Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
9	18	What would happen to Talena if we did, by some outstanding stroke of fortune, reach Ko-ro-ba? Would she be publicly impaled, returned to the mercies of the Initiates of Ar, or would she perhaps spend the rest of her days in the dungeons beneath the cylinders? Perhaps she would be permitted to live a...	10
10	99	As Talena struggled and kicked and the girls in the wagon shouted their approval and encouragement to the attendant, he angrily hurled Talena into my arms.	10
5	58	I knew nothing about her, except that her name was Talena, that she was rumored to be one of the beauties of Ar, and that I was supposed to kill her.	10
7	224	"You are Talena," he said, tapping the dagger, "daughter of Marlenus?" "You see I wear the robes of the Ubar's daughter," said the girl, scarcely deigning to respond to the officer's question.	10
7	230	"Are you Talena?" asked the officer, once again, patiently.	10
7	232	"I am Talena, daughter of Marlenus, Ubar of all Gor".	10
8	28	Talena seemed startled that I had asked for her freedom.	10
8	44	"Take me back to Ar," said Talena.	10
8	49	The officer sheathed his sword, not taking his eyes from Talena, who drew back.	10
8	56	"I never thought that I would have my chain on Talena, the daughter of Marlenus," he said.	10
8	62	The officer turned from Talena, scrambling to his feet and growling with rage, unsheathing his blade.	10
8	66	His hand drew Talena's dagger from his belt, and, manacled as I was, I could not have prevented the blow.	10
8	68	Talena had picked up his sword and struck off the hand that held the dagger.	10
8	71	Talena, naked, still held the bloody sword, her eyes glassy with the horror of what she had done.	10
8	82	"Let me," said Talena, and took the key and opened the lock.	10
8	84	"I ask your favor," said Talena, standing meekly by my side, her hands confined in front of her by the colorful slave bracelets, the leading chain still dangling from her throat.	10
8	97	I tossed to one side the leading chains, manacles, and slave bracelets that Talena and I had worn.	10
8	100	When I returned to the glade, Talena was sitting in the grass, near the garments that had been ripped from her.	10
8	112	On the other hand, I think that Talena was actually pleased to be rid of the encumbering, ornate robes of the daughter of the Ubar.	10
8	117	It seemed so unlike Talena to express any consideration.	10
8	120	Talena returned and sat beside me on the grass.	10
8	141	"Talena is my true name," she said.	10
8	152	"Ko-ro-ba is one of the few cities my father feared," said Talena, "because he realized it might someday be effective in organizing other cities against him.	10
8	163	"What are you doing?" asked Talena.	10
8	199	"What is the submission of Talena, the daughter of the Ubar, worth?" I taunted.	10
8	203	To Talena's indignation, I snapped the slave bracelets on her wrists, hooded her, and put her on a leading chain.	10
9	2	Soon after we had left the glade, to Talena's amusement, I had removed her hood and, a few minutes later, her leading chain and slave bracelets.	10
9	5	Talena seemed to be animated, as if excited beyond comprehension at her escape from the seclusion of the Walled Gardens and the role of the Ubar's daughter.	10
9	26	Both Talena and I agreed that there was little danger of being recognized for what we really were.	10
9	29	I allowed Talena to bathe first, which seemed to surprise her.	10
9	52	Once, however, Talena dragged me to the side of the road, and, scarcely able to conceal our horror, we watched while a sufferer from the incurable Dar-Kosis disease, bent in his yellow shrouds, hobbled by, periodically clacking that wooden device which warns all within hearing to stand clear from hi...	10
9	53	"An Afflicted One," said Talena, gravely, using the expression common for such plagued wretches on Gor.	10
9	62	Late in the day we glimpsed a solitary tarnsman high above the road, a lonely image that depressed both myself and Talena.	10
9	85	We had not been on the road long when Talena clutched my arm.	10
9	105	The warrior gestured at Talena with his lance.	10
9	111	I could see Talena move under the hood, her fists clenched in the slave bracelets.	10
9	117	Talena spoke, her voice muffled in the hood.	10
9	121	I excused Talena.	10
9	126	"What news of Marlenus, the Ubar?" demanded Talena.	10
9	137	I have heard she has the temper of a tharlarion and a face to match!" Talena stiffened, her pride offended.	10
9	148	We shoved Talena, who was now frightened, to the side of the road.	10
9	158	I turned and went to Talena, who was standing piteously by the side of the road, waiting to see who it was that would unhood her.	10
9	165	"It was worth it," he said, his gaze sweeping over Talena.	10
9	167	Talena seized her dagger from my belt and raced to the warrior.	10
9	170	"You must kill him," said Talena, struggling.	10
9	173	I tore some inches from the bottom of Talena's gown to make a bandage for Kazrak's shoulder.	10
10	14	"Who are you?" asked Mintar, leaning forward a bit, inspecting first me and then Talena, whom he regarded with small interest.	10
10	33	He looked at Talena carefully, but his appraisal was remote, detached.	10
10	35	Talena reacted as if slapped.	10
10	64	"I am," announced Talena proudly, "the daughter of a rich merchant, the richest on Gor, stolen from her father by this tarnsman.	10
10	67	Talena gulped.	10
10	75	For a moment I was afraid Talena was going to announce that she was the daughter of the Ubar Marlenus, preferring possible impalement to the insult of being considered the offspring of a goat keeper.	10
10	79	"No," said Talena.	10
10	81	"If you like," said Mintar, paying no attention to Talena, "I will arrange her sale in the City of Tents and add her price to your wages".	10
10	88	Led by Kazrak, I went with Talena, walking back along the line of wagons to see where she would be placed.	10
10	90	"I have a spare ankle ring," he said, and took Talena by the arm, thrusting her inside the wagon.	10
10	92	Talena would not like that.	10
10	95	We had gone scarcely ten paces and Talena could hardly have been fastened in the wagon before we heard a female scream of pain and a bevy of howls and shrieks.	10
10	98	As Kazrak and I watched, the attendant, puffing and furious, emerged from the wagon, dragging Talena by the hair.	10
10	105	Talena lifted a bloody nose to me and smiled brightly.	10
10	106	* * * * The next few days were among the happiest of my life, as Talena and I became a part of Mintar's slow, ample caravan, members of its graceful, interminable, colorful procession.	10
10	133	We, with Talena, shared a tent, and, to Kazrak's amusement, I set aside a portion of the tent for the girl's private use, protecting it with a silk hanging.	10
10	134	Because of the miserable condition of Talena's single garment, Kazrak and I procured from the supply master some changes of slave livery for the girl.	10
10	137	We returned to the tent, handing the new livery to Talena, who, in fury, regarded the brief, diagonally striped garments.	10
10	145	A moment or two after, Talena stepped forth for our inspection, brazen and insolent.	10
10	150	Talena was a most beautiful girl.	10
10	152	Talena blanched, but, as Kazrak chuckled, she knelt before me, her fists clenched.	10
10	154	Talena looked at the engraved collar and shook with rage.	10
10	160	"No," begged Talena, now, for the first time, frightened.	10
10	165	Talena sprang to her feet, her two fists flying for my face.	10
10	199	In the next few days, to my surprise, Talena was buoyant, cheerful, and excited.	10
10	210	Talena blushed and lowered her face, rubbing vigorously on the leather of my tharlarion boots.	10
11	5	Talena ran to the foot of my tharlarion, and with my lance I hoisted her to the saddle so that she could see.	10
11	10	Talena leaned back against my shoulder.	10
11	25	My plan, as I explained to Talena, was simple.	10
11	28	Talena seemed depressed, in odd contrast to her liveliness of the caravan days.	10
11	38	Talena stood up.	10
11	42	That night I took Talena into the City of Tents, and by the light of torches set on lances we walked arm in arm through the crowded streets, among the colorful tents and market stalls.	10
11	44	Talena clung to my arm, fascinated.	10
11	46	"I want to see the market," Talena said eagerly, and I knew the market she meant.	10
11	48	Reluctantly I took Talena to the great tent of blue and yellow silk, and we pressed in among the hot, smelling bodies of the buyers, forcing our way toward the front.	10
11	49	There Talena watched, thrilled, as girls, several of whom she had known in the caravan, were placed on the large, rounded wooden block and sold, one by one, to the highest bidder.	10
11	50	"She's beautiful," Talena would say of one as the auctioneer would tug the single loop on the right shoulder of the slave livery, dropping it to the girl's ankles.	10
11	51	Of another, Talena would sniff scornfully.	10
11	56	I noted that Talena, like others in the room, did not seem in the least to feel that there was anything objectionable or untoward in this commerce in beauty.	10
11	63	I took Talena by the elbow and, though she protested, moved her gently through the crowd and out into the air.	10
11	71	Talena retired behind the silk partition, and I built up the fire in the center of the tent, not wishing to retire as yet.	10
11	76	As I mused, Talena stepped forth from behind the silk curtain.	10
11	84	There was a sudden bright clash of the finger cymbals, and, to the music of the nearby tent, Talena, daughter of the Ubar of Ar, began to dance for me.	10
11	93	I would not have Talena dance those cruel dances of Gor, which so humbled a woman.	10
11	95	"I should like that," I said, and, as I watched, Talena performed Ar's strangely beautiful dance of passion.	10
11	103	"No, Talena," I said, kissing her mouth.	10
11	119	I heard Talena scream.	10
12	40	"What have you done with the girl?" "She is Talena, daughter of the Ubar Marlenus," said Pa-Kur.	10
12	47	I should have known that the proud Talena, daughter of a Ubar, would leap at the first chance to return to power in Ar, even though it be at the head of a plundering host of brigands.	10
12	49	Indeed, the Frame of Humiliation would be ample vengeance to satisfy even Talena for the indignities she had suffered at my hands.	10
12	69	The image of the treacherous, beautiful Talena, in her dancing silks, as she had lain in my arms, tormented me—she who would gladly give her kisses to the cold Pa-Kur for a place on the throne of Ar, she whose implacable hatred had sent me to this terrible death, not even permitting me the ho...	10
12	159	Mine had been lost when Talena had thrown me from the back of the tarn shortly after we had fled the walls of Ar.	10
14	9	He was a gigantic man, larger even than the Older Tarl, and in his eyes, wild and green, I saw the masterful flame which had, in its way, also burned in the eyes of Talena, his daughter.	10
14	68	"Your daughter, Talena, is alive," I said to Marlenus.	10
15	43	I had no realistic or clearheaded plan, but was determined somehow to find Talena and escape, or die in the attempt.	10
15	211	"Perhaps," suggested Mintar, "the young tarnsman might attend to the matter of Talena, daughter of Marlenus".	10
16	1	The Girl in the Cage Kazrak and I returned to his tent, and until the early morning we discussed the possibilities of rescuing Talena.	10
16	63	One thing at least remained to be done: there must be an attempt to rescue Talena.	10
16	105	"A message from Pa-Kur," I said, "for the ears of Talena, his Ubara-to-be".	10
16	113	I entered the compound, not having a settled plan, but feeling that I must contact Talena.	10
16	143	This must be Talena whom I loved, to whom my life belonged.	10
16	146	It was much like Talena, but not as she had been.	10
16	158	The girl in the cage was not Talena.	10
17	3	In the next days, frequenting the paga tents and markets, I sought, by cornering slaves and challenging swordsmen, to learn the whereabouts of Talena.	10
17	5	I had no doubt that these minions of Pa-Kur whom I either cajoled or terrorized surely believed that the girl in the cage was Talena.	10
17	11	I considered attempting the destruction of Pa-Kur, but this would not only be unlikely of success but would bring me no nearer my goal of rescuing Talena.	10
17	72	It was Talena.	10
17	77	The free end of Pa-Kur's saddle chain was then secured to Talena's shackles.	10
17	78	The procession resumed to the beat of the tarn drums and Talena, bound in chains of gold, walked, slowly, with dignity, beside the tharlarion of her captor, Pa-Kur, the Assassin.	10
17	81	"The impalement of Talena, daughter of Marlenus, false Ubar of Ar".	10
18	4	His feelings toward Talena I could not conjecture.	10
18	64	I had managed to bring down the tarn wire of Ar; I had learned that Marlenus still lived and held a portion of the Central Cylinder, and I had found out when and where the execution of Talena was supposed to take place.	10
19	11	He swore violently when I told him of the proposed fate of Talena, yet refused to accompany me when I announced that I would attack the Cylinder of Justice.	10
19	38	When it was raised again, it would bear the body of Talena.	10
19	45	Lying on the ground, bound hand and foot, still clad in the white robe, was Talena.	10
19	49	Now, helpless, Talena lay almost within the wing span of my tarn, so near to me and yet a world away.	10
19	60	The cry of amazement and joy that broke from Talena's lips told me all I wanted to know.	10
19	107	Then, before anyone could stop him, he seized a sword from the scabbard of an Assassin and rushed to Talena, holding it over his head with both hands.	10
19	127	We met almost over the body of Talena, the tips of our blades touching alertly, once, twice, each sounding the other out.	10
19	166	During this time Talena, though bound hand and foot, had struggled to her knees, and she watched us fight, her hair and the folds of her robe blown by the wind that whipped across the roof of the cylinder.	10
19	214	I sheathed my sword and went to Talena.	10
19	221	Talena and I broke apart.	10
19	238	Talena looked into my eyes.	10
19	243	"I accept you, Tarl of Ko-ro-ba," said Talena with love in her eyes.	10
20	12	Perhaps the Priest-Kings, whoever or whatever they might be, reasoned that such a man was dangerous, that such a man might in time raise his own banner of dominion; perhaps they realized that I, of all on Gor, did not revere them, would not turn and bow my head in the direction of the Sardar Mountai...	10
20	30	When I returned to Ko-ro-ba with Talena, a great feast was held and we celebrated our Free Companionship.	10
20	39	And then, in his joy, he turned to Talena and in gracious salute lifted the symbolic cup of Ka-la-na wine to her beauty.	10
20	40	Talena and I swore to honor that day as long as either of us lived.	10
20	55	The ring was real, and I was awake, and there was a Counter-Earth, and the girl, Talena.	10

5	11	I longed for my city, and for my father, the magnificent Matthew Cabot, once Ubar, now Administrator of Ko-ro-ba, and for my friends, the proud Older Tarl, my master-at-arms, and Torm, the cheerful, grumbling little scribe who regarded even sleep and food as part of a conspiracy to separate him from...	10
2	14	So standing, the sun upon me, without thinking I raised my arms as in pagan prayer to acknowledge the power of the Priest-Kings, which had once again brought me from Earth to this world, the power which once before had torn me from Gor when they were finished with me, taking me from my adopted city,...	10
2	64	It had crossed with that of Pa-Kur, master assassin, on the roof of Ar's Cylinder of Justice, when I had fought for my love, Talena.	10
5	12	"I love you, Talena!" I cried.	10
5	63	"What of Talena?" I cried.	10
5	71	Was it on my account that a city had perished? Was it I who had brought disaster to its people, to my father, to my friends and Talena? Had I been too foolish to understand that I was nothing before the power of the Priest-Kings? Was I now to wander the forlorn roads and fields of Gor in guilt and a...	10
9	148	Soon, pounding the time on the table with the butt of my spear, I was leading a raucous round of songs, mostly wild drinking songs, warrior songs, songs of the encampment and march, but too I taught them songs I had learned in the caravan of Mintar the Merchant, so long ago, when I had first loved T...	10
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
15	6	When I had borne Talena home from Ar to Ko-ro-ba, I had tried to teach her the reins of the tarn-harness and help her, at least with me at hand, to learn to master the brute.	10
15	9	The bird, of course, could not have been conditioned in so short a time, nor for that matter had it even been my intention to condition the bird—for I had spoken only for the benefit of Talena.	10
17	67	I had failed my city, my beloved Talena, my father, my friends.	10
20	78	The mountains of the Sardar were not such a vast, magnificent range as the rugged scarlet crags of the Voltai, that almost impenetrable mountain vastness in which I had once been the prisoner of the outlaw Ubar, Marlenus of Ar, ambitious and warlike father of the fierce and beautiful Talena, she who...	10
22	74	"My love is Talena," I said, "daughter of Marlenus who was once Ubar of Ar".	10
26	106	I have wondered about the Priest-Kings and their power, their ships and agents, their plans for their world and mine; but most importantly I must learn why my city was destroyed and its people scattered, why it is that no stone may stand upon another stone; and I must learn the fate of my friends, m...	10
26	115	It now seems to me that if I had simply returned to Gor, and to my city, my father, my friends and my beloved Talena, I might not have cared to enter the Sardar, that I would not have cared to relinquish the joys of life to inquire into the secrets of those dark mountains.	10

1	105	I have been unable to learn the fate of my father, my friends, my warrior companions, and my beloved Talena, she who was the daughter of Marlenus, who had once been Ubar of Ar—my sweet, fierce, wild, gentle, savage, beautiful love, she who is my Free Companion, my Talena, forever the Ubara of...	10
4	54	"What of the girl Talena, who was my Free Companion?" "I hope you had a good trip," said Parp.	10
9	34	In the house of Priest-Kings there could be no love, nor could she know her own mind in these matters, and there was always Talena, whose image would never be eradicated from my heart.	10
9	141	"A slender, dark-haired girl," I said, "whose name was Talena".	10
16	23	"And Talena?" "As far as I know she is still alive," said Misk, "but we cannot scan for her, or for others of Ko-ro-ba, without raising the suspicion that we are solicitous for you—or are bargaining with you".	10
28	104	The women I had owned, Sana, Talena, Lara, and others of whom I have not written, Passion Slaves rented for the hour in the Paga Taverns of Ko-ro-ba and Ar, Pleasure Slaves bestowed on me in token of hospitality for a night spent in a friend's compartments, had known that I was master and that had b...	10
34	11	"Where is Talena!" I begged my father.	10
34	34	"Do you suppose Talena is here?" I asked.	10
34	68	I took the small stone in my hands and kissed it, for it was the Home Stone of the city to which I had pledged my sword, where I had ridden my first tarn, where I had met my father after an interval of more than twenty years, where I had found new friends, and to which I had taken Talena, my love, t...	10
34	83	She knew that I must search out Talena, spend my life if need be in the quest for she whom of all women I had chosen for my Free Companion.	10
34	113	"If I loved you only a little less," she said, "I would find Talena of Ar myself and thrust a dagger into her heart".	10
34	131	"Until you find Talena," he said, "your companion is peril and steel".	10
34	149	Perhaps Talena will find her way back".	10
34	153	The probability of so beautiful a woman as Talena finding her way through the cities of Gor, over the lonely roads, among the open fields to at last return to Ko-ro-ba was not high.	10
34	202	Systematically and persistently I questioned these men of various cities about the whereabouts of Talena of Ar, hoping to find some clue that might lead me to her, even if it might be only the drunken memory of some herdsman of a vision of beauty once encountered in a dim and crowded tavern in Cos o...	10

5	503	My return to the city was affecting, for here it was that my sword had been pledged to a Gorean Home Stone; here it was that I had trained in arms and learned Gorean; it was here that I had met my father, after long years of separation; it was here that I had made dear friends, the Older Tarl, Maste...	10

15	495	"You may now dance, Talena," said Rask of Treve.	10
15	500	"Who is she?" "Talena," said Rask, smiling, "the daughter of Marlenus of Ar".	10
15	546	"Why do you not give Talena to me?" asked Verna, of Rask of Treve.	10
15	1162	On the sand, before the warriors, belled, in scarlet silk, the girl, Talena, danced.	10
15	1176	Talena was driven from the sand and another girl, belled, stood forth to please the men.	10
16	53	"Tonight," had said Rask of Treve, casually, "send the girl, Talena, to my tent".	10
16	64	I hated Talena! I wanted to throw myself upon her and scratch out her eyes, and tear her hair and bite and kick her until she screamed and screamed, and fled away! The daughter of a Ubar! She was only a slave! I was as good as she! I hated her! I hated her! I hated her! "Your slave seems disturbed,"...	10
16	91	What did I care that the girl, Talena, was tonight sent to the tent of Rask of Treve? I hated him! I hated her, even more than him! I wished the guard had not taken my clothes.	10
16	192	"I am taking Talena with me," said Verna.	10
16	199	I knew, of course, that Talena was a slave in this camp, and had been slave to Rask of Treve.	10
16	202	Talena was the daughter of a Ubar! "Note how I have garbed her," she said.	10
16	204	The beautiful Talena no longer wore her marvelous silks, her golden ornaments.	10
16	208	Doubtless, to be so garbed would have constituted a considerable blow to the exquisite vanity of the high-born, high-caste Talena, even the daughter of a Ubar.	10
16	259	I did not think the lovely Talena would soon again wish to tempt in the slightest the patience of her new mistress.	10
18	19	And I have now learned, from the narrative of the girl, Elinor, that Talena, once my companion, may well be in the northern forests.	10

9	341	And who knew, in time, there might have been but one throne of one Ubar of this unprecedented empire? Who knew to what heights might have been raised the chair of Bosk? We would have made a splendid and powerful couple, the envy of Gor, Bosk, the great Bosk, and Talena, the beautiful Talena, daughte...	10
11	662	Talena, once the marvelous and beautiful Talena, was now nothing.	10
1	62	"Talena, daughter of Marlenus of Ar, I learn, has been taken as slave to the northern forests," I said.	10
1	93	"It is long since you have been the Free Companion of Talena, daughter of Marlenus," said Samos.	10
1	102	"You have no obligation," said Samos, "to seek the girl Talena".	10
1	105	I had never forgotten her, the beautiful, olive-skinned, green-eyed Talena, so stunningly figured, such fantastic lips, the proud blood of Marlenus of Ar, Ubar of Ar, Ubar of Ubars, in her veins.	10
1	117	"Talena is held slave in the northern forests," I told him.	10
1	123	How could I not love Talena, the deep, and first love, the first beautiful love of my life? "Do you love her?" asked Samos.	10
1	166	Would she refuse the gold, the gems, the silks and silvers, and spilling coins, the choice wines, the servants and slaves, the security of the house of Bosk for the lonely freedoms and silences of the salt marshes of the Vosk's vast delta? Did she expect me to hasten after her, piteously begging her...	10
3	22	I sought Talena, who had once been my free companion, now said to be slave of the outlaw girl, Verna.	10
3	25	I must seek Talena! Thurnock, at my command, had this morning sold the two panther girls, Tana and Ela, at the slave market.	10
3	27	I did not think it would be easy to find Talena, but I was confident that I could do so.	10
3	137	I was sure that I would regain Talena, and Tana and Ela had gone for a good price.	10
3	147	Talena would soon again be mine.	10
3	393	He might be of use, should matters turn out that way, in my pursuit of Talena.	10
4	224	"I now seek Talena," I said.	10
4	227	"I seek Talena," I told her.	10
4	301	"I am going to seek Talena," I said.	10
4	359	"I seek Talena," I told her.	10
6	151	"Verna has taken Talena to the forests, to bait a trap for Marlenus.	10
6	161	"But," said I, "the important thing to Verna's plan is that Marlenus believe that she holds Talena.	10
6	167	A Merchant of Tabor, accordingly, fearing Tyros, would not be likely to return Talena to Marlenus.	10
6	181	"Then," I said, "we shall have no choice but to take Talena by force".	10
6	289	I sought Talena.	10
6	291	Talena was not a simple paga slave, as was Tana.	10
6	292	Talena was not a simple rence girl, indigenous to the marshes, as was Telima.	10
6	293	Talena was the daughter of a Ubar! It was not simply that Tana was beneath me, a rich man, Bosk, admiral in Port Kar.	10
6	299	But Talena, she was the daughter of a Ubar.	10
6	306	At my side Talena would be the most beautiful, the richest and the most powerful woman on Gor.	10
6	310	And who knew to what heights I might raise the chair of Bosk? Indeed, with Talena at my side, the daughter of the great Ubar of Ar, my fortunes, in many matters, might be much improved.	10
6	514	"You speak of Talena," smiled Mira, "the daughter of Marlenus of Ar".	10
6	526	But as I looked into her eyes, I realized that Talena was not for sale.	10
6	553	"Do they hold Talena?" I demanded.	10
7	23	I did not know if Talena lay slave in Verna's camp or not.	10
7	29	I was pleased that I would soon regain Talena.	10
7	30	We would make a splendid couple, she and I, the beautiful Talena, daughter of the Ubar of Ar himself, and the great Bosk, Admiral of Port Kar, jewel of gleaming Thassa.	10
7	42	We would make a splendid couple, she and I, the beautiful Talena, daughter of the Ubar of Ar himself, and the great Bosk, Admiral of Port Kar, jewel of gleaming Thassa.	10
7	121	At my side, in robes worthy of a Ubara, would stand Talena.	10
7	140	The girls, alerted, might abandon the camp and flee deeply into the forests, taking Talena with them.	10
7	332	I saw no evidence of Talena.	10
7	361	They had refused to sell Talena to me.	10
7	406	In the morning I would have Talena back.	10
9	100	"What is the woman Talena to you?" she asked.	10
9	134	"Talena," she said, "by my permission, by one of my women, sent a missive in her own handwriting to Marlenus, her father, the great Ubar".	10
9	158	"Yes," laughed Verna, "according to the codes of the warriors and by the rites of the city of Ar, no longer is Talena kin or daughter of Marlenus of Ar".	10
9	160	According to irreversible ceremonies, both of the warriors and of the city of Ar, Talena was no longer the daughter of Marlenus.	10
9	163	In law, and in the eyes of Goreans, Talena was now without family.	10
9	168	"Does Talena know?" I asked.	10
9	187	"What of Talena?" I asked Verna.	10
9	210	"Talena is no longer deserving of your consideration".	10
9	314	How brave and noble I had been to enter the forests, to rescue the beautiful Talena, daughter of Marlenus of Ar.	10
9	328	Even if freed, Talena would be among the lowest women on Gor.	10
9	337	Talena was a rich and powerful woman, high born and influential.	10
9	342	Who knew to what heights might have been raised the chair of Bosk? But Talena had now been disowned.	10
9	356	Talena was no longer acceptable.	10
9	357	And I, a fool with my dreams, had come into the forest, to rescue her, to best Marlenus, and improve my fortunes, to rescue the beautiful Talena and improve the fortunes of the house of Bosk.	10
9	358	Talena was now nothing.	10
10	120	"She claimed that you had withdrawn your forces to Ar, even that you had disowned Talena.	10
10	125	Talena, by the permissions of Verna, and by way of Mira, Verna's messenger, with whom I dealt, sued for her purchase, such not being the act of a free woman".	10
10	130	"But what of Talena?" I said.	10
11	48	He had made no effort to reach the exchange point, or its vicinity, where Talena was held slave.	10
11	51	He was in no hurry to free Talena.	10
11	67	"She is Talena," I said.	10
11	113	Long ago, more than a year ago, when he had first captured Verna on a hunting expedition, prior to her escape and acquisition of Talena, and her return to the forests, he had intended to bring her to Ar in triumph and there, in the great square before Ar's central cylinder, publicly enslave her.	10
11	646	I did not envy the girl, Talena.	10
11	655	Talena, once the beautiful daughter of a great Ubar, shamed and disowned, was now nothing.	10
12	7	I would, from under the nose of Marlenus, preferably by trade, snatch Talena, thus evening the score for his banishment of me from Ar, thus regaining her, thus winning glory, thus setting my ladder against the political heights of the planet Gor, for, with such a woman at my side, there were few doo...	10
12	34	My companionship with Talena, opening up a thousand avenues and alliances, conjoined with my riches, would have made me easily among the most splendid and powerful men on Gor.	10
12	62	I asked myself, as Verna had twice before, Marlenus, are you always victorious? Now I returned to the Tesephone, without Talena, with nothing.	10
12	124	I was furious! I had failed to rescue Talena! She had been disowned! I and my men had fallen to panther girls! We would have been raped and sold slave had we not been rescued by the incomparable Marlenus of Ar.	10
12	129	And he, when it pleased him, would free Talena, and return her to Ar.	10
12	135	Even the shame of Talena would not shame him, for he had cut her off from him.	10
12	137	Noble, great Ubar! And who would remember Talena, and her shame, after Marlenus, astride a mighty tharlarion, would have his triumph in the streets of Ar, panther girls in tiny cages slung on poles carried by huntsmen, and, walking beside his beast, naked and chained to his stirrup, their former lea...	10
12	206	The men of Tyros! I, like a fool, obsessed with the pursuit of Talena, blind to all, had forgotten them.	10
14	53	Doubtless, too, near one of the exchange points, they would attempt to locate and seize, or purchase, Talena, the former daughter of Marlenus of Ar.	10
14	245	I had come to the forest to find Talena.	10
22	67	And small Torm, in the blue robes of the scribe, lifted his cup, to salute the beauty of Talena.	10
22	583	He had come to the forest to capture Verna and free the woman Talena.	10
22	585	It was a gesture, was it not, worthy of a Ubar? As for the second objective, the freeing of the woman Talena, that was no longer important to him, no longer a worthy aim of a Ubar's act.	10
22	596	She would, however, I had little doubt, send the two women who guarded Talena to his camp north of Laura, with their prisoner, to see if he, as a free man merely, might be interested in the purchase of a slave.	10
22	910	It was the closest I had come to Talena in many years.	10
22	960	I would not see Talena in Port Kar.	10

He had come to love Telima, and had freed her, but she, when he had learned the location of his former Free Companion, Talena, once daughter of Marlenus of Ar, and resol...	10
1	117	And so, Tarl Cabot gone, Bosk, Merchant of Port Kar, had gone to the northern forests, to free Talena, once his Free Companion.	10
1	122	Earlier he had disowned his daughter, Talena, for she had sued for her freedom, a slave's act.	10
1	137	Samos of Port Kar had purchased Talena, as a mere slave, from two panther girls, obtaining her with ease in this manner while I had risked my life in the forest.	10
1	221	When I had returned from the northern forests I had resolved not to look upon Talena, once daughter of Marlenus of Ar, whom Samos had purchased from panther girls.	10
1	229	And so it was that she, Talena, once daughter of Marlenus of Ar, then disowned, once my companion, was ushered into my presence.	10
1	239	"It has been long, Talena," said I.	10
1	325	I felt Talena's lips press to my sandal.	10
1	333	"Do you care for me," I asked, "Talena".	10
1	358	"Long ago," said I, "Talena, we cared for one another.	10
1	360	"It was a foolish girl who cared for you," said Talena.	10
1	382	"It is a wonder that any man will follow you!" cried Talena.	10
1	390	"I could never care for a cripple," said Talena.	10
1	398	"Coward! Traitor to your codes! Sleen!" cried Talena.	10
1	401	"I wish to be returned to my father," said Talena.	10
1	404	Talena drew about her face her veil, refastening it.	10
1	411	"Give me the coins," said Talena.	10
1	424	"Talena?" I cried.	10
1	440	Talena would now be in Ar.	10
1	445	The meanest peasant wench, secure in her caste rights, would be more than Talena.	10
1	454	And when Telima had fled my house, when I had determined to seek Talena in the northern forests, I had, too, let her go.	10
1	466	It was a slave's act, like that of Talena.	10
1	587	It had been that of Telima, who had fled to the marshes, when I had determined to seek Talena in the northern forests.	10
20	31	"You sought Talena," she said.	10
20	32	"Talena, once," I said, "was my companion".	10
20	36	"When I, in the hall of Samos, before leaving for the northern forests to seek Talena, learned of your flight, I wept".	10
22	122	Last summer, in journeying to the forests, to attempt to rescue Talena, I had, in a tavern in Lydius, encountered a wench once known, Vella, Elizabeth Cardwell.	10
22	125	Intent on the rescue of Talena, not wishing to be burdened by another wench, I had not yielded to the entreaties of the girl to buy her and free her.	10
22	127	I thought then, too, of Talena.	10
22	257	I thought of many things, of Ar, of Marlenus, of Talena, with whom I was not pleased.	10
22	269	Incredibly, perhaps, the values, wealth and power, which had driven me in the forest, when I had sought Talena, no longer seemed of much interest to me.	10

5	720	Then I had been seeking Talena, to free her in the northern forests, and return her safe to Port Kar, where we might, as I had then thought, renew the companionship.	10
5	721	Surely would it have seemed inappropriate to have returned in triumph with Talena, with that dark-haired wench, such a fantastic beauty, nude, wearing my chains, in the hold of my ship.	10
5	722	Would Talena not have cut her throat, under the metal collar? And had I freed her would she not, soon, have fallen again to a man's collar? Her flight from the Sardar had not won her freedom.	10
5	785	I had thought, at that time, however, that I would find Talena.	10
5	786	Talena, unless she, too, were collared, and had no choice, would not be likely to accept such a beauty beneath the same roof with her.	10
26	313	When Talena, the daughter of Marlenus of Ar, Ubar of Ar, had, in a missive to him, begged her freedom, he had, on his sword and on the medallion of Ar, sworn against her the oath of disownment.	10

26	423	"I am Talena, Ubara of Ar! Down on your knees before me! I am Talena, Talena! Ubara of Ar! I am your Ubara!" "You may, of course, attempt to conceal your former identity," said Tolnar.	10
7	307	Myron, the polemarkos, bows before our Talena!" Talena then bowed her head, too, as though shyly, gratefully, before the polemarkos.	10
7	324	"First," said Myron, "I bring greetings from Lurius of Jad to Talena of Ar, daughter of Marlenus of Ar, Ubar of Ubars!" Talena inclined her head, accepting these greetings.	10

9	452	Talena made another sign, and the fellow who held Claudia's hair pulled her head up, that she might see Talena.	10
27	367	I looked down at the new slave, whom I had decided to call 'Talena', which slave name was also entered on her papers, in the first endorsement, as her first slave name pertinent to these papers, and by means of which she could always be referred to in courts of law as, say, the slave who on such and...	10
2	129	Also, secret documents earlier obtained in Brundisium, and deciphered, gave at least one other name, that of a female, one called Talena, formerly the daughter, until disowned, of Marlenus of Ar.	10
3	251	"Let his daughter then, Talena, take the throne," said another.	10
3	269	"I think it will be Talena," said a man, "who will sit upon the throne of Ar".	10
5	42	"Talena, the daughter of Marlenus, has offered to sacrifice herself for the safety of the city".	10
5	45	"Talena has agreed to deliver herself naked, and in the chains of a slave, to the Cosians, if they will but spare Ar!" "She must never be permitted to do so!" cried a man.	10
5	48	"Noble Talena!" cried another.	10
5	66	"I, too, have heard it said," I said, "that Talena was once a slave, and I have heard it said, as well, that even now she wears on her thigh the mark of Treve, a souvenir of her former bondage to a tarnsman of that city".	10
5	76	In making an offer of this sort, of course, Talena was implicitly claiming for herself the status of being a Ubar's daughter, else the offer would have been, as one of the fellows had suggested, absurd.	10
6	30	"I have heard," said a man, near me, speaking to another, "that many other free women, like Talena herself, have offered themselves as slaves, that the city be spared".	10
6	115	"They may want our Talena," said a man.	10
6	120	"They cannot have our Talena," said a man.	10
6	121	"I do not think it is Talena they want," said a man.	10
6	175	"Or the intercessions of our beloved Talena," said another.	10
7	113	"No!" "It is Talena!" wept a man.	10
7	114	The figure, to be sure, was robed in white, and veiled, but I had little doubt that it was indeed Talena, once the daughter of Marlenus of Ar, Ubar of Ubars.	10
7	135	"No, Talena!" cried a man.	10
7	136	"No, Talena," cried another, "do not!" "We will not permit it!" cried a man.	10
7	137	"Not our Talena!" wept a woman.	10
7	150	Talena herself, on the height of the platform, had her hands out, palms up, shaking them negatively, even desperately.	10
7	156	"Noble Talena!" wept a fellow.	10
7	159	Talena then, now that the crowd, divided and confused, seemed more tractable, put her head down and to one side, and, lifting her arms, the palms up, made a gesture as of resignation and nobility, pressing back the crowd.	10
7	163	Had Talena herself not suddenly interposed her own will, clearly, vigorously, even desperately, signaling negatively to the crowd, the platform and avenue might have swarmed with irate citizens, intent upon her rescue.	10
7	166	"Protect Talena!" cried several men.	10
7	169	"Talena intends to sacrifice herself for us, for the city, for the Home Stone!" wept a man.	10
7	181	Seremides then, again, held out his hand to Talena.	10
7	183	As they neared the figure of Gnieus Lelius, kneeling in his chains near the front ramp, Talena seemed to hesitate, to shrink back with distaste.	10
7	186	Seremides seemed to hesitate for a moment and then, as though he had made a determined decision, however unwise it might be, graciously, and with great courtesy, conducted Talena to a place further from the kneeling Gnieus Lelius.	10
7	189	As Talena was conducted to her place, a few feet from Gnieus Lelius, she drew up the white robes a little with her right hand, so that they were above her ankles.	10
7	205	I thought I saw the figure of Talena, standing on the platform, with others, tremble.	10
7	210	I doubted, however, that Talena was naked beneath them.	10
7	257	The crowd then hushed as Seremides extended his hand to Talena and conducted her before Myron, her head down.	10
7	258	"Poor Talena," whispered a man.	10
7	263	Myron, however, bowed low before Talena, in this perhaps saluting the loftiness and honorableness of her status, that of the free female.	10
7	272	Talena, as I knew, was an exquisitely beautiful female, with that olive skin, and dark eyes and hair.	10
7	277	Surely Talena might count, say, from the standpoint of a Lurius of Jad, as such a trophy.	10
7	287	Myron handed this to Talena, who accepted it.	10
7	297	These, too, he then delivered to Talena.	10
7	301	"Woe is Talena," whispered a man.	10
7	310	"Poor modest little Talena!" said another.	10
7	311	To be sure, it seemed that Talena now, overcome with modesty, clutching the garments to her gratefully with one hand and with the other seeming to try to pull down the white robes, to more cover her bared feet, wished to leave the platform.	10
7	313	"Modest Talena!" exclaimed a man.	10
7	323	He then turned to Talena, who stood somewhat behind him, the hand of Seremides on her arm, as though to supply her with perhaps much-needed kindly support in these trying moments.	10
7	327	The impressiveness of greeting Talena first, I had no doubt, had its significance.	10
7	332	And, naturally, this sort of reference to Marlenus would scarcely be expected to tarnish the image of Talena, who was thus implicitly being characterized as the daughter of the ubar of ubars.	10
7	338	"I speak on behalf of Talena of Ar, daughter of Marlenus of Ar, Ubar of Ubars," called Seremides.	10
7	347	I noted that while Myron and his fellows scattered these coins about, Seremides, waving to the crowd, and Talena, lifting her hand, too, and the High Council, withdrew from the surface of the platform.	10
7	401	"Hail Talena!" cried others.	10
7	402	"Hail Talena!" I looked at Marcus.	10
7	408	On that platform, barefoot, Talena had stood.	10
7	424	On it Talena, of Ar, had stood barefoot.	10
7	478	"And Talena," he said.	10
7	537	On it Talena had stood, barefoot.	10
7	543	"Doubtless prepared for the feet of the noble Talena,' he said.	10
7	553	Indeed, I suppose that it had cost Talena much to be seen in public, barefoot.	10
7	561	I wondered how Talena might look on another sort of platform, say, on an auction platform, stripped and in chains, being bid upon by men.	10
8	114	A medallion of Ar was also placed about Talena's neck but the traditional medallion, which had been worn by Marlenus, and which he had seldom permitted out of his keeping, and which he may have had with him upon his departure from the city long ago, had not been found.	10
8	115	Too, the ring of the Ubar, which in any event would have been too large for the finger of Talena, was not found.	10
8	118	After the medallion, Talena had been given the Home Stone of Ar, that she might hold it in her left hand, and a scepter, a rod of office, signifying power, that she might hold in her right.	10
8	214	"Talena of Ar, as you know," said Marcus, "now affects the garments of Cos".	10
8	417	The first performance of the pageant, several days ago, had been attended by Talena, the Ubara.	10
8	425	I had not seen Talena when she had left the palanquin, for she had done so within the theater's outer concourse, hidden from the street.	10
9	1	The Plaza of Tarns "She," said Talena, Ubara of Ar, "she is chosen".	10
9	7	Talena, with certain aides and counselors, and guardsmen and scribes, was on a dais, it mounted on the surface of the platform, a few feet away, rather to its left, as one would face it.	10
9	50	"Look at noble Talena," said a man.	10
9	53	"Poor Talena," said a fellow.	10
9	71	"No," said Talena, "not her".	10
9	72	A guardsman, on the surface of the platform, before the dais, draped the robe of the penitent about the shoulders of the woman before Talena.	10
9	77	"No, Talena!" called a fellow from the crowd, a few feet away.	10
9	78	Talena regally turned her head in his direction.	10
9	80	"Hail Talena!" called a man from the vicinity of the fellow who had called out before.	10
9	81	"Glory to Talena!" called another.	10
9	82	"Glory to Talena!" cried others.	10
9	84	"How merciful is Talena," said a fellow.	10
9	92	"It seems you are a slave," said Talena.	10
9	94	Talena turned to one of her counselors, and they conferred.	10
9	99	"It is then sufficient," said the scribe to Talena.	10
9	100	"You are chosen," said Talena, graciously.	10
9	104	Talena nodded, and he then addressed himself to the kneeling woman.	10
9	107	"Do you wish, as a free female, before you join your sisters to our right, to say anything?" "Hail Talena!" she cried.	10
9	108	"Glory to Talena!" This cry was taken up by hundreds about.	10
9	148	"Not her," said Talena to another woman, revealed before her.	10
9	150	"Nor she," said Talena of another, who had been announced.	10
9	152	As I have mentioned, there were scribes on, or near, the dais with Talena.	10
9	156	Another list, presumably a duplicate list, was kept as a record of the results of Talena's decisions.	10
9	162	Another was held by one of Talena's aides, at her side.	10
9	164	"Bring her forward," said Talena.	10
9	165	The guardsman, who now had her well in hand, holding her from behind, by the upper arms, literally lifting her off the surface of the platform, carried her forward, before Talena.	10
9	169	"Strip her," said Talena.	10
9	171	"Mercy, my Ubara!" cried the woman, lifting her hands, clasped, to Talena.	10
9	172	"What is your name, child?" asked Talena.	10
9	174	"Fulvia, Lady of Ar!" "We are all ladies of Ar," said Talena.	10
9	176	"Spare us! Spare your sisters of Ar!" "Alas, my child," cried Talena, "we are all guilty.	10
9	180	There were numerous protests concerning Talena's apparent willingness to accept, and share, the guilt of Ar.	10
9	181	"No," cried Talena.	10
9	189	"And now," said Talena, "in spite of all, and the most outrageous provocation, our brother, Lurius of Jad, Ubar of Cos, has spared our city.	10
9	192	"And now, my child," said Talena to Lady Fulvia, "do you begin to understand why you have been requested to come here this day?" Lady Fulvia, it seemed, could not speak.	10
9	194	"Surely you regret the crimes of Ar," said Talena.	10
9	205	"Surely you wish to do your best to expiate the crimes of Ar?" said Talena to the kneeling woman.	10
9	212	"Please!" cried Talena, holding forth her hand.	10
9	217	Talena, with a small, reluctant, almost tragic gesture, indicated that Lady Fulvia might be taken to the side.	10
9	243	"No," said Talena, again.	10
9	246	Talena seemed then prepared to dismiss another woman, for she had her hand half lifted, as though, with the customary small gesture, to do so, when one of her counselors, a Cosian, near her, in the uniform of a high captain, bent quickly toward her, his eyes glinting on the female in question, she s...	10
9	251	"You are chosen," said Talena.	10
9	261	"No," said Talena, again and again.	10
9	294	Talena seemed displeased.	10
9	296	Claudia looked up at Talena, on the dais.	10
9	298	"Perhaps, if you are suitable," said Talena, in fury.	10
9	300	"I," said Talena, "am the daughter of Marlenus of Ar!" "You are not!" cried Claudia.	10
9	303	"Treason!" "Your father sent men to the Voltai, to seek out and destroy Marlenus of Ar!" cried Talena.	10
9	305	"That is well known, and so, too, at the time, were many in Ar!" "Cernus!" cried Talena.	10
9	307	"To whom you were a slave!" said Talena, scornfully.	10
9	309	"Turn about, slowly," said Talena.	10
9	312	Then she again faced Talena.	10
9	318	You are nothing! I am the daughter of Minus Tentius Hinrabius!" "Do not listen to her, beloved Talena!" called a man.	10
9	320	"You are a Cosian puppet!" "I am your Ubara!" cried Talena.	10
9	324	"In this fashion we may demonstrate our respect for Cos, our gratitude to her, our friendship with her," said Talena.	10
9	326	"Perhaps it is you will dance," cried Talena, "and as a slave, before my officers!" "And I would do so more excitingly than you!" said Claudia.	10
9	328	To be sure, Talena was not trained.	10
9	330	"Slave! Slave!" cried Talena.	10
9	332	"I am not Marlenus of Ar!" cried Talena.	10
9	333	"He treated me with honor," she said, "and gave me support and residence!" "I am not he," said Talena.	10
9	336	Talena turned to the crowd.	10
9	340	"Do you think you should be shown special privileges?" asked Talena.	10
9	349	"Do you think you are better than other women of Ar?" asked Talena.	10
9	350	"I am better than at least one," said Claudia, "Talena, who would be tyranness of Ar, save only that her Cosian masters will not permit her such power!" "Treason!" cried men.	10
9	352	It seemed that Talena might swoon at the very thought of this.	10
9	356	"No! No!" cried Talena to the crowd.	10
9	357	"Do not cry out so, against a woman of Ar!" "Merciful Talena!" wept a man.	10
9	360	"I regret that I cannot," said Talena, "despite my love for you, exempt you from your duties to the state".	10
9	361	"Hail Talena!" cried a man.	10
9	363	"Glory to Talena!" cried a man.	10
9	367	"Here I am before you, naked and in your power! Have you not waited for this moment? Is my name not first on your list? Relish your triumph! Do with me as you will!" "My decision will be made," said Talena, "as it would be in the case of any other woman of Ar.	10
9	369	Talena then seemed to ponder the matter of Claudia, assessing her fittingness to be included among items to be accorded to Cos, in atonement for, and in reparation for, the crimes of Ar.	10
9	370	"Turn about, again, my dear, slowly," said Talena, musingly.	10
9	373	Talena then seemed to hesitate.	10
9	379	Brilliant insult thusly did Talena to the Hinrabian.	10
9	380	Talena then turned again to face her.	10
9	381	"The decision has been made," said Talena.	10
9	383	"The matter was an intricate one," said Talena, "and required the weighing of several subtle factors.	10
9	392	"Did you not support the regime of Gnieus Lelius?" asked Talena.	10
9	395	"In not opposing such wicked policies, you betrayed the Home Stone of Ar," said Talena.	10
9	397	"You wished to use him to further your own political ambitions," said Talena.	10
9	399	"But your political ambitions are soon to be at an end," said Talena.	10
9	401	"You even slept at his slave ring!" cried Talena.	10
9	403	"In the future," said Talena, "perhaps you will grow accustomed to sleeping at such rings".	10
9	407	"And, citizens," called Talena to the crowd, "have you not heard her, even here, on this very platform, in my very presence, utter shamelessly seditious discourse!" "Yes!" cried men.	10
9	409	"Kill her!" "But," said Talena to the horrified Hinrabian, "I am prepared, on my own responsibility, and in spite of your crimes, in recollection of our former affection for one another, which I still entertain for you, and in respect of your exalted lineage, and the contributions of your family to ...	10
9	412	"Prepare to hear yourself sentenced," said Talena.	10
