Next to her is Sumomo, from Japan". |

The woman's name was Sumomo, and Tajima, I would later learn, was interested in her contract, which he could not afford. |
10 |
| 10 | 715 |
"The whip will teach her, and quickly," said Tajima, with, oddly, a glance at Sumomo, the contract woman who was on the right, as one would look to the dais. |
10 |
| 14 | 140 |
"To be sure," I said, "perhaps you are merely sneaking off for a secret rendezvous with the lovely Sumomo". |
10 |
| 14 | 158 |
"And would not Sumomo," I asked, "look pretty as such a slave beast?" "Perhaps," he said. |
10 |
| 14 | 220 |
"Sumomo?" he asked. |
10 |
| 18 | 75 |
"Are you interested in Sumomo?" I asked. |
10 |
| 18 | 76 |
"Who is Sumomo?" he asked. |
10 |
| 18 | 90 |
"I would see if Sumomo is alive," said Tajima. |
10 |
| 18 | 189 |
To be sure, neither of the contract women of Lord Nishida, one of whom was Sumomo, who was apparently of interest to Tajima, and the other of whom was Hana, as I later discovered, I was pleased to note, had adopted this practice. |
10 |
| 18 | 231 |
I took them to be Sumomo and Hana. |
10 |
| 18 | 239 |
He approached Sumomo. |
10 |
| 18 | 243 |
He then remained standing, where he was, where he had been rebuffed, looking after Sumomo, who was now with Hana, facing away from him, several feet from him, not far from the smoldering embers of Lord Nishida's collapsed, blackened pavilion. |
10 |
| 18 | 278 |
What man, after all, does not, in his deepest heart, want to own a woman? What could begin to compare with such a property? Perhaps, I thought, he has dreamed of another woman, a different slave, his, helpless at his feet? Would he have the courage, the will, the determination, the kindness, the com... |
10 |
| 18 | 286 |
"I do not think Sumomo understands that," said Pertinax. |
10 |
| 18 | 303 |
Sumomo, I noted, perhaps alerted by Hana, had turned about, to watch Tajima withdraw. |
10 |
| 18 | 308 |
He had been genuinely concerned with the safety and welfare of the contract woman, Sumomo. |
10 |
| 18 | 314 |
To be sure, there was little prospect of this, as Sumomo's contract was held by Lord Nishida. |
10 |
| 18 | 315 |
And doubtless the proud Sumomo was only too well aware of this fact. |
10 |
| 18 | 322 |
"Sumomo belongs in a collar," I said. |
10 |
| 18 | 329 |
I suspected, but did not remark it, that Sumomo's treatment of Tajima might have obscure motivations, motivations more subtle and deeper than a mere scorn for one she might despise as having been extracted from an alien world. |
10 |
| 18 | 530 |
I supposed Tajima had been interested in whether or not Sumomo might serve at such a feast. |
10 |
| 20 | 64 |
I did not think he would have viewed the matter in the same light had the girl been, say, Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 65 |
To be sure, Sumomo was of the Pani, and had the status of a contract woman. |
10 |
| 20 | 126 |
"Suppose it had been Sumomo," I said. |
10 |
| 24 | 34 |
On each side of the table, somewhat behind the table, were two contract women, demurely and tastefully kneeling, in their kimonos, Hana and Sumomo. |
10 |
| 25 | 256 |
I would seek out Tajima, who had not attended the feast, perhaps because of the absence of Sumomo, and other contract women, or perhaps because of the presence of female slaves. |
10 |
| 25 | 271 |
I wondered if he ever thought of the delicate, arrogant Sumomo so. |
10 |
| 27 | 23 |
In one of the wagons trundling past were several contract women, among them Sumomo and Hana, both of whom were under contract, as I understood it, to Lord Nishida. |
10 |
| 27 | 28 |
I speculated that Tajima would not have minded having the lovely, haughty Sumomo at his feet, not as a contract woman, of course, but as something far less, and far more desirable. |
10 |
| 29 | 6 |
I saw Sumomo and Hana, shading their eyes, emerge from the portal on their closed wagon and, standing on its small porch, strain to see what might be the cause of the ebullition. |
10 |
| 29 | 59 |
"How is Sumomo?" asked Tajima. |
10 |
| 38 | 514 |
With him were his guard, several officers, and two contract women, who were doubtless Sumomo and Hana. |
10 |
| 38 | 541 |
Certainly Sumomo and Hana, even though warmly wrapped, seemed miserable, in the background. |
10 |
| 38 | 556 |
Certainly Sumomo and Hana hurried aboard. |

Two contract women, as they are called, Sumomo and Hana, knelt nearby. |
10 |
| 16 | 72 |
The woman, Hana, looked at Sumomo, frightened. |
10 |
| 16 | 73 |
"Lord Nishida," said Sumomo, "was in meditation". |
10 |
| 16 | 75 |
"Lord Nishida was in meditation," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 17 | 76 |
Lord Nishida had two contract women, as the expression is, at his disposal, Sumomo and Hana. |

"I am Sumomo," she said, "daughter of Yamada, Shogun of the Islands!" "You are no longer Sumomo," I informed her. |
10 |
| 42 | 109 |
Would it not be a triumph for him, a delightful vengeance on Lord Yamada, and a lovely sop to his vanity, to organize similar suppers, even feasts, for his daimyos, officers, and retainers, feasts served by lovely but lowly barbarian slaves, indeed the very same who served the supper of Lord Yamada,... |
10 |
| 4 | 134 |
"—How fares Sumomo?" he asked. |
10 |
| 4 | 137 |
Sumomo was one of the two contract women whose contracts were held by Lord Nishida. |
10 |
| 4 | 139 |
I knew that Tajima was much interested in buying the contract of Sumomo, but it was not within his means. |
10 |
| 4 | 140 |
Sumomo, like Hana, who was somewhat older, was quite beautiful. |
10 |
| 4 | 147 |
That he should be taken with the haughty Sumomo, contract woman of a daimyo, who seemingly despised him, and surely treated him with contempt, seemed anomalous. |
10 |
| 4 | 148 |
I had never seen Sumomo other than in her decorous robes but I suspected that, properly exhibited, she would fetch a good price in a typical market on the continent, say, in Brundisium, Port Kar, Ko-ro-ba, Ar, or such. |
10 |
| 6 | 56 |
I did know Sumomo and Hana, contract women of Lord Nishida, largely from my relationship to Lord Nishida, to whom I usually reported. |
10 |
| 7 | 141 |
"Would you care for tea?" Lady Sumomo, the younger of his two contract women, was nearby, and ready to pour. |
10 |
| 7 | 251 |
"I see Sumomo is about," I said. |
10 |
| 7 | 390 |
Sumomo was kneeling at the low, oval table, with its surface of inlaid woods, on which reposed the service for tea. |
10 |
| 7 | 394 |
Sumomo then, her head down, demurely hurried away, with short steps. |
10 |
| 8 | 65 |
"Tajima, I fear," I said, "has an eye for Sumomo". |
10 |
| 11 | 51 |
"Have you detected him casting sidelong glances at Sumomo?" "Of course not," he said. |
10 |
| 11 | 347 |
"Sumomo," he said. |
10 |
| 11 | 371 |
"We now know that Sumomo is at least involved in these matters". |
10 |
| 12 | 39 |
Her garmenture was not unlike that of the contract women I had seen in Tarncamp, in Shipcamp, in the holding, and elsewhere, such as Hana, Sumomo, Hisui, and others. |
10 |
| 12 | 149 |
Daichi, dour and gaunt, the reader of bones and shells, was in the room, sitting to the left of Lord Temmu, and, surprisingly, behind the shogun and a bit to the left, as well, was a contract woman, standing, Sumomo. |
10 |
| 12 | 150 |
I recalled that Tajima, in his vigil on the outer parapet, had noted Sumomo's presence there, and had witnessed her casting something over the parapet, presumably to be retrieved by some confederate below. |
10 |
| 12 | 151 |
He had surmised, plausibly enough, that Sumomo had acted on behalf of Lord Nishida, whose presence on the parapet, if not indiscreet, would have been likely to attract attention. |
10 |
| 12 | 152 |
I knew little of Sumomo other than the fact that she was the younger, and more beautiful, of two beautiful women whose contracts were held by Lord Nishida. |
10 |
| 12 | 164 |
Sumomo, as nearly as I could tell, was well aware of the distress and torment which she wrought in the breast of the young warrior and this recognition, rather than bringing about its diminishment or abatement, seemed to have spurred her to its augmentation. |
10 |
| 12 | 241 |
What are the babblings of an entranced sibyl, moaning and swaying on her tripod, drunk with fumes, without the enlightening interpretations of astute priests? I then understood better why Sumomo was present. |
10 |
| 12 | 281 |
But Sumomo had already drawn to the side, where three small cups resided on a flat lacquered tray. |
10 |
| 12 | 287 |
Sumomo politely, her head shyly down, held the tray first to Lord Temmu and then to Daichi. |
10 |
| 12 | 294 |
Sumomo, of course, was not a slave, at least per se, but a contract woman. |
10 |
| 12 | 301 |
Too, I had paid careful attention to the small, lovely hands of Sumomo. |
10 |
| 12 | 327 |
"Perhaps Sumomo could light a lamp," I said. |
10 |
| 12 | 367 |
I heard Sumomo laugh, merrily. |
10 |
| 13 | 180 |
And Sumomo's role, I anticipated, was largely that of communicating Daichi's information, available from Lord Temmu, to the enemy, by so simple a contrivance as casting missives over the parapet, to be retrieved below. |
10 |
| 14 | 153 |
Her name is Sumomo. |
10 |
| 16 | 55 |
I recalled that neither Lord Nishida nor Lord Okimoto had been at the meeting with Lord Temmu, that also attended by Daichi and, to my surprise at the time, Sumomo. |
10 |
| 16 | 56 |
I did not now know Sumomo's whereabouts, but had gathered that Lord Yamada, displeased with her, would arrange, by means of the contrived readings of Daichi, that she be brought somewhere into his regions, perhaps to the palace, to be dealt with as a failed spy. |
10 |
| 17 | 182 |
He is returning with my daughter, Sumomo". |
10 |
| 17 | 194 |
"Sumomo has disappointed me," he said. |
10 |
| 17 | 204 |
"Too, Sumomo is light". |
10 |
| 17 | 212 |
Tyrtaios had his back to me as he was graciously assisting the delicate, richly-clad Sumomo from the saddle ladder to the ground. |
10 |
| 20 | 11 |
Sumomo, in beautiful silks, a daughter of the shogun, knelt between Tajima and Pertinax. |
10 |
| 20 | 12 |
I had been startled to see Sumomo at the table. |
10 |
| 20 | 20 |
He had determined to destroy Sumomo as a failed agent. |
10 |
| 20 | 22 |
Sumomo herself seemed utterly unaware that she might be in danger. |
10 |
| 20 | 40 |
I did not doubt but what this was because a free woman was to be present, Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 48 |
"Slaves are despicable," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 50 |
"Their tunics are scarcely covering," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 52 |
"You can see so much of their bodies," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 54 |
"Disgusting," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 66 |
"So have I," said Tajima, regarding Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 67 |
"It is not necessary, the collars," said Sumomo, uneasily, the fingers of her right hand lightly, thoughtlessly, at her own throat. |
10 |
| 20 | 70 |
"By their skin color," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 73 |
"I see no marks," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 80 |
"Accordingly, there is no mistaking a collar slut," said Tajima, pleasantly, regarding Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 85 |
"Many slaves are not collared," said Tajima, looking at Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 88 |
"Still!" protested Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 90 |
Sumomo was silent. |
10 |
| 20 | 92 |
"I see," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 103 |
"Sumomo," I said, "as you now realize, is a daughter of Lord Yamada. |
10 |
| 20 | 118 |
"What are you talking about?" asked Sumomo, testily. |
10 |
| 20 | 121 |
Lord Yamada is now well aware of the disclosure of Sumomo's secret commission, the detection of her action on the parapet, that the nature of her role in the holding of Lord Temmu has been brought to light, as she apparently is not. |
10 |
| 20 | 125 |
It is his intention to have Sumomo put to death, I gather most unpleasantly". |
10 |
| 20 | 134 |
"Stop babbling in some barbarous tongue," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 141 |
"I thought," said Tajima, turning to Sumomo, on his right, "you were a contract woman". |
10 |
| 20 | 180 |
Sumomo glanced to the serving slaves, as, head down and deferentially, they attended to the wants of the diners. |
10 |
| 20 | 191 |
"Slave!" snapped Sumomo, to Cecily, who, startled, apprehensive, looked to the guests' table, from where she now knelt, near the serving table. |
10 |
| 20 | 192 |
"Approach," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 193 |
Uneasily the slave, once Miss Virginia Cecily Jean Pym, approached Sumomo, and knelt before her, her head down. |
10 |
| 20 | 197 |
"Kneel up," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 207 |
"How are you here?" inquired Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 209 |
"Why?" asked Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 211 |
"I see," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 213 |
"Have you stolen any food?" inquired Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 215 |
"Have you been fed?" asked Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 219 |
"Perhaps," said Sumomo, "the men will throw you some food later, or feed you". |
10 |
| 20 | 221 |
"Doubtless such as you hope to please your masters," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 223 |
"Are you a slut?" asked Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 226 |
"Are you a sex-tarsk?" asked Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 228 |
"You are a pretty little sex-tarsk," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 230 |
I did not think that Sumomo was any larger than Cecily. |
10 |
| 20 | 231 |
"You are not your own," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 240 |
"What!" cried Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 242 |
"She-tarsk, worthless she-tarsk!" cried Sumomo, leaping to her feet. |
10 |
| 20 | 244 |
"You should be whipped, and whipped!" cried Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 253 |
"You are dismissed," said Sumomo, angrily, returning to her place, kneeling. |
10 |
| 20 | 272 |
"Sumomo," said Lord Yamada. |
10 |
| 20 | 281 |
"Yes," said Sumomo, suddenly, "of course". |
10 |
| 20 | 287 |
I recalled that he had been willing to place Sumomo, in the guise of a contract woman, in the very holding of his mortal enemy, Lord Temmu. |
10 |
| 20 | 289 |
"Please, noble warrior," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 293 |
"Let us enter the garden, noble warrior," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 297 |
Indeed, Sumomo, in Tarncamp, in Shipcamp, on the great ship, and in the holding of Lord Temmu, though supposedly only a contract woman, had treated him with derision and contempt, rather as might have the daughter of a shogun mocked and scorned the attentions of a lowly armsman. |
10 |
| 20 | 302 |
"Please," said Sumomo, looking over her shoulder at Tajima, and smiling. |
10 |
| 20 | 305 |
He then followed Sumomo down the three steps into the beckoning, moonlit garden. |
10 |
| 20 | 306 |
I did not know if this had been well done, or not, but, at least, Tajima was now in a position to inform the lovely Sumomo of her jeopardy. |
10 |
| 20 | 329 |
I think very little time had passed when Sumomo, holding her kimono about herself, her face dark with anger, ascended the three steps, went behind the table, and resumed her position, kneeling. |
10 |
| 20 | 354 |
Sumomo smiled. |
10 |
| 20 | 356 |
"Of course," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 361 |
A small, angry noise escaped Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 430 |
"Sumomo is Pani," said Tajima. |
10 |
| 20 | 431 |
"What are you talking about?" asked Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 479 |
Sumomo gasped. |
10 |
| 20 | 496 |
"She should be whipped," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 499 |
"Of course," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 510 |
Who knows who will stray by the brook, and at what time? "Perhaps you, too, should withdraw," said Tajima to Sumomo. |
10 |
| 20 | 600 |
"Where is Sumomo?" asked Lord Akio. |
10 |
| 21 | 109 |
It may be recalled that Lord Yamada had been displeased with the foiled espionage of his daughter, Sumomo, who had been placed as a supposed contract woman in the quarters of Lord Nishida, a daimyo of Lord Temmu. |
10 |
| 21 | 119 |
I had little doubt that Pertinax had claimed his Jane; on the other hand, there was much stir in the palace the next morning, for Tajima, I would suppose at great risk, had sought out Sumomo in her quarters, subdued her, and apparently carried her, bound and gagged, and wrapped in the blanket, from ... |
10 |
| 21 | 121 |
Whereas I had little love for the vain, smug, supercilious Sumomo I certainly would have had no wish for her to be put to some prolonged, horrid death, of the sort which might be contrived by Lord Yamada's torturers and executioners. |
10 |
| 21 | 122 |
I was thus rather pleased at Tajima's boldness, and hoped that he would get Sumomo into a collar as soon as possible. |
10 |
| 21 | 124 |
I had little doubt that Lord Yamada seethed with rage at the abduction of Sumomo. |
10 |
| 21 | 130 |
By now I supposed a stripped and collared Sumomo was learning to crawl to a man, bringing him his whip, held between her small, fine teeth. |
10 |
| 21 | 132 |
"Greetings, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 21 | 133 |
"Lady Sumomo!" I said. |
10 |
| 21 | 136 |
Sumomo was in an exquisite kimono, with a lovely obi. |
10 |
| 21 | 158 |
"I am Sumomo," she said, "daughter of Lord Yamada, Shogun of the Islands". |
10 |
| 21 | 172 |
Too, it did not seem that Tajima, no matter his will or fortitude, his agility and supple strength, could meet the rendezvous on time, bearing Sumomo, despite her lightness and small frame. |
10 |
| 21 | 220 |
It alarmed me that Sumomo was here, in the garden. |
10 |
| 21 | 250 |
Still the projected schedule might have been satisfied, save for Tajima's concern to protect Sumomo from a fate of which she had no inkling, a concern apparently agreeable to, and accepted by, Pertinax. |
10 |
| 21 | 253 |
"Some twenty Ehn later," said Sumomo, "their fears of the departure of their fellow, to my relief, were confirmed, for the point of rendezvous had apparently been reached, a sheltered glade more than a hundred paces from the road. |
10 |
| 21 | 368 |
'I am Sumomo, daughter of the shogun!' I cried. |
10 |
| 21 | 376 |
Certainly I had waited long enough for this intelligence, which I supposed Sumomo had relished withholding from me, until the last moment. |
10 |
| 21 | 377 |
"Unfortunately," said Sumomo. |
10 |
| 21 | 484 |
"Lady Sumomo," said the first Ashigaru, politely, "we have come for you". |
10 |
| 21 | 486 |
"I have been waiting," said Sumomo, unpleasantly. |
10 |
| 21 | 490 |
Lord Yamada, who was thoughtful and sensitive, must have been aware of my likely concern in that regard, particularly if I might discover the return of Sumomo. |
10 |
| 21 | 494 |
"What are you doing?" exclaimed Sumomo. |
10 |
| 21 | 497 |
A leash then, by the third Ashigaru, was snapped about the neck of Sumomo. |
10 |
| 21 | 498 |
"Release me!" cried Sumomo. |
10 |
| 21 | 499 |
"This is madness! This is unconscionable! Do you fools not know who I am?" "You are Lady Sumomo, daughter of Lord Yamada, Shogun of the Islands". |
10 |
| 22 | 1 |
What Occurred During Tea with the Shogun "Great lord," I said to Lord Yamada, "I am come to beg the life of your daughter, Sumomo". |
10 |
| 22 | 11 |
"I ask only," I said, "that you spare the life of your daughter, Sumomo". |
10 |
| 22 | 82 |
"I beg for the life of your daughter, Sumomo," I said. |
10 |
| 23 | 177 |
"Sumomo," I said, "is high born". |
10 |
| 23 | 182 |
"You have heard of the projected fate of Sumomo," I said. |
10 |
| 23 | 298 |
"You might also," said Haruki, "inform the house of Temmu of the projected fate of the beauteous Lady Sumomo. |
10 |
| 23 | 307 |
"I shall convey the projected fate of the Lady Sumomo to the House of Temmu," I said. |
10 |
| 24 | 65 |
"Still," said Lord Akio, thoughtfully, "the punishment of the Lady Sumomo seems light, compared to the gravity of the offense". |
10 |
| 24 | 66 |
"I thought," said the shogun, "you aspired to the hand of the Lady Sumomo". |
10 |
| 24 | 136 |
"The wicked Sumomo!" cried a man. |
10 |
| 24 | 182 |
"The Lady Sumomo!". |
10 |
| 25 | 18 |
Sumomo, bound, an Ashigaru holding to each arm, ascended the three wide steps encircling the pool. |
10 |
| 25 | 22 |
Sumomo turned toward her father, sobbing, crying out for mercy. |
10 |
| 25 | 54 |
Sumomo's bound, unconscious body was held between the two Ashigaru, these abreast, ascending the steps, each with a bound arm in his keeping. |
10 |
| 25 | 69 |
The two Ashigaru, bearing the bound, unconscious Sumomo between them, were nearly to the summit of the platform. |
10 |
| 25 | 81 |
The Ashigaru had now reached the summit of the platform, and had placed the inert body of Sumomo on its surface. |
10 |
| 25 | 91 |
"Sumomo is revived," said Lord Akio. |
10 |
| 25 | 92 |
I could see that Sumomo, supported by the two Ashigaru, had been brought to the forward edge of the platform, where she might look down to the pool below. |
10 |
| 25 | 109 |
Sumomo stood, unsteadily, at the height of the platform. |
10 |
| 25 | 121 |
There were two of the masked Ashigaru on the platform with Sumomo. |
10 |
| 25 | 145 |
Sumomo had moved a bit out, onto the board. |
10 |
| 25 | 154 |
Sumomo wavered on the board. |
10 |
| 25 | 162 |
Sumomo cried out, piteously, as a glaive thrust at her back, and she staggered another foot or two out on the board, her head turning, looking wildly, blindly, about. |

| 25 | 167 |
Frightened, uncertainly, Sumomo moved a bit further on the board. |
10 |
| 25 | 175 |
Sumomo moved but half a step further on the board, which now bent slightly under her. |
10 |
| 25 | 198 |
Sumomo was then twice jabbed in the back, to urge her forward. |
10 |
| 25 | 208 |
Sumomo, half bent over, with great care, bound, blindfolded, barefoot, hort by hort, feeling ahead of her with each step, bit by bit, moved toward the end of the board. |
10 |
| 25 | 221 |
I could almost sense Sumomo trembling, and trying to breathe, teetering on the narrow, unstable support which held her from the pool far below, that bending, narrow, unsteady bridge lacking a farther shore. |
10 |
| 25 | 240 |
Move! Move!" Sumomo was now at the end of the board. |
10 |
| 25 | 257 |
"Do not move!" I cried to Sumomo. |
10 |
| 25 | 258 |
"Do not move!" "Move!" cried one of the Ashigaru on the platform to Sumomo. |
10 |
| 25 | 275 |
Surely he knew she was not a slave! Crying out in confusion, and misery, Sumomo, obedient, bound and blindfolded, leaped from the board's edge into nothing, and plummeted downward, the skirt of her sheetlike garment torn high about her thighs, and was caught in the arms of Tajima, who threw her on h... |
10 |
| 25 | 285 |
Sumomo, I now realized, though I was not surprised, had lovely legs. |
10 |
| 25 | 289 |
Yes, I thought, Sumomo might bring a good price off a slave block. |
10 |
| 25 | 304 |
"Sumomo," he said, "is a free woman". |
10 |
| 25 | 310 |
I considered the bared legs of Sumomo. |
10 |
| 25 | 318 |
If a free woman had been as much exposed as Sumomo, she might, in her humiliation, repudiate her compromised, outraged freedom, and seek the collar, regarding herself as now worthy of no more. |
10 |
| 25 | 339 |
The masked Ashigaru, Lord Yamada's secret death squad, the ten who had been waiting at the foot of the platform, and the two who had taken Sumomo to its perilous height, had now departed the stadium. |
10 |
| 26 | 37 |
"Perhaps then, too," he said, "we might add the tarnsman and Sumomo to the festivities". |
10 |
| 27 | 166 |
"When in the stadium the tarnsman made away with Sumomo, Lord Yamada issued orders that Tyrtaios, his servitor, was to be asaddle within Ehn, in pursuit. |
10 |
| 28 | 34 |
With daring, and sustaining great risk, he fled with Sumomo, the shogun's daughter, rescuing her but a moment before she would have plunged into the pool of death eels". |
10 |
| 29 | 14 |
"It is Sumomo!" I whispered. |
10 |
| 29 | 140 |
"But, if you were," said Tajima, "what then?" "If I were a slave," said Sumomo, "I would, of course, be subject to the whip, as any other slave". |
10 |
| 29 | 144 |
"Yes," she said, "Sumomo, free woman, daughter of Lord Yamada, Shogun of the Islands!" "Slaves," I said, "do not have names, unless it pleases masters to give them one". |
10 |
| 29 | 261 |
"You might be mistaken for Sumomo, the daughter of the shogun". |
10 |
| 29 | 414 |
She who had been the unpleasant, difficult, lofty, haughty Sumomo was now on all fours, collared. |
10 |
| 29 | 515 |
"Am I Sumomo?" she asked, timidly. |
10 |
| 29 | 521 |
"What do you think of 'Sumomo'?" he said. |
10 |
| 30 | 147 |
On the other hand, perhaps it would have taken a familiar, keen eye, one well acquainted with the girl, to behold the features of the sophisticated, delicate, elegant Sumomo in the uplifted, sullied, frightened visage of Tajima's Nezumi. |
10 |
| 30 | 419 |
"She is quite different from she whom I once knew as Sumomo," said Haruki. |
10 |
| 30 | 420 |
"She whom I once knew as Sumomo was a free woman, delicate and refined, as fragile, soft, and exquisite as the petal of a veminium, but, too, petty and unpleasant, cruel and deceitful, arrogant and haughty, impatient and short-tempered, clad in rich garmenture, with silken slippers, with long hair, ... |

"The rider of a demon bird has visited a hundred villages, alerting them to watch for a tarnsman and Sumomo, the stolen daughter of the shogun". |
10 |
| 34 | 10 |
"It is thought," said Yasushi, "that the bold tarnsman and his fair captive, Sumomo, outdistanced their pursuit and that she is now a prisoner in the holding of Temmu, the Wicked, or somewhere in a nest of demon birds". |
10 |
| 34 | 45 |
"You are, as I have it," said Yasushi, "a special officer, and, it seems, your special office, presumably shared with others, is to locate and apprehend an unknown tarnsman and a high lady, Sumomo, the daughter of Lord Yamada". |
10 |
| 34 | 57 |
He will be familiar with Sumomo. |
10 |
| 34 | 58 |
He need only look at the field slave, and see that she is not Sumomo. |
10 |
| 34 | 60 |
"And what if the field slave is Sumomo?" asked Kazumitsu. |
10 |
| 34 | 62 |
"What if it is Sumomo?" "Then," said Yasushi, "you will report to the shogun, your office well discharged, and accept his gratitude". |
10 |
| 34 | 73 |
He will be quite familiar with Sumomo. |
10 |
| 34 | 75 |
He will see immediately that the field slave is not Sumomo". |
10 |
| 35 | 2 |
"Lord Akio knows me, from the day of the supper with Lord Yamada, and will certainly recognize Sumomo. |
10 |
| 36 | 2 |
By now, perhaps the eighth Ahn, we supposed that Yasushi would have visited Lord Akio, and Lord Akio would have had an opportunity to make his determination with respect to Nezumi, who was not with us, discovering her to be the former Sumomo. |
10 |
| 36 | 3 |
It would then be an immediate inference that the Pani warrior with us was he who had made away with Sumomo. |
10 |
| 39 | 34 |
"He set forth on some desperate adventure, one involving the worthless Sumomo. |
10 |
| 39 | 41 |
"Sumomo," I said, "was to be fed to death eels". |
10 |
| 39 | 108 |
"She who was once Sumomo," I said, "now no more than a rather pretty, marked, collared slave". |
10 |
| 44 | 14 |
The reader, Daichi, had disappeared from the holding of Temmu, I had learned, shortly after the discovery of Sumomo's espionage. |
10 |
| 44 | 16 |
Fortunately for Sumomo she had been removed from the holding by Tyrtaios before she was to have been cast from the outer parapet to the ground below, at the very time it was supposed that her next secret message would be anticipated below. |
10 |
| 44 | 17 |
The former Sumomo, now Tajima's slave, Nezumi, and the slaves Saru, Jane, and Cecily were all at the encampment of tarns. |
10 |
| 44 | 19 |
If she were housed in the holding of Temmu, it seemed likely that she, even with cropped hair and in the garment of a field slave, would be recognized as the former Sumomo, and dealt with accordingly. |
10 |
| 47 | 97 |
"Where is Sumomo?" asked the shogun. |
10 |
| 47 | 98 |
"Sumomo no longer exists," said Tajima. |
10 |
| 47 | 155 |
It was here, too, that Tyrtaios had brought his tarn down, delivering the unsuspecting Sumomo to the mercies of her father. |
10 |
| 57 | 176 |
"You have heard of the Lady Sumomo?" he inquired. |
10 |
| 57 | 181 |
"She who was the Lady Sumomo," said Tajima, "is now a slave". |
10 |
| 59 | 29 |
One was Yasushi, whom I knew from the battle of the inn, before we were taken into custody by Kazumitsu, the special officer of Lord Yamada, who had been searching for Sumomo and her abductor. |
