14 1 Tajima and I Hold Converse "You are quick," said Tajima, lowering the wooden blade in the dojo.
Details
10
15 391 I had given Tajima one of the rubies I had retained from the Steel World, that Nodachi might be compensated for his services, but Tajima had returned the stone to me.
Details
10
16 177 In a moment I dispatched Tajima and Pertinax, whom I had had train with Tajima, to pursue the fugitive, whom they had not even seen.
Details
10
8 1 Tajima; A Woman of Earth is to be Presented to Lord Nishida It was now the next morning.
Details
10
8 128 "I am Tajima," he said.
Details
10
8 137 Tajima seemed startled.
Details
10
8 144 "She is a free woman?" said Tajima.
Details
10
8 146 "What of the dark-haired collar-girl?" asked Tajima.
Details
10
8 150 "I was told to expect two free men and a slave," said Tajima, "but I find two free men, and two slaves".
Details
10
8 153 "Lord Nishida," said Tajima, "is fond of yellow-haired collar-girls".
Details
10
8 165 "Wait, please," said Tajima.
Details
10
8 167 "If there is a confusion in this matter," said Tajima, "it will be clarified, three days from today, at the camp".
Details
10
8 168 "'Three days'!" exclaimed Miss Wentworth! "Two days with men," said Tajima, "three days with females".
Details
10
8 176 "'Earth'?" said Tajima.
Details
10
8 178 I did not know if Tajima was familiar with the Second Knowledge, or only the First, or, indeed, even if these distinctions were appropriate in his case.
Details
10
8 181 I detected a brief flicker of displeasure in the eyes of Tajima, but his countenance, almost instantly, resumed its attitude of almost solicitous attention.
Details
10
8 182 I did not know Tajima, nor was I familiar with his background, but I sensed that he was of a sort which might be acutely sensitive, perhaps pathologically so, to the way in which he was treated.
Details
10
8 183 Rougher, bluffer fellows might have discounted or dismissed Pertinax's rudeness as mere tastelessness or stupidity, or even found it amusing, but I did not think that this would be the case with Tajima.
Details
10
8 186 "He is tired, and upset," I said to Tajima.
Details
10
8 200 "I am sorry," said Pertinax to Tajima.
Details
10
8 204 "I am the fool," said Pertinax to Tajima, in Gorean, "not you.
Details
10
8 208 Tajima, interestingly, looked to me.
Details
10
8 211 Tajima turned to Pertinax.
Details
10
8 217 "I am not a fool," said Tajima to Pertinax.
Details
10
8 219 "There is no ship," said Tajima.
Details
10
8 222 "No ship," said Tajima.
Details
10
8 224 "It is you who are the fools," said Tajima.
Details
10
8 226 "If it exists," said Tajima, "it is being applied elsewhere, otherwise than to fill purses such as yours".
Details
10
8 228 "I shall," said Tajima.
Details
10
8 233 "That is possible," said Tajima, politely.
Details
10
8 237 "I am sure he will," said Tajima, politely.
Details
10
8 238 It was interesting to me that Tajima seemed to take no umbrage whatsoever at the attitude and words of Miss Wentworth.
Details
10
8 240 Tajima seemed to consider her insult as nothing to be dealt with within the context of honor, though perhaps, I supposed, it might be dealt with, and suitably, outside of that context, perhaps as one might see fit to deal with the behavior of a small, naughty animal.
Details
10
8 241 "You have been unaccommodating, even insolent," said Miss Wentworth to Tajima.
Details
10
8 243 "Your dress is quite short," observed Tajima, as politely as ever.
Details
10
8 252 "I will be very pleased to see him!" "I think he will be pleased to see you, as well," said Tajima.
Details
10
8 254 "Yes," said Tajima, "I think you should hope that".
Details
10
8 256 "It will not go well with you, if he is disappointed," said Tajima.
Details
10
8 258 Tajima then turned to Pertinax.
Details
10
8 262 "Where?" "Anywhere you wish," said Tajima.
Details
10
8 276 "As you wish," said Tajima to Pertinax.
Details
10
8 278 "No," said Tajima.
Details
10
8 281 Then Tajima turned to me.
Details
10
8 286 "I serve," said Tajima.
Details
10
8 288 "Then," said Tajima, "I think it would be well for him to present her to Lord Nishida.
Details
10
8 291 "Precisely," said Tajima.
Details
10
8 304 "Untie my hands! Take this degrading rope from my neck!" "If would be better if they were hooded," said Tajima.
Details
10
8 307 "Turn them about," said Tajima.
Details
10
8 345 "We should be on our way," said Tajima.
Details
10
8 356 "You are from Earth," said Tajima.
Details
10
9 2 "I regret my unimportance," said Tajima.
Details
10
9 4 With a courteous bow, Tajima withdrew.
Details
10
9 49 Once in the camp, with the license of Tajima, whom we took as our mentor and guide in these matters, we had freed the girls of their impediments, removing the hoods and leashes, and then unbinding their small wrists.
Details
10
9 51 "I am a free woman," had said Miss Wentworth to Tajima, rubbing her wrists.
Details
10
9 54 "I am sure you will not appear before him so garbed," said Tajima, politely, and left, quietly, as was his wont.
Details
10
9 371 If some women were slaves, and wished to be slaves, and loved being owned, and wanted to be at the feet of masters, why should she object? What was it to her? "Have I come at an inopportune time?" inquired Tajima.
Details
10
9 374 "Lord Nishida," said Tajima, "regrets the delay, but he was awaiting an envoy, one from exalted personages".
Details
10
9 381 "Your slave is very pretty," said Tajima, noting Cecily.
Details
10
9 392 "Do white women make pleasing slaves?" asked Tajima.
Details
10
9 396 "Bring me something suitable!" "I have," said Tajima, who held, over his left forearm, what appeared to be, arranged in several narrow folds, a sheet of rep cloth.
Details
10
9 398 "Outside," said Tajima, "there are three tubs, filled with hot water, in which you may soak, and enjoy yourselves.
Details
10
9 402 "Interesting," said Tajima.
Details
10
9 405 "No?" asked Tajima.
Details
10
9 407 "You do not wish to bathe?" asked Tajima, surprised.
Details
10
9 410 "We shall proceed immediately then," said Tajima.
Details
10
9 413 "A most suitable suggestion," said Tajima.
Details
10
9 417 "I will send two men to conduct you to the audience," said Tajima to Miss Wentworth.
Details
10
9 419 "As you wish," said Tajima.
Details
10
9 422 "It is not customary," said Tajima.
Details
10
9 423 I then accompanied Tajima from the hut, as did Pertinax, save that he waited discreetly outside, until Miss Wentworth would be ready to attend the audience.
Details
10
9 432 "These would have bathed you," said Tajima.
Details
10
9 437 "You may look upon them as you wish," said Tajima.
Details
10
9 444 "They were both free women of Ar, even of high station," said Tajima.
Details
10
9 447 "I have heard that," said Tajima.
Details
10
9 456 What might be, I wondered, the interest of Priest-Kings, or Kurii, in this area, at this time? "We are a formal, traditional people," said Tajima.
Details
10
9 463 "We have had them for centuries," said Tajima.
Details
10
9 473 "One slave to bathe you," said Tajima, one to bathe Pertinax".
Details
10
9 475 "Assuredly," said Tajima, "but is it not pleasant to be bathed by a naked slave?" "Yes," I said.
Details
10
9 476 "The small pleasures of life," said Tajima, "are not to be scorned".
Details
10
9 478 "Besides," said Tajima, "the act is beneficial for the women, as well.
Details
10
9 483 "Your slave," said Tajima, "would use your tub, after you had finished".
Details
10
9 491 "Do not be dismayed," said Tajima, "it is from the pavilion of Lord Nishida".
Details
10
9 493 "It is," said Tajima.
Details
10
10 7 The longer of the two swords was not unlike that carried by Tajima, thrust in his belt, edge uppermost.
Details
10
10 15 "You have made the acquaintance, of course," he added, "of our trusted and loyal servitor, Tajima".
Details
10
10 19 Tajima was standing behind me, to my right.
Details
10
10 55 I wondered if they were examples of the "contract women" of which Tajima had spoken.
Details
10
10 108 "Two met our friend, Tarl Cabot, as planned, and brought him to the reserve, where contact took place between him and Tajima," he said.
Details
10
10 121 "Tajima," said Lord Nishida, quietly.
Details
10
10 122 "Yes," said Tajima.
Details
10
10 125 Why did you not kill him?" "I was reluctant to stain my blade with inferior blood, that of a weakling," said Tajima.
Details
10
10 129 Tajima bowed his head, slightly, acknowledging this judgment of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 135 "Put a sword in his hand, and put him against our servitor, Tajima".
Details
10
10 146 Tajima then backed away from him, and, smoothly, drew forth his own weapon, which he gripped with two hands, and assumed what, for such a weapon, was apparently an on-guard position.
Details
10
10 156 Tajima moved toward Pertinax, and, twice, feinted toward him.
Details
10
10 158 "You will now kill him," said Lord Nishida to Tajima.
Details
10
10 159 I recalled Tajima was in training.
Details
10
10 160 Tajima turned away from Pertinax, and faced Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 162 Tajima had his back to Pertinax.
Details
10
10 165 Tajima seemed wholly at ease, even disgusted, certainly indolent.
Details
10
10 170 Instantly Tajima had whirled about, his sword ready to fend a blow.
Details
10
10 180 Tajima returned his sword to his belt.
Details
10
10 191 Lord Nishida then looked to Tajima.
Details
10
10 197 Tajima bowed politely, and then motioned for Pertinax to follow him, and went toward the threshold of the pavilion.
Details
10
10 198 Shortly thereafter, a small figure, completely covered, from head to foot, wholly concealed in a large sheet of white rep-cloth, was conducted forward, a guard on each side of it, Pertinax a little before it, on its left, and Tajima in the background.
Details
10
10 253 Lord Nishida made a tiny motion with his right hand, and Tajima put his hands, gently, to that portion of the sheet which was wrapped about the head and face of the bundled figure.
Details
10
10 258 Tajima then, carefully, lifted the sheet away from the figure's head, and it was, indeed, Miss Wentworth, who shook her head, angrily, as though to free her head even the more swiftly from the folds of the sheet.
Details
10
10 313 Tajima, carefully, unbuckled the gag and handed it to the guard on Miss Wentworth's left, who slipped it in his pouch.
Details
10
10 316 "Please," said Tajima, "do not speak yet.
Details
10
10 323 "One moment," said Tajima.
Details
10
10 326 "Please," said Tajima, politely.
Details
10
10 332 Tajima stepped back, and seemed satisfied with his work.
Details
10
10 334 Tajima then turned to Pertinax.
Details
10
10 364 "A lord," said Tajima.
Details
10
10 366 "Yes," said Tajima.
Details
10
10 395 This displeased Tajima, but the girl did not seem disconcerted by his disapproval.
Details
10
10 397 The woman's name was Sumomo, and Tajima, I would later learn, was interested in her contract, which he could not afford.
Details
10
10 543 "If you persist in this matter," said Tajima, "it may be necessary to once again restrict your speech".
Details
10
10 551 Then Lord Nishida addressed Tajima.
Details
10
10 554 Tajima held the sheet in place.
Details
10
10 607 "Now," said Lord Nishida to Tajima, "let us see her".
Details
10
10 609 Tajima lifted a finger, and each guard, of those flanking Miss Wentworth, and who had held her, generally, respectively, by the upper arms, now each took a wrist, and, a moment later, an upper arm.
Details
10
10 613 "Please, please," protested Tajima.
Details
10
10 653 Tajima had retrieved the sheet and had now refolded it, and held it over his arm.
Details
10
10 710 "I fear, Lord Nishida," said Tajima to Lord Nishida, "the woman is unutterably stupid".
Details
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.
Details
10
10 717 She sneered at Tajima.
Details
10
10 775 "And this one," said Tajima, who had had, from the beginning, as I understood it, reservations pertaining to the former Miss Wentworth, "as she would be unworthy meat for larls or sleen, may be bound and cast into the garbage pit for the delectation of swarming urts".
Details
10
11 44 Also, I had learned from Tajima, it is found, here and there, in the home, so to speak, of the "strange men".
Details
10
11 51 In any event Tajima, when he put the slave before him on her knees, in the stable, to be named, told her, in English, that there be no mistaking the matter, and she clearly understand what was being done to her, what 'Saru' meant, its connotations, and such.
Details
10
11 65 "You are no longer Miss Margaret Wentworth," Tajima explained to her.
Details
10
11 341 It was shown to me by Tajima, for he often visits its vicinity, though for what reason other than the water I know not.
Details
10
12 1 The Plaza of Training "You have trainers?" I asked Tajima.
Details
10
12 7 "No," said Tajima, "you are a rider, and a warrior".
Details
10
12 10 Tajima seized my arm.
Details
10
12 13 "No," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 18 "Now, and again," said Tajima, "some will flee the camp".
Details
10
12 21 "The camp, I gather, is not to be fled?" "No," said Tajima, "it is not permitted".
Details
10
12 23 "They are afraid," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 26 "That, too," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 28 "True," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 35 "For purposes of war, of course," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 37 "Elsewhere," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 44 "Elsewhere," said Tajima, politely.
Details
10
12 45 "Your forces," I said to Tajima, "seem to have means.
Details
10
12 46 Why do you not hire a tarn cavalry from another city, say, Treve, in the Voltai?" "Such a cavalry," said Tajima, "would be theirs, not ours.
Details
10
12 51 "Yes," said Tajima, "but from the vicinity of Thentis, from the mountains of Thentis.
Details
10
12 55 "Four of my people," said Tajima, "fled back from the tarns, and two found they could not approach them".
Details
10
12 57 "But not acceptable," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 59 "I do not see how honor is involved in this sort of thing," I said, "courage perhaps, but how honor?" "For us, honor is involved," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 64 "We are near the place of training," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 76 How could it be otherwise, for I was disembarked on the northern coast according to the exact coordinates of Priest-Kings, secret coordinates doubtless, was there met by two agents, doubtless also in the service of Priest-Kings, though that apparently unknown to them, was conducted to a reserve of P...
Details
10
12 164 With the new dynasty in the Nest had they not turned against me? Had I not been imprisoned in the holding capsule on the Prison Moon, in such a manner as to torture me, and jeopardize my honor? Might I not, then, of my own will, so treated, have turned from the Sardar to the Steel Worlds? "Our loyal...
Details
10
12 165 I gathered the interview was then concluded, and I turned and left the pavilion, followed by Tajima.
Details
10
12 166 Outside the pavilion I had turned to Tajima.
Details
10
12 169 * * * * Tajima and I emerged from the path which led to a great plaza cleared in the forest.
Details
10
12 207 "True," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 209 "Yes," said Tajima, "but he who just fell, it seems, missed the ring".
Details
10
12 211 "So let him improve his skills," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 214 I saw another fellow, one of the people of Tajima, fall from the plank, and then submit, unprotestingly, to being shouted at and beaten.
Details
10
12 215 "I was not trained like this," I told Tajima.
Details
10
12 216 "It was not necessary," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 225 "No," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 235 "In the vicinity of tarns," said Tajima, "it is best for women to be hooded and bound".
Details
10
12 242 "They are rather like stable sluts?" asked Tajima.
Details
10
12 246 "The men," said Tajima, "are brought food by tharlarion wagon, and, if they wish, they may visit the cook houses in the main camp".
Details
10
12 248 "For slave hunger, of course," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 275 "I think so," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 296 "I wanted you to see the training area, and the tarns," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 313 "I am pleased," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 316 "What of the riders?" asked Tajima.
Details
10
12 318 "True," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 321 "So it will be," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 322 I was then prepared to leave the plaza, but, in turning about, I saw a sight which, to me, if not to Tajima, and his people, seemed exceedingly odd.
Details
10
12 324 "One is preparing to recover his honor," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 325 On a small platform, in a white kimono, one of Tajima's people, which I will now refer to as the Pani, as that is their word for themselves, knelt.
Details
10
12 328 "Do not intrude," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 330 "It is sometimes difficult to perform the act," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 334 "Do not interfere!" cried Tajima, whose suave placidity was for once not at his disposal.
Details
10
12 335 I thrust Tajima back and strode to the figure on the platform, who had now loosened his robe and drawn forth a small dagger from the sheath.
Details
10
12 345 "Allow him dignity!" begged Tajima.
Details
10
12 347 "Who are you to stop it?" asked Tajima, once again in command of his emotions.
Details
10
12 360 "I am commander, I am captain," I told Tajima.
Details
10
12 361 "This man is a coward," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 364 "He fled from a tarn," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 366 "Do not interfere," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 370 "Why not?" asked Tajima, genuinely interested.
Details
10
12 373 "It is our way," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 375 "You, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 377 "You are captain," said Tajima, quietly.
Details
10
12 379 "It is better to lose such men," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 381 "It is wrong for you to interfere in this, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 385 "That is not our way," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 387 "Doubtless," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 389 "Yes," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 392 "Yes," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 398 "I will see that your views on this matter are conveyed to all," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 402 "This pertains only to your command, you understand," said Tajima.
Details
10
12 404 "That is true," smiled Tajima.
Details
10
14 5 Tajima and I bowed to one another, and then sat, side by side, cross-legged, toward the back wall.
Details
10
14 19 "May we speak?" I asked Tajima.
Details
10
14 20 "Not now," said Tajima, softly.
Details
10
14 34 "Now?" I asked Tajima.
Details
10
14 35 "No," said Tajima.
Details
10
14 106 That these men of the Pani, such as Lord Nishida and Tajima, and their fellows, so unusual to continental Gor, or even the western islands, should be here, whether in Brundisium to the south, or here in the northern forests, was to me, at the time, inexplicable.
Details
10
14 124 Outside the dojo I spoke to Tajima.
Details
10
14 132 "Oh?" said Tajima.
Details
10
14 134 "Is it not I who am to spy on you?" asked Tajima.
Details
10
14 141 "You have noted my interest in her," observed Tajima.
Details
10
14 143 "It is hard to control such things," said Tajima.
Details
10
14 148 "She is a contract woman," said Tajima.
Details
10
14 152 "No," said Tajima, "but they are not of the Pani".
Details
10
14 167 "And do you not think she might look pretty as a slave beast?" "Yes," said Tajima, "I would think so".
Details
10
14 171 "That is not his name," said Tajima.
Details
10
14 177 "He is ronen," said Tajima.
Details
10
14 181 "Ah, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima, "how little you know of these things".
Details
10
14 183 "Loyalty," said Tajima, "is required of the warrior.
Details
10
14 193 "Your weapons, your skills, your talents, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima, "are not ours".
Details
10
14 195 "There are more than weapons," said Tajima.
Details
10
14 199 "He is a weakling," said Tajima.
Details
10
14 201 "Not all strength," said Tajima, "is of the body".
Details
10
14 203 "Only if I permitted it," said Tajima.
Details
10
14 208 "The wind," smiled Tajima, "does not enter boxes with lids".
Details
10
14 210 "I could kill him, easily," said Tajima.
Details
10
14 212 "Yes," said Tajima, "now".
Details
10
14 214 "So that his skills might one day equal or exceed mine?" asked Tajima.
Details
10
14 216 "I do not think that would happen," said Tajima.
Details
10
14 229 "Fear is not acceptable," said Tajima.
Details
10
15 390 The arrangements had been made through the thoughtful offices of Tajima.
Details
10
15 393 "One does not sell life and death," he had informed Tajima.
Details
10
16 24 To my left was Tajima.
Details
10
16 235 "Tajima and Pertinax," I said.
Details
10
16 275 Two tarns, returning, those of Tajima and Pertinax, ahead of the swarm, streaked overhead, and then turned, to take their place in the ascending formation.
Details
10
17 71 I saw one of our fellows, I think Tajima, take a mounting tarnsman, climbing to the saddle, with the temwood lance.
Details

18 1 Fighting Continues; We Report to Lord Nishida; The Stable I brought the tarn down, to the field of training, followed by Tajima and Pertinax, and Ichiro, my first, or lead, signalman.
Details
10
18 19 "They will," said Tajima.
Details
10
18 47 I called to my side Tajima and Pertinax, and some dozen or so mercenaries, who well knew the sword.
Details
10
18 49 "I think so," said Tajima.
Details
10
18 56 "You, too, buckler and blade," I said to Tajima and Pertinax.
Details
10
18 58 "Nodachi," said Tajima, "could deflect a quarrel with the blade of even a companion sword".
Details
10
18 60 "No," said Tajima.
Details
10
18 65 "We will report to Lord Nishida," I said to Tajima.
Details
10
18 68 "Please, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima, politely, "may I have him?" "Yes," I said.
Details
10
18 71 "Do not do swords with Tajima," I said to Pertinax.
Details
10
18 81 I then, with some dozen or so men, mercenaries, together with Tajima and Pertinax, addressed myself to the path which led to the housing area.
Details
10
18 83 "It seems we will not need our blades," said Tajima.
Details
10
18 90 "I would see if Sumomo is alive," said Tajima.
Details
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.
Details
10
18 238 I caught sight of Tajima, now, again, in the clearing.
Details
10
18 242 I understood this to be an insult of some sort, and I noted that Tajima's body, briefly, stiffened with rage.
Details
10
18 244 "I fear the contract woman," I said, "did not treat Tajima well".
Details
10
18 252 "Why should she treat Tajima badly?" I asked.
Details
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...
Details
10
18 285 "Tajima," I said, "is now of Gor".
Details
10
18 301 "Tajima is now approaching," said Pertinax.
Details
10
18 303 Sumomo, I noted, perhaps alerted by Hana, had turned about, to watch Tajima withdraw.
Details
10
18 305 Tajima did not look back at her.
Details
10
18 317 I supposed it would take some time for Tajima to nurse his wounds.
Details
10
18 320 Tajima had now joined us.
Details
10
18 321 "You saw?" asked Tajima.
Details
10
18 323 "She is Pani," said Tajima.
Details
10
18 328 But Tajima was silent.
Details
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.
Details
10
18 331 I did not speak these things, of course, to Tajima.
Details
10
18 337 "No," said Tajima, now at my side, as I moved to approach the hut.
Details
10
18 341 "That is Lord Nishida," said Tajima, indicating the figure in the fearsome mask with the bloodied sword.
Details
10
18 343 "It is," said Tajima.
Details
10
18 345 "Lord Nishida is a great warrior," said Tajima.
Details
10
18 347 "Certainly," said Tajima.
Details
10
18 350 "We do not require prisoners," said Tajima.
Details
10
18 370 "Subside, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima.
Details
10
18 515 "How then will the feast be served?" inquired Tajima.
Details
10
18 530 I supposed Tajima had been interested in whether or not Sumomo might serve at such a feast.
Details
10
18 535 "It seems urts have been discovered in the stable," said Tajima.
Details
10
18 544 Tajima and I then, following Pertinax, hurried toward the stable.
Details
10
19 38 Tajima looked at me.
Details
10
19 88 "Master," said Tajima, bowing deeply, which greeting was politely returned.
Details
10
19 117 "Master," said Tajima, bowing.
Details
10
19 223 "Men have returned from the tarn cots," said Tajima.
Details
10
19 226 Tajima nodded, and disappeared into the gloom, darkness now about.
Details
10
19 235 Tajima joined Pertinax and myself.
Details
10
19 237 "I am Pani," said Tajima, in English, "but not every custom of my people appeals to me".
Details
10
19 242 "That does not appeal to me either," said Tajima, again in English.
Details
10
19 249 "Doubtless," said Tajima.
Details
10
19 252 "Vanity is pleasant," said Tajima, "but it is dangerous, as well.
Details
10
19 255 "Tajima," he smiled.
Details
10
19 258 "Victory is the fruit of victory," said Tajima.
Details
10
19 259 "Tajima?" I asked.
Details
10
19 263 "Not Nodachi," said Tajima.
Details
10
19 265 "No," said Tajima, "he is not as other men".
Details
10
19 267 "Perhaps," said Tajima.
Details
10
19 269 "The recovery of honor," said Tajima.
Details
10
19 278 "There is no quarter," said Tajima.
Details
10
19 291 I then turned to Tajima.
Details
10
19 292 "Tajima," I said, "set watches, and see that most of the men at any given time are at rest.
Details
10
19 295 "Yes, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima.
Details
10
20 20 "I, too," said Tajima.
Details
10
20 23 "This is not the work for a commander," said Tajima.
Details
10
20 25 "The cavalry," said Tajima.
Details
10
20 28 "You forged the weapon," said Tajima.
Details
10
20 30 "Why will you enter the stable?" asked Tajima.
Details
10
20 35 "One who wears our gray?" said Tajima.
Details
10
20 37 "The mercenary, Licinius Lysias of Turmus," said Tajima.
Details
10
20 50 "I do not urge this," said Tajima, "but would it not be wise to enter the stable in force?" "It would be better to first reconnoiter," I said.
Details
10
20 51 "Surely you are not concerned with a slave?" said Tajima, puzzled.
Details
10
20 54 Tajima nodded.
Details
10
20 58 "Ah!" said Tajima.
Details
10
20 74 "Bucklers," I cautioned Tajima and Pertinax.
Details
10
20 122 "What does it matter," said Tajima.
Details
10
20 125 "He is a weakling, and fool," said Tajima, angrily.
Details
10
20 127 "I would have evinced no sign of concern," said Tajima, "and thus she would have been safer than otherwise".
Details
10
20 129 "Perhaps one day," said Tajima.
Details
10
20 155 "Shall we now enter in force?" asked Tajima.
Details
10
20 163 "A clever ruse," smiled Tajima, "worthy of Lord Nishida himself".
Details
10
20 169 "Do not move," I said to Tajima and Pertinax.
Details
10
20 176 There was then the clash of blades, briefly, fiercely, and I entered the stable, rushing within, followed closely by Tajima and Pertinax.
Details
10
20 179 I, and Pertinax and Tajima, halted our advance, abruptly.
Details
10
20 212 Tajima then did so, as well.
Details
10
20 244 "You cannot, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima.
Details
10
20 246 I then turned about, and left the stable, followed by Pertinax and Tajima.
Details
10
21 12 "Lord Nishida will not be pleased," said Tajima, gloomily.
Details
10
21 19 "I do not understand," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 10 "The bota at the saddle," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 12 "And Tassa powder," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 56 "And the slave was quite safe," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 58 "She, too, was unconscious," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 61 Why should he not? Would she not be thirsty, as well? Are animals not watered?" "Yes," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 64 "True," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 70 "Did you not note," asked Tajima, "how she denied being cold, and addressed Licinius Lysias as 'Master'?" "She was frightened," said Pertinax.
Details
10
22 80 "Would you prefer," inquired Tajima, "that the slave was frigid?" "Surely such things are a matter of private concern," said Pertinax.
Details
10
22 84 "You would wish her to be frigid?" asked Tajima, politely.
Details
10
22 94 "The slave is not a free woman," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 114 "Perhaps," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 123 "Lord Nishida will have him crucified," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 125 "I fear that is not practical," said Tajima, "for you are a spy, and traitor".
Details
10
22 127 "You wear the cavalry's gray, and betrayed it," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 132 "You may be tortured before you are crucified," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 148 "One is tied on the cross, closely," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 154 "Impalement would be a Gorean way," I said to Tajima.
Details
10
22 155 "That is barbarous," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 157 "Too, it would be too quick," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 159 "Interesting," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 162 "I have sent for Ashigaru," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 186 "Nadu!" said Tajima, sharply.
Details
10
22 190 "Split your knees," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 192 "Now!" said Tajima.
Details
10
22 194 "Wider!" said Tajima.
Details
10
22 196 The former Miss Wentworth complied, quickly, docilely, with Tajima's command.
Details
10
22 199 "Stay as you are," cautioned Tajima.
Details
10
22 205 "You are the prisoner of Lord Nishida," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 207 "Captain?" asked Tajima.
Details
10
22 209 "Ashigaru will soon be here," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 212 "Yes," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 251 I would not, comfortably, have set Tajima against him, who was skilled, as I had determined in the dojo.
Details
10
22 256 Tajima looked at me, puzzled.
Details
10
22 284 "Surely you were not serious, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 287 "Surely not!" exclaimed Tajima.
Details
10
22 288 "If so," said Licinius, "I beg the sword, its quickness, its mercy!" "No," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 291 "Never!" said Tajima.
Details
10
22 296 "Wait for the Ashigaru," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 298 "Tajima's hand was on the hilt of his gently curved sword.
Details
10
22 300 "No," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 306 "I must report this to Lord Nishida," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 308 "Make it last," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 312 "He is your prisoner," granted Tajima.
Details
10
22 339 In a few moments I had returned to Tajima, Pertinax, and the slave.
Details
10
22 340 "Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima, "your knife is not bloody".
Details
10
22 342 "Perhaps you broke his back or neck, or strangled him," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 346 "Lord Nishida will not be pleased," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 348 "Very well, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 376 "Tarl Cabot, tarnsman, is heated, and aroused," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 421 "Ashigaru," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 465 "She is a slave," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 550 "Can you not accept her femininity," asked Tajima, "her needs, her womanhood, her helplessness, her defenselessness, her desire to submit?" "Do not impose your values upon her," I said.
Details
10
22 555 "Let him alone," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 586 "I think you want her, my dear Pertinax," said Tajima, "and as what she is, and should be, a slave".
Details
10
22 587 "Is that not what you have always wanted," I asked, "from the first moment you laid eyes on her, her as a slave?" "I think your desire was so fierce," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 590 "Yes," said Tajima, "and she was selected with care, in compliance with a very special order, one requisitioning a particular sort of slave, one worthy of a being a suitable gift for a shogun".
Details
10
22 610 "The Ashigaru are here," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 612 "It is dark," said Tajima to the officer with the men.
Details
10
22 641 "You will be," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 650 I then bid goodnight to Tajima and returned toward the central camp, and the hut I shared with Pertinax.
Details
10
24 195 "I do not know why I was brought to the forests," I said, "or who saw to my bringing, but I have formed your cavalry, for whatever purpose it might serve, and others, Torgus, Lysander, Tajima, Ichiro, might now command it.
Details
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.
Details
10
25 275 I expected to find Tajima in the barrack assigned to the guards, whose dispatch and returns he would log, but instead I encountered him crossing the training area, toward the track which led to the main camp area.
Details
10
25 290 "Four Ehn past," said Tajima.
Details
10
25 292 "It is waiting," said Tajima.
Details
10
25 297 "How can that be?" asked Tajima.
Details
10
25 299 "The tarn is waiting," said Tajima.
Details
10
26 15 Might this be some new thread in the obscure tapestry which Lord Nishida, or others, were weaving? A ten would soon be aflight, to search for the overdue guard, whose failure to return when expected had concerned Tajima.
Details
10
26 313 "Tarl Cabot, tarnsman!" cried Tajima.
Details
10
26 317 "Return to camp!" "The guard has not returned!" said Tajima.
Details
10
26 319 "To camp!" "What has occurred, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman?" called Tajima.
Details
10
27 10 The tarns, from the plaza of training, had been early aflight, their squadrons led by Tajima.
Details
10
27 18 I did not doubt that Tajima had reported to Lord Nishida my flight of the preceding late evening, and my seeming encounter with an unidentified tarnsman, an encounter I had refused to explain to him.
Details
10
27 19 I did not begrudge the conveyance of this sort of intelligence to Lord Nishida, nor did I resent Tajima being the modality of its conveyance.
Details
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.
Details
10
29 29 "Tarl Cabot, tarnsman!" called Tajima, hurrying beside the wagons, toward us.
Details
10
29 38 "Tal," said Tajima, pleasantly.
Details
10
29 39 There is an order to such things, and Tajima, correctly or incorrectly, regarded himself as senior to Pertinax, who was a mere barbarian.
Details
10
29 45 Both he and Tajima bowed as Nodachi passed, going forward.
Details
10
29 48 "He was not with the march, but behind it," said Tajima.
Details
10
29 51 "You are all very filthy," said Tajima.
Details
10
29 59 "How is Sumomo?" asked Tajima.
Details
10
29 61 "Excellent," said Tajima.
Details
10
29 68 "No," said Tajima.
Details
10
29 88 "Yes," said Tajima.
Details
10
29 93 "Quarters have been prepared for you, near the shore, near the cots," said Tajima.
Details
10
29 99 "Beyond that," said Tajima, "though you cannot see them, are several galleys".
Details
10
29 101 "You do not know?" inquired Tajima.
Details
10
29 103 "That," said Tajima, "is the ship of Tersites".
Details
10
31 15 "Pertinax, even Tajima, and Ichiro, and others, have objected," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
32 7 Pertinax, Tajima, Ichiro, and some others stood with me.
Details
10
32 68 I became aware then, suddenly, that Tajima, Pertinax, Ichiro, and others, stood with me.

Details
10
38 6 "It is cold," said Tajima.
Details
10
38 79 Tajima, who was standing beside me, suddenly stepped back, and bowed.
Details
10
38 83 "Four days," said Tajima.
Details
10
38 86 "I understand," said Tajima.
Details
10
38 106 "I would you were with the cavalry," said Tajima.
Details
10
38 110 Tajima was to command the cavalry in my absence.
Details
10
38 114 "I must return to the cavalry," said Tajima.
Details
10
39 1 A Report is Received; Enemies are Discussed Tajima brought the tarn down, expertly, to the stem castle of the ship, and leapt from the saddle.
Details
10
39 3 Tajima, sent to reconnoiter, had been awaited by Lord Nishida.
Details
10
39 6 "They are waiting for us," said Tajima.
Details
10
39 8 "The skies are clear," said Tajima.
Details
10
39 31 "I think," said Tajima, "they do not realize our nature.
Details
10
39 35 "Do you feel, Tajima," said Lord Nishida, "that the cavalry may deal with such weaponry?" "Yes," he said.
Details
10
39 37 "They are like the sands of the shore," said Tajima.
Details
10
39 43 "Dozens," said Tajima.
Details
10
42 33 "Are you all right?" inquired Tajima.
Details
10
42 47 "Into the water, down!" "Comply!" cried Tajima to the nearest oarsmen.
Details
10
42 55 "Comply," said Tajima, and he himself, followed by Pertinax, entered the water beside the hull, to roll the body of the sleen closer to the hull.
Details
10
42 59 I was aided aboard, again, and Tajima and Pertinax, in the freezing water, encircled the body of the sleen with ropes, and it was lifted aboard.
Details
10
42 63 Tajima and Pertinax were then assisted in boarding.
Details
10
42 70 Tajima, Pertinax, and I, shuddering and miserable, then availed ourselves of blankets.
Details
10
42 75 "This is a sleen," said Tajima, looking down.

10
9 423 "He and others fought with us!" exclaimed Tajima.
