 | 162 |
Indeed, it is possible I might have died the first night in Turia had it not been that Dina had seen me, followed me and in my time of need boldly stood forth as my ally. |
10 |
| 21 | 187 |
In no hurry to depart from the wall, we stood together there. |
10 |
| 21 | 189 |
We stood on the wall near the main gate of Turia, through which I had entered the city some four days ago, the morning after the departure of the Tuchuk wagons for the pastures this side of the Ta-Thassa Mountains, beyond which lay the vast, gleaming Thassa itself. |
10 |
| 21 | 214 |
I would rather have expected Kamchak to have stood before the walls of Turia, his kaiila saddled, his arrows at hand, until the winds and snows had at last driven him, the Tuchuks, the wagons and the bosk away from the gates of the beleaguered city, the nine-gated, high-walled stronghold of Turia, i... |
10 |
| 22 | 78 |
Two Tuchuk guards stood over them. |
10 |
| 22 | 111 |
Behind them stood Tuchuk guards, quivas in their right hands. |
10 |
| 22 | 158 |
Kamchak stood before the throne of Phanius Turmus, the purple robe of the Ubar over one shoulder, and looked at the overturned tables, the spilled cups, the remains of the feast. |
10 |
| 23 | 124 |
I stood with Harold on a planked platform fixed across the wagon box of the wagon at our center, whose domed framework had been torn away. |
10 |
| 23 | 134 |
Harold and I, and those of our men that remained, stood with the wagons, watching the nearing waves of warriors, observing the moment when the chain face guards of the Paravaci helmets were thrown forward, the moment when the lances, like that of a single man, were leveled. |
10 |
| 23 | 151 |
"Kassars!" I stood dumbfounded on the planking and saw the two great wedges of the Kataii and the Kassars close like tongs on the trapped Paravaci, taking them in the unprotected flanks, crushing the ranks before them with the weight of their charge. |
10 |
| 24 | 7 |
The House of Saphrar still stood, and the tower that had been fortified by Ha-Keel's tarnsmen. |
10 |
| 25 | 13 |
I did not speak, but stood dumbfounded, finding myself facing Elizabeth Cardwell. |
10 |
| 25 | 32 |
She dropped her hand from before her face and stood facing the back of the wagon. |
10 |
| 25 | 48 |
She would not face me but stood covering her face, looking away. |
10 |
| 25 | 74 |
She did not speak but stood looking at me, in the yellow sheet, with one hand covering her face. |
10 |
| 25 | 156 |
I spun about and to my astonishment saw that Elizabeth Cardwell had arisen and stood proudly, defiantly, angrily before me, as though she might have been a freshly collared slave girl, brought in but an Ahn before, bound over the saddle of a kaiila, the fruit of a slave raid. |
10 |
| 25 | 160 |
She stood facing me, in pretended anger, graceful and beautiful. |
10 |
| 25 | 413 |
I stood up and threw the wine bowl to the side of the room. |
10 |
| 25 | 539 |
I stood up and, laughing, lifted her to her feet. |
10 |
| 25 | 621 |
And yet this beautiful, soft, proud thing stood there, though ringed and branded, though collared, bold and brazen flinging at me, eyes bright, her challenge, the eternal challenge of the unconquered female, that of the untamed woman, daring the male to touch her, to try, she resisting, to reduce he... |
10 |
| 25 | 634 |
At last she stood before me, and was beautiful. |
10 |
| 26 | 2 |
Kamchak, Harold and I stood with several others on the roof of a building across from the compound. |
10 |
| 26 | 71 |
He lifted his hand and one who stood near him climbed to the wall about the roof and blew a long blast on a bosk horn. |
10 |
| 26 | 106 |
Then he stood back from the door, holding something large in his arms, wrapped in purple cloth. |
10 |
| 26 | 110 |
Then, on the walls and within the compound, they stood, not moving. |
10 |
| 26 | 119 |
"Kill him!" Silently a dozen Tuchuk bowmen, with the short horn bow, stood afoot before Kamchak's kaiila, their arrows trained on the hearts of the two guards. |
10 |
| 26 | 163 |
He carried a short sword and stood between us and the others. |
10 |
| 26 | 263 |
The Paravaci turned to Ha-Keel, who had now resheathed his sword and stood up. |
10 |
| 26 | 308 |
The Tuchuks stood about, in their black leather. |
10 |
| 26 | 309 |
The sleen keeper stood nearby, the chain leashes loose in his hands. |
10 |
| 26 | 310 |
In the background there stood the slaves with their pans of gold. |
10 |
| 26 | 348 |
Saphrar took a step deeper into the pool and the pool permitted this, and he now stood with the fluids level with his chest. |
10 |
| 26 | 366 |
We stood silently there for a time, until Kamchak saw small, white bones, like bleached driftwood, rocking on the sparkling, now watery surface, being moved bit by bit, almost as if by tides, to the edge of the pool, where I gathered attendants would normally collect and discard them. |

I turned about and walked back on the perch and again stood on the thick, beamed framework of tem-wood that formed the vast housing for numerous racing birds. |
10 |
| 13 | 297 |
Mip, scarcely seeming to touch the one-strap with his finger, almost a tap, took the old bird from the perch and in a whiplike flurry of its wings it struck the outside perch and stood there, its old head moving alertly, the wicked black eyes gleaming. |
10 |
| 13 | 315 |
The painted, wooden tarn heads, used for marking laps of the race, stood lonely and dark on their poles. |
10 |

Mip stood somewhat behind me and I walked out to the end of the perch. |

Then, both dancers broke apart and the male stepped back, and Phyllis now stood, alone on the furs, sweating, breathing deeply, head down. |
10 |
| 15 | 69 |
She stood there for an instant, the pastry clutched in her hands, her eyes suddenly brimming with tears, then she turned and fled from the room. |
10 |
| 15 | 294 |
Phyllis stood up, breathing heavily. |
10 |
| 15 | 318 |
I glared at Virginia, who still stood in the room. |
10 |
| 15 | 436 |
Cernus stood up behind the table, ready now to retire. |
10 |
| 16 | 189 |
When she stood ready to return to the tiers she put her back to him and extended her wrists behind her. |
10 |
| 16 | 233 |
I now stood on my feet, stupefied, staring down at the wagons, the birds being brought to the perches. |
10 |
| 16 | 235 |
I stood there, not speaking, my limbs weak. |
10 |
| 16 | 251 |
I stood still. |
10 |
| 17 | 75 |
The long-legged girl, doubtless a miserable slave most of the year, seemed intent on humiliating me, taking revenge probably on her master, for whom I now stood as proxy. |
10 |
| 17 | 102 |
I permitted her to go to the center of the room, where she stood, facing me, tears in her eyes, near the rep-cloth blankets spread over straw. |
10 |
| 17 | 125 |
This time when I finished with her I did not bind her but stood her before me, my hands on her arms above the elbows. |
10 |
| 17 | 141 |
But, as this lawlessness grew, and it became such that men would not walk the bridges without arms, the frenzy over the races and the games grew more rabid; it became rare on the streets and bridges to pass a person who would not, either for himself or for someone he knew, wear a faction patch, even... |
10 |
| 17 | 219 |
The day before he surrendered his robes the High Initiate, reading the liver of a sacrificial bosk, had confirmed what all by then were anticipating, that the omens stood strongly against the Hinrabian dynasty. |
10 |
| 17 | 227 |
Cernus had been proclaimed, as the Taurentians lifted their swords in salute and the members of the High Council had stood on the tiers of the Council Chamber and cried out and applauded, Ubar of Ar. |
10 |
| 17 | 283 |
The two girls stood facing one another. |
10 |
| 17 | 304 |
Lana scrambled up and stood some feet from her, tears in her eyes. |
10 |
| 17 | 364 |
He then stood over her, hands on hips. |
10 |
| 17 | 405 |
Then all at the tables, and even the slaves who served, stood and lifted their hands, laughing, saluting Cernus. |
10 |
| 17 | 473 |
Virginia stood there, helpless, her fists clenched, fighting back tears. |
10 |
| 17 | 508 |
The woman stumbled to the place before the table of Cernus, where she stood. |
10 |
| 17 | 572 |
As she stood in the room I took the key on its string from about her neck and removed the bracelets. |
10 |
| 17 | 574 |
She stood there, rubbing her wrists a bit. |
10 |
| 17 | 615 |
She stood there, looking at me, holding the doll. |
10 |
| 18 | 10 |
But Sura stood between us. |
10 |
| 18 | 79 |
He stood as though stunned. |
10 |
| 18 | 185 |
The Physicians, I am pleased to say, stood with us. |
10 |
| 18 | 224 |
I stood there, amidst the ruined equipment, the burned walls. |
10 |
| 18 | 294 |
The thing behind the door was no longer making noise, and the door was no longer pressing against the beams; from where I stood I could hear the bolt on the inside being thrust back in place, locking it from the inside. |
10 |
| 18 | 318 |
Startled, I saw, now that she stood forth from the shadows, that she had no nose. |
10 |
| 18 | 324 |
Two large wine jugs stood in one corner of the room. |
10 |
| 18 | 466 |
Standing in the doorway, four guards armed with crossbows with him, stood Cernus, of the House of Cernus. |
10 |
| 18 | 486 |
"May I introduce to you, Caprus," said Cernus, looking down at the piteous chained figure by the wall, "Tarl Cabot of Ko-ro-ba?" I stood stunned. |
10 |
| 18 | 508 |
And here, while we have through the months advanced our cause you have stood by, patiently and cooperatively, a dupe and a fool, our guarantee that Priest-Kings would not send another". |
10 |
| 19 | 101 |
Beside me stood a man with pliers and a hook knife. |
10 |
| 19 | 104 |
Cernus laughed to himself and turned his attention to his right, where stood Philemon, and conversed with the Scribe. |
10 |
| 19 | 122 |
Among the crowd, though it was predominantly male, there were, as I might have mentioned, several women, perhaps one in ten or fifteen; many of these were doubtless rich, and of High Caste; some of them were probably interested in picking up a serving slave; kettle wenches, so to speak, would probab... |
10 |
| 19 | 149 |
The third lot was a High Caste girl of Cos who stood before us clad in the complete robes of Concealment, which, piece by piece, were removed from her. |
10 |
| 19 | 151 |
She did nothing to move the buyers but stood, head down, numb on the block until she was completely revealed. |
10 |
| 19 | 221 |
They stood near the center of the block, their leashes in the hands of the auctioneer. |
10 |
| 19 | 266 |
She was a woman who could well have stood among the most marvelous of Gor. |
10 |
| 19 | 273 |
The three girls then stood rather together, Elizabeth somewhat forward, the other two a bit behind and flanking her; then they were led on their chains again about the block. |
10 |
| 19 | 278 |
He then removed the black cloak from Virginia, who stood before us in the brief, sleeveless yellow livery, slashed to the belt, of a slave girl. |
10 |
| 19 | 288 |
When they had finished, Virginia now stood toward the center, with Phyllis behind her and to her left, and Elizabeth behind her and to her right. |
10 |
| 19 | 292 |
The auctioneer then motioned to the whip slave who stood behind Virginia. |
10 |
| 19 | 300 |
Then the girls rotated again and this time Elizabeth stood at the center of the block. |
10 |
| 19 | 309 |
Angrily he motioned back the whip slave, who stood behind the girl, and then he himself threw her hands cruelly behind her back and snapped shut the slave bracelets, thus himself confining her. |
10 |
| 19 | 339 |
The girls stood in the light, lifting their heads to the crowd, nude and proud on the block, in the wild shouting and stamping and crying out, and knew themselves beautiful and prized. |
10 |
| 19 | 354 |
Four dances the girls danced while the crowd screamed and roared, and then, at an instant, their dances ended, they stood suddenly motionless, splendid, animal, magnificent, inciting. |
10 |
| 19 | 384 |
She stood there with her hands on her hips, her head back. |
10 |
| 19 | 465 |
She stood as though stunned. |
10 |
| 20 | 297 |
He stood before the table of Cernus and though Cernus was Ubar of his city he merely lifted his hand in common Gorean greeting, palm inward. |
10 |
| 20 | 344 |
Again I glanced at Sura, and was again startled at the intentness, almost the wonder, with which she regarded the incredibly handsome, lame boy who stood before us. |
10 |
| 20 | 366 |
My champion was Hup, a Fool, that of Cernus was the brilliant, fiery, competitive Scormus of Ar, the young, phenomenal Scormus, who played first board of the city of Ar and held the highest bridge in the city as the province of his game, the master not only of the Players of Ar but doubtless of Gor ... |
10 |
| 20 | 479 |
At last, after perhaps no more than half an Ahn, Scormus stood up. |
10 |
| 20 | 482 |
He stood stiffly, and, to the wonder of all, extended his hand to Hup. |
10 |
| 20 | 522 |
When he saw Scormus regarding him, however, he stood up, as straight as he could with his crooked back and one short leg; he struggled to stand straight, and it must have caused him pain. |
10 |
| 20 | 524 |
Hup could not reply but he stood there before the dais, as straight as he could, with tears in his eyes. |
10 |
| 20 | 535 |
I saw that Hup now stood close to Sura, and once again, gently, he kissed her on the forehead. |
10 |
| 21 | 32 |
"Cernus," said I, "though a prominent patron of the Greens, must be disturbed that the Yellows have this year stood above them". |
10 |
| 21 | 209 |
Another with a hot iron stood nearby, shouting at the other pairs. |
10 |
| 21 | 231 |
He then stood back, stunned, and withdrew a step, and put himself at the ready. |
10 |
| 21 | 323 |
Steel rang on steel and then we stood back to back, cutting and jabbing. |
10 |
| 21 | 325 |
And then there stood another with us, in the garb of an arena fighter. |
10 |
| 21 | 331 |
Another stood beside us, and we four fought. |
10 |
| 21 | 345 |
Ho-Tu, his hook knife dripping, a buckler on his left arm, now stood beside us. |
10 |
| 21 | 365 |
I could not see the features of the magnificent fighter who stood beside me. |
10 |
| 21 | 382 |
In some places armed Warriors, of common rank, stood against the purple-clad Taurentians. |
10 |
| 21 | 412 |
When I reached the top there stood there a man with a purple scarf of silk, that armband indicating the imperial party. |
10 |
| 22 | 32 |
Watching us warily it stood with one set of talons hooked over the body of a yellow. |
10 |
| 22 | 35 |
I stood back. |
10 |
| 22 | 88 |
I stepped forward, until I stood within the ambit of the tarn's chain. |
10 |
| 22 | 114 |
I ascended stairs there until I stood, with many others, on the dividing wall, and from there could watch the race. |
10 |
| 22 | 127 |
Masked, I stood there, facing him. |
10 |
| 22 | 148 |
Saphronicus, of the Taurentians, stood beside him. |
10 |
| 22 | 152 |
My fellow, now, instead of watching the race, stood, armed, with his back to mine, his crossbow ready. |
10 |
| 22 | 173 |
"Look," said the crossbowman, who stood near me. |
10 |
| 22 | 186 |
The crossbowman fitted another quarrel to his bow and stood as before, examining the crowd. |
10 |
| 22 | 217 |
The bird stood there on the perch, and Mip straightened himself painfully in the saddle. |
10 |
| 22 | 233 |
We stood back. |
10 |
| 22 | 234 |
After a time the crossbowman, who stood beside me, spoke to Mip. |
10 |
| 22 | 277 |
I stood stunned, for Melipolus of Cos was indeed a legend in Ar and in the hundred cities in which races were held. |
10 |
| 22 | 305 |
The races now stood even between the Steels and the Yellows. |
10 |
| 22 | 321 |
I saw Menicius of Port Kar standing on the platform, on which, hooded, trembling with anticipation, stood Quarrel, that marvelous reddish tarn, prince of the tarncots of the Yellows. |
10 |
| 22 | 346 |
It stood there, its head extended, snapping its wings. |
10 |
| 22 | 351 |
The steel-shod talons of the war tarn tore for a moment at the heavy beams of the platform on which it stood, furrowing it. |
10 |
| 22 | 490 |
Then, to my horror, I saw that both the rider for the Reds and he for the Greens had wheeled their tarns and stood ready at the left center ring to block my passage. |

Then suddenly, in their hundreds, they stood still, startled, unable to move, struck with surprise, astonished, for, before them, before the portal of the castle, there stood a single figure, this even as others continued to pour over the great threshold. |
