Then as, with a cry of rage, she thrust at me, I took the spear from her grasp, disarming her, tossing it to one side. |
10 |
| 7 | 137 |
I also took the wallet of food, that which she had once tied about her waist. |
10 |
| 7 | 190 |
I took the child in my arms and walked down to the shore of the rence island. |
10 |
| 8 | 57 |
My feet were spread; my heels were aligned with the target; my feet and body stood at right angles to the target line; my head was sharply turned to my left; I drew the sheaf arrow to its pile, until the three half-feathers of the Vosk gull lay at my jawbone; I took breath and then held it, sighting... |
10 |
| 8 | 152 |
I took a length of marsh vine and bound her wrists behind her back, and then, with another bit of marsh vine, crossed and bound her ankles. |
10 |
| 8 | 195 |
I then took the helmet from my things on the rence craft, that without insignia, with empty crest plate, and lifted it until it cleared the side of the barge. |
10 |
| 8 | 228 |
I took up my shield. |
10 |
| 8 | 309 |
I then climbed aboard and walked back to the tiller deck, where I took my seat on the chair of the oar-master. |
10 |
| 8 | 327 |
I cut him free, and took him in my arms. |
10 |
| 8 | 381 |
I took the key and unlocked the shackles of the eel fisher and the peasant. |
10 |
| 8 | 432 |
Angrily I took again my seat on the chair of the oar-master. |
10 |
| 8 | 536 |
What could there be that could stand above the steel blade? Was not honor a sham, loyalty and courage a deceit, an illusion of the ignorant, a dream of fools? Was not the only wise man he who observed carefully and when he might took what he could? The determinants of the wise man could not be such ... |
10 |
| 8 | 573 |
Then, cruelly, I took her head in my hands and pressed my lips upon hers. |
10 |
| 8 | 625 |
At last, after I had well satisfied myself as to her quality, I took a bit of binding fiber that had fastened her ankles at the prow, and lashed her wrists together. |
10 |
| 8 | 635 |
I took again my chair, that of the oar-master, in this my domain. |
10 |
| 8 | 675 |
Thurnock then took the same long length of binding fiber, one end of which I had fastened about Midice's neck, and, without cutting it, looped and knotted it about the neck of the large, blond, gray-eyed girl, handing the coil then to Clitus, who indicated that the short rence girl should take her p... |
10 |
| 8 | 718 |
I took the key to the shackles of the barge slaves. |
10 |
| 8 | 779 |
To my amazement she slipped out of her rence cloth tunic and took a place behind the third girl in the coffle, the shorter rence girl, Ula. |
10 |
| 9 | 4 |
I took it from her, not even glancing upon her, and drained the goblet. |
10 |
| 9 | 19 |
I took it from her, again not seeing her. |
10 |
| 9 | 51 |
He took the cup in one hand, threw it down his throat, and carried the girl he had seized, screaming, into one of the alcoves. |
10 |
| 9 | 71 |
I took yet another swallow of paga. |
10 |
| 9 | 82 |
I took another sip of paga. |
10 |
| 9 | 123 |
I took another drink of paga. |
10 |
| 9 | 256 |
In the instant that our glances had met I had seen that she, whom I took as woman, would, if she had had the power, make men slaves, but in that same instant she had seen, in my eyes, that it was men who were the stronger, who held the power, and that it would be she, if any, who would be the slave. |
10 |
| 9 | 273 |
I threw a silver tarsk, taken from what we had obtained from the slavers in the marsh, to the proprietor of the paga tavern, and took in return one of the huge bottles of paga, of the sort put in the pouring sling, and reeled out of the tavern, making my way along the narrow walkway lining the canal... |
10 |
| 9 | 276 |
"I bring paga!" Thurnock took down the beams from the door, and swung it open. |
10 |
| 9 | 329 |
There were tears in her eyes as she extended her arms to me, and I took her into my arms and lifted her from her feet, turning and carrying her back to our quarters. |
10 |
| 9 | 455 |
I unknotted the binding fiber about her throat, and took from my pouch her collar. |
10 |
| 9 | 508 |
My steps took me again to the paga tavern where I had begun this night. |
10 |
| 9 | 521 |
I took my goblet of paga to a table and sat down, cross-legged, behind it. |
10 |
| 10 | 1 |
The Council of Captains I took my seat in the Council of the Captains of Port Kar. |
10 |
| 10 | 87 |
I took the green bars to symbolize the rence of the marshes, and the flag, thus, became that of Bosk, a Captain, who had come from the marshes. |
10 |
| 10 | 313 |
I took the note from the boy who appeared suddenly beside my chair. |
10 |
| 11 | 376 |
He took his sword from its sheath and plunged it through the scribe's papers, pinning them to the table. |
10 |
| 12 | 54 |
There, in the heat of a watch fire, I stripped away my clothes and took a cloak from Thurnock. |
10 |
| 12 | 64 |
I took another swig of paga. |
10 |
| 13 | 8 |
I took a longboat ashore, and sent the boat back to my galley. |
10 |
| 13 | 76 |
The girl, enraged, took again her seat on the dais. |
10 |
| 13 | 271 |
He then picked up his trident in his right hand and, not looking back, took his way from the slaves' wharf. |
10 |
| 13 | 392 |
We took up this beat, and again the Rena moved. |
10 |
| 14 | 72 |
Doubtless, from hold to hold, over the months, the word has spread that Bosk not only would not sink a round ship, but that, when he took one, he freed her slaves. |
10 |
| 14 | 196 |
As the beat dropped, I took out the glass of the builders and scanned the horizon. |
10 |
| 14 | 211 |
We took the fourth ship amidships, as we had the third. |
10 |
| 14 | 255 |
His oars took up maximum beat and his heavy ship, the crest of the ram dividing the water before the concave bow, the tarn's beak just below the water line, plunged toward us. |
10 |
| 14 | 317 |
I snapped shut the glass of the builders and, by means of a slender rope ladder fastened at the masthead and anchored to a cleat near the mast well below, took my way down to the deck. |
10 |
| 15 | 40 |
The wild crowds screamed and shouted, and threw flowers, and the flagship, oars dipping in stately fashion, took her regal path, ram's crest dividing flowers in the water, between the buildings lining the great canal. |
10 |
| 15 | 77 |
I took two talenders which had fallen on my shoulder and fastened them in the ropes at her neck. |
10 |
| 15 | 405 |
At last, bit by bit, as her fear and terror mounted, the men, fist by fist, took up the slack in the thongs that tethered her, until suddenly, they swiftly bound her hand and foot and lifted her over their heads, captured female slave, displaying her bound arched body to the tables. |
10 |
| 15 | 420 |
And I took her by the hair and held back her head, pouring the wine down her throat, some of it running down her face and body, under the slave collar and its bells. |
10 |
| 15 | 581 |
He took her by the collar and turned it slightly upward in his large hands, forcing her head up to face his. |
10 |
| 15 | 646 |
Enraged I took the bag of gold, what was left of it, and hurled it out into the hall, spilling a rain of golden tarn disks before it struck the tiles. |
10 |
| 15 | 797 |
I put out my hands and took her head in my hands. |
10 |
| 16 | 248 |
I took the rock. |
10 |
| 16 | 277 |
I took a silken cloth from the table. |
10 |
| 16 | 302 |
Then I took my seat in the longboat. |
10 |
| 16 | 359 |
I took my chair. |
10 |
| 17 | 123 |
In the basket I wrapped the admiral's cloak about me, began to chew on a piece of tarsk meat, as much against the cold as the hunger, and took out the glass of the builders. |
10 |
| 17 | 127 |
I uncorked the gourd and took some of the water. |
10 |
| 17 | 218 |
The other ships took their places in four lines behind the command ship of the reserves. |
10 |
| 17 | 255 |
I took the glass of the builders, and its strap, from my shoulder. |
10 |
| 17 | 261 |
The oar-master took the longboat's tiller. |
10 |
| 17 | 380 |
As one set of birds hovered over the deck and their men dropped to its planks, the birds darted away, and another set took their place. |
10 |
| 17 | 437 |
"Fight!" I drew on the one-strap and the tarn, against the wind, took flight and Chenbar of Kasra, Ubar of Tyros, the Sea Sleen, in the manacles of a common slave, swung free below us, helpless and pendant in the furies of the wind and the sleeting rain, the captive of Bosk, a captain of Port Kar, a... |
10 |
| 18 | 39 |
"Stroke! Stroke!" The beating of the copper drum of the keleustes took up maximum beat. |
10 |
| 18 | 57 |
I took off my admiral's cloak and threw it over the shivering bird. |
10 |
| 18 | 148 |
We took the shuddering bird down among the trees. |
10 |

He took her in his arms. |
10 |

10 |
