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 | 181 |
"Hear my name," cried he, "I am Kamchak of the Tuchuks!" As suddenly as he had finished, as soon as the men had named themselves, as if a signal had been given, the four kaiila bounded forward, squealing with rage, each rider bent low on his mount, lance gripped in his right hand, straining to be th... |
10 |
| 3 | 5 |
At the last instant, the lances of four riders but a hand's breadth from my body, the enraged, thundering kaiila, hissing and squealing, at a touch of the control straps, arrested their fierce charge, stopping themselves, tearing into the deep turf with suddenly emergent claws. |
10 |
| 4 | 46 |
The three weights at the end of the straps were now almost blurring in the air and he, his song ended, the reins in his left hand, quiva blade now clenched between his teeth, bola in his swinging, uplifted right arm, suddenly cried out and kicked the kaiila into its charge. |
10 |
| 4 | 75 |
He stared at me, disbelievingly, and then, suddenly, he threw back his head and laughed until tears streamed down his face. |
10 |
| 4 | 79 |
Suddenly the Tuchuk bent to the soil and picked up a handful of dirt and grass, the land on which the bosk graze, the land which is the land of the Tuchuks, and this dirt and this grass he thrust in my hands and I held it. |
10 |
| 6 | 3 |
We suddenly emerged into the center of what seemed to be a wide, grassy street among the wagons, a wide lane, open and level, an avenue in that city of Harigga, or Bosk Wagons. |
10 |
| 6 | 33 |
She lifted her head and seeing the wild, fearsome scarred face that stared into hers, she suddenly screamed hysterically, and tried to jerk and tear herself away, but the lance held her in place. |
10 |
| 6 | 64 |
Suddenly the girl threw back her head and cried out hysterically, "I'm mad! I have gone mad! I have gone mad!" I could stand it no longer. |
10 |
| 7 | 43 |
Kutaituchik suddenly reached out and he and Kamchak, laughing, clasped hands. |
10 |
| 7 | 110 |
Elizabeth had looked, tears almost in her eyes, at the department head, but he seemed suddenly to her soft, pudgy, distant, sweating, nothing. |
10 |
| 7 | 117 |
Looking at him she suddenly had the feeling, a strange one, that this man, in some circumstances and for some purpose or another, had assessed and judged many women. |
10 |
| 7 | 160 |
I was suddenly amused, for it occurred to me that neither of the Tuchuks could read. |
10 |
| 7 | 231 |
Then uncontrollably, piteously, suddenly, trembling in the Sirik, she put her head down to the pelt of the larl. |
10 |
| 8 | 73 |
The rider who had made the unsatisfactory thrust suddenly whirled the kaiila toward the girl, and she fell to her knees, realizing she should not have revealed her pleasure at his failure, putting her head to the grass. |
10 |
| 8 | 175 |
* * * * Now the Kassar, mounted on his kaiila, his lance under the tip of the girl's chin, who knelt before him, looking up at him, suddenly laughed and removed the lance. |
10 |
| 8 | 503 |
The crowd was silent, then, suddenly, as unexpectedly as a clap of thunder, they began to roar and cheer. |
10 |
| 8 | 610 |
It was with a kind of shock that I suddenly realized that she, and Dina of Turia, now belonged to Kamchak and myself. |
10 |
| 9 | 100 |
Suddenly I became aware again of the banquet of Saphrar of Turia. |
10 |
| 9 | 152 |
It seemed suddenly I was shocked awake and sober. |
10 |
| 9 | 167 |
As the woman approached I suddenly became aware again of Saphrar speaking. |
10 |
| 9 | 479 |
It then occurred to me, suddenly, that, following Gorean civic law, the properties and titles, assets and goods of a given individual who is reduced to slavery are automatically regarded as having been transferred to the nearest male relative—or nearest relative if no adult male relative is a... |
10 |
| 10 | 52 |
Suddenly she began to shake with sobs and fell to her knees at the paws of the kaiila, the gold piece in her left hand. |
10 |
| 10 | 66 |
"No," she said, "no!" I lifted her to her feet and she suddenly kissed me. |
10 |
| 10 | 86 |
Then suddenly her eyes clouded and her face was transformed with distress. |
10 |
| 10 | 114 |
Elizabeth's face suddenly seemed terrified. |
10 |
| 10 | 238 |
Elizabeth Cardwell's knees seemed suddenly weak but she staggered back to us. |
10 |
| 10 | 369 |
I suddenly glimpsed the face of Aphris of Turia contort with rage and she tried to free herself. |
10 |
| 10 | 405 |
It would indeed be unpleasant if one suddenly, unexpectedly, found oneself facing a superb, famed warrior, say, a Kamras of Turia. |
10 |
| 10 | 527 |
Suddenly the eyes of Kamchak gleamed. |
10 |
| 10 | 544 |
Kamchak turned to see what I had in mind and to his great good fortune, as he did so, the sun flashed from the blade into the eyes of Kamras, who suddenly threw his arm up, blinking and shaking his head, for the instant blinded. |
10 |
| 11 | 14 |
Kamchak suddenly cuffed Aphris of Turia. |
10 |
| 11 | 26 |
Aphris suddenly pulled at the retaining rings, trying to rush to him, now oblivious of the riches of her beauty revealed even to the slaves who carried his palanquin. |
10 |
| 11 | 47 |
Aphris suddenly looked at him, dumbfounded. |
10 |
| 11 | 120 |
"What were you?" Then he turned his kaiila suddenly toward them and they would break and run screaming and laughing and then, like a flock of birds, take up once more the pursuit. |
10 |
| 11 | 156 |
She suddenly straightened indignantly and cried out. |
10 |
| 11 | 221 |
She looked up suddenly, her eyes bright with tears. |
10 |
| 11 | 357 |
Suddenly Elizabeth Cardwell said, perhaps unwisely, "You are cruel". |
10 |
| 12 | 61 |
"Ow!" cried Elizabeth as Aphris' comb apparently suddenly caught in a snarl in her hair. |
10 |
| 12 | 273 |
Suddenly Elizabeth was kneeling terribly straight, looking ahead, breathing very quickly. |
10 |
| 12 | 279 |
Her eyes suddenly met mine, timid, frightened. |
10 |
| 12 | 293 |
She looked up, her eyes suddenly moist. |
10 |
| 12 | 309 |
I held her by the shoulders and suddenly she turned herself in my hands and, as I was sitting cross-legged, threw herself on her back across my lap, her right wrist still chained to her left ankle. |
10 |
| 12 | 352 |
"Do you want to buy her?" suddenly asked Kamchak. |
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 | 427 |
Aphris suddenly put her head to his thigh, looking down. |
10 |
| 12 | 442 |
"Why not?" Then suddenly she jerked at the hobble but could not rise and nearly fell, and pounded her left fist into the dirt before her. |
10 |
| 12 | 487 |
She looked into my eyes for a long moment and then suddenly dropped her head weeping. |
10 |
| 12 | 504 |
I was only about a quarter of the way through the bottle and was passing the side of a wagon when I saw a swift flicker of a shadow suddenly leap on the lacquered boards and by instinct I threw my head to one side as a quiva flashed past and buried itself three inches deep in the timber side of the ... |
10 |
| 13 | 16 |
Before I could remonstrate with the angry Tuchuk the hunting sleen suddenly seemed to go wild, rearing on their hind legs, scratching in the air, dragging against the chains. |
10 |
| 13 | 83 |
Elizabeth suddenly cried out throwing her head to one side. |
10 |
| 13 | 118 |
At one point, he wrapped a heavy fur and leather robe about his left arm and struck the beast suddenly on the snout with his right hand. |
10 |
| 13 | 154 |
Each of the four haruspexes then, after intoning an involved entreaty of some sort to the sky, which at the time was shining beneficently, suddenly cast a handful of something—doubtless grain—to the pigeons in the stick cage. |
10 |
| 13 | 230 |
Suddenly Kamchak lifted his hand, alert, gesturing for silence. |
10 |
| 13 | 232 |
Suddenly they were not moving. |
10 |
| 14 | 37 |
Suddenly, instead of giving pursuit, Kamchak drew his mount to a halt and behind him the rushing cavalries of the Tuchuks snarled pawing to a halt, holding their ground. |
10 |
| 14 | 106 |
Suddenly tears seemed to burst from Kamchak's eyes and his fists were clenched. |
10 |
| 14 | 110 |
Suddenly Kamchak cried out in rage and seized up the golden kanda box and hurled it away. |
10 |
| 15 | 81 |
Also, perhaps for no reason better than his suddenly found hatred for Aphris of Turia, he seemed in no hurry to free the girls from their confinement. |
10 |
| 16 | 177 |
I glanced, however, at Harold, and it seemed he had suddenly paled. |
10 |
| 16 | 220 |
"Also," I cried, suddenly aware, "the rence paper in the message collar, paper from Port Kar!" "Of course," he said. |
10 |
| 18 | 2 |
I cried out suddenly in alarm horrified at my predicament and struggled to turn back and wade to the edge of the marbled basin that was the cage of the thing in which I was, but the fluid, tightening about me, now seemed to have the consistency of a rich yellow, hot mud and then, by the time I had r... |
10 |
| 18 | 20 |
"Beware!" cried the Paravaci and Saphrar suddenly stopped laughing and observed me warily. |
10 |
| 18 | 44 |
Then suddenly, the yellow, encircling cementlike substance had oozed from my limbs and I could take two or three free steps. |
10 |
| 18 | 68 |
Crowded about my body now were entangling filaments and spheres trying, like hands and teeth, to tear me from my work, but I struck and tore again and again and then entered the secret world beneath the membrane slashing to the left and right and suddenly the fluid began to loosen and withdraw above... |
10 |
| 18 | 69 |
Now below me the fluid began to gel swiftly almost like a rising floor and it loosened and withdrew on all sides and suddenly my head broke the surface and I breathed. |
10 |
| 18 | 73 |
"Kill him!" I heard Saphrar cry, and there was suddenly the hiss of a crossbow quarrel which streaked past me and shattered on the curving wall behind me. |
10 |
| 18 | 78 |
Then suddenly I heard his agonized cry and saw that beneath me, once again, there glistened the yellow fluids of the pool, moving about him, for the thing—perhaps thermotropic—had again, as rapidly as it had hardened, liquefied and swirled about him, the luminescent spheres and filamen... |
10 |
| 19 | 21 |
Suddenly there seemed to me a real possibility in Harold's plan. |
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 |
| 20 | 73 |
Then there was a horrified cry as one rope was cut and the flooring of the bridge suddenly pitched, throwing several of the guardsmen to the ground below. |
10 |
| 21 | 230 |
Suddenly I wheeled and gripped the parapet. |
10 |
| 21 | 243 |
Suddenly she looked out over the parapet. |
10 |
| 21 | 271 |
"Tuchuks!" The guards suddenly looked about themselves startled. |
10 |
| 21 | 275 |
Suddenly understanding, the officer cried out in rage and whipped his sword from his sheath but before he could raise his arm the young man had leaped to him and thrust a quiva into his heart. |
10 |
| 21 | 309 |
Suddenly I saw the faces of the men fighting me turn from rage to fear. |
10 |
| 22 | 87 |
"Marvelous! A fighter!" Suddenly Dina stopped pulling and kicking and scratching. |
10 |
| 23 | 62 |
These two hundred, afoot, suddenly looking up with their quivas and axes, startled, screaming, were ridden down in a matter of an Ehn. |
10 |
| 23 | 76 |
Thousands of animals were already turned toward the approaching enemy and beginning to walk toward them when the Paravaci suddenly realized what was happening. |
10 |
| 23 | 144 |
Suddenly rising over the crest of rolling hills, like black floods, from both the left and the right, I saw on racing kaiila what must have been thousands of warriors, thousands upon thousands. |
10 |
| 23 | 149 |
And I looked and saw suddenly and my heart stopped beating and then I uttered a wild cry for from the left, riding with the Thousands sweeping over the hills, I saw the standard of the Yellow Bow, and on the right, flying forward with the hurtling Thousands, its leather streaming behind its pole, I ... |
10 |
| 25 | 2 |
Within, a girl, across the wagon, beyond the tiny fire bowl in the center of its floor, standing on the thick rug, near a hanging tharlarion-oil lamp, turned suddenly to face me. |
10 |
| 25 | 24 |
"I have not yet seen him!" Suddenly I felt like shaking, but did not move, nor betray emotion. |
10 |
| 25 | 339 |
Suddenly I thought I understood Kamchak! He had indeed been fond of the girl! "Elizabeth," I said. |
10 |
| 25 | 450 |
Suddenly she drew back in fury and struck me with the flat of her hand, a vicious slap, and then again and again, and again. |
10 |
| 25 | 460 |
And then, as I knew she would, she suddenly knelt before me, in fury, head down, arms extended, wrists crossed, submitting as a Gorean female. |
10 |
| 25 | 537 |
Then, suddenly, playfully, she put her head to the rug before me. |
10 |
| 25 | 546 |
"No!" she cried, suddenly frightened. |
10 |
| 25 | 560 |
Suddenly she kissed me, a deep kiss, moist, rich, too soon ended. |
10 |
| 25 | 586 |
The blaze of a challenge flared suddenly in her eyes. |
10 |
| 25 | 755 |
"A true man," she cried out suddenly, "would not behave so! No! A true man is gentle, kind, tender, respectful, at all times, sweet and solicitous! That is a true man!" I smiled at her defenses, so classical, so typical of the modern, unhappy, civilized female, desperately frightened of being truly ... |
10 |
| 25 | 763 |
Then, as I had expected, she suddenly wept, and doubtless with great sincerity. |
10 |
| 25 | 800 |
She cried out suddenly as she found herself fully mine. |
10 |
| 25 | 806 |
In her kiss I tasted blood, suddenly realizing that she had bitten me. |
10 |
| 25 | 823 |
Then, suddenly, as though startled, she would not move. |
10 |
| 25 | 844 |
She did not move, and then suddenly I felt the cut of her nails deep in my arms, and though her lips were open, her teeth were clenched, her head was back, the eyes closed, her hair tangled under her and over her body, and then her eyes seemed surprised, startled, and her shoulders lifted a bit from... |
10 |
| 26 | 46 |
The men held their fire, and the tarn, almost at the center of the compound, as far from our encircling positions as possible, suddenly plummeted downward, its wings high, opening them only at the last minute to land on the top of the keep, beyond accurate crossbow range. |
10 |
| 26 | 105 |
Behind them I was startled to see suddenly a scurrying figure in white and gold, Saphrar of Turia. |
10 |
| 26 | 151 |
Four spears, with bronze heads, suddenly burst across the passage, emerging from circular openings, their tips striking into other small openings across the passage. |
10 |
| 26 | 230 |
Ha-Keel looked up, suddenly, seeming to forget his sword and its oiling. |
10 |
| 26 | 278 |
The Paravaci suddenly cried out in uncanny fear and shuddered and, to my horror, the golden sphere, which he had succeeded in wresting from Saphrar, was thrown a dozen feet across the room, and shattered on the floor. |
10 |
| 26 | 332 |
Suddenly, far off, we heard a weird scream, high, wavering, and the shrill howls of frustrated sleen. |
10 |
| 26 | 343 |
The fat hands with the scarlet fingernails seemed suddenly to be drawn and thin, clutching. |
10 |
| 26 | 374 |
Suddenly like an explosion and conflagration the pool erupted into flames and Kamchak and I and Harold and the others shielded our faces and eyes and withdrew before the fury of the fire. |
10 |
| 26 | 552 |
Kamchak glared at Harold, and then at me, and then he looked down, scratching his ear; then he looked at us again, and all three of us suddenly burst together into laughter, and tears even streamed down Kamchak's face, running here and there amongst the scarred furrows on his cheeks. |
10 |
| 26 | 560 |
Again we laughed and, suddenly, we urged the kaiila forward in great bounding strides, eager to reach the wagons, each of us, for waiting in these wagons were three girls, desirable, marvelous, ours, Hereena, she who had been of the First Wagon, the slave of Harold, her master; Aphris of Turia, almo... |
10 |
| 27 | 48 |
Was it only because Kamchak believed, as he had once said, that the Wagon Peoples must have an enemy? —or was there some other reason, beyond that? Suddenly there was commotion at the door and three men, followed by some others, burst into the hall. |
10 |
| 27 | 129 |
"I love you," she said suddenly, "I love you—Tarl Cabot, Master". |

The Red, cursing, tried to force us up, where we might strike the unpadded bar; at our speed we might be cut in two; my tarn struggled to avoid the bar, not turning to do battle, but persisting in his race; I was suddenly aware of the arm of Menicius flying forward and I instinctively threw myself f... |

The wood leaped suddenly alive with a blaze that was almost a burst of fire and the three men staggered backward, their forearms thrown across their eyes. |

Suddenly a small figure burst through the door of the tavern, stumbling and rolling down the stairs, crying out. |

Elizabeth did so, and suddenly, superbly, she threw her arm before her mouth and cried out, as though just seeing me for the first time, and remembering me with horror. |
10 |
| 5 | 63 |
Then suddenly her face broke into a smile and she clapped her hands. |
10 |
| 5 | 113 |
Suddenly she stepped back, threw back her head, thrust one leg to the side, and lifted her arms. |
10 |
| 5 | 131 |
With a flourish I unrolled the furs, spilling Elizabeth out, who shrieked and began to crawl away, but my hand caught at the loop on the left shoulder of her garment and she turned suddenly, trying to sit up, her feet tangled in the garment and I kicked it away and took her in my arms. |
10 |
| 5 | 281 |
Suddenly she cried out, gasping. |
10 |

Misk's antennae suddenly focused intently on me. |
10 |

Suddenly Misk's antennae touched my shoulders and trembled there. |

Then, when they had their hands in one another's hair, kicking, the slave girl suddenly stopped, terrified, not seeing the gleaming, narrow band of steel locked on Elizabeth's throat. |
10 |
| 5 | 522 |
Suddenly the girl howled and fell to her knees before Elizabeth, kneeling trembling to the whip. |
10 |
| 5 | 724 |
I bent to Elizabeth's bonds to free her when suddenly there came a loud knock on the door of the compartment. |
10 |

I expect a great deal has to do with the girl's sensitivity to her audience, with her experience in playing to, and interacting with, different audiences, teasing and delighting them in different ways, making them think they will be disappointed, or that she is poor, and then suddenly, by contrast, ... |

Suddenly the girls stopped dancing, and the Musicians stopped playing; even those at the table stopped laughing and talking. |
10 |

"But," she said, suddenly, irritably, "that fingersnapping business was not necessary. |
10 |

Now, as though suddenly weary, she reclined on them, looked at me, and yawned. |
10 |

Flaminius gestured to the guard and he, with his club, suddenly struck the bars in front of Phyllis Robertson's face and she screamed and darted back in the cage, where she crouched away from the bars, tears in her eyes. |
10 |
| 11 | 297 |
"To suddenly understand that you are a natural slave?" "Please," said Virginia. |
10 |
| 11 | 343 |
Then suddenly she cried out and broke free and knelt in the back of the kennel, her face in her hands, weeping. |
10 |
| 11 | 346 |
"You beast!" Flaminius suddenly reached into the cage and, taking the girl by the wrists, jerked her against the bars, painfully so, holding her at arm's length cruelly against them. |
10 |
| 12 | 109 |
"Candies!" I looked down and was startled to see, some four tiers below, not seeing me, the pathetic, stubby, bulbous little body of Hup the Fool, limping and hopping about in the aisle, his large head on the fat little body lolling one way or another, the tongue occasionally, suddenly, unexpectedly... |
10 |
| 12 | 356 |
Then suddenly she struck at the three kneeling girls. |
10 |
| 13 | 89 |
Yet I pressed on, ever gaining, each of my muscles suddenly charged with the excitement of the pursuit of her. |
10 |
| 13 | 93 |
Suddenly she, sensing this too, became like a maddened, terrified water animal. |
10 |

My bird, so suddenly I was startled, joined the first. |

Suddenly with a snap of its wings I could hear more than two hundred yards away the tarn exploded from the perch, Mip low on its back, and streaked toward the first "ring," the first of three huge metal rectangles, before the round "rings" mounted at the corners and at the end of the dividing wall. |
10 |

During the next weeks and months the lessons of Flaminius were never again touched upon, except occasionally, for her amusement, by Sura, who would suddenly cry to one of the girls, at the same time brandishing the slave goad, such a query as "What do you want more than anything?" to which the girl,... |

"Bracelets!" snapped Ho-Sorl suddenly, and Phyllis flung her wrists behind her back, threw back her head and turned it to one side, the instantaneous response of a trained girl. |
10 |

Phyllis then, darting a look about her, suddenly turned and fled down one of the dark ramps at the races. |
10 |

I felt five or six more ropes suddenly looped about me, drawn tight. |
10 |
| 17 | 69 |
Suddenly the two girls on the ankle ropes jerked on their ropes and I fell heavily forward, spilling the wine to the stones. |
10 |
| 17 | 85 |
I heard the angry cries of the girls and their fists on the door for a moment, but then I heard them suddenly begin shrieking, and crying out, as though slavers might have fallen upon them. |
10 |
| 17 | 279 |
Relius put out his cup but before the girl could pour the wine she seemed suddenly to fly off the back of the dais, the seat of her tunic firmly grasped in the small hand of Virginia Kent. |

| 17 | 310 |
He put forth his goblet but, suddenly, unexpectedly, she drew back the pitcher. |
10 |
| 17 | 315 |
"I would serve you," she said, and put her hands behind his neck and suddenly pressed her lips, to the delight of those present, boldly to his. |
10 |
| 17 | 386 |
Then, angrily, Virginia Kent picked up Ho-Tu's bowl of gruel and, turning it completely upside down, dumped it suddenly on his head. |

10 |
| 17 | 505 |
Suddenly two guards entered the room, thrusting a woman before them. |
10 |
| 17 | 854 |
Then suddenly her eyes widened and she threw out her hand. |
10 |
| 18 | 4 |
"Ho-Tu, stop!" I pressed up and then, knowing his full weight was on the knife, I suddenly ceased resistance, removing my counter-pressure, and rolled from under him. |
10 |
| 18 | 275 |
Suddenly I heard an enraged roar from somewhere behind the door. |
10 |
| 18 | 281 |
Suddenly there was a wild cry from behind the door, of almost maniacal intensity, and I thought I heard something moving on the stones behind it, uncontrollable, clawed. |
10 |
| 18 | 315 |
I turned suddenly into the kitchen in which the food for the hall of Cernus is prepared. |
10 |
