Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
1	27	I liked America very much, though I was quite busy the first semester, smashing through numerous texts in an undignified manner, attempting to commit enough English history to memory to keep at least a reign or so ahead of my students.	9
1	42	Surely the college, though somewhat rural, was at least one of the outworks of, say, material civilization.	9
1	70	It seemed to be cooler now, though I still had the distinct impression of warmth.	9
1	133	I knew the signature, though I could not remember the man.	9
1	178	Strangely enough, now that I think of it, I didn't run headlong from the spot, though I can't see why, and the thought did cross my mind that the bright, flarelike luminescence would reveal my position, if it was of interest to anyone or anything.	9
2	33	I felt for a moment as though I must have stumbled, have been dizzy.	9
2	235	There was another possibility I mentioned to my father—perhaps the planet had been in our system all the time, but had been undiscovered, unlikely though that might be, given the thousands of years of study of the skies by men, from the shambling creatures of the Neander Valley to the brillia...	9
2	239	It has the same plane of orbit and maintains its orbit in such a way as always to keep The Central Fire between it and its planetary sister, our Earth, even though this necessitates occasional adjustments in its speed of revolution".	9
3	1	The Tarn "Ho!" cried Torm, that most improbable member of the Caste of Scribes, throwing his blue robes over his head as though he could not bear to see the light of day.	9
3	120	But I enjoyed those weeks, as one is likely to when learning and developing oneself, though to what end I was still ignorant.	9
3	132	Earth origin, incidentally, was not a part of the First Knowledge, though it was of the Second.	9
3	164	He was a blond Viking giant of a man, a bearded fellow with a cheerful, craggy face and fierce blue eyes, who strode about as though he owned the earth on which he stood.	9
3	255	Though the tarn, like most birds, is surprisingly light for its size, this primarily having to do with the comparative hollowness of the bones, it is an extremely powerful bird, powerful even beyond what one would expect from such a monster.	9
3	270	No one in the City of Cylinders, as far as I knew, maintained tharlarions, though they were supposedly quite common on Gor, particularly in the lower areas—in swampland and on the deserts.	9
4	36	"Do you seek to climb to the Moons of Gor?" I suddenly realized I felt dizzy, or slightly so, but the magnificent black tarn was still climbing, though now struggling, his wings beating fiercely with frustrated persistence against the thinning, less resistant air.	9
4	169	Somehow I had the feeling they were genuinely proud of me, though I had no idea why.	9
5	32	I would not permit the plan of the Council to be followed completely, not in her case, even though she had agreed to play her part in the plan, knowing it meant her life.	9
5	44	Her part in the plan was simple, though ultimately fatal.	9
5	92	It was not easy to talk on the back of the great tarn, with the wind, and, besides, though I wanted to communicate with the girl, I felt I could not.	9
5	97	"Where are you going, Master?" The word "Master," though it had come appropriately enough from the girl, who was, legally at least, my property, startled me.	9
6	61	Helplessly, she seemed to stammer some incoherent word of gratitude and turned trustfully to me, putting her arms around my waist as though for additional security; I felt her trembling, innocent body against mine, her dependence on me, and then she suddenly locked her arms around my waist and with ...	9
6	157	This made me angry, for some reason, though I thought myself well rid of her.	9
6	177	Many of the free women of Gor and almost always those of High Caste wear the Robes of Concealment, though, of course, their garments are seldom as complex or splendidly wrought as those of a Ubar's daughter.	9
6	178	The Robes of Concealment, in function, resemble the garments of Muslim women on my own planet, though they are undoubtedly more intricate and cumbersome.	9
6	185	I also noted, though with considerably less pleasure, that the daughter of the Ubar was several inches taller than myself.	9
7	197	I felt ashamed and resolved that I would do no harm to this girl, though she was as wicked and faithless as a tharlarion.	9
7	220	The officer, a swaggering fellow whose helmet, though polished, bore the marks of combat, approached me, holding his sword to me, and seized my weapon from its scabbard and the girl's dagger from my belt.	9
7	229	My cheek felt as though it had been branded.	9
8	2	The common soldier, setting the crossbow on the ground, strode to the daughter of the Ubar, who stood as though stunned, her face drained of color.	9
8	4	Her body, though stained with the mire of the swamp, was exquisitely beautiful.	9
8	24	"Do not fear—though there are many in Ar who rejoice in your deed, your death will not be pleasant or swift".	9
8	133	"Is it different in your city, Warrior?" "Yes," I said, remembering that in Ko-ro-ba, primitive though it was, the family was respected and maintained.	9
9	6	She was now a free though submitted person, at large on the plains of the empire.	9
9	7	The wind shook her hair and tore at her gown, and she would throw back her head, exposing her throat and shoulders to its rough caress, drinking it in as though it were Ka-la-na wine.	9
9	8	I sensed that with me, nominal captive though she was, she was freer than she had ever been before; she was like a naturally wild bird which has been raised in a cage and at last escapes from the confining wire bars.	9
9	9	Somehow her happiness was contagious, and, almost as though we were not mortal enemies, we talked to one another and joked as we made our way across the plains.	9
11	63	I took Talena by the elbow and, though she protested, moved her gently through the crowd and out into the air.	9
12	47	I should have known that the proud Talena, daughter of a Ubar, would leap at the first chance to return to power in Ar, even though it be at the head of a plundering host of brigands.	9
12	101	I was conscious in that mad, terrible instant of the flash of steel-shod talons at the breast of my bird, and then my bird shook as though seized with a convulsion and opened his talons.	9
12	150	And there on that windy ledge, in that abode of the tarn, I ate the meal that satisfied me as no other had ever done, though it consisted only of some mouthfuls of water, some stale biscuits, and a wrapper of dried meat.	9
13	6	I had lost the girl I had loved, cruel and treacherous though she might have been.	9
13	40	Though I suppose this is purely instinctive on the larl's part, it does have the effect, over a series of generations, of weeding out animals which, if they survived, might transmit their intelligence, or perhaps their erratic running patterns, to their offspring.	9
13	109	From the bent heap of rags that was a fellow human being, a hand reached up to me, the fingers crooked, as though they might have been the claws of a chicken.	9
14	10	Die though I must at the hands of this magnificent barbarian, I could feel no ill will toward him.	9
14	14	He held it gently, as though it might have been a child.	9
14	33	"But I, Marlenus, though a warrior, was more than a warrior, always more than a warrior.	9
14	51	He lifted the weapon, wielding the heavy metal blade as though it were a straw.	9
15	198	"Besides, few of the soldiers of Gor, barbarians though they might be, would risk the destruction of their city's Home Stone—the luck of their birthplace".	9
15	263	"Though you are of the Merchant Caste, you are a brave man".	9
16	120	Here I was admitted without question, as though my helmet were sufficient guarantee in itself of my right to be there.	9
16	130	The tower slave regarded me gravely, as though I had chosen to exercise some long-neglected or obsolescent privilege.	9
17	104	Still, the days in the tarn cot, gigantic though it was, must have been confining for that Ubar of the Skies, my tarn, and I knew he would relish flight, the chance to pit his wings once again against the fierce winds of Gor.	9
17	112	I suppose it was a gesture, nothing but a gesture, but, pitiful though it might be, it pleased me, and, to be honest, I did not expect to live to spend the coin.	9
18	7	How much I would have given to have had Marlenus and his men at my side, few though they might be! Then, as if the pieces of a puzzle had suddenly, unexpectedly, snapped into shape, a plan sprang into my head.	9
18	24	He had gray eyes that looked as though they had seen action and hadn't flinched.	9
18	66	I could see the tharlarion on which he rode, the figure of the Assassin, and the slip of a girl, in her white robe, who, beside the animal, walked like a Ubara, though barefoot and chained to its saddle.	9
18	103	Inside, the tunnel, though dim, was not altogether dark, being lit by domelike, wire-protected energy bulbs, spaced in pairs every hundred yards or so.	9
18	112	In this chamber, though empty of human beings, was a monstrous tarn cot, in which some twenty gigantic, half-starved tarns huddled separately on the tarn perches.	9
18	122	Therefore, impossible though it might seem, I must devise some plan to scatter or overcome his besiegers.	9
19	21	I called after him, but his choice, painful though it must have been, had been made.	9
19	89	The religious conditioning of the men of Gor, based on superstition though it might be, was as powerful as a set of chains—more powerful than chains because they did not realize it existed.	9
19	166	During this time Talena, though bound hand and foot, had struggled to her knees, and she watched us fight, her hair and the folds of her robe blown by the wind that whipped across the roof of the cylinder.	9
20	66	I have even joined a fencing club, to keep my eye alert and my wrist strong, though the puny foils we use are sorry weapons compared to the swords of Gor.	9
20	67	Strangely, though it has now been six years since I left the Counter-Earth, I can discover no signs of aging or physical alteration in my appearance.	9

Book 2. (104 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
14	153	For an instant, perhaps an unworthy instant, I feared the bird would immediately take to the skies, but though the metal was shaken from its leg, though it was free, though the spearmen advanced, it did not move.	10
1	87	"It must not be too late," he said, as though he had resolved on something, as though by the sheer force of his will he would stop the flow of time, the random track of events.	10
14	55	Yet it was perhaps more, for as I stood by the bird, I felt almost as though I had come home to Ko-ro-ba, as though I stood here now with something in this gray, hostile city that knew me and mine, that had looked upon the Towers of the Morning, and had spread its wings above the glistening cylinder...	10
23	40	Though the full force of my will drove me to the mountains, though in the mountains the Priest-Kings waited for me, I could not yet go.	10
24	155	When at last I stood unslain on the black cobblestones at the foot of the double rampart I knew that though Dorna the Proud might rule in Tharna, though it might be she who sat upon the golden throne of the city, that it was the word of a warrior that ruled on those ramparts above me.	10
25	117	I suddenly knew the answer, that Thorn somehow had loved this cruel woman, that his warrior's heart had been turned to her though he had never looked upon her face, though she had never given him a smile or the touch of her hand.	10
1	5	He was quiet and pleasant, though sometimes he seemed remote, or lonely, somehow unwilling to break through that protective shield of formality behind which the educated Englishman, at heart perhaps as sentimental and hot-blooded as any man, attempts to conceal his feelings.	9
1	9	His hair, lamentably perhaps, though some of us loved him for it, was red, but not merely red—it was rather a tangled, blazing affront to the proprieties of the well-groomed academician.	9
1	149	Then I noticed his ring, almost for the first time, though I had seen it a thousand times.	9
1	191	Though I have reason to believe he lives.	9
2	38	For the Gorean, though he seldom speaks of these things, a city is more than brick and marble, cylinders and bridges.	9
2	44	The Goreans generally, though there are exceptions, particularly the Caste of Initiates, do not believe in immortality.	9
2	87	I found myself thinking in Gorean, as fluently as though I had not been gone for seven years.	9
3	10	Surprisingly, though the pasang stones told me I was close to Ko-ro-ba, stubborn tufts of grass were growing between the stones, and occasional vines were inching out, tendril by tendril, across the great stone blocks.	9
3	12	Though it was still bright, many of the colorfully plumed birds had already sought their nests.	9
3	113	Impulsively, as though it were a life-giving plank in the maelstrom of his fear, he seized the ax.	9
4	87	A shudder involuntarily shook me, though I do not know if this was due to the cold and the rain or the sight of the long, furred lizardlike body that lay at my feet.	9
4	99	Then, soberly, though I acknowledged it as a superstition, I performed the Gorean ritual of looking into the blood.	9
5	45	He was not as other Initiates, though he wore their robes.	9
5	74	I was now only in the presence of a man, a fellow human being even though he wore the sublime robes of the proud Caste of Initiates.	9
5	75	He seemed to be struggling with himself, as though he wanted to speak his own words and not those of the Priest-Kings.	9
5	98	It seemed as though the entire inside of his head began to burst and burn, to bubble like some horrid viscous lava inside the crater of his skull.	9
6	11	I would have given much for a tarn in my journey, though I knew no tarn would fly into the mountains.	9
6	13	The tharlarions become unmanageable, and, though the tarn will essay the flight, the bird almost immediately becomes disoriented, uncoordinated, and drops screaming back to the plains below.	9
6	25	As was wise, I avoided cities in my long journey, though I passed several, for to enter a city without permission or without satisfactory reason is tantamount to a capital crime, and the punishment is usually a swift and brutal impalement.	9
6	40	For that matter, though I did not seriously consider the possibility, being without a city, in effect an outlaw, I was entitled in the Gorean way of thinking to take the bird or its purchase price in any way I saw fit.	9
6	42	Though she was young she walked slowly, mournfully, heedlessly, aimlessly.	9
6	65	Slim though her chances might be to escape wild beasts or slavers, they would be greater than the chance of escaping the wrath of the Priest-Kings.	9
6	87	Though she is clad only in the almost transparent scarlet dancing silks of Gor, her back is straight, her head high.	9
6	111	Perhaps it should only be added that the Gorean master, though often strict, is seldom cruel.	9
6	125	Surprisingly enough, a woman who is bought from her parents, for tarns or gold, is regarded as a Free Companion, even though she may not have been consulted in the transaction.	9
7	9	Though they were four and I was one I had carried the battle to them.	9
8	2	The gate had been open and though I had been carefully scrutinized by its guards, tall spearmen in blue helmets, no one had objected to my entry.	9
8	13	Indeed, it was known that some free women actually envied their lightly clad sisters in bondage, free, though wearing a collar, to come and go much as they pleased, to feel the wind on the high bridges, the arms of a master who celebrated their beauty and claimed them as his own.	9
8	26	Though it was apparently a market day, judging from the numerous stalls of vegetables, the racks of meat under awnings, the tubs of salted fish, the cloths and trinkets spread out on carpets before the seated, cross-legged merchants, there was none of the noisy clamor that customarily attends the Go...	9
8	28	Though on Gor the free maiden is by custom expected to see her future companion only after her parents have selected him, it is common knowledge that he is often a youth she has met in the marketplace.	9
8	29	He who speaks for her hand, especially if she is of low caste, is seldom unknown to her, although the parents and the young people as well solemnly act as though this were the case.	9
8	56	Tharna, though a city of cylinders, did not seem to my eye as beautiful as many other cities I had seen.	9
8	82	I scorned to conceal this reason, though the object of my journey I reserved to myself.	9
8	89	"How then," he asked, "do you propose to obtain your tarn?" "I am not an outlaw," I said, "though I wear no insignia on my tunic, or shield".	9
9	51	"It sounds to me as though the Palace of the Tatrix were the more comfortable," I said.	9
9	109	I took a long, burning swig of the brew and though, on another occasion, I might have thought it foul, tonight it sang through my body like the bubbling fire it was, a sizzling, brutal irritant that tasted so bad and yet charmed me so much I had to laugh.	9
9	111	The men of Tharna who were crowded in that place looked upon me as though I might be mad.	9
10	94	On the walls, as though in some workshop, there hung instruments of various sorts, which I shall not describe, other than to say that they were ingeniously designed for the torment of human beings.	9
11	38	"Do not strike him," said an imperious voice, and the whip arm of Thorn dropped as though the muscles had been cut.	9
11	173	She extended her silver-gloved hand, palm facing her body and chopped brutally down with it, as though it might have been a blade.	9
12	74	After all, though the Caste of Singers, or Poets, was not a high caste, it had more prestige than, for example, the Caste of Pot-Makers or Saddle-Makers, with which it was sometimes compared.	9
12	85	"A handful of bread for a song," was a common Gorean invitation extended to members of the caste, and it might occur on the lips of a peasant or a Ubar, and the poet took great pride that he would sing the same song in both the hut of the peasant and the halls of the Ubar, though it won for him only...	9
12	113	"Yet," she said, "though I had worn the silver mask, and counted myself a woman of Tharna, when he took me in his arms, I did not find the sensation unpleasant".	9
13	42	Though we are abject beasts Fit only to live for your comfort Fit only to die for your pleasure Yet we glorify the Masks of Tharna.	9
13	84	Though yoked, we faced one another, men, each knowing that he had found a friend on the sands of the arena of Tharna.	9
13	95	Then it seemed as though what I had said struck, deep within him, some responsive chord.	9
14	7	Perhaps the Amusements of Tharna were not spoiled at all; perhaps the best was yet to come? Surely my death beneath the beak and talons of a tarn would provide a gratifying spectacle for the insatiable masks of Tharna, adequate compensation for the disappointments of the afternoon, for the disregard...	9
14	8	Hideous though the death might seem to the silver masks of Tharna, they did not know that I was a tarnsman, and knew these birds, their power, their ferocity; that in my way I loved them; and that as a warrior I would not find a death by tarn ignoble.	9
14	14	I rejoiced in this new freedom, in the absence of the yoke, though I knew it was given to me only in order to improve the spectacle.	9
14	53	As I stood beside the bird, I felt happy, though I knew it was intended to be my executioner.	9
14	60	Though to most of those who observed it would seem that the tarn was unusually quiet, I sensed that it was trembling, like myself, with excitement.	9
14	82	"Free it!" The man looked at me as though I might have been insane.	9
14	103	I addressed myself to the giant tarn, as though he had been a warrior, a member of my caste.	9
15	35	I cursed myself for a thoughtless fool, for in the exhilaration of the flight, incomprehensible though it seems to me now, I had forgotten the Tatrix.	9
15	43	Though I scrutinized the sky behind me, looking for those tiny specks that would be distant tarns in flight, I saw nothing.	9
15	82	It was the answer I had expected, though undoubtedly her body was almost broken, her flesh bruised to the bone.	9
15	166	She looked as though she might swoon.	9
15	181	It sounded now as though the Tatrix might bargain.	9
15	241	I offered a piece to the Tatrix, but her body swayed as though she were ill and I would not insist.	9
16	47	I was pleased, for though I would have little use for such riches in the Sardar Mountains, Linna and Andreas, and the poor wretches of the arena, might well profit from them.	9
16	97	Slowly, though no strength returned to my body, my vision cleared, first in the center, and then gradually toward the edges, until I could once again see the pillar, the sky beyond and my foes.	9
17	31	Revolted, I had not joined in this wretched contest, though by my chains I had been dragged to the very edge of the trough.	9
17	86	* * * * In the morning, though I knew it was morning only by the curses of the Whip Slaves, the cracking of the whips, the cries of the slaves and the rattle of chains, I and my fellow prisoners crawled from our cell, emerging again into the broad, rectangular room which lay directly beyond.	9
17	91	Though he might never see the light of the sun, yet it was he who held the whip, he who was Ubar in this macabre dungeon.	9
18	55	Then I began to encourage them to speak to one another, and to call one another by their names, and their cities, and though there were men of different cities there, they shared the same chain and trough, and they accepted one another.	9
18	57	When one man was beaten, others would pass water from hand to hand that his wounds might be bathed, that he might drink though the chain did not allow him to the water.	9
18	173	At last each man of the chain was within the horizontal tunnel, though the last four men had of necessity been dragged to its level, for they hung limp in their chains.	9
19	9	And the eyes of Ost, too, like those of a terrified urt, looked from face to face, pleading, but Ost found no pity in those eyes that looked upon him as though they might have been composed of stone.	9
19	139	Perhaps both of us wondered that friendship should exist between members of such different castes, but perhaps both of us knew, though we did not say so, that in the hearts of men arms and song are never far distant.	9
20	16	Though I found it easy to hate him I did not wish him to have died unarmed.	9
20	56	More commonly, though never in the context of time, the sun is referred to as Tor-tu-Gor, or Light Upon the Home Stone.	9
20	73	Had I possessed a Gorean compass, its needle would have pointed invariably to those mountains, as though to indicate the home of the Priest-Kings.	9
20	127	I think, though it may be absurd, that the beast felt that he might have failed me, that he had not carried me into the mountains.	9
20	128	I think, too, though it is perhaps still more absurd, that he knew that I would not be waiting for him when he returned from his hunt.	9
21	29	Her eyes had turned to me, begging, pleading, as though I might deliver her from her predicament, but when she looked upon me, those fear-glazed eyes, if possible, seemed even more terrified.	9
21	41	When an individual captures a girl for his own uses, he does not always mark her, though it is commonly done.	9
21	43	The brand is to be distinguished from the collar, though both are a designation of slavery.	9
21	195	I moved it, and the hair, as lightly as though it had been air, floated from the blade.	9
21	227	Many of them were beauties, and I thought that the chain, though small, was a rich one, and that almost any man might find thereon a woman to his taste.	9
22	140	"Though I was Tatrix of Tharna," she said, "I wanted to lie at your feet on the scarlet rug, I wanted to be bound with yellow cords".	9
22	173	Yet this situation, socially viable though it might be for generations, is not one truly productive of human happiness.	9
22	212	He caught his balance there and, earrings swinging, turned to regard me as though I might have lost my senses.	9
23	22	Yet though I could not repress my admiration of this girl and the transformation which had been wrought in her from the cold Tatrix of Tharna to the humiliated slave to the glorious creature who now stood beside me my thoughts were mostly in the Sardar, for I knew that I had not yet kept my appointm...	9
23	150	Such men made fearsome antagonists, even though their swords might be pledged to the most despicable of causes.	9
23	157	"Yes, brave Guardsman," said the girl, placing her hand gently on his forehead as though to soothe him, "I am Lara".	9
24	150	Though he wore the blue helmet of Tharna I knew that it was Thorn.	9
25	67	Inside the basket was a woman whose carriage and figure I knew to be that of Dorna the Proud, though she now wore only a simple silver mask of Tharna.	9
25	118	And I knew then that Thorn, henchman though he might have been, dissolute and savage antagonist, had yet been greater than she who had been the object of his hopeless, tragic affection.	9
25	149	Dorna the Proud, thanks to the sacrifice of Thorn, her captain, had made good her escape, though to what fate I dared not conjecture.	9
26	12	Many have entered the mountains and so many must have learned the secret of the Priest-Kings, though none has returned to tell it.	9
26	32	"And add to the golden tarn disks," she had exclaimed, "tarn disks of silver to be formed from the masks of our women, for henceforth in Tharna no woman may wear a mask of either gold or silver, not even though she be Tatrix of Tharna herself!" And as she had spoken, according to the customs of Thar...	9
26	42	It is perhaps a small thing to see on the belt of an artisan a silver buckle of the style worn in mountainous Thentis or to note the delicacy of dried eels from Port Kar in the marketplace, but these things, small though they are, speak to me of a new Tharna.	9
26	46	One change that I find of interest, though I cannot heartily approve, is that the rails have been removed from the high bridges of Tharna.	9
26	63	In its way, under the circumstances, the judgment of Lara was merciful—though it was greeted with wails of lamentation from the roped captives.	9
26	71	Thus each silver mask will in time belong to a beast, though at first she is given some opportunity to determine whose yellow cords she will feel, on whose rug the ceremony of submission will take place.	9
26	108	I speak as though my frail arm might avail against the power of Priest-Kings.	9
26	110	Yet I, Tarl Cabot, shall go to the Sardar; I shall meet with Priest-Kings, and of them, though they be the gods of Gor, I shall demand an accounting.	9
26	118	But even so I tell myself that it is still I who move myself, and not Priest-Kings, even though I might move in their patterns; if it is their intention that I should demand an accounting, it is my intention as well; if it is their game, it is also mine.	9

5	241	When I said this, though I spoke in jest, she stiffened as though I might have lashed her mouth with the back of my hand.	10
7	57	She would simply be Vika, insolent, aloof, contemptuous, provocative, untamed though collared, determined to be the master though she were the slave.	10
20	159	I suddenly felt as though a hammer had struck me, for though I hated Vika of Treve I would not have wished her dead.	10
25	150	"I see," she said, "that even though I was once a proud woman of the high city of Treve you have not honored me with binding fiber but have bound my limbs only with the thong of your sandal, as though I might be the lowest tavern slave in Ar—carried off on a wager, a whim or caprice".	10
27	362	Then before my horrified eyes the carcass of that ancient she began to shiver and tremble and I stood back as she struggled to my amazement to her feet and reared herself to the height of a Priest-King, her antennae extended to their very lengths as though grasping, clutching, trying to sense someth...	10
30	120	Though my body burned from the whip, I was more hurt by the thought of Vika, surprisingly perhaps, hurt by the thought that I had known who and what she was all along, though somewhere in my heart I had always hoped I was wrong.	10
31	111	Though the path it had to travel was broken and littered the cushion of gas on which the disk flowed lifted the vehicle cleanly, though bucking and tilting, over the debris.	10
1	51	If I should meet him I knew he would thrust himself upon me and insist on being taken into the Sardar, though he would know it would mean his death, and I would have to bundle him in his blue robes, hurl him into a rain barrel and make my escape.	9
1	55	The commercial facilities of these fairs, from money changing to general banking, are the finest I know of on Gor, save those in Ar's Street of Coins, and letters of credit are accepted and loans negotiated, though often at usurious rates, with what seems reckless indifference.	9
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...	9
1	100	He had won his freedom though it had, as the Goreans say, led him to the Cities of Dust, where, I think, not even Priest-Kings care to follow.	9
1	101	He had, as a man, lifted his fist against the might of Priest-Kings and so he had died, defiantly, though horribly, with great nobility.	9
2	5	He could not read the manuscript, as it was written in English, a language as foreign to him as Gorean would be to most of you, but yet he would treasure the manuscript and guard it as though it were a most precious possession, for he was a scribe and it is the way of scribes to love the written wor...	9
2	66	If there is an optimum configuration for a land predator, I suppose on my old world the palm must go to the Bengal tiger; but on Gor the prize belongs indisputably to the mountain larl; and I cannot but believe that the structural similarities between the two animals, though of different worlds, are...	9
3	6	I was struck with wonder, though I was careful to keep beyond the range of their chains, for I had never seen white larls before.	9
3	31	Yes, I repeated grimly to myself, glaring at the larls, though smiling, it was well done, too well done.	9
3	53	Tobacco is unknown on Gor, though there are certain habits or vices to take its place, in particular the stimulation afforded by chewing on the leaves of the Kanda plant, the roots of which, oddly enough, when ground and dried, constitute an extremely deadly poison.	9
3	57	It was impossible not to be drawn to him; I found that I liked him, though I had just met him; and that I wanted him to like me, and that I felt he did, and that this pleased me.	9
4	150	Parp was, I was sure, though I had not touched him, as palpable as you or I.	9
5	44	She then returned into the vicinity of the stone platform, and knelt again before me, though some feet away.	9
5	98	'Please, Master, no, no, Master!" She sounded so piteous that I abandoned my plan and released her, though I was irritated by her fear.	9
5	138	And though her face was stained with the tears of her recent terror and her hair and robes were disarranged, she was beautiful, perhaps the more so because of her distress, which had at least shattered the icy aloofness with which she had originally regarded me.	9
5	161	"There is a connection of some sort, though perhaps only a beam of some type, between the plate and these cells," I said, going to them and examining them.	9
5	184	Holding it before her as though to shield her face she approached the portal.	9
5	205	Her eyes regarded me, rather boldly I thought, as though inviting me to exercise my authority over her, to address to her any command I might see fit, a command which she of course would have no choice but to obey.	9
5	251	I could understand that she, a proud, intelligent girl, could not but resent the indignities of her position, being forced to serve with the full offices of the slave girl whomsoever the Priest-Kings might see fit to send to her chamber, but yet I found in these grievances, great though they might b...	9
6	34	The position of the Tower Slave, in which Vika knelt, differs from that of a free woman only in the position of the wrists which are held before her and, when not occupied, crossed as though for binding.	9
7	37	My Chamber Slave's accent had been pure High Caste Gorean though I could not place the city.	9
7	41	To the Goreans it is always, simply, The Language, as though there were no others, and those who do not speak it are regarded immediately as barbarians.	9
7	44	I found it difficult to remove from my mind the image of the two Chamber Slaves, and that of Vika, perhaps because the plight of these girls touched my heart, perhaps because each, though differently, was beautiful.	9
7	113	It was, as far as I could tell at that time, a simple odor, though later I would learn that it was the complex product of odors yet more simple than itself.	9
8	40	It might be possible, of course, to use some type of penetrating beam which if subtly enough adjusted might permit the reception of signals through walls and then relay these to a distant screen, but I doubted that such a device, though perhaps within the capacities of the Priest-Kings, would be use...	9
8	49	I seized the bowl from her hand and hurled it underhanded up against the bulb which, though it had apparently burned out, shattered with a great flash and hiss of smoke and sparks.	9
8	142	If the issue was grain, of course, there would be little point in going to Thentis, for she imports her own, but her primary wealth, her tarn flocks, is not negligible, and she also possesses silver, though her mines are not as rich as those of Tharna.	9
8	225	Slowly, trembling, moving as though in a dream, the girl approached the portal, and this time the sensors could not glow.	9
9	7	Thus when she has been irritable or otherwise troublesome even a Free Companion may find herself at the foot of the couch looking forward to a pleasant night on the stones, stripped, with neither mat nor blanket, chained to a slave ring precisely as though she were a lowly slave girl.	9
9	118	"Oh how pleased I was when they beat him and he cried out," she said, "for I hated him—so much I hated him—for he was not a true man and even though of the Caste of Physicians could not stand pain.	9
9	120	I knew that Gorean caste lines, though largely following birth, were not inflexible, and that a man who did not care for his caste might be allowed to change caste, if approved by the High Council of his city, an approval usually contingent on his qualifications for the work of another caste and the...	9
9	148	Rage transfigured Vika's features and she leaped from the couch and strode to the side of the room, her fingers angrily inside her collar, as though they might pull it from her throat.	9
9	164	I turned to face Vika once more, and I no longer saw the girl to whom I had been speaking but a woman of High Caste, from the bandit kingdom of Treve, insolent and imperious, though collared.	9
9	213	I found myself tempted to break her head against the foot of the stone couch, for she was worthless, treacherous, seductive, cruel, vicious, worthy only of the collar, irons and the whip! She shook her head numbly as though denying charges I had not voiced.	9
9	229	I watched Vika and suddenly she seemed too to know and her head lifted and her eyes widened with horror and she crept to her knees, her hands before her face as though to shield herself and she shuddered and suddenly uttered a wild, long, terrible scream of abject fear.	9
10	1	Misk the Priest-King The Priest-Kings have little or no scent of their own which is detectable by the human nostrils, though one gathers there is a nest odor by which they may identify one another, and that the variations in this nest odor permit identifications of individuals.	9
10	13	In fact, though I speak of hearing and smelling, I am not sure that these expressions are altogether meaningful when applied to Priest-Kings.	9
10	16	Communication by odor-signals can in certain circumstances be extremely efficient, though it can be disadvantageous in others.	9
10	52	The Priest-King looked down at me and the antennae quivered as though in curiosity.	9
11	19	His head turned, his laterally opening jaws opened and closed slowly, his shoulders rustled and the two antennae twitched once as though in irritation, and then idly they began to examine the roof of the dome.	9
11	30	Impatience, for example, is often indicated by a tremor in the tactile hair on the supporting appendages, as though the creature could not wait to be off; a wandering of attention can be shown by the unconscious movement of the cleaning hooks from behind the third joints of the forelegs, suggesting ...	9
12	4	Among them I saw men and women, barefoot with shaven heads, clad in short purple tunics that reflected the various lights of the plaza as though they might have been formed of some reflective plastic.	9
12	241	And then to my surprise one of the slaves, though which one I could not have told, looked at me and spoke.	9
13	6	In our sense there is no distinction between a spoken and written language for the Priest-Kings, though there is an analogous distinction between linguistic patterns that are actually sensed and those which are potentially to be sensed, an example of the latter being the scents of a yet uncoiled sce...	9
13	13	Gorean, I might note, is somewhat similar, and though I speak Gorean fluently, I find it very difficult to write, largely because of the even-numbered lines which, from my point of view, must be written backwards.	9
14	115	Occasionally after we got to know one another better, he would even allow me to groom him, and the first time he allowed me, with the small grooming fork used by favored Muls, to comb his antennae I knew that he trusted me, and liked me, though for what reason I could not tell.	9
14	125	I felt a tension in the foreleg of Misk which I was grooming as though it were involuntarily preparing to invert, bringing out the bladelike projection.	9
14	140	We came upon a Golden Beetle though none had ever been seen in that place and I wanted to go to the Beetle and I put down my head and approached it but the girl seized my antennae and dragged me away, thus saving my life".	9
14	156	I would learn later, however, that this simple fact was indeed almost incomprehensible to Priest-Kings, and that Misk, though he readily accepted it as a fact in his mind, could not bring himself, so to speak, in the furthest reaches of his heart to acknowledge it as true, for were not both he and S...	9
14	166	He laid his antennae gently on my shoulders, almost as though a man might have put his hands on them.	9
15	33	It was but a moment's work to locate the knob of which he spoke though I gathered from what he said that it might have been well concealed from the typical sensory awareness of a Priest-King.	9
15	127	"Once," said Misk, "we rejoiced and lived, but now though we remain young in body we are old in mind, and one wonders more often, from time to time, on the Pleasures of the Golden Beetle".	9
16	15	I rushed to the figure on the table, the torch held as though to strike it.	9
16	40	"You have surely not failed to notice," said Misk, "that though you came to the Counter-Earth more than seven years ago you have undergone no significant physical alteration in that time".	9
16	97	"Yes," said Misk, "and your father, who is a brave and noble man, has served us upon occasion, though he dealt only, unknowingly, with Implanted Ones.	9
16	111	"She knew," said Misk, "for though she was a woman of Earth she had been to Gor".	9
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".	9
17	1	The Scanning Room Though the moss in the case was soft I had great difficulty in falling asleep that night, for I could not rid my mind of the turbulence which had been occasioned in it by the disclosures of Misk, the Priest-King.	9
17	28	I did not, however, betray my surprise and acted as though I did not know that the expression was a new addition to the Gorean lexicon on his tapes.	9
17	41	"Tell me why you have been brought to the Nest," said Sarm, and suddenly his antennae snapped downward towards me like whips, and now rigid, they seemed to be trained on me, as though they might be weapons.	9
17	124	Suddenly one of the cubes we passed locked onto a given scene and no more did the scenery move past me as though in a three-dimensional screen.	9
17	127	He looked furtively about himself as though he feared he might be observed.	9
19	61	For all practical purposes it now seemed that Priest-Kings would be invulnerable to my blade, though I supposed I might have injured them severely if I sliced at the sensory hairs on the legs, at the trunk joining thorax and abdomen, at the eyes and antennae if I could reach them.	9
19	64	Rather than reveal this information he would undoubtedly prefer that I hack away at doomed Misk as though he were a block of insensate fungus.	9
21	31	We listened carefully and in the distance it seemed we heard, incredibly enough, the mournful singing of human voices, as though of many men, and the sound was as we determined by listening for a minute or two gradually nearing.	9
21	41	As nearly as I could make it out the song, though sad, was a paean of some sort to Priest-Kings, and mentioned the Feast of Tola and Gur.	9
21	70	In the light of the last torches which left the chamber I could see that there remained one Priest-King who, though emptied of Gur, still clung to the ceiling.	9
22	187	His antennae inclined toward me and the golden hairs with which the antennae glistened extended towards me as though to touch me.	9
23	15	How long Vika had been dead I had no way of judging, though I cursed myself for it would not have appeared to be a matter of more than a few hours.	9
23	16	Her body, though rigid in the appearance of recent death, did not have the coldness I would have expected.	9
23	25	Though I had hated Vika of Treve I would not have wanted this fate to be hers, nor could I believe that any man, even those whom she had injured, could have wished it to be so.	9
23	34	Her body and arms and legs, though cut and injured, were neither torn nor broken.	9
23	36	There were, however, though I could not conceive of how they could have killed her, five large round swellings on her body.	9
23	59	I found I did not even have to stop and search for the small signs I had scratched in the walls of the passages to guide my way for as I ran it seemed I knew each bend and turn of that passageway as though it had suddenly leaped alive flaming in my memory.	9
24	16	It lifted its hooked, tubular jaws before its eyes as though to shield them from the light.	9
24	22	It seemed to me most unnatural, as though the creature might have been a living rock, or a blind, carnivorous growth.	9
25	4	The Beetle wavered, its entire shell of golden, fused wings trembling, and it seemed as if those fused wings shook as though to separate and fly but they could not, and it pulled its head back under the shelter of the wings.	9
25	24	What approached was not another Golden Beetle, though I supposed there might have been several in those tunnels, but another inhabitant of those dismal passages, the whitish, long, slow, blind Slime Worm.	9
25	83	"Wake up!" I cried, but though her head jerked from side to side and my hand felt afire she did not regain consciousness.	9
26	26	She bit her lip and choked back a sob and stopped crying, though her eyes still brimmed with tears.	9
26	104	Vika looked up at him dully as though she could not comprehend what he had said.	9
26	126	"You can't leave me here, Cabot," she said, quite simply, as though very sure of it.	9
26	190	Terrified, she, as the expression is, knelt to the whip, assuming the position of the slave girl who is to be punished, her wrists crossed beneath her as though bound and her head touching the floor, leaving the bow of her back exposed.	9
26	211	Yet I knew that I would not weaken, though I was sorely tempted to believe that she might be trusted, that the feelings she expressed were truly those she felt.	9
26	231	Then to my amazement she smiled and wiped back a tear, and shook her head as though to throw the hair from her eyes and smiled at the foolishness of the gesture.	9
26	272	"I wanted to be free but I knew that you owned me—though you had not touched me nor kissed me—I knew that I was from that moment your slave; your eyes told me that I was owned and my most secret heart acknowledged it".	9
26	274	"I love you, Tarl Cabot," she said suddenly, and then, as though confused and perhaps a bit frightened, she suddenly dropped her head humbly.	9
26	280	Vika's eyes were worried and her hands moved as though she wanted to touch me through the plastic.	9
27	2	Though the time was now past the fourth feeding.	9
27	22	My thoughts wandered to Vika in her own case, though hers, unlike mine, was her prison.	9
27	70	The Priest-Kings stood motionless in great circling, tiered rows which spread concentrically outward as though from a stage in an ancient theater.	9
27	97	He took no more than a taste and the bowl, though the Feast of Tola was well advanced, was still almost brimming.	9
27	130	The scent-music suddenly stopped and the Priest-Kings seemed to rustle as though an unseen wind had suddenly stirred the leaves of autumn and I heard even the surprised jangling of those tiny metal tools.	9
27	136	He stood as though stunned.	9
27	174	Though the translator which still hung about Sarm's neck with the string of silverish tools was not turned on I would not have needed it to interpret the desperate odor-signal emitted by the First Born.	9
27	175	It was, indeed, though shorter and more intense, the first odor-signal that had ever been addressed to me, only then it had come from Misk's translator in the chamber of Vika.	9
27	212	His antennae peered down at me as though trying to recognize me.	9
27	301	When they made as though to inject her ancient body in what must have been yet another in a thousand times, she shook her antennae and warned them off.	9
27	317	The old frame shook, though whether with pain or sorrow, or both, I could not tell.	9
27	323	The withered antennae trembled, and the thin brown threads on them lifted as though stirred by a chill wind, the passing foot of mortality.	9
28	65	And there was, and in this case though it had been seared as if an attempt had been made to open it, I found Vika of Treve.	9
28	75	Yet as she stood there she seemed also to be frightened and to my surprise she dared not approach the door though it now stood open.	9
28	110	It was as though she begged to be allowed to lift and open her arms and rise and come to my arms.	9
28	155	"Yes," said one of the Pasturers, who held a pointed goad as though it might be a spear.	9
28	170	In the third week of the War, equipped with the armored transportation disks, we began to carry the battle to the forces of Sarm, though they still outnumbered us greatly.	9
28	173	For example, at different times, returning from a raid, perhaps bringing another captured silver tube, no longer needed by one of Sarm's slain cohorts, I would find myself unremarked even by Misk though I might stand but feet from him.	9
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...	9
28	223	I do not think force, or charge, or any of the other expressions which occur to one's mind is a good translation for Ur, and I prefer to regard it as an expression best left untranslated, though perhaps one could say that Ur is whatever it was that satisfied the gravitational equations of Misk.	9
28	228	When one lifts the craft it seems the earth moves from beneath one; when one moves it forward it seems as though the horizon rushed toward one; if one should place it in reverse, it seems the horizon glides away.	9
29	56	While they seemed to hang undecided in space, almost like puzzled cells in a droplet of water, I dove again, and the third ship broke apart as though it were a toy beneath a falling cutlass of fire, and I climbed once more, the flame of the silver tube stabbing ahead of me, hitting the fourth ship a...	9
29	81	Just as the three ships burst into the open of another huge complex I caught up with them and opened fire on the third ship but my fire seemed less effective this time and though I gave it a full burst the charging of the tube seemed at last almost exhausted.	9
29	142	Then, as though I were a pet Mul, the Priest-King extended his antennae toward me.	9
29	170	Though my finger was on the firing switch it lacked the strength to depress it.	9
30	11	"I am Tarl Cabot of Ko-ro-ba," I said weakly, as though to assure myself of my own identity.	9
30	16	Though I felt no pain nor any of the discomfort I would have expected, I now understood that these creatures had infused into the very tissues of my brain one of the golden control webs that could be operated from the Scanning Chamber of the Priest-Kings.	9
30	33	The thought of suicide has always horrified me, for life seems precious, and the mortal moments that one has, so brief a glimpse of the vistas of reality, it seems to me should be cherished, even though they might be lived in pain or sorrow.	9
30	93	Though her features were concealed in the folds of a silken veil and she wore the Robes of Concealment there was no mistaking her voice, her eyes, her carriage.	9
30	165	I learned from conversation in the headquarters room that not many of the humans who fought with Misk's forces had responded to the blandishments of Sarm, though some, like Vika of Treve, had deserted to cast their fortune with what appeared to be the winning side.	9
30	183	Let her think over that, I said to myself, think over that—Vika of Treve—Pet Mul! I found myself wanting to take her body in my arms and shatter it to my breast, forcing back her head, taking her lips in the kiss of a master as though I once more owned her.	9
31	6	But I knew that Sarm had no intention of keeping his part of the bargain, and that he intended to slay Misk, destroying hopefully thereby the effective leadership of the opposition, and then either keep me as a slave for Vika or, more likely, killing me as well, even though that might disappoint the...	9
31	18	How tender I felt toward the golden giant in that moment as I realized that he, though a Priest-King, had come to give his life for mine, simply because we had once locked antennae, simply because we were friends, simply because there was Nest Trust between us.	9
31	47	Then to my amazement Sarm turned and though I was but a human he fled from the plaza.	9
31	52	The Priest-Kings who had served him had, on the whole at least, believed that what they were doing was required by the laws of the Nest, but now with Sarm's disappearance Misk, though only Fifth Born, acceded to the title of highest born, and it was to him now, according to the same laws of the Nest...	9
31	112	In a few moments, though the disk was damaged by falling stone and I could barely see through the powdery drifts of rock hanging in the collapsing tunnels, I had come to the Power Plant and leaped from the disk and raced to its doors.	9
31	129	To one side, though I scarcely noticed it at the time, I saw a vague, domelike golden shape, one of the Beetles which, undoubtedly confused and terrified, had crept into the room of the Power Plant from the tunnel outside, through the door I had opened for Misk and his Priest-Kings.	9
31	145	Nothing from his position at the top of the globe, though it had been an ideal vantage point for firing the tube into the instrumentation.	9
31	163	The bladelike figure of the Priest-King seemed to waver on the walkway and the antennae seemed blown about as though by the wind.	9
31	198	The narcotic odor emanating from that lifted, waving mane shook even me though I stood in the midst of free air on the top of that great blue globe.	9
31	222	I knew now why it was that the Golden Beetles were permitted to live in the Nest, why it was that Priest-Kings would not slay them, even though it might mean their own lives.	9
31	225	Once, as though by some supreme effort of will, Sarm, who was a great Priest-King, lifted his head from the golden hair and stared at me.	9
32	203	Moving as though in a dream, my foot touching the ground only perhaps once in thirty or forty yards, I climbed the circling ramp upward toward the elevator.	9
32	207	It seemed I was trapped in the Nest, but then I noted, perhaps fifty yards away, a similar door, though smaller.	9
32	211	When the door opened I found myself once more in the Hall of Priest-Kings, though the great dome above it was now broken and portions of it had fallen to the floor of the hall.	9
33	4	The speed of our return journey was not due primarily to the fact that we were now on the whole descending, though this helped, but rather to the gravitational reduction which made it possible for me, Vika in my arms, to move with a swift disregard for what, under more normal conditions, would have ...	9
33	73	He jumped up once and came down, as though to illustrate a point.	9
33	122	Most who had returned from the Sardar would, eventually at least, I was sure, try to gain admittance in new cities, where they were not known, and attempt to work out new lives, as though they did not keep in their hearts the secret of the Sardar.	9
33	125	I had intended to make use of that moment myself, pretending to have come with a message from Priest-Kings, to encourage man to live as I wished him to live, to respect himself and others, to be kind and to be worthy of the heritage of a rational animal, and yet of what worth would these things be i...	9
34	2	"My father!" I rushed to the arms of Matthew Cabot who, weeping, caught me in his arms and held me as though he might never let me go.	9
34	109	I was pleased that she would go to Ar, where she, though a woman, might learn the craft of medicine under masters appointed by Kazrak, where she might found a new life for herself far from warlike, plundering Treve, where she might work as befitted the daughter of a skilled, courageous father, where...	9
34	125	For some unaccountable reason tears had formed in my own eyes, though I was a Warrior.	9
34	145	Though I had met them only for a moment in the shadow of the Sardar, we had renewed our affection and comradeship, one to the other, in the timeless instant of friendship.	9
35	143	But Misk stood, the wind whipping his antennae, as though he were exalted.	9
35	186	I laughed and the men looked at me as though I might be mad.	9

1	41	Even the autumn grass itself bent and shook in brown tides toward Turia, shimmering in the sun like a tawny surf beneath the fleeing clouds above; it was as though the unseen wind itself, frantic volumes and motions of simple air, too desired its sanctuary behind the high walls of the far city.	9
