"You are Tasdron, a captain in the fee of Samos". |
10 |
| 10 | 201 |
I, with Ram and Imnak, and Tasdron, who had been the captain in the fee of Samos, he whose ship had been lost to the tarnsmen, shouldered one of the logs. |
10 |
| 10 | 278 |
"Tasdron," said I, "would you like a new ship?" "I would fit it to fight tarnsmen," said he. |
10 |
| 10 | 305 |
He released me, and then himself, and then gave the keys to Tasdron. |

In the Tavern of Tasdron Men Meet in Secret "Withdraw, Slave," said Tasdron, proprietor of the tavern of Tasdron, in Victoria, off the avenue of Lycurgus. |
10 |

"And here is Tasdron, is it not, who testified on your behalf?" "It is," said Tasdron. |

I Have a Close Call in the Tavern of Tasdron; I Hurry to the Sales Barn of Lysander "Are there any more challengers?" I asked, wiping the sweat and sand from my face with my forearm. |
10 |
| 8 | 2 |
I had tallied my resources, prior to coming to the tavern of Tasdron, off the avenue of Lycurgus, and found them to amount to only seventy copper tarsks, including five tarsks which I had happily, and unexpectedly, received, the captain being a good fellow, for acting as an oarsman from Fina to the ... |

"Kind Sirs, no!" called out Tasdron, the tavern's proprietor. |
10 |
| 8 | 31 |
"The combat, as has been made clear," said Tasdron, his voice shaking, "is to be unarmed". |
10 |
| 8 | 37 |
"Run," whispered Tasdron. |
10 |
| 8 | 57 |
"He is new in Victoria," said Tasdron, desperately. |
10 |
| 8 | 59 |
Let him live!" But the fellow did not even glance at Tasdron. |
10 |
| 8 | 99 |
"Paga, paga for all!" called Tasdron. |
10 |
| 8 | 103 |
Tasdron, too, clapped his hands twice and a dancing slave, portions of her body painted, ran to the sand. |
10 |
| 8 | 155 |
"The fellow who threatened me," I said to Tasdron, the proprietor of the tavern, "he called Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 8 | 156 |
Who is he?" "He is Kliomenes, the pirate, lieutenant to Policrates," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 8 | 157 |
"And the other," I asked, "he who was standing by the table, speaking to the man who saved me?" "His captain," said Tasdron, "Policrates himself". |
10 |
| 8 | 159 |
"You are fortunate to be alive," said Tasdron. |

Peggy "I will use the one in that alcove," I said to Tasdron, flinging down a tarsk bit on the stained counter. |
10 |
| 11 | 2 |
"She is yours," said Tasdron, wiping a paga goblet with a large, soft cloth. |
10 |
| 11 | 3 |
I strode across the floor of the tavern of Tasdron and entered the alcove. |
10 |
| 11 | 12 |
Tasdron's collar was on her throat. |
10 |
| 11 | 106 |
Tasdron saw me there and fancied me. |
10 |
| 11 | 297 |
"Tasdron had me for a silver tarsk," she said. |
10 |
| 11 | 300 |
"I am better now," she said, "than when Tasdron bought me. |
10 |
| 11 | 418 |
"Tasdron taught me," she said. |
10 |
| 11 | 420 |
I could well imagine Tasdron teaching her and she, knowing him her legal master, desperately striving to learn. |
10 |

My favorite, on the whole, I believe, remained the tavern of Tasdron. |
10 |
| 18 | 4 |
"I vouch for him," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 18 | 7 |
When I had emerged from the tavern of Tasdron I had been suddenly surrounded by guardsmen in the livery of Port Cos. |
10 |
| 18 | 28 |
* * * * "I vouch for him," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 18 | 32 |
"From the east, from Lara, as I understand it," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 18 | 34 |
"In my own tavern," said Tasdron, "he had difficulty with Kliomenes, the pirate. |
10 |
| 18 | 40 |
"Is there any reason to suppose that that is true?" inquired Tasdron. |
10 |
| 18 | 42 |
"I see," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 18 | 44 |
"Doubtless you have searched his compartments," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 18 | 47 |
"What did you find?" asked Tasdron. |
10 |
| 18 | 49 |
"Does the woman seem well disposed towards him?" asked Tasdron. |
10 |
| 18 | 51 |
"And does she seem interested in the reward for information leading to the acquisition of the topaz?" asked Tasdron. |
10 |
| 18 | 54 |
"Ten silver tarsks is a considerable sum," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 18 | 60 |
"My thanks, Tasdron," I said to him, "for your helpful words". |
10 |
| 19 | 110 |
"At night," said I, "he often drinks at the tavern of Tasdron. |
10 |
| 20 | 77 |
I remembered the tavern of Tasdron. |
10 |
| 21 | 50 |
"Tasdron spoke of it in the tavern to free men," she said, "and I, and other slaves, overheard him speak". |
10 |
| 21 | 131 |
"I do fear the whip," she said, "and I know that it will be well laid upon me at the merest suspicion on the part of Tasdron, my Master, that a customer may not have been fully pleased, but even if it were not for the whip, I know I could not help but respond to you as a vulnerable and spasmodic sla... |
10 |
| 21 | 255 |
"He might be offended, and slay me, or Tasdron, my master, discovering my crime, might slay me, for my insolence". |
10 |
| 21 | 403 |
"Do not go," advised Tasdron. |

What Occurred at the Wharves; What Occurred in the Vicinity of the Tavern of Tasdron "Stand back, lest you be hurt!" cried a man. |
10 |
| 22 | 183 |
I began to walk slowly back toward the tavern of Tasdron. |
10 |
| 22 | 214 |
"Surely you, and the others, from the tavern of Tasdron, did not fail to hear the alarm?" "There is no business of mine at the wharves," he said. |
10 |
| 22 | 251 |
"Once," said I, "in the tavern of Tasdron you saved my life. |
10 |
| 22 | 314 |
I turned away from him and walked up the street, to the tavern of Tasdron, which was still open, though much subdued. |
10 |
| 25 | 24 |
Accordingly she could be to him little more than any other slave, only another girl, self-effacing, deferential, scarcely noticed, who served him in the establishment of her master, Tasdron of Victoria. |
10 |
| 25 | 25 |
In spite of her beauty and his frequent use of the tavern of Tasdron he had never ordered her, whip in hand, to strip and hurry to an alcove for his pleasure. |
10 |
| 25 | 28 |
It was in connection with such works that we had met this night in the tavern of Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 29 |
"You understand," said Tasdron, "that it is dangerous for me even to be a party to these matters". |
10 |
| 25 | 33 |
"That is understood, Tasdron," said Callimachus. |
10 |
| 25 | 35 |
"But there is surely," said Tasdron, "much greater danger for you". |
10 |
| 25 | 37 |
"I, too, then," said Tasdron, "will do no less". |
10 |
| 25 | 40 |
We sat about a small table in a back room in Tasdron's tavern. |
10 |
| 25 | 52 |
"He must come in disguise," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 58 |
"Have you made inquiries among those of Victoria?" asked Callimachus of Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 59 |
"Is there support for our work in the town?" "I have with circumspection made these inquiries," said Tasdron, dourly, "but I fear there is little support in this place for such dangerous labors". |
10 |
| 25 | 61 |
"None," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 69 |
"Surely it has not escaped your attention," smiled Tasdron, "that Cos and Ar are currently at war". |
10 |
| 25 | 72 |
"Those of Port Cos and Ar's Station would sooner cut one another's throats than share wine in Victoria," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 74 |
"Ar's Station is, in effect, an outpost of Ar," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 77 |
"Indeed," said Tasdron, thoughtfully, "they have studiously avoided one another". |
10 |
| 25 | 79 |
"That is true," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 81 |
"True," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 83 |
"Perhaps," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 85 |
"This may be true," said Tasdron, "but surely it is nothing they could admit openly". |
10 |
| 25 | 89 |
"And what will you do when they learn of this matter?" asked Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 91 |
"I trust that you will be successful," said Tasdron, glumly. |
10 |
| 25 | 94 |
Tasdron shuddered. |
10 |
| 25 | 103 |
"Peggy," said Tasdron, raising his voice. |
10 |
| 25 | 111 |
"And to me, too," said Tasdron, "and, too, bring forth some cheese and dates". |
10 |
| 25 | 113 |
"Do Masters desire drink?" Tasdron looked at Callimachus. |
10 |
| 25 | 117 |
"Black wine," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 119 |
"It is just as well not to have paga this night," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 121 |
"Do you fear it?" asked Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 124 |
"I would have thought you feared nothing," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 135 |
"It was evidence brought against Callisthenes in Port Cos five years ago by Callimachus," said Tasdron, "which cost him an early promotion, a matter of minor peculation". |
10 |
| 25 | 140 |
Indeed, how can one practice honor in great things, if not in small things? "And later," said Tasdron, "it was the testimonies of Callisthenes which resulted in Callimachus' loss of command". |
10 |
| 25 | 145 |
"Be these things as they may," said Tasdron, "they surely do not bode well for the future of our plans". |
10 |
| 25 | 148 |
"Nonsense," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 152 |
"What do you know of Aemilianus of Ar's Station?" I asked Callimachus and Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 153 |
"Victoria is closer to Port Cos than Ar's Station," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 160 |
"Particularly in my tavern," grumbled Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 162 |
"How can we contact this Aemilianus, and bring him to this meeting, without attracting the attention of the spies of Policrates?" "We have no choice, I think," said Tasdron, "but to contact him directly and take what risks are unavoidable". |
10 |
| 25 | 165 |
"He will doubtless demand that the meeting be held in his headquarters," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 168 |
"I do not understand," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 170 |
"To find the topaz," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 172 |
"What?" said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 174 |
"Surely," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 179 |
"I understand," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 190 |
"Leave the tray where it is," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 203 |
"Excellent," said Tasdron, "excellent," and he rose from the table, letting himself out of the room with a key, by means of a side door, one which led up a flight of stairs, presumably to private compartments. |
10 |
| 25 | 208 |
Tasdron crouched beside her left ankle and, with his key, removed the slave bells from her left ankle. |
10 |
| 25 | 217 |
Tasdron then, with a key, removed his collar from her throat. |
10 |
| 25 | 223 |
"An excellent idea," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 226 |
"I do not think many will," said Tasdron, "and if some do, they will simply assume that she has been put into the streets for discipline". |
10 |
| 25 | 235 |
"It may work," said Tasdron, regarding the slave. |
10 |
| 25 | 239 |
"She is pretty, isn't she?" said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 243 |
Tasdron then took the girl by an arm and thrust her toward a rear door, before which he stopped, the girl then standing beside him, to unlock it. |
10 |
| 25 | 248 |
Tasdron then had the door open, and he took her again by the arm. |
10 |
| 25 | 252 |
"Yes, Master," she whispered, and then Tasdron, by her arm, half dragging her, pulled her through the door and down the corridor toward the alley door. |
10 |
| 25 | 256 |
Tasdron closed the door and resecured it. |
10 |
| 25 | 257 |
"Do you think she will be successful?" asked Callimachus of Tasdron, when he had returned to the room. |
10 |
| 25 | 258 |
"She is a slave," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 25 | 263 |
"I, too," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 26 | 7 |
It was the eighteenth Ahn, two Ahn before the twentieth Ahn, the Gorean midnight, when we would hold our secret meeting in the back room of Tasdron's tavern. |
10 |
| 26 | 8 |
I had finished my supper in the room and had, leaving Callimachus and Tasdron in conversation, emerged through the now-opened door into the main room of the tavern. |
10 |
| 26 | 12 |
In Tasdron's paga tavern, as in many, along one wall, there is a set of slave rings, to which one may chain or tie one's slaves while drinking or dining in the tavern. |
10 |
| 28 | 1 |
Two Captains Come to the Tavern of Tasdron; We Prevent Bloodshed "It is the second Ahn," said Callimachus. |
10 |
| 28 | 3 |
Peggy knelt with her head to the feet of Tasdron, her master. |
10 |
| 28 | 6 |
I lifted up the chain and Tasdron put his collar again on her neck. |
10 |
| 28 | 7 |
"Did you do as Jason told you?" asked Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 8 |
"Yes, Master," she said, her neck now again locked in Tasdron's collar. |
10 |
| 28 | 12 |
"Yes," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 15 |
"You yourself," said Tasdron, "did not return until the first Ahn". |
10 |
| 28 | 17 |
"Why?" asked Tasdron, not pleasantly. |
10 |
| 28 | 30 |
"Did he pay his coin?" asked Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 32 |
"Did you please your customers?" asked Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 34 |
"Did you yield to them," asked Tasdron, "to Aemilianus, and the others?" "Please do not make me speak, Master," she begged. |
10 |
| 28 | 36 |
"Speak, Slave," snapped Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 42 |
I am only a slave girl!" She seemed to speak to Tasdron, but I knew well for whom her words were intended. |
10 |
| 28 | 43 |
"I do not understand," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 48 |
"Of course," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 59 |
"At least Aemilianus knows how to handle a woman," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 62 |
There was a sound of bells, and Tasdron had again locked slave bells on Peggy's left ankle. |
10 |
| 28 | 70 |
"Bring us food and drink," said Tasdron to Peggy. |
10 |
| 28 | 72 |
"Where is Glyco?" asked Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 77 |
"Perhaps they have met with foul play," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 79 |
"Spies are everywhere," said Tasdron, miserably. |
10 |
| 28 | 82 |
"Oh, excellent," said Tasdron, irritatedly. |
10 |
| 28 | 84 |
"You understand the dangers implicit in these endeavors, do you not?" inquired Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 87 |
Tasdron hurried through the rear door of the room, and down the corridor, to the alley door. |
10 |
| 28 | 92 |
I had been released after the testimonies afforded by Tasdron, who had made it clear to him that I, well known in Victoria, and having arrived from the east on the river, could not be the courier of Ragnar Voskjard. |
10 |
| 28 | 122 |
"We used to drink together," said Callimachus to Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 124 |
"A noble act," said Tasdron to Callimachus. |
10 |
| 28 | 144 |
"I would have been here earlier," said Glyco to Tasdron, "but I could not readily find Callisthenes". |
10 |
| 28 | 146 |
"Your shoulder," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 149 |
"Is there anything we can do for you?" inquired Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 160 |
"Enter," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 163 |
"Serve," said Tasdron to her. |
10 |
| 28 | 165 |
"Sit," invited Tasdron, and we took places about the low table, sitting about it, cross-legged. |
10 |
| 28 | 178 |
"She is an Earth girl," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 181 |
"We will need another cup, for our friend," said Tasdron, "and yet another, for our other guest, who has not yet arrived". |
10 |
| 28 | 183 |
"I trust," said Tasdron, looking at his slave, "that he will arrive". |
10 |
| 28 | 191 |
"But an Earth girl," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 193 |
"That has been my experience," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 204 |
"Yes," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 206 |
"On Earth," said Tasdron, "such women are free". |
10 |
| 28 | 209 |
"Here," said Tasdron, "they have their uses—in the collar". |
10 |
| 28 | 221 |
Tasdron rose to his feet and went through the door, and down the corridor to the alley door. |
10 |
| 28 | 223 |
In a moment Tasdron had reappeared in the room. |
10 |
| 28 | 224 |
"Enter," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 238 |
"Who is he?" inquired Callisthenes of Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 243 |
"We are all folk met in the throes of a common plight," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 244 |
"Who is he?" asked the newcomer, of Tasdron, nodding toward Callisthenes. |
10 |
| 28 | 247 |
Tasdron sighed audibly. |
10 |
| 28 | 252 |
"Yes," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 254 |
"Yes," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 258 |
"Was she good?" asked Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 264 |
"That we may be of mutual assistance in a project of great common interest," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 266 |
"Who is he?" asked Callisthenes, menacingly, of Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 270 |
"Let us be patient," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 296 |
"She was merely the instrument wherewith we extended our invitation," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 303 |
"Jason and I," said Tasdron, "are of Victoria. |
10 |
| 28 | 306 |
It interested me that Tasdron had, without even thinking about it, spoken of me as of Victoria. |
10 |
| 28 | 314 |
"You are not in danger," said Tasdron, "or, at least, in no greater danger than the rest of us". |
10 |
| 28 | 320 |
She looked wildly to Tasdron, her master, and, interestingly, to Callimachus. |
10 |
| 28 | 321 |
She looked to Tasdron, of course, because he was her legal master, her owner. |
10 |
| 28 | 323 |
"Do so," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 329 |
I saw Tasdron smile. |
10 |
| 28 | 345 |
"Come and sit at the table," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 348 |
"Fix your silk," said Tasdron to Peggy, "and go to the side of the room. |
10 |
| 28 | 352 |
"Do you wish her, instead, to remove her silk, and to lick and kiss you, and serve you, as we eat and talk," inquired Tasdron of Aemilianus. |
10 |
| 28 | 358 |
"I do not think that would be wise," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 360 |
"That is best," admitted Tasdron, "for there are serious things of which to speak". |
10 |
| 28 | 366 |
"Very little," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 368 |
"Of course," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 28 | 373 |
"Speak softly," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 29 | 15 |
Glyco and Tasdron, too, neither of whom could be taken as rash fellows, had been taken by the plan. |
10 |
| 29 | 34 |
I had not heard of it in Victoria, nor had Callimachus or Tasdron. |
10 |
| 29 | 39 |
"It would also allow Port Cos to control traffic on the river from the west," pointed out Tasdron, irritably. |
10 |
| 29 | 44 |
"That is certain," said Tasdron. |
10 |
| 29 | 52 |
"That is true," said Tasdron, hurriedly. |
10 |
| 29 | 93 |
"How then," he asked the others, "in so great a matter, can I trust him?" "You must do so," urged Tasdron. |
10 |
| 29 | 102 |
Twice I had been demeaned by pirates, once in the tavern of Tasdron, and once in the Pirate's Chain, the tavern of Hibron. |
10 |
| 29 | 130 |
"Our projects are doomed," moaned Tasdron. |
10 |
| 29 | 152 |
"We know," said Tasdron, "that the topaz was brought to Victoria. |
10 |
| 29 | 226 |
Tasdron had arranged them in Victoria, on the pretense of fetching a consignment of Sa-Tarna from Siba, to be brought to the Brewery of Lucian, near Fina, east of Victoria, with which brewery he occasionally did business. |
10 |
| 30 | 40 |
"You are involved in the conspiracy of Tasdron, taverner of Victoria, who is in league with Glyco, of Port Cos," said Policrates. |
10 |
| 30 | 67 |
"Perhaps Tasdron himself," said Policrates, "perhaps even Glyco, posing as of your party. |
10 |
| 30 | 168 |
"Which, further," said Policrates, "has assured us that the true courier was captured, and is now being held by those in league with Tasdron and Glyco". |
10 |
| 30 | 175 |
He could always maintain later that he had managed to escape from Tasdron's confinement. |
10 |
| 32 | 71 |
I had suggested my reservations concerning traveling on the river in these troubled times to Florence, when I had spoken to her in the tavern of Tasdron. |
10 |
| 32 | 131 |
"I should have slain you long ago, in the tavern of Tasdron, in Victoria," said Kliomenes. |
10 |
| 33 | 20 |
"It was the Earth-girl slave, Peggy, Tasdron's property, who betrayed us," I said. |
10 |
| 33 | 31 |
