1 308 The ugliness of the crowd, its hostility, and such, was, I think, a function of recent events, which had precipitated confusion, uncertainty and terror in Ar, in particular the military catastrophe in the delta, in which action, absurdly, the major land forces of Ar had been invested, and the news t...

10
26 44 Bruno of Torcadino replaced the unsheathed sword which lay beside him, and resumed the oar.

10
26 57 I think that Bruno of Torcadino, assessing considerations, thought it best to do without the light.

26 74 "There it is, again," said Bruno of Torcadino.

26 81 Perhaps, I thought, it is just as well that Bruno of Torcadino had refrained from lighting the small lantern on the prow of the canal boat.
Details
10
26 83 "There is nothing here," said Bruno of Torcadino, at last.
Details
10
26 98 Bruno of Torcadino was bringing the small craft about.
Details
10
26 101 But scarcely had the small boat reached the wall of rence than Bruno of Torcadino's hand rested on the oar.
Details
10
26 106 I recalled Bruno of Torcadino had said that the marshes were dangerous.

10
26 108 "Something passed," said Bruno of Torcadino, "perhaps a large tharlarion".

10
26 114 "There is nothing here," said Bruno of Torcadino.

26 118 I turned about in the bow, to look back, past Bruno of Torcadino.

27 1 What Occurred by the Canal of the Sea Sleen "Palace Street is too open for what I have in mind," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
27 14 Mostly, after hobbling about a bit, scrutinizing passersby, Bruno of Torcadino would sit to the side by, or lean against, a domicile wall, that massive crutch at hand.
Details
10
27 21 Certainly I did not think that Bruno of Torcadino manifested the pathetic image of the plausible beggar.
Details
10
27 36 "Ah," said Bruno of Torcadino, looking to his right.
Details
10
27 48 As they approached, an unanticipated and radical transformation took place in the demeanor of Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
27 53 In the place of the handicapped Bruno of Torcadino, menacing and large, watchful and threatening, fierce with the great crutch, there now seemed something lost, needful, and pathetic.
Details
10
27 58 "She is dear to me, and who will care for me?" whined Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
27 60 "Pity, pity, have pity," begged Bruno of Torcadino, lurching forward another pace.

27 84 "She cannot speak!" said Bruno of Torcadino.

Details
10
27 88 Bruno of Torcadino put out his hand.
Details
10
27 91 Bruno of Torcadino reached out to retrieve the crutch, but the first man kicked it several feet down the walkway.
Details
10
27 137 As Bruno of Torcadino freed his crutch from the chest of the second man, the third man, in the moment, rose up, scrambled to the side, backed off, and drew a sword.
Details
10
27 138 No longer did Bruno of Torcadino seem cringing and weak, helpless and frail.
Details

27 142 "You may buy your life," said Bruno of Torcadino.

27 155 "But then," said Bruno of Torcadino, "I will not leave you yours".
Details
10
27 158 Will you follow me? Will you catch me? Will you run after me?" "I will not run after you," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
27 164 "As you wish," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
27 166 I wanted to cry out a warning to Bruno of Torcadino, but no sound could escape my lips.
Details
10
27 167 But Bruno of Torcadino's right hand had slipped under the half cloak he wore over his left shoulder, where, suspended by its strap, hung a short, wicked blade, his unsheathed sword.
Details
10
27 170 I had heard just one sound, a small, swift sound, bright and quick, when Bruno of Torcadino, fiercely turned, leaning on the crutch, parried the assailant's blade, following which he thrust.
Details
10
27 171 Bruno of Torcadino looked down, to his side, where his assailant lay on the walkway, clutching his throat, blood streaming, in gouts, a cup at a time, between his hands.
Details
10
27 173 Then the body at the feet of Bruno of Torcadino ceased to move, and the blood subsided.
Details
10
27 174 Bruno of Torcadino wiped his blade on the tunic of the fallen man and rehung it on its strap under his left arm.
Details
10
27 181 My collar read, "I am owned by Bruno of Torcadino".
Details
10
27 184 I became aware of Bruno of Torcadino standing over me.
Details
10
27 197 I then watched as Bruno of Torcadino, kneeling on one knee, in turn, beside each of the three men, gathered in the contents of the three purses.
Details
10
27 200 Bruno of Torcadino then, with foot and crutch, rolled the three bodies to the edge of the canal, and then, one by one, thrust them into the canal.
Details
10
28 1 What Occurred After the Business by the Canal I was in the apartment, the domicile, of Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
28 8 It was the evening of the day in which Bruno of Torcadino, at the edge of the Canal of the Sea Sleen, had recouped his finances.
Details
10
28 10 "I must plan," said Bruno of Torcadino, standing near the door, in a just-donned long cloak.
Details
10
28 14 Seldom did Bruno of Torcadino leave me alone.
Details
10
28 19 The door closed, and Bruno of Torcadino had left the domicile.
Details
10
28 22 It was not Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
29 18 This morning, at the Southern Gate, Bruno of Torcadino, I at his heels, leashed, and front-braceleted, had boarded a game ship for the Skerry of Lars, not really a skerry, but a small island five pasangs out in the Tamber Gulf, five pasangs beyond the laws of Port Kar.
Details
10
29 30 On the game ship, as it plied its way through the cold, choppy waters to the deemed "Skerry of Lars," I knelt at the knee of the seated Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
29 47 "Slave," whispered Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
29 56 For what else might I have been any good? So what then might be the connection or relationship between Bruno of Torcadino and Addison Steele? It did not seem to me that there could be such a connection or relationship, but yet it must somehow exist.
Details
10
29 62 How could Addison Steele be involved in so ugly, unworthy, and perhaps dishonorable, a project? How wrong I had been about him! And how I longed nonetheless for his touch, and the clasp of his arms! I must dismiss him from my mind! I would do so! I must! But Bruno of Torcadino, too, I was sure, desp...
Details
10
29 63 But now I must wonder if Addison Steele had abandoned the Lady Dorna of Tharna and her possible colleague, and had joined Bruno of Torcadino, or if he was feigning the service of each, thus betraying both.
Details
10
29 64 It did not seem likely to me that Bruno of Torcadino and the Lady Dorna of Tharna, and her possible colleague, would join forces.
Details
10
29 74 "Free! Consider that, and fume! So Bruno of Torcadino thought so little of me that he would not even charge a tarsk-bit for my use! And that arrangement was accepted without demure as appropriate by Addison Steele!" I hated men, and wanted to kneel before them, naked, in their chains, and gratefully...
Details
10
30 1 The Skerry of Lars; The Red-and-Yellow Enclosure; I Am Informed as to the Gambles of Blades Leashed, I heeled Bruno of Torcadino closely.
Details
10
30 4 But I feared Bruno of Torcadino had not come to this place to beg.
Details
10
30 26 Bruno of Torcadino stopped before more than one of these boards.
Details
10
30 29 Bruno of Torcadino passed these tables.
Details
10
30 55 Bruno of Torcadino took a seat on the lowest bench, and on one of the aisles.
Details
10
30 60 "There," said Bruno of Torcadino, gesturing up and behind us, to the side, "is the box for announcers and officials".
Details
10
30 62 "Presently," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
30 72 But Bruno of Torcadino seldom let me out of his sight.
Details
10
30 77 "That is Alan, of the House of Hesius," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
30 93 "You are smiling," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
30 138 "It begins," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 5 "She cannot speak," said Bruno of Torcadino, "but she begs".
Details
10
31 7 "What are you doing?" asked the fellow, for Bruno of Torcadino had lurched upward, bracing himself with the crutch, from the bench.
Details
10
31 8 "The "Challenge Matches" are nearly done," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 12 But Bruno of Torcadino had already accessed the steps downward, toward the sand.
Details
10
31 17 Then he added, "You are mad!" I did not fear that Bruno of Torcadino was mad.
Details
10
31 28 One seemed angry, very angry, perhaps thinking Bruno of Torcadino's presence mocked the games.
Details
10
31 31 Bruno of Torcadino held up a silver tarsk, which flashed in the sun, and then placed it on the judges' table.
Details
10
31 35 Bruno of Torcadino could no longer be dismissed.
Details
10
31 39 I knew that yesterday's looting had netted Bruno of Torcadino several coins, many of comparable value.
Details
10
31 49 Bruno of Torcadino seemed to slip for a moment, and then recover his balance.
Details
10
31 51 I would have been overcome with pity, save that I knew Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 62 The judge then turned to Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 63 "Do you find First Blood acceptable?" "Of course," said Bruno of Torcadino, as though gratefully.
Details
10
31 65 Bruno of Torcadino and the acceptor of his challenge, he now descended from the stands, and a second tarsk put beside the first, stripped away their garments to the waist.
Details
10
31 70 A second judge regarded the weapon of Bruno of Torcadino, uneasily.
Details
10
31 80 Scarcely had the bright note of the light hammer on the small bar rang out than Bruno of Torcadino apparently lost his balance and fell at the feet of the acceptor of his challenge.
Details
10
31 81 "First Blood," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 93 Bruno of Torcadino then hobbled, lurching, to the judges' table, and placed one of the two silver tarsks on the other.
Details
10
31 96 To speak briefly, four men, in turn, initially assured and eager, each confident, each intending to win several tarsks at the risk of one, such stakes generously granted, responded to the challenges of Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 99 Bruno of Torcadino was no longer a joke.
Details
10
31 103 Bruno of Torcadino went to the judges' table, and scraped his winnings into his purse.
Details
10
31 108 Bruno of Torcadino turned to face the newcomer.
Details
10
31 110 Bruno of Torcadino regarded the man, evenly.
Details
10
31 116 "Who is that man?" asked Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 119 "His name?" asked Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 121 "I may be able to make use of him," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 123 "How can I do that, if I am going to kill him?" asked Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 124 Silence divided the space between the judges and Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 126 "I shall not do so," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 128 "I do not advertise prowess," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 130 "Yes," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 131 A short time later Bruno of Torcadino joined me on the bench.
Details
10
31 134 Men drew aside now as Bruno of Torcadino passed amongst them.
Details
10
31 139 "Now," said Bruno of Torcadino, "our finances are repaired.
Details
10
31 147 Bruno of Torcadino nodded.
Details
10
31 151 "I do not teach," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 153 "And you yours," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 157 "Once I killed for sport," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 160 "Of course," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 162 "If you wish," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 166 "One must be ready," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 171 "Once," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 173 The blade was then returned, almost reverently, to Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 175 "I have watched your play, more than once," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 178 "Take your sword to Ar," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 182 "I wish you well," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
31 183 As the game ship, well oared, smoothly rowed, clove its way through the choppy waters toward the Southern Gate, Bruno of Torcadino spoke.
Details
10
31 194 I would then be free of Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
32 7 It was the evening of the day following our visit to the Skerry of Lars, in consequence of which Bruno of Torcadino had muchly repaired his fortunes.
Details
10
32 16 Then Bruno of Torcadino might have been detained and questioned, and I, pending the outcome of an investigation, could have been seized and returned to the security of my cage.
Details
10
32 22 It seemed much too early for Bruno of Torcadino to have returned from his venture to enlist cohorts.
Details
10
32 75 Why should one waste a slave, even one as miserable and worthless as you, a shallow creature extracted from a desecrated, unloved world? I have broken in, rudely, leaving blatant evidence of a forced entry, in order to convey to Bruno of Torcadino the impression that his premises have been violated ...
Details
10
32 79 Thus Bruno of Torcadino returns and finds you as he left you, chained to the ring, shackled and back-braceleted.
Details
10
32 85 I wish to induce a fear in Bruno of Torcadino that he may lose you, and even that others may be interested in your acquisition, either for the procuring of information, or, as in the case of the Lady Dorna of Tharna, the removal of a witness.
Details
10
32 88 "Bruno of Torcadino is an extremely intelligent and dangerous man," continued Addison Steele.
Details
10
32 92 "Bruno of Torcadino," said Addison Steele, "from your earlier disappearance and silencing, realizes his immediate competition in the hunt for Adraste is likely to be both sophisticated and formidable, and he also realizes that you can recognize them.

32 94 I am privy to some of the plans of Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
32 98 If one is on all sides, how can one help but be on the losing side, as well? Few people who knew Bruno of Torcadino, for example, I was sure, would have cared to betray him.

32 99 "Bruno of Torcadino," said Addison Steele, "tomorrow night, or the next night, or the next, sometime in the near future, depending on his success in gathering followers, plans an outing.

33 1 A Harrowing Night is Spent in the Marshes Bruno of Torcadino and I did not even have to lower our heads to pass under the chain at the Delta Gate.
Details
10
33 3 "These craft," said Bruno of Torcadino, "are well-woven, light, and sturdy.
Details
10
33 6 That afternoon, Bruno of Torcadino, at the market quay inside and near the Delta Gate, the Delta Market, had purchased a rence craft.
Details
10
33 10 How often I had hoped to flee from him! It was not merely that I was leashed, but, when passersby were about, or we forded crowds, a simple cry from Bruno of Torcadino, "Stop her," or "Running slave," or such, would have put a dozen men, swift, long-legged brutes, after me.
Details
10
33 16 Rencers commonly stand in them and pole them, but this was not practical for Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
33 18 The previous few nights Bruno of Torcadino had essayed this journey, as previously, in a canal boat.
Details
10
33 31 But Bruno of Torcadino, reasoning that the considerable damage done to the Delta Gate was a demonstration of power, and an invitation to parley or confer, reasoned further that a projected meeting point must be convenient to the city.
Details
10
33 40 I had made no effort, either by gesticulation or drawing, to convey to Bruno of Torcadino what I had glimpsed on our first trip into the marshes.
Details
10
33 45 Certainly I did not wish to intrigue Bruno of Torcadino, nor stir his curiosity, nor confirm his speculations.
Details
10
33 47 "We must be patient," whispered Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
33 53 I did not think Bruno of Torcadino's hires were now engaged in any activity.
Details
10
33 57 "Patience, patience," whispered Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
33 87 "Be absolutely still, do not move," whispered Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
33 106 It was Addison Steele! "Do not move," whispered Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
33 116 "Those are the sounds of the nesting marsh kite," whispered Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
33 122 "The signal has been answered," whispered Bruno of Torcadino, with satisfaction.
Details
10
33 132 "We must approach, we must hear," whispered Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
33 143 But it was unlikely the presence of Bruno of Torcadino had been anticipated, nor was it likely it would be welcomed.
Details
10
33 146 Very gently, I remaining still, Bruno of Torcadino moved our rence craft closer to, but to the right side and behind, the canal boat.
Details
10
33 188 Who knew what might note such things, what might lurk in the marshes? I recalled that Bruno of Torcadino had never entered the marshes in such a way.
Details
10
33 247 I sensed agitation in the rence craft, behind me, for Bruno of Torcadino, as I shall continue to refer to him, stirred, angrily.
Details
10
33 255 I was not pleased to hear this, as it suggested that the delta errands of Bruno of Torcadino, in which I perforce must accompany him, might have been remarked.
Details
10
33 291 "Ho!" cried Bruno of Torcadino, to my dismay, his voice ringing across the water.
Details
10
33 300 "Whatever vast intelligence resides within or speaks through the dreadful housing before me, know that I have long sought your acquaintance," called Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
33 309 I remembered he had some sort of relationship with Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
33 311 "Do not, mighty being, trust those of the sable caste," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
33 318 "We have much in common, mysterious intelligence," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
33 323 "Aim!" said the man in the boat, and I saw the crossbows of his followers align themselves, most on Bruno of Torcadino, two upon me.
Details
10
33 343 "I work for myself, and have no colleagues," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
33 345 In any event, I feared that Bruno of Torcadino had made a false move.
Details
10
33 347 "They are ignorant of the purport of their fee," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
33 349 "Nothing, of course," said Bruno of Torcadino, "other than the redemption of my name and the glory of contributing to so noble an end".
Details
10
33 351 "Yes," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
33 358 I heard the cry "Fire!" almost at the same moment that Bruno of Torcadino capsized the tiny rence craft and plunged us both into the water.
Details
10
33 359 There was a mad, incomprehensible moment in which the cold water of the marsh swirled about me and Bruno of Torcadino disappeared.
Details
10
33 365 I was standing! The water was only to my waist! I saw no sign of Bruno of Torcadino, and I saw no sign of the metal monster, so like an aquatic tharlarion.
Details
10
33 375 Again I saw nothing of Bruno of Torcadino nor of the metallic monstrosity which had been visible but moments ago.
Details
10
33 430 "What of he who named himself Bruno of Torcadino?" demanded Pa-Kur of his men, who were now muchly returned to the canal boat.
Details
10
33 463 "She will know the habits and haunts of Bruno of Torcadino," said Pa-Kur.
Details
10
33 493 I feared for Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
33 508 Why then, if its aim was so exalted and its ideals so high, was it so dreaded, feared, and shunned? "Bruno of Torcadino," said Pa-Kur, "has intruded into matters beyond his ken.
Details
10
33 520 "Now, pretty kajira," said Pa-Kur, "you will tell us all you know of Bruno of Torcadino, his true identity, his antecedents and background, his Home Stone, his caste, his past, his business in Port Kar, his plans, how he came to the marshes tonight, what he was looking for, and what he might know of...
Details
10
33 670 I supposed that Bruno of Torcadino had perished in the marsh.
Details
10
34 38 My hands were then fastened behind my back in slave bracelets, and the leash of Bruno of Torcadino, which had been wrapped about my collar, was unwound, and I was led to the Golden Chain.
Details
10
34 39 I had muchly feared they would read the collar, the leash unwound, which identified me as the property not of the Golden Chain, but of Bruno of Torcadino, but they did not do so.
Details
10
34 41 "Yes, Master," I said, "to the one-legged man, he who calls himself Bruno of Torcadino".
Details
10
34 43 I no longer wore the collar of Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
34 44 Shortly after I had arrived at the Golden Chain, the Golden Chain's collar had been placed on my neck and Bruno of Torcadino's collar had been removed.
Details
10
34 47 "Bruno of Torcadino bought me," I said.
Details
10
34 80 "Where is Bruno of Torcadino?" asked Ho-Tosk.
Details
10
34 89 "It is not clear that Bruno of Torcadino perished in the marshes," said Ho-Tosk.
Details
10
40 335 I was now reasonably sure that Adraste was not the former Lady Julia Leta of Ar, given my adventure in the delta as the slave of he who spoke of himself as Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
41 193 It was Addison Steele! Why was I startled? Was it not to be expected? Was he not a minion of Pa-Kur? Had he not been present, in the retinue of Pa-Kur, at the interview with the metal monster in the marshes? Had he not been present in the apartment of Dorna the Proud, an ally of Pa-Kur, when I had b...

10
42 149 It was Vas of Anango, and I recalled that Bruno of Torcadino had said that he might have use for him, and that he had intended to recruit men in Port Kar.
Details
10
42 150 A moment later I was startled to see Bruno of Torcadino himself.
Details
10
42 152 Bruno of Torcadino's sword was bloodied.

47 210 "Long I thought you a duplicitous mercenary, pretending to serve two competitors, Seremides, whom I then knew as Bruno of Torcadino, and Pa-Kur," I said.
Details
10
47 280 "He was originally allied with Seremides, whom I knew as Bruno of Torcadino," I said.
