22	215	"Where," asked Targo, "in the camp of a legitimate slaver do you expect me to find clothing suitable to a free woman?" I laughed, and Targo smiled and left.	10
21	73	"Sorry, Sweet Wench," said the grizzled man, giving the girl's head a friendly shake, "but we don't want Targo coming over here with his whip and beating the tharlarion oil out of us both, do we?" Sobbing silently the girl's head fell down again on her breast.	10
21	130	"Targo!" he called.	10
21	134	From among the domed tents, wearing a swirling robe of broadly striped blue and yellow silk, with a headband of the same material, there approached a short, fat man, Targo the Slaver, he who was master of this small caravan.	10
21	135	Targo wore purple sandals, the straps of which were set with pearls.	10
21	142	"Good day, Master," smiled Targo, bowing as well as he could from the waist, hastily taking account of the unlikely stranger who stood before him.	10
21	147	Targo looked at me, not quite understanding.	10
21	153	Targo and the grizzled master of the irons exchanged glances.	10
21	154	"But she is only a slave," said Targo.	10
21	158	"Ah!" said Targo, and his tiny eyes gleamed.	10
21	163	Targo stared at me, uncomprehendingly.	10
21	170	"Don't brand the girl," said Targo.	10
21	175	"Don't call the guardsmen," said Targo, who was now sweating.	10
21	177	Targo's eyes darted to the scabbard and moved from one emerald to the other.	10
21	180	"Perhaps," said Targo, "we can make an arrangement".	10
21	182	Targo spoke sharply to the grizzled man.	10
21	185	Targo and I regarded one another until the man returned, the leather bucket hung over his shoulder by its straps.	10
21	187	Targo, with his short, rolling steps, went to the girl and placed one thumb, wearing a large ruby ring, under her chin, pushing her head up.	10
21	188	"A true beauty," said Targo.	10
21	190	Behind Targo I could see the grizzled man shaking his head negatively.	10
21	191	"And," said Targo, "she is eager to please".	10
21	193	"As gentle as a dove, as docile as a kitten," continued Targo.	10
21	196	The girl fixed her eyes on Targo.	10
21	200	"Oh, Master," cried Targo, swirling his robes in disbelief that I could have uttered such a thought.	10
21	201	"I paid a hundred silver tarn disks for her myself!" Behind Targo the grizzled man quickly held up his fingers, opening and closing them five times.	10
21	202	"I doubt," I said to Targo, "that she is worth more than fifty".	10
21	203	Targo seemed stunned.	10
21	209	In annoyance, looking over the rings of Targo and the sapphires which hung from his ears, I knew he would be a much better judge of their value than I.	10
21	210	"Preposterous!" said Targo, shaking his head vehemently.	10
21	215	Targo gazed at the stones appreciatively.	10
21	218	I could see that this did not please Targo, for apparently he wished to rid his chain of the blond girl.	10
21	222	'" Targo threw a violent look at the grizzled man, who, smiling to himself, knelt to supervise the irons in the brazier.	10
21	223	Angrily Targo led the way to the grassy clearing among the trees.	10
21	232	Were these marvelous creatures, each of whom already wore the graceful brand of the slave girl, any the less worthy than she? "No," I said to Targo.	10
21	240	They had wanted to be sold to me—or, I supposed, to any man who would take them from the hated chain of Targo.	10
21	241	Targo seemed relieved.	10
21	250	"Ai!" cried the grizzled man, and even Targo the Slaver looked baffled.	10
21	254	"Take the scabbard," I said to Targo.	10
21	256	"And the helmet!" said Targo.	10
21	265	Targo and the grizzled man had gone to the domed tent to fetch the keys to the girl's chains.	10
22	185	Outside the tent we heard Targo's voice.	10
22	187	Targo burst into the tent carrying a small bundle and approvingly noted the girl's posture.	10
22	194	"A token of my appreciation of your business," said Targo.	10
22	198	I noted that Targo did not even furnish the customary slave livery of Gor but merely a camisk, which had clearly been worn before.	10
22	199	Targo then dug into the pouch which he wore at his side and held out two yellow cords, about eighteen inches apiece.	10
22	202	"Ah well," said Targo, "how is one to know?" He tossed the cords to the rug before the girl.	10
22	203	"I have no more slave whips," said Targo, shrugging his shoulders sadly, "but your sword belt will do as well".	10
22	205	Targo looked puzzled.	10
22	207	Targo's mouth dropped open.	10
22	209	Targo squinted at the Pleasure Rack at the side of the tent, perhaps looking for perspiration stains on the straps.	10
22	217	In a few moments Targo stumbled back into the tent, his arms bulging with cloth.	10
23	1	Return to Tharna Outside the camp of Targo, Lara and I climbed a small hill and stood on its crest.	10
24	187	Then treacherously I was set upon and sent to the Mines of Tharna, and Dorna the Proud and Thorn, this Captain, seized Lara, your Tatrix, and sold her into slavery—sold her to the slaver Targo, whose camp is now at the Fair of En'Kara, sold her for the sum of fifty silver tarn disks!"

7	228	Then the two girls who had pulled Targo to the circle leaped on Lana and stripped her, throwing her to the grass before Targo.	10
6	1	I Encounter Targo, Who is a Slaver I awoke in the morning, near dawn.	10
6	137	He called the fat, pudgy little man "Targo".	10
6	138	Targo looked up to the top of the hill.	10
6	141	Targo drew a deep breath.	10
6	150	Targo regarded me, puzzled.	10
6	152	Targo sent him back, perhaps to stand watch.	10
6	162	Then Targo began to speak to me.	10
6	167	Targo then seemed to reconsider his impatience.	10
6	193	It struck me then what was familiar about the language Targo spoke.	10
6	205	Targo noted the difference in my attitude, and he redoubled his efforts to communicate with me.	10
6	217	The men, saving the one called Targo, wore tunics, with helmets.	10
6	242	It then occurred to me that Targo had seemed haggard, apprehensive, and that, although he seemed to be the sort of man who might be vain about his appearance, judging from the earrings, the sandals, the robe, the rings, that he had not kept up his appearance.	10
6	245	Targo was running.	10
6	272	I began to find Targo odious.	10
6	277	Targo himself had now grown more and more irritable.	10
6	280	Once again Targo tried to speak to me, patiently, slowly.	10
6	287	There must be many, then, on this world, many! I was tired of Targo.	10
6	297	"Kajira!" laughed Targo.	10
6	300	Tears were running out of Targo's eyes, tiny in the fat of his face.	10
6	306	"Lana!" cried Targo.	10
6	325	Targo said something to the girl, Lana, and the stinging rain of leather stopped.	10
6	333	Then I was pulled again up and placed, on my knees, the men holding my wrists, before Targo.	10
6	343	"Kajira," said Targo.	10
6	354	I watched Targo's retreating back.	10
6	400	Targo was now crying out orders.	10
6	422	I was pleased that she, too, had been switched! She was a slacker! Why should the rest of us pull for her? Was she better than we? "Har-ta!" cried Targo.	10
6	431	Targo walked beside us.	10
6	442	Who was she? A fool! On such a world as this it was every girl for herself! Every girl for herself! "Har-ta!" cried Targo.	10
7	1	I, With Others, Am Taken Northward Targo, my master, was a slaver.	10
7	13	Considering the nature of the goods commonly found in Laura, rough goods for the most part, one might have supposed it strange that Targo was bound for that city.	10
7	16	It was to collect this merchandise that Targo was venturing to Laura.	10
7	20	Further, in offering as much as two gold pieces in Laura, Targo assured himself the first pick of Haakon's choicest captures.	10
7	21	Beyond this, Targo had speculated that since no city had recently fallen, and the house of Cernus had been destroyed in Ar, one of the great slave houses, that the market would be high this spring.	10
7	23	Unfortunately for Targo, village girls are not of high caste.	10
7	25	When I was taken by Targo, he had only one high-caste girl on his chain, the tall girl, Inge, who was of the scribes.	10
7	31	It seemed not unlikely that one of Targo's village girls, if trained and brought to Ar, might net him from ten to fifteen, perhaps even twenty, gold pieces.	10
7	37	Before Targo had acquired me, he had been making his way northward from Ko-ro-ba to Laura.	10
7	54	We were hoping that she would be sold, but Targo was holding out for an extremely high price for her.	10
7	58	Targo, and some of the guards, sometimes, would give her candies, and sweetmeats.	10
7	61	Targo, and the guards, made me practice it many times.	10
7	72	Targo had set forth from Ko-ro-ba with forty girls and five wagons, ten bosk, and many other goods.	10
7	75	Fortunately for Targo he had managed to bring his caravan to the edge of a vast Ka-la-na thicket just before the tarnsmen struck.	10
7	77	Targo had divided his men expertly.	10
7	81	Then, but moments before the tarnsmen struck, Targo, with his men driving the girls and the bosk, fled into the thicket.	10
7	84	Targo must have lost some eleven men, and some twenty of his girls were taken by the tarnsmen, but, after a bit, the tarnsmen withdrew.	10
7	86	Rask withdrew his men and, in moments, the captured girls bound across their saddles, and many of the other goods of Targo thrust into their packs, they took flight.	10
7	87	Targo had then gathered his men together, and his remaining goods, feminine and otherwise.	10
7	91	The bosk, unfortunately for Targo, had either broken free or been cut free.	10
7	99	Then Targo had set out again for Laura.	10
7	102	Fortunately, not more than two days after I had been added to Targo's chain, we encountered a caravan of bosk wagons, traveling southeast toward Ko-ro-ba from Laura.	10
7	103	Targo sold two girls, and, with some extra gold, purchased two wagons and two teams of bosk, as well as supplies of water and food.	10
7	110	The camisks had been burned with most of Targo's other goods.	10
7	113	Under Targo's direction the girls, happily, cut and stitched their own camisks.	10
7	114	The camisk, I am told, normally falls to the knees, but Targo made us cut ours considerably shorter.	10
7	117	Targo was not satisfied with its length, and he made me shorten it still more.	10
7	142	When Targo inspected me, he made me tighten the belt, to accentuate my figure.	10
7	148	I wondered why Targo permitted us camisks.	10
7	154	Secondly, I think Targo gave us camisks to make us even more his slaves.	10
7	158	Our lives became a great deal easier after Targo encountered the caravan wagons.	10
7	163	One of the wagons had an ankle bar, and the other one was fitted with the ankle bar from Targo's damaged wagon, which he then abandoned and burned on the grass.	10
7	167	Targo had sold two girls.	10
7	183	I was reluctant to enter the water but, at a word from Targo, I immersed myself, shuddering, teeth chattering, in the swift, chill stream.	10
7	193	On the bank Targo beamed.	10
7	212	Then, she leapt to her feet, to the center of the circle, and she cried out to Targo, oh so prettily, and held out her hands to him.	10
7	216	How beautiful she was in my clothing! She wore them better than I! Then Targo, protesting, was pulled by two squealing girls to the center of the circle.	10
7	220	Lana walked about Targo, crying out at him and gesturing.	10
7	230	Then, when she was released she crawled rapidly to Targo, shuddering, thrust her head to his feet, seized his foot and began to cover his sandal with kisses.	10
7	234	Targo clapped his hands twice and, once again, there were masters and slave girls.	10
7	264	We encountered four more caravans, and, at each, Targo put forth his display chain.	10
7	283	I had grown accustomed, of course, from Targo, and the guards, to being looked upon as a slave girl.	10
7	322	Targo sold two girls that afternoon.	10
7	353	I enjoyed the dream, but then it seemed Targo was coming for me, with the straps swinging in his hand.	10
7	383	I heard Targo crying out.	10
7	397	Targo had gone out, his blue and yellow robe swirling, part way to meet it.	10
7	401	I had even learned to kneel when addressed by the guards and, of course, always, when approached by Targo, my master.	10
7	457	"I picked her up in the fields," said Targo.	10
7	474	Targo moved back, bowing deeply, and the wagon slowly moved past us.	10
7	476	When the wagon, and the retinue, had passed us, Targo straightened up.	10
7	479	"Into the wagons," said Targo.	10
7	483	"The Lady Rena of Lydius," said Targo, "of the Builders".	10
7	507	She was thrown to the feet of Targo.	10
7	512	Targo then, piece by piece, from the leather pouch at his belt, handed forty-five pieces of gold to the chief of the two men.	10
7	516	The two men took Targo's gold and withdrew into the darkness.	10
7	517	"You were foolish to hire mercenaries to guard you," said Targo.	10
7	523	"You have an admirer," Targo told her, "a Captain of Tyros, who glimpsed you in Lydius last fall.	10
7	528	"You will learn when you are sold to him," said Targo.	10
7	529	"Curiosity is not becoming in a Kajira," said Targo.	10
7	534	"Think!" urged Targo.	10
7	536	"Strip her," said Targo.	10
7	564	"Into the wagons," called Targo.	10
7	571	Targo did not wish to remain too long in this place.	10
8	28	We sat there for several minutes, and then, eventually, we heard Targo haggling with a barge master for passage across the river.	10
8	65	Targo was charged twenty-one copper tarn disks for myself, the other girls, the new girl, and his four bosk.	10
8	174	Indeed, it was such who had attacked Targo earlier, to the south, before he had added a confused, lost, wandering barbarian girl to his chain.	10
8	181	Targo came forward on the barge, and, shielding his eyes against the early morning sun, looked upward.	10
8	185	Targo seemed pleased.	10
8	187	"The compound of Haakon is outside of Laura, to the north," said Targo.	10
8	188	Then Targo and the one-eyed guard returned toward the stern of the barge, where two of the bargemen handled the great steering oars.	10
8	206	I expected Targo would keep her hooded and gagged in Laura, for it was possible she might be known there.	10
8	208	She would not escape Targo.	10
8	238	"Targo will not sell you until he reaches Ar".	10
8	277	I became aware of Targo standing over me.	10
8	281	The one-eyed, grizzled guard stood near Targo.	10
8	283	"Do you think she might become beautiful?" asked Targo.	10
8	289	"It is hard for a white silk girl to be beautiful," said Targo.	10
8	292	When I looked at Targo again, he said, "Put her six on the chain".	10
8	294	When I looked up again Targo and the guard were elsewhere.	10
8	300	But Targo did not display his chain in Laura, to my relief.	10
8	310	Targo had rented space in one compound, adjoining others.	10
8	311	Our compound shared a common wall of bars with another, that of Haakon of Skjern, whom Targo had traveled north to do business with.	10
8	324	Targo's other girls, for he had now purchased several of these, of whom I was one, all wore their hair long and combed, straight.	10
8	335	Targo would have his pick of one hundred of these women.	10
8	337	I had watched Targo, not hurrying, with his expert eye and quick, delicate hands, examining the women.	10
8	346	Targo took more than two days to make his choices.	10
8	383	Targo seemed nervous in doing business with him.	10
8	384	We remained six full days in Targo's rented compound outside of Laura.	10
8	435	I was leashed, given a burden, and, together, we all returned to Targo's compound.	10
8	450	If I did wear it back Targo would surely inquire, and I would doubtless be beaten.	10
8	580	That afternoon, Targo called me aside.	10
8	589	There were sixteen girls in the chain now, for Targo had sold four before coming to Laura.	10
8	592	"You are high on the chain now," said Targo.	10
8	605	I think it was rather because Targo was, simply, rather pleased with the lot of us.	10
8	609	Targo was in a good mood.	10
8	610	That is why, I think, Targo permitted us clothing in the compound.	10
8	647	We all begged Targo, even the village girls, that he be permitted to do so.	10
8	648	Targo consented, to our delight, and the small mountebank with the strange animal cleared a small space near the bars on the far side of the compound, away from the bars forming the common wall with the compound of Haakon of Skjern.	10
8	704	I saw that even Targo laughed, holding his belly in his blue-and-yellow slaver's robes.	10
8	730	Then we became aware that the guards, and Targo, were laughing.	10
8	734	How comical to the guards and Targo, and the mountebank, must have seemed that undignified pile, that squirming, panic-stricken heap, that helpless, terrified, screaming tangle of slave girls.	10
8	736	The guards were still laughing, and Targo was still smiling.	10
8	827	Targo's wagons, now in the number of sixteen, the additional wagons and teams purchased in Laura, were scattered about at various distances from the compound, forming, in groups of twos and threes, small, isolated camps for the guards.	10
8	830	Targo, in his way, may have been a gambler, but he was not a fool.	10
8	839	"They have asked Targo to permit us to serve them," she said.	10
8	843	Moreover, I knew the guards, for they had been with Targo since my capture.	10
8	863	Targo had not had his older girls subjected to this kitchen work.	10
8	956	Tomorrow, Targo, and his men and his merchandise, would make their way to Laura and, crossing the river there, begin their long, overland journey to Ko-ro-ba, called by some the Towers of the Morning, and from thence to luxurious Ar itself.	10
8	998	"Targo would take my hide off to the backbone," he muttered.	10
10	29	It seemed incredibly huge, even more so in the small hut than earlier outside of Targo's compound.	10
10	58	It was Targo's intention to sell me as a pleasure slave.	10
10	203	To be sure, had he seen me nude in Targo's girl cage, clutching the bars, an imprisoned slave, it might have been different.	10
10	335	I was not a slave! "How did you know that I was in Targo's compound?" I asked.	10
10	368	"I had spoken with Targo and the guards," he said, "and knew the celebrations planned for the evening.	10
10	570	Shortly after I had come into his keeping, Targo himself, as my master, had, to my horror, delicately, made that determination.	10
11	2	"See," said Targo, to the other girls, "El-in-or is brave".	10
11	14	"See how brave El-in-or is," said Targo.	10
11	29	"Stand against the wall, El-in-or," said Targo.	10
11	37	The Lady Rena of Lydius flung herself naked, on her knees, before Targo.	10
11	40	"You captured me for another! Surely you will not do this to me! My master would surely object! Do not do this cruel thing to me! My master would not wish it!" "Your master," said Targo, "he who arranged for your capture and delivery, instructed that you be delivered to him with the pierced ears of ...	10
11	43	Inge then knelt before Targo.	10
11	45	Do not permit this to be done to me!" "Your ears will be pierced," said Targo.	10
11	47	Lana then approached Targo.	10
11	56	"Your ears will be pierced," said Targo.	10
11	59	"I do not think so," smiled Targo.	10
11	66	I was watching Lana and Targo.	10
11	67	"Please!" wept Lana, now genuinely frightened, and distressed, fearing that Targo would not yield to her entreaties.	10
11	68	"Please!" "Your ears will be pierced," said Targo.	10
11	70	"Please!" "Take this slave away," said Targo.	10
11	169	"El-in-or," snapped Targo.	10
11	189	"A punch," said Targo.	10
11	196	"Someday a master may wish to put a nose ring on you," explained Targo.	10
11	202	Targo looked at me, puzzled.	10
11	211	"Bind her," said Targo.	10
11	212	I, held by the leather worker, cast wild eyes on Targo.	10
11	234	"Gag her," said Targo.	10
11	281	She did say to Targo, "But I am of the scribes".	10
11	309	Some prudish slavers, scandalized by ear piercing, refused to have it done to their girls, but Targo, doubtless because of the gold involved, had insisted upon it.	10
11	335	"I heard Targo telling one of the guards," she whispered, looking about.	10
11	342	Perhaps Targo wished to take our minds from the events of the morning.	10
11	359	In the early evening of the day on which our nose rings had been affixed I was returning to my cage, after having run an errand for Targo in the pens.	10
11	432	He, of course, would not have taken me, for fear of the wrath of Targo, but I had no doubt of his desire.	10
11	434	If it had not been for Targo he doubtless would have taken me, on the cement flooring, before the bars.	10
11	489	We had approached the city in the early morning and Targo had permitted us to leave the wagons to look upon it, in the morning sun.	10
11	774	The chances that I might have found my way back to Targo's chain, or had been returned to him, were not high.	10
11	880	It was one of Targo's guards, he who had guarded me at the physician's.	10
11	907	"Targo has already left Laura," he said.	10
11	910	"If you had left Laura with Targo," he said, "you might have seen Marlenus of Ar".	10
11	977	When, that night, after taking a barge across the Laurius, loaded with lumber, we found Targo's encampment, I was happy.	10
11	980	Targo was pleased that I had been returned to his chain.	10
11	988	They would probably not suppose I could have been returned to Targo.	10
11	989	Indeed, Targo had left Laura before I could have reached the city.	10
11	1079	Haakon of Skjern, from whom Targo had purchased his hundred northern beauties, now concluding their training, was in Ko-ro-ba.	10
11	1080	This news, for no reason I clearly understood, rendered Targo apprehensive.	10
11	1089	Targo, and others, had even more reason.	10
11	1090	It had been he, Rask of Treve, who had raided Targo's slave caravan, before, in the fields northwest of Ko-ro-ba, on the route to Laura, a wandering, strangely clad, barbarian girl had been enslaved, whose name was El-in-or.	10
11	1091	Indeed, it was because of Rask of Treve that Targo, who became that El-in-or's master, had lost most of his women and wagons, and all of his bosk.	10
11	1093	Targo, as I knew, had fled into a Ka-la-na thicket with his men, saving his gold and nineteen of his girls, Inge, Ute and Lana among them.	10
11	1160	He was shown through our section of the pens by Targo.	10
11	1161	"This is Soron, of Ar," said Targo, stopping before our cage.	10
11	1168	"El-in-or!" snapped Targo.	10
11	1172	Targo was angry.	10
11	1188	"Buy me, Master," said Inge, now at the bars, whom Targo had gestured forward.	10
11	1200	Targo spread his hands, and smiled.	10
11	1220	He then turned to talk with Targo.	10
11	1224	The man, and Targo, were now prepared to go to the next cage.	10
11	1233	And then he had turned away with Targo, and was then before the next cage.	10
11	1281	What was there to fear of a Haakon of Skjern with an empty scabbard? I could not understand the uneasiness of Targo, and certain of his men.	10
11	1285	Furthermore, in Ko-ro-ba Targo had purchased additional girls, and guards, and his caravan southeast to Ar would be a substantial one, one surely not to be endangered by some forty to fifty tarnsmen.	10
11	1298	I no longer wore the hated nose ring! Elinor Brinton was free of the hated nose ring! "El-in-or," said Targo.	10
11	1320	"Targo likes you.	10
11	1325	I went to Targo, trembling, and knelt at his feet, my head to the boards of the floor.	10
11	1340	"El-in-or," said Targo.	10
11	1342	"In the morning," said Targo, "slaves will be fed before dawn.	10
11	1406	For some reason my thoughts strayed back, to the time when the slaver, Soron of Ar, had passed through the pens, in the company of Targo.	10
12	5	My old camisk, long ago, had been burned near the compound of Targo.	10
12	33	The "skirt," too, in front and back, below the binding straps, or binding fiber, at least as permitted to Targo's girls, is quite short.	10
12	451	One wagon at a time, for a given interval, Targo permitted his girls, in wagon sets, to enjoy freedom of movement.	10
12	532	Then we heard one of Targo's guards calling us.	10
12	687	His men outnumbered those of Targo, considerably.	10
12	703	In Targo's gold they might have had interest but they would have to spend men to obtain it.	10
12	705	Targo, a rational man, and a brilliant slaver, had chosen to purchase his own life, and that of his men, and the safety of his gold, by the flight of the slave girls.	10
12	707	It was clear evidence that Targo had recognized the seriousness of his predicament, and the odds by which he was outnumbered and the probable result of continuing the engagement.	10
13	333	I had seen them as long ago as Targo's compound north of Laura.	10
13	804	Perhaps in Laura, near the compound of Targo! "Are you," I asked, trembling, "a hireling of Haakon of Skjern?" "No," he said.	10
13	956	"You are El-in-or," he said, "who was the slave of Targo, of the Village of Clearus, in the realm of Tor.	10
13	1031	Even when I had thought myself most free, after the escape from Targo, after betraying Ute, and escaping in the Ka-la-na thicket, this beast, with his laugh, his leather rope, and his slave collar, had been upon my trail.	10
13	1052	I moaned with misery, for suddenly I understood the foolishness of my fantasies in the pens of Ko-ro-ba, and in the caravan of Targo, that I would conquer, that I might, by the withholding of my favors, or the fervor of my favors, reduce a master to bondage, turning him into a needful slave desperat...	10
13	1173	"Why did you not buy me from Targo?" I inquired.	10
14	96	I had even been given a swallow of Ka-la-na wine, which exquisite beverage I had not tasted since the time of my capture, long ago, by Verna outside of Targo's compound.	10
15	143	After all, we had known one another for many months, and had been together, I recalled, from well before the time when Targo had first crossed the Laurius northward to the compound above the town of Laura.	10
15	323	"We met," said Verna, "first outside the compound of Targo the Slaver, north of Laura.	10
15	552	I had picked such berries before, with Targo's caravan.	10
15	603	I had done this sort of thing often before, when I had picked berries for Targo's caravans.	10
17	212	Among those I served were guards, formerly from the caravan of Targo.	10
17	216	Another was the one who had caught me, when I had fled from the hut in the forest, and returned me to Targo.	10
17	217	And there, too, were others, even he who had driven the slave wagon in which I had been often confined; even he who had first harnessed me to the tongue of Targo's one wagon, when I had first been captured by him.	10
17	218	After serving them completely I would press them with questions of Targo, and the other guards, and their slaves.	10
17	220	Targo had recovered many girls, and was now rich.	10
17	222	The men I served, Targo's men, and others, who might have me for the price of a cup of paga, I gave much pleasure, and from them, too, I received much pleasure.	10

16	171	"Targo will be returning from his tea," said the girl to her left.	10
16	179	"Targo is coming," whispered one of the girls, she closest on the left.	10
16	293	"I was having tea!" said the portly fellow in blue and yellow robes, Targo, who seemed to be Master.	10
16	295	"Unwatched, unguarded, I could have lost my entire stock!" said Targo.	10
16	297	"They are chained, and, besides, who would want them?" "You could keep a bota of paga here," said Targo.	10
16	303	"You have your pick of any of these!" expostulated Targo, waving his arms about, indicating the occupants of the shelf.	10
16	315	"Nothing," said Targo.	10
16	324	"How is it that I put up with him?" asked Targo.	10
16	327	Ellen gathered that Targo might be such that one might, with relative impunity, speak to him.	10
16	330	"What does it matter?" asked Targo.	10
16	333	"How many masters have you had?" asked Targo.	10
16	340	"Not all men are as forgiving, as understanding, as patient, as long-suffering, as kind, as Targo the Benevolent," he said.	10
16	429	As a slave, a meaningless slave! What a triumph for him! And yet I cannot deny that a part of me rejoiced to be so used, to be put to his unshared, unilateral pleasure! "Do you juice quickly?" asked Targo.	10
16	431	"Are you a tasty pudding?" asked Targo.	10
16	619	Are we not, fulfilled, in our collars, a thousand times more free than they? Kneeling, in position, chained by the left ankle to a ring, her throat enclosed in a heavy, clumsy, ringed, iron collar, on a cement sales shelf, before Targo, sensitive to her nudity, and miserable, she noted one and anoth...	10
16	632	Come for me, my Master, I beg you! "You may break position," said Targo, with a sigh.	10
16	634	"Master!" she called, for Targo had turned away.	10
16	651	"It is not clear to me," said Targo, "why he would have you in the first place".	10
16	653	"He would not sell me!" "I own you," said Targo.	10
16	655	"No!" "If you could read, I would show you the papers," said Targo.	10
16	659	"You are making a scene," said Targo, disapprovingly.	10
16	666	"He would not sell me!" "Be silent," said Targo.	10
16	668	"Return me to my master!" she cried, putting herself to her belly, pleading, in second obeisance position, before Targo.	10
16	669	"Barzak!" called Targo.	10
16	672	"Whip her," said Targo, turning away.	10
16	680	"Please do not have me beaten, Master!" she called out to Targo, over her shoulder, lying on her belly, on the cement, grasping the ring, but he had left the shelf.	10
16	724	"Who is Targo?" asked Ellen of the girl chained to the ring she still held.	10
16	725	"What place is this? Where am I?" The girl looked about but neither Targo nor Barzak were near the shelf, and the crowd, smaller now in the late afternoon, had its own concerns.	10
16	746	Too, in what new ways might we more please our masters? Might we not be pleasantly surprised by his response, if we were sometimes to kiss his body, pressing our soft lips upon him humbly, intimately, fervently, tenderly, beseechingly, through the cascade of our loosened hair? What a precious and gl...	10
16	751	Targo is poor.	10
16	760	"Does Targo, I mean, the master, have a Home Stone?" asked Ellen.	10
16	906	Targo, she supposed, would have rejoiced to have any one of them on his chain.	10
16	917	"So," said Targo, appearing from the right, as one would look out toward the market, "you are all in trouble".	10
16	919	"You shall not be fed tonight," said Targo.	10
16	921	"You are all too fat," said Targo.	10
16	923	"That has nothing to do with it," said Targo, "but, it is true, it will save some gruel".	10
16	925	"You are all too fat, and I am a poor man," said Targo.	10
16	926	Ellen supposed that Targo and Barzak might have been in the vicinity during the scene with the guardsmen, but, doubtless wisely, wishing to avoid further unpleasantness, if not actual danger, did not step forward and identify themselves.	10
16	934	"The torches are lit," said Targo.	10
16	941	"The light is not so good," said Targo.	10
16	947	"Go then," said Targo.	10
16	949	"Solicit rather in the crowd," said Targo.	10
16	951	"What is the name of the girl in the tavern?" asked Targo, shrewdly.	10
16	953	"A barbarian name," said Targo.	10
16	957	"Ladies," said Targo to his charges, "I can diminish your rations and add weights to your collars.	10
16	977	Targo came about the shelf and stood before Ellen, he on the ground, she on the shelf.	10
16	996	Shortly thereafter both Targo and Barzak disappeared into the crowd.	10
16	1184	"Ellen, if pleases Master," she said, "Ellen, the slave of Targo, dealer in slaves".	10
16	1211	"Only once, to my current master, Targo, dealer in slaves".	10
16	1240	"I have seen the shelf of Targo last week," he said.	10
16	1244	To be sure, Targo would have to make sales or go out of business.	10
16	1268	"Targo!" whispered Cotina.	10
16	1269	And through the crowd, from the right, came Targo, followed by Barzak, who had a figure with him, closely behind him, which he was pulling through the crowd by means of a tightly coiled, muchly shortened leash, his hand gripping it not six inches from the lock at its captive's neck, the figure of a ...	10
16	1271	"Targo does not seem pleased," warned Zara.	10
16	1277	The other girls, too, Targo approaching, began to appeal to the crowd, uttering the attraction call of the common girl for sale.	10
16	1288	What you have done to me! Targo she saw, to her dismay, was standing before her.	10
16	1294	"Ten copper tarsks were too much for you," said Targo.	10
16	1296	"You are begging for the leather, slave girl," said Targo.	10
16	1302	"I will do anything, Master!" "My patience is not inexhaustible," said Targo.	10
16	1306	"Behold, kind sir," said Targo, turning to a fellow nearby, "the loveliness of Cotina, the sweetness of her thighs, her well-turned ankles, and note Lydia, a beauty who might have been from the north, the only one so fair, with blond hair and blue eyes, on the shelf, and see delicious, cuddly Jasmin...	10
16	1314	"Cotina, stand, examination position!" snapped Targo.	10
16	1320	The fellow came to the surface of the shelf, climbing directly onto it, whereas Targo hurried about, to the side, went up by the steps, and joined him near Cotina.	10
16	1322	"Certainly not," said Targo, offended.	10
16	1325	"Wider!" "You do not think I would handle barbarians, do you?" asked Targo.	10
16	1326	"Yes?" said Targo, for another fellow had clambered to the surface of the shelf.	10
16	1328	"Certainly," said Targo.	10
16	1329	There was a sudden, sharp little cry from Lydia, as, Ellen supposed, some hair was drawn from her head to ascertain the veracity of Targo's asseveration.	10
16	1337	"Yes, she is vital," said Targo.	10
16	1372	The room had one occupant, doubtless the woman brought back by Barzak and Targo.	10
16	1410	She had been given bread and tea by Targo in the afternoon.	10
17	4	Targo was not much pleased with her.	10
17	6	On the morning of her second day in Targo's ownership, after his charges were coffled, and then freed from the neck-rings that held their heads so close to the floor, they had been permitted, in turn, the use of the wastes bucket, and then, afterward, fed and watered, on all fours, heads down, from ...	10
17	8	Targo had perhaps realized that miserable slaves with roughened skin, scarcely able to move, red and peeling, would have less sales appeal.	10
17	10	Too, as we have noted, Targo was not, all things considered, an unkind master.	10
17	45	Targo had come to the shelf, to assist a buyer who was examining Emris.	10
17	114	Targo came about the front of the shelf.	10
17	116	Immediately then she began to utter the allure-call to the crowd, "Buy me, Master!" "You are very inept," said Targo.	10
17	123	How could anyone expect her to do such things? But surely she did not wish to be again whipped! But happily Barzak was now not about, and Targo, too, was no longer in evidence.	10
17	138	Targo returned after a time, perhaps having had his tea.	10
17	140	Shortly after Targo had returned, a man, with a teen-aged boy with him, presumably his son, made his way through the crowd, toward the shelf.	10
17	142	"I specialize in barbarians," said Targo, "but, alas, I have only one on hand at the moment, lovely Ellen.	10
17	146	Do you mind if we look at this one?" "Certainly not," said Targo.	10
17	148	"This one is young," said Targo.	10
17	153	"Oh," said Targo.	10
17	157	Targo, she was sure, was ready to let her go at the drop of a copper tarsk.	10
17	198	"I think," said Targo, who had lingered about, and had now wandered back, hopefully, "that it is rather connected with a puberty ceremony, a primitive rite, like the facial scarring of the Wagon Peoples".	10
17	201	"Perhaps," granted Targo, generously, abandoning logic as socially inexpedient.	10
17	224	"That would be unthinkable," said Targo, righteously.	10
17	226	"Not at all," said Targo.	10
17	234	This little business was not Ellen's fault, or she supposed not, but Targo seemed miffed by it.	10
17	235	"You should have worked on both the father and the son," said Targo.	10
17	242	"You spend more time asking for forgiveness than you do in obeying," said Targo.	10
17	246	"Barzak!" called Targo.	10
17	250	"Barzak!" called Targo, again.	10
17	291	She looked up and saw Targo standing over her.	10
17	293	"Barzak informs me that you may not be the cold little thing we thought," said Targo.	10
17	314	Twice men had inspected and, at Targo's invitation, handled Ellen.	10
17	317	"So what is wrong with you?" had asked Targo when the prospective buyer had left the shelf.	10
17	320	When Targo left, she smiled to herself.	10
17	376	"Quiet, quiet, quiet!" called Targo, trying to settle his stock.	10
17	385	It thrust its large snout against Ellen's body, and under her arms, and between her thighs, and she screamed and twisted, and Targo told her to be quiet, and it licked her body, as though tasting her, and then drew its tongue back into the mouth, and then it moved about on the shelf, making its way ...	10
17	386	"Greetings, Targo," said a bearded fellow in a rough tunic.	10
17	396	"Have you business for me today, dear Targo?" inquired the fellow.	10
17	397	"Alas, no!" cried Targo.	10
17	408	"All of my girls are expensive," said Targo.	10
17	410	The fellow in the rough tunic, Torquatus, we may suppose, lifted his hand to Targo in salute, and left the vicinity of the shelf.	10
17	504	She wished, just before falling asleep, pulling a little at her bonds, that Targo had given her a blanket, or a mat.	10
17	569	Targo was standing nearby.	10
17	570	"I am prepared to let her go for as little as two silver tarsks," said Targo.	10
17	572	"One silver tarsk," said Targo.	10
17	574	"Did I missay myself earlier?" inquired Targo.	10
17	577	"Many could not tell her from a native Gorean girl," said Targo.	10
17	579	"I might let her go, if pressed," said Targo, "for a mere two silver tarsks".	10
17	581	"She speaks a fluent, beautiful Gorean," said Targo.	10
17	586	"But in spite of her youth delightfully curved, is she not?" asked Targo.	10
17	588	"Consider her curves," said Targo.	10
17	611	But that was not true! That was not true! She could not be like that! "I am prepared to let her go, against my better judgment," said Targo, "for only two silver tarsks".	10
17	613	"Try her," said Targo.	10
17	616	Targo frowned.	10
17	625	The man looked at Targo, puzzled.	10
17	626	"Cuff her," suggested Targo.	10
17	629	"A strong hand and a quick whip and she will writhe at a snapping of the fingers," said Targo.	10
17	631	"Touch her," said Targo.	10
17	645	"Yes," said Targo, angrily.	10
17	649	"She is a barbarian," said Targo.	10
17	665	"Freedom is trivial and meaningless," said Targo, "when all have freedom.	10
17	676	Then he looked at Targo.	10
17	678	"Of course," said Targo.	10
17	731	"Is it not, then, a word for "fool"?" asked Targo.	10
17	770	"Yes! Yes! That is it! Oh, thank you, Master! No! Don't stop! Don't stop! I beg for more! I beg for more!" "Who begs?" asked Targo.	10
17	780	"Yes, in time," agreed Targo.	10
17	785	She was scarcely aware that the man had left her side, and that Targo, too, was no longer on the shelf.	10
17	809	She moved her neck a bit, too, in her collar, that collar which was not the typical light, graceful slave collar, the attractive collar worn by most slave girls in the city, which might merely mark her as bond and identify her master, but the large, heavy, massive collar put by Targo on his properti...	10
17	817	Had Targo's women been permitted slave cosmetics, they would have run about their lips and eyes, and stained the shelf.	10
17	818	But Targo seldom wasted slave cosmetics on his properties, claiming the honesty of his wares, and the right of a buyer to understand clearly, and in all respects, the exact nature, pure, raw and simple, of the goods he proffered.	10
17	871	Targo was not much pleased with her.	10
17	876	An Ahn later, which is something more than an hour, she whispered to Targo, who passed, "I am thirsty, Master".	10
17	885	But a bit later Targo had Barzak water his stock.	10
17	898	Ellen was pleased that Targo, apparently, had received a good price for Emris.	10
17	914	"You should have been sold by now," snapped Targo.	10
17	919	Ellen did so, while Targo regarded her.	10
17	922	But Targo did not know what the new serums had done, it seemed, and would take her at face value, as no more than a young, pretty barbarian.	10
17	928	"Barzak!" called Targo.	10
17	932	"Ahh!" said Targo.	10
17	933	"Yes, very nice!" She felt Targo's hands on her sides, and then at her waist, and then moving down the sides of her derrière and thighs "Good," he said.	10
17	995	"Do not turn about," said Targo.	10
17	1006	Remove our iron," said Targo.	10
17	1043	"See that she serves you with the fullness of a slave's perfection," said Targo.	10
17	1048	She knew that, as a Gorean slave girl, she must serve her masters not only well, but, as Targo had said, with the fullness of a slave's perfection.	10
18	129	That had been established even before she had been purchased from the shelf of Targo.	10
18	355	What could she expect, here? She had not even been the best meat on Targo's shelf.	10
20	928	This was, we may remember, the price for which Mirus had allegedly sold her to Targo.	10
20	929	It was not much, but it was surely something, and Targo, a professional slaver, had paid it, and so, doubtless, had hoped to make a profit on her, perhaps of as much as five tarsks.	10
20	996	Had she not seen herself in mirrors? But very beautiful—and by Gorean standards? Surely she could not have so changed, from the shelf of Targo in Ar.	10
20	1004	Could they resent me, perhaps for my beauty? Might they be jealous of me? Could I have changed so much, from the shelf of Targo? But beauty was for the men to decide.	10
22	321	This was far better, thought Ellen, than the cruel, cement shelf, boiling in the sunlight, on which Targo had exhibited her, a shelf to which buyers were free to ascend and handle the merchandise, and were even encouraged to do so.	10
22	477	Did she not know her beauty was public? Had she not learned that, forcibly and clearly, in the Kettle Market in Ar, on Targo's sales shelf? It seemed she was being regarded as a mere, interesting, sleek animal, perhaps as a very special sort of tarsk or kaiila.	10
24	307	Ellen had been sold from the shelf of Targo without the benefit of cosmetics, of course.	10
27	246	Someone wants me! Someone thinks I am of interest! Indeed, it had been Portus Canio who had bought her off the shelf of Targo in Ar, in the Kettle Market! She stole a glance at Selius Arconious.	10
27	378	It was a scent she had experienced once before, on Targo's sales shelf in the Kettle Market, though then it had been so suddenly, so unexpectedly, upon her, almost stifling, almost overwhelming, so hot, so suddenly close and terrible.	10
27	1340	She remembered incidents in the house of Mirus, many in her training, her sometimes almost hysterical despair of ever being able to please her instructors, their impatience with her, her deferent and lengthy serving of formally clad diners, she naked and in a collar, her abuse at the hands of Mirus,...	10
