2	187	"Some think that such men in time become Priest-Kings themselves.	10
3	72	On the other hand, the High Castes, specifically the Warriors, Builders, Scribes, Initiates, and Physicians, were told the truth in such matters, perhaps because it was thought they would eventually determine it for themselves, from observations such as the shadow of their planet on one or another o...	10
3	195	A possible hypothesis to explain this is that the Priest-Kings may have wished war to be a biologically selective process in which the weaker and slower perish and fail to reproduce themselves.	10
3	209	I had begun to dream in Gorean and to understand easily the small talk of my teachers among themselves when they were speaking for one another and not for the ears of an outlander.	10
4	81	For themselves, particularly among the Lower Castes, they often have a real name and what is called a use-name.	10
4	122	It was impossible to conceive of them as other than they had been, but somewhere they, too, must be awakening painfully, struggling to their feet, needing to clean themselves.	10
5	47	Any attempt on the Home Stone was regarded by the citizens of a city as sacrilege of the most heinous variety and punishable by the most painful of deaths, but, paradoxically, it was regarded as the greatest of glories to purloin the Home Stone of another city, and the warrior who managed this was a...	10

9	114	"Now, while the men of Ar fight among themselves for the cylinders, an army is gathering from fifty cities, massing on the banks of the Vosk to invade Ar.	10
10	111	In the evening the strap-masters and warriors would amuse themselves with stories and songs, recounting their exploits, fictitious and otherwise, and bawling out their raucous harmonies under the influence of paga.	10
11	59	How many of the women of my native planet, I wondered, did not with care consider the finances, the property of their prospective mates? How many of them did not, for all practical purposes, sell themselves, bartering their bodies for the goods of the world? Here on Gor, however, I observed ironical...	10
12	89	Far below, I could see that the burned, dead Margin of Desolation was dotted here and there with patches of green, where some handfuls of seed had blindly asserted themselves, reclaiming something of that devastated country for life and growth.	10
13	41	As it is, when the larl loses its hunt, the animals which escape are those which haven't tried to break the circle, those which allow themselves to be herded easily.	10
13	74	As an act of charity, Initiates have arranged at various places Dar-Kosis Pits where the Afflicted may voluntarily imprison themselves, to be fed with food hurled downward from the backs of passing tarns.	10
16	41	These towers were fortresses in themselves and would be maintained at all costs; hour in and hour out, they would continue their work, gnawing at the walls.	10
17	32	This man claimed to be the Supreme Initiate of all Initiates on Gor and to take his appointment from the Priest-Kings themselves.	10
17	33	Needless to say, his claim was not acknowledged by the Chief Initiates of Gor's free cities, who regarded themselves as sovereign in their own cities.	10
17	43	The first condition for their surrender was that Pa-Kur grant a general amnesty for themselves and their temples.	10
17	110	It would buy one of the great birds themselves, or as many as five slave girls.	10
18	68	In what seemed like an hour, but must have been no more than three or four minutes, I was behind the camp of Pa-Kur and searching for the dreaded Dar-Kosis Pits, those prisons in which the Afflicted may freely incarcerate themselves and be fed, but from which they are not allowed to depart.	10
19	48	The Initiates themselves do not execute their victims, as the shedding of blood is forbidden by those beliefs they regard as sacred.	10
19	73	Almost as if by magic, the men of Ar had separated themselves from the others on the cylinder.	10
19	125	The men of Ar were outnumbered perhaps three to one, but I knew they would give a good account of themselves.	10

Book 2. (26 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
22	175	In a city such as Tharna the men, taught to regard themselves as beasts, as inferior beings, seldom develop the full respect for themselves essential to true manhood.	10
22	177	Although they despise men and congratulate themselves on their more lofty status it seems to me that they, too, fail to respect themselves.	10
2	47	And this perhaps makes them love their cities the more, for they know that their city, like themselves, is subject to mortal termination.	10
3	13	Here and there swarms of night insects began to stir, lifting themselves under the leaves of bushes by the road.	10
3	79	"The Priest-Kings themselves," I said, "could not ask for more".	10
3	92	Members of low castes often call themselves by a use-name, reserving the real name for intimates and friends, to protect it against capture by a sorcerer or worker of spells who might use it to do them harm.	10
5	21	In the next flash of lightning I saw the white robes of an Initiate, the shaven head and the sad eyes of one of the Blessed Caste, servants it is said of the Priest-Kings themselves.	10
9	89	I did not know if they were weak, or if they merely thought poorly of themselves.	10
10	62	It was a giant urt, fat, sleek and white; it bared its three rows of needlelike white teeth at me and squealed in anger; two horns, tusks like flat crescents curved from its jaw; another two horns, similar to the first, modifications of the bony tissue forming the upper ridge of the eye socket, prot...	10
13	32	Some seemed to be conversing among themselves, perhaps laying wagers of one sort or another, but most sat still on the stone benches, glum and silent in their gray robes, their thoughts not easily read.	10
13	71	Soon the stands themselves seemed to ring with the cry.	10
15	42	Her tarnsmen might be mercenaries, or perhaps men like Thorn, Captain of Tharna, who in spite of their city thought well of themselves and maintained at least the shreds of caste pride.	10
17	18	I was not surprised then that the prisoners themselves looked with horror upon the very thought of resistance.	10
17	72	These mines are tortuous networks of tunnels worming themselves inch by inch irregularly through the rich ores that are the foundation of the wealth of the city.	10
18	69	Here, underground, in the mines, home of that which was lowest and most degraded in Tharna, men came to look upon one another, and themselves, with satisfaction.	10
19	57	This was done as if by plan and yet I knew that it was the spontaneous action of men who had come to respect themselves, the men of the mines of Tharna.	10
19	159	I knew then as I knew now that I would go instead to the Sardar Mountains, that I would enter them and seek the Priest-Kings themselves.	10
20	63	But so far there has been no military victory of Ar over other cities and, accordingly, free of the sword, the Initiates of each city regard themselves as supreme within their own walls.	10
21	84	After all, did a slave not expect the iron? And the whip? I saw the other girls some thirty yards away, in camisks, the cheapest of slave garments, laughing and talking to one another, disporting themselves as pleasurably as free maidens might have.	10
22	167	Yet as the status of these women became more ennobled and less clearly defined the subtle tensions of dominance and submission, instinctual throughout the animal world, tended to assert themselves.	10
22	178	Hating their men, they hate themselves.	10
23	101	The sorties of tarnsmen were more successful, but on the whole the slave bands, now almost regiments, moved only at night and concealed themselves during the day.	10
24	34	It might have been to them food from the tables of the Priest-Kings themselves.	10
25	76	I clung to the neck to avoid the snapping jaws, those three rows of sharp, frenzied white lacerating teeth that sought to bury themselves in my flesh.	10
26	26	Most of the silver masks however, when it was understood their battle had been lost and the laws of Tharna were irrevocably shattered, came of their own free will into the streets and submitted themselves in the traditional fashion of the captive Gorean female, kneeling, lowering the head, and lifti...	10
26	70	In effect, considering the temper of the men of Tharna, Lara's judgment gives the silver masks the opportunity, for a time, to choose a master, or after that time to be themselves chosen as a slave girl.	10

Book 3. (42 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
13	4	If the scent-dots were themselves not scented one might be tempted to think of them as graphemes in the language of the Priest-Kings, but since they themselves are scented they are best construed as analogous to uttered phonemes or phoneme combinations, direct expressions of the oral syllabary of th...	10
1	64	Such contests, in which life is lost, used to be popular at Ar, for example, being sponsored in that city by the Caste of Initiates, who regard themselves as being intermediaries between Priest-Kings and men, though I suspect that, at least on the whole, they know as little about the Priest-Kings as...	10
2	29	Now their bodies humped with pain, clenching themselves against the spokes.	10
3	1	Parp There was a sudden startled rattle of chains and I saw two huge, white larls frozen in the momentary paralysis of registering my presence, and then with but an instant's fleeting passage both beasts turned upon me and hurled themselves enraged to the lengths of their chains.	10
10	78	"They are timid creatures," said the Priest-King, "and I am afraid they have never been able to accustom themselves to the sight of your kind".	10
11	6	The Priest-Kings themselves distinguish one another by scent but I, of course, would do so by eye.	10
11	32	This may become more comprehensible when it is mentioned that Priest-Kings, with their cleaning hooks, their jaws and their tongues, often groom one another as well as themselves.	10
12	70	When they disengaged themselves, Sarm turned to face me.	10
12	85	Hardly had his delicate foot touched the button than a panel slid aside and two handsome men, of the most symmetrical form and features with shaven heads and clad in the purple, plastic tunics of slaves, entered the room and prostrated themselves before the dais.	10
12	133	Sarm's antennae shivered and wrapped themselves about one another.	10
12	147	"And," said Sarm, "they live on fungus and water, and wash themselves twelve times a day".	10
13	110	"Yes," said the other, "and they are fond of it, and are themselves creatures of great reverence for tradition".	10
14	77	The Mul-Fungus, as far as I can tell, is not much different from the fungus, raised under ideal conditions from specially selected spores, which graces the feed troughs of the Priest-Kings themselves, a tiny sample of which was once given me by Misk.	10
16	37	It is better for observing their variations, from the scientific point of view, and it is safer for us if they remain disunited, for being rational they might develop a science, and being subrational it might be dangerous for us and for themselves if they did so".	10
16	165	"A hundred men," said Misk, "allowed themselves to be chained to the foot of her couch where she would upon occasion, that they might not die, cast them scraps of food as though they might have been pet sleen".	10
17	110	Accordingly with humans themselves so plentiful the construction of such a device would be nothing but an irrational misuse of our resources".	10
18	100	Briefly the antennae flattened themselves on his head and the bladelike projections snapped into view, and then the antennae raised and the bladelike projections disappeared.	10
18	137	He turned to me and the antennae lowered themselves toward me, the slender, golden hairs on the antennae slightly oscillating.	10
20	87	The attendants now busied themselves with their work.	10
20	190	"See how he uses the instincts of humans against themselves," he said to his companion.	10
20	235	The two Muls looked at me for a long time, and at themselves, and at me again, and seemed to reach some sort of accord.	10
27	147	For a long moment the antennae of the two Priest-Kings regarded one another and then Sarm's antennae flattened themselves over his head and so, too, did Misk's.	10
27	158	Misk seemed stunned and slow, his head dropped and the antennae seemed to flutter, exposing themselves.	10
27	215	The golden disks on his great globular head seemed to flicker and they fastened themselves upon me.	10
27	225	His antennae flattened themselves over his head.	10
27	348	The old antennae stretched forward, inching themselves toward me and I took them gently in my hands and held them.	10
28	12	The Muls, I supposed, terrified and confused, had scattered and hidden themselves in their cases, living on their fungus and water, while over their heads hissed the weapons of their masters.	10
28	149	Misk looked on in wonder as these men presented themselves to me and marched past.	10
28	176	It unnerved the Priest-Kings to pass unknowingly within feet of, say, a pale, agile fellow from the Fungus Chambers, who might be crouching in a nearby ventilator shaft with a heat torch, who might have burned their antennae for them if he had pleased; or to suddenly find themselves surrounded by a ...	10
28	222	There were no propellers or jets or rockets and I find it difficult to understand or explain the drive save that it used the forces of gravity against themselves in such a way that the amount, if one may use so inept an expression, of gravitational Ur, which is the Gorean expression for the gravitat...	10
30	55	I conceded the point in silence, amazed at the restorative powers of Priest-Kings, those redoubtable golden foes against which mere men had dared to pit themselves.	10
30	74	The Priest-Kings themselves said nothing, explained nothing, to their dumbfounded human companions but merely laid aside their weapons and approached the Beetles.	10
30	80	Oddly enough, to human thinking, neither Misk nor Sarm would permit their humans to slay the Beetles, for Priest-Kings, for a reason which I will later relate, find themselves normally unwilling to slay or order the destruction of the dangerous, fused-winged creatures.	10
30	168	The latter, of course, terrified, bewildered, would be of little service themselves, but they were offered as inducements to the males of Misk's forces to encourage their desertion; the girls were, so to speak, a bounty for treachery, and since the beauty of Chamber Slaves was well known in the Nest...	10
30	186	The most remarkable event was a delegation of Sarm's Priest-Kings, led by Kusk himself, who surrendered to Misk, pledging themselves to his cause.	10
32	89	To one side, high in the domed wall some energy bulbs burst, emitting a cascade of sparks that looped downwards burning themselves out before striking the floor.	10
33	14	Even from where we stood I could smell the innumerable fires of their sacrifices, the burning flesh of bosks, smell the heady fumes of the incense they burned in brass censers swinging on chains, hear the repetitious litanies of their pleas, observe their continual prostrations and grovelings by whi...	10
33	64	Then he began to mumble prayers very quickly in archaic Gorean, a language in which the Initiates converse among themselves and conduct their various ceremonies.	10
33	67	I knew that the High Initiate of Ar, following the policies of the High Initiate before him, wished to claim hegemony over all other Initiates, and claimed to possess this already, but his claim, of course, was denied by the other High Initiates who regarded themselves as supreme in their own cities...	10
35	20	The antennae, whipped by the wind, focused themselves.	10
35	36	In the end, those humans who wished to remain on the surface had landed elsewhere, far from their native cities, and scattered themselves as vagabonds about the roads and alien cities of the planet.	10
35	127	If I should attempt to help Misk, what would this mean, ultimately? Would it not be to surrender my race to the mercies of the people of Sarm and the Priest-Kings who had served him, or would it be ultimately to protect my race until it had learned to live with itself, until it had reached the matur...	10

2	89	I suspected that this might be due to the hostilities and bickerings of the peoples among themselves; where people did not wish to unite, where they relished their autonomy, where they nursed old grievances and sang the glories of vengeance raids, where they considered all others, even those of the ...	10
9	17	Indeed, secretly among themselves, I have heard, they regard themselves as the highest caste on Gor, though they would not say so for fear of rousing the indignation of other castes.	10
1	33	These barges, constructed of layered timbers of Ka-la-na wood, are towed by teams of river tharlarion, domesticated, vast, herbivorous, web-footed lizards raised and driven by the Cartius bargemen, fathers and sons, interrelated clans, claiming the status of a caste for themselves.	10
2	13	Men conceive Priest-Kings as they conceive themselves.	10
2	71	The Wagon Peoples war among themselves, but once in every two hands of years, there is a time of gathering of the peoples, and this, I had learned, was that time.	10
2	181	"Hear my name," cried he, "I am Kamchak of the Tuchuks!" As suddenly as he had finished, as soon as the men had named themselves, as if a signal had been given, the four kaiila bounded forward, squealing with rage, each rider bent low on his mount, lance gripped in his right hand, straining to be th...	10
3	5	At the last instant, the lances of four riders but a hand's breadth from my body, the enraged, thundering kaiila, hissing and squealing, at a touch of the control straps, arrested their fierce charge, stopping themselves, tearing into the deep turf with suddenly emergent claws.	10
3	123	Soon the animals would be turned in on themselves, to mill together in knots, until they were stopped by the shaggy walls of their own kind, to stand and graze until the morning.	10
5	6	These women were unscarred, but like the bosk themselves, each wore a nose ring.	10
5	15	It is to the sky that the Tuchuks pray when they pray, demanding victory and luck for themselves, defeat and misery for their enemies.	10
6	92	There was a murmur of approval from the crowd; even some of the enslaved Turian beauties, in spite of themselves, cried out in admiration.	10
7	4	The wagon itself was the largest in the camp, and the largest wagon I had conceived possible; actually it was a vast platform, set on numerous wheeled frames; though at the edges of the platform, on each side, there were a dozen of the large wheels such as are found on the much smaller wagons; these...	10
7	206	Who, or what, could dare such a thing? Besides, how did I know that the message was not from Priest-Kings? I knew, as Kamchak and Kutaituchik did not, of the recent Nest War beneath the Sardar, and of the disruption in the technological complexes of the Nest—who knew to what primitive devices...	10
8	34	Indeed, even the chains and collars of slave girls, worn often by captive Turian girls themselves, are of Turian origin.	10
8	37	From these raids the Wagon Peoples obtain a miscellany of goods which they are willing to barter to the Turians, jewels, precious metals, spices, colored table salts, harnesses and saddles for the ponderous tharlarion, furs of small river animals, tools for the field, scholarly scrolls, inks and pap...	10
9	18	There would be something, of course, to be said for such a claim, for the merchants are often indeed in their way, brave, shrewd, skilled men, making long journeys, venturing their goods, risking caravans, negotiating commercial agreements, among themselves developing and enforcing a body of Merchan...	10
9	89	One disappointment to me in trekking through the streets of Turia was that a crier advanced before us, calling to the women of the city to conceal themselves, even the female slaves.	10
9	136	In any event, women in a camisk, whether a common camisk or a Turian camisk, well know themselves slave.	10
9	285	"In my city," I said, "free women would not permit themselves to be seen unveiled before strangers".	10
10	229	Some were haggling with the vendors, others were talking among themselves.	10
10	262	The games of Love War, in themselves, do not constitute a gathering of the Wagon Peoples, for normally the herds and the free women of the peoples do not approach one another at these times; only certain delegations of warriors, usually about two hundred from a people, are sent in the spring to the ...	10
10	273	I wondered how many of the proud beauties of Turia would this night tearfully serve barbarian masters; and how many of the wild, leather-clad girls of the Wagons, like Hereena, would find themselves this night naught but bangled, silken slaves locked behind the high walls of distant, lofty Turia.	10
10	290	Thus, to interfere, a Turian would have to cross the space between the stakes, and so, too, would one of the Wagon Peoples, thus clearly calling themselves to the attention of the judges, those officials supervising the games.	10
10	396	Sometimes men fight among themselves for this honor, but such combat is frowned upon by both the Turians and those of the Wagons, being regarded as somewhat disgraceful, particularly in the presence of foes.	10
15	12	Also, perhaps not unimportantly, many of Turia's mercenary tarnsmen found themselves engaged in the time-consuming, distasteful task of supplying the city from distant points, often bringing food and arrow wood from as far away as the valleys of the eastern Cartius.	10
15	19	"I wonder," I said, "why the tarnsmen have not struck at the wagons—with fire arrows—why they do not attack the bosk themselves, slaying them from the air, forcing you to withdraw to protect the beasts".	10
16	312	If they had reasoned thus, then their strategy would seem likely to have been, first, to see that I did not find the egg, and, secondly, to secure it for themselves.	10
16	315	The second objective, that of obtaining the egg for themselves, was already almost accomplished; Kutaituchik had been killed and it had been stolen from his wagon; there was left only to deliver it to the gray man, who would, in turn, deliver it to the Others—whoever or whatever they might be...	10
21	271	"Tuchuks!" The guards suddenly looked about themselves startled.	10
23	106	At a distance of little more than a dozen feet thousands of arrows were poured into the trapped Paravaci and yet they pressed forward, on and over their brethren, and then, arrows spent, we met them on the wagons themselves with lances in our hands, thrusting them back and down.	10

15	212	The truly sinister aspect of even this portion of the girls' training did not become evident to me, or to Elizabeth, until the entire next week was spent again before the mirror, seeing themselves as slave girls, and repeating, aloud, these questions and answers, as though putting them to themselves...	10
13	8	The Administrator himself, with his consort, and many others of the high family, had locked themselves in their quarters, secluding themselves in their outrage and sorrow.	10
15	120	These girls, under the instructions of Cernus, were extremely deferential, save that they were continually to amuse themselves at the prisoner's expense, making sport of her shaved head, laughing and joking about it among themselves.	10
19	5	Many were the furious Gorean slave girls who found themselves, early in the Love Feast, forced to ascend the block while buyers were still waiting, before the larger quantities of gold would be spent, to be sold for prices less than they might otherwise have won for themselves under the conditions o...	10
22	353	I think there were none in that vast stadium who did not for the moment, even in the sun of summer, feel a swift chill, suddenly fearing themselves endangered, suddenly feeling themselves unwitting intruders, trespassers, wandered by accident, unwilling, into the domain of that majestic carnivore, t...	10
1	71	Only a bit of wood now, here and there, missed by the chilled wine, clung to flame; some of the logs, however, still smoked, and others held as though within themselves the redness of the fire they remembered; but most were simply charred, now dead, stained with the oil, wet from the wine.	10
1	91	There are several such factions, who control the racing and compete among themselves, the greens, the reds, the golds, the yellows, the silvers.	10
2	37	Some fled from the tables, lest, unknown to themselves, it be they for whom this man wore the mark of the black dagger.	10
2	189	Moreover, Kazrak had been one of the leaders of the forces that had preserved Ar in the time of its troubles with Pa-Kur, master of the Assassins; as the tale was now told in the streets, the men of Ar themselves, alone, had overthrown the invader; Kazrak seemed a living reminder that Glorious Ar ha...	10
2	311	"But the lash teaches them what is expected of them on the block, and they then present themselves well—and some bring fair prices—in spite of being barbarian".	10
3	52	Further, there is a harsh competition among themselves, for positions in certain streets and on certain bridges.	10
3	54	These positions, or territories, are allotted by the outcome of games among the Players themselves.	10
3	80	The odds, however, are in the favor of the recipient, and there are few Goreans who, if it seems they need the Serums, do not avail themselves of them.	10
3	100	Players, when playing among themselves, with men of equal strength, frequently play for a draw when they do not have the first move.	10
4	229	Further, such training, though spread over a period of months, normally consumes only about five of the Gorean hours daily, that the girls have time to rest, to absorb their lessons, to recreate themselves in the pools and gardens of the house.	10
5	333	"Further," said Misk, "the Others are themselves a not uninteresting species, and we have permitted certain of them, prisoners taken from disabled probe ships, to live on this world, much as we have humans".	10
5	426	Let others concern themselves with the dark business of war".	10

6	109	The Musicians began to play, and the girls in Pleasure Silk, hands over their heads, lifted themselves slowly to the melody, their bodies responding to it as though to the touch of a man.	10
7	158	"When they do," he said, "they will find themselves in the slave kennels".	10
9	26	It is a great mark of prestige among slave girls to be selected for sale from the great block in the Curulean, and girls tend to compete viciously among themselves for this honor.	10
9	42	I knew that in such places private auctions were sometimes conducted, discreetly, for favored clientele, many times slavers themselves.	10
9	43	At such private auctions, conducted secretly, Gorean slavers sometimes find it convenient to dispose of important, High Caste women without trace, sometimes even from the city of Ar itself, perhaps women who have lived proudly, luxuriously, not more than a pasang or two from the rounded, wooden bloc...	10
12	148	They were clearly enjoying themselves, and some were making bets, the stakes being pleasure beads from the contents of the jewelry and cosmetic box allotted to each, usually kept in her cell.	10
13	117	The atmosphere of the pool was further charged with the fragrance of Veminium, a kind of bluish wildflower commonly found on the lower slopes of the Thentis range; the walls, the columns, even the bottom of the pool, were decorated with representations of Veminium, and many of the plants themselves ...	10
15	25	The dance receives its name from the fact that the girl's head is not supposed to rise above the Warrior's belt, but only purists concern themselves with such niceties; wherever the dance is performed, however, it is imperative that the girl never rise to her feet.	10
15	156	Then they would make some small progress and be rewarded with a kind word, which they found they could not help themselves from receiving with joy.	10
15	171	Indeed, sometimes the girls would be forced to compete among themselves, with small candies as prizes, and each would find herself, to her subsequent horror, striving eagerly to outdo the others, that it might be she to whom Sura would throw the sugared pellet.	10
15	173	The conditioning, of course, was subtle, as well as gross, being a combination not simply of torment and reward, but including the intended inculcation of an image and understanding of themselves as well.	10
15	177	The point of this, as Elizabeth and I supposed, was simply to accustom them to seeing themselves as slave girls.	10
15	193	I expect both, and I am certain that Flaminius, recognized the errors and exaggerations of their own position, but neither was concerned with the truth; both were concerned only with victory, and pleasing themselves.	10
15	200	She had learned on Gor that women are marvelous, but that they are not men, nor should they be; that they are themselves; that they are independent, magnificent creatures; that it takes two sexes for the human race to be whole; and that each is splendid.	10
15	402	Many Slavers think of themselves as an independent caste.	10

10	175	Beyond this, lastly, it might be mentioned that Gorean society, on the whole, tends to be tradition bound, and that there is little questioning of the wisdom of one's fathers; in such a society individuals usually have an identity satisfactory to themselves, and a place in which they feel comfortabl...	10

2	367	They regard, it seems, all women, slave or free, as soft, worthless creatures, so unlike themselves.	10

8	32	It is not simply that there is great danger to the slavers themselves, in the shiftings and blazings of such a conflagration, but rather that the forest, the sheltering and beautiful forest, is felt as being injured.	10
8	55	We could then stand over them with knives, preventing them from freeing themselves.	10

14	33	The men of Ar had given a good account of themselves.	10

18	652	Then they, with the leader, lifted themselves into the boat.	10
19	39	They could shield themselves, either with wood or slaves, from the forest.	10
