12 82 I wondered casually why Kamchak was taking the girls, for the proprietor of the slave wagon would surely want his fee for them as well as us.

10
14 53 Surely great Ar was not at war with the Tuchuks of the southern plains.

14 91 "Surely," said Kamchak, "for who could hire tarnsmen but Saphrar of Turia—or arrange for the diversion that drew fools to the edge of the herds?" I was silent.
