The rider who had made the unsatisfactory thrust suddenly whirled the kaiila toward the girl, and she fell to her knees, realizing she should not have revealed her pleasure at his failure, putting her head to the grass. |
10 |

As soon as Kamchak had agreed to Albrecht's proposal the children and several of the slave girls immediately began to rush toward the wagons, delightedly crying, "Wager! Wager!" Soon, to my dismay, a large number of Tuchuks, male and female, and their male or female slaves, began to gather near the ... |
10 |
| 8 | 321 |
Indeed she did, but in an instant I saw the leather flash of the bola, with its vicious, beautiful almost ten-foot sweep, streak toward the girl's ankles, and I saw her fall. |
10 |
| 8 | 338 |
To my dismay, as he returned racing toward the circle of the boskhide whip the girl, a fine wench, managed to sink her teeth into the neck of the kaiila causing it to rear squealing and hissing, then striking at her. |
10 |
| 8 | 474 |
To my amazement, as I swung the bola in ever faster circles, never taking my eyes off her, she broke the straight running pattern only about fifty yards from the whip circle, and began to dodge, moving always, however, toward the lance. |
10 |
| 8 | 477 |
As the judge counted aloud I observed the pattern, two left, then a long right to compensate, moving toward the lance; two left, then right; two left, then right. |
10 |

"Tomorrow the herds will move toward Turia". |
10 |
| 9 | 204 |
I barely noticed, as Aphris of Turia made her way toward the head of the table, that she did not speak to nor acknowledge in any way any of the women present, though their robes suggested they must be of wealth and position. |
10 |
| 9 | 326 |
"The others," ordered Aphris, "—for the amusement of our guests!" The Feast Steward turned a wary eye toward Saphrar, who, defeated, nodded his head. |
10 |
| 10 | 152 |
"I saw you put her on your kaiila and ride toward Turia," he said. |
10 |
| 10 | 155 |
"And I know that you liked her—that you would not wager for her—and," he added, nodding toward the pouch at my belt, "your pouch is no heavier now than when you left". |
10 |
| 10 | 313 |
Kamchak was working his kaiila through the crowd toward the first stake. |
10 |
| 10 | 343 |
The key to the rings hung, of course, on a small hook toward the top of the stake; it was about two inches above her head. |
10 |
| 10 | 570 |
Then, foot by booted foot, Kamchak advanced toward him. |
10 |
| 11 | 83 |
"I do not speak to slaves," said he, and the merchant, on the palanquin, moved away toward the walls of distant Turia. |
10 |
| 11 | 120 |
"What were you?" Then he turned his kaiila suddenly toward them and they would break and run screaming and laughing and then, like a flock of birds, take up once more the pursuit. |
10 |
| 11 | 397 |
I saw her eyes furtively dart toward the kaiila saddle with its seven quivas. |
10 |
| 11 | 401 |
"Do you not recall," asked Kamchak, "what I then said to you—what I said at that time?" "No!" cried the girl leaping up, but Kamchak had jumped toward her, scooped her up and threw her over his shoulder. |
10 |
| 13 | 88 |
"No!" But Kamchak was pulling her by the bracelets toward an empty sleen cage mounted on a low cart near the wagon, into which, still braceleted, he thrust her, then closing the door, locking it. |
10 |
| 13 | 169 |
I could now see the other haruspexes of the peoples pouring with their animals toward the altars. |
10 |
| 13 | 179 |
It was toward dark when Kamchak and I reached the slave wagon to buy our bottle of paga. |
10 |
| 14 | 7 |
Kamchak and I mounted the kaiila we had ridden and, as rapidly as we could, pressed through the throngs toward our wagon. |
10 |
| 14 | 17 |
Kamchak took her roughly by the arm and shoved her stumbling toward the sleen cage where, holding the bars, frightened, knelt Elizabeth Cardwell. |
10 |
| 14 | 27 |
Then he bounded from the top step of the wagon onto the back of his kaiila and sped toward the sound of the bosk horns. |
10 |
| 14 | 43 |
In the distance we heard a sound like a thunder of wings and then, against the three white moons of Gor, to my dismay, we saw tarnsmen pass overhead, striking toward the camp. |
10 |
| 14 | 47 |
In an instant we were hurtling through ranks of men back toward the camp. |
10 |
| 14 | 54 |
They must be mercenaries! Kamchak did not return to his own wagon but now raced his kaiila, followed by a hundred men, toward the high ground on which stood the standard of the four bosk horns, on which stood the huge wagon of Kutaituchik, called Ubar of the Tuchuks. |
10 |
| 15 | 49 |
Already the herds had been eased westward, away from Turia toward Thassa, the distant sea. |
10 |
| 17 | 86 |
It was almost as if it were lower in the center and the edges higher near the marble basin, inching as high as they could toward our sandals. |
10 |
| 17 | 97 |
It became deeper toward the center. |
10 |
| 17 | 98 |
About a third of the way toward the center I was entered into the pool to my waist. |
10 |
| 18 | 11 |
I moved toward it again, and again it did this. |
10 |
| 18 | 36 |
Indeed, it was even lower toward the edge now, and had humped itself in my vicinity, as though in time it might climb my body and, in some hours perhaps, engulf me. |
10 |
| 18 | 43 |
Each inch I moved toward the center of the pool my journey became easier. |
10 |
| 18 | 48 |
As it had risen toward the surface, just beneath which it now rested, its pigmentation had changed from a luminescent white to a rather darkish gray. |
10 |
| 18 | 56 |
By the time I had reached the level of my waist on the opposite side I could, once again, no longer move toward the edge of the pool. |
10 |
| 18 | 61 |
Quiva in my teeth I dove toward the deepest part of the Yellow Pool of Turia, where glowed the quickness and substance of the living thing in which I swam. |
10 |
| 18 | 74 |
Standing now on the high, humped dried thing—lofty on that protective coating—I leaped easily up and seized one of the low hanging vines and climbed rapidly toward the blue ceiling of the chamber. |
10 |
| 20 | 57 |
Two swordsmen now rushed from the building, leaping over the fallen crossbowman, and raced along the bridge toward me. |
10 |
| 20 | 61 |
Now I could see several more guardsmen rushing toward the bridge. |
10 |
| 20 | 161 |
This, I knew, was the morning on which the wagons moved away from Turia, toward distant Thassa, the Sea. |
10 |
| 21 | 49 |
As I hobbled through the city of Turia, one eye half shut, staring at the street as though I hoped to find a lost copper tarn disk among the stones, I made my way toward the compound of Saphrar of Turia. |
10 |
| 21 | 104 |
The street was deserted save for a girl, who was standing below, looking up toward the roof. |
10 |
| 21 | 276 |
"My name," he said, "is Harold—of the Tuchuks!" There was now screaming on the walls, the rushing of guardsmen toward the wagon. |
10 |
| 21 | 279 |
Two men leaped toward him with swords drawn and I leaped in front of him and engaged them, dropping one and wounding the other. |
10 |
| 22 | 124 |
But Kamchak was looking away disconsolately toward the rug before the throne, now stained with spilled beverages, cluttered with the thrown garbage of the feast. |
10 |
| 23 | 5 |
Harold and I, mounted on kaiila, raced toward these wagons. |
10 |
| 23 | 6 |
Thundering behind each of us was a Thousand, which would continue on toward the main Tuchuk encampment, several Ahn away. |
10 |
| 23 | 66 |
Raising my arm and shouting, I led the Thousand toward them, hoping to catch them before they could form and charge. |
10 |
| 23 | 75 |
Once again our bosk horns sounded and this time my Thousand began to cry out and jab the animals with their lances, turning them toward the Paravaci. |
10 |
| 24 | 4 |
Some Ahn after departing from the Tuchuk camp I encountered the wagon that carried my tarn, and its guard, still advancing toward the camp. |
10 |
| 24 | 23 |
Kamchak's forces, on the whole, were so disposed as to push the Turians toward two gates which he had left open and undefended, thus providing a route of escape for civilians and soldiers who would make use of it. |
10 |
| 24 | 26 |
The time of the year was the late spring and the prairie's climate was not unkind, though occasionally long rains must have made the lot of the refugees fleeing toward other cities miserable. |
10 |
| 24 | 141 |
"You would have found out long ago," said Harold, "had you not rushed off to Turia again immediately after our return—when the wagons were moving toward Ta-Thassa. |
10 |

His kaiila sprang from the room, bounding across the carpet in the next hall, and then thudding down a corridor toward the main entrance. |
10 |
| 24 | 179 |
"Very well," I said, and we walked our kaiila at a stately pace toward Turia's main gate. |
10 |
| 24 | 198 |
"I accept your wager," he cried, kicking his kaiila toward the main gate. |
10 |
| 25 | 166 |
"Yes, yes," I said, and stumbled as I went toward her. |
10 |
| 25 | 212 |
"Drink your wine," I said, pushing the bowl in her hands toward her. |
10 |
| 25 | 244 |
"Can it be," she asked, "that the commander of a Tuchuk Thousand does not know what to do with a girl such as I?" I reached toward her, to take her into my arms, but I found the bowl of wine in my way, deftly so. |
10 |

It was well toward morning, and he was nearly asleep, when he felt them against him, their cheek pressed against his thigh. |
10 |
| 26 | 43 |
Very high in the sky, no more than a small speck, speeding toward the compound of Saphrar from the direction of the tower I believed held by Ha-Keel, we saw a tarn. |
10 |
| 26 | 94 |
Slowly, at a walk, he rode toward the main gate of the compound. |
10 |
| 26 | 103 |
Then he gently moved his kaiila toward the main portal. |
10 |
| 26 | 336 |
Slowly, not hurrying, in his boots he tramped across the rug, toward the sound. |
10 |
| 26 | 527 |
"It will soon be time to hunt tumits," growled Kamchak, looking off across the grass toward the wagons beyond the walls. |
10 |
| 26 | 529 |
"The tumits run best this time of year rather toward the Cartius," observed Kamchak. |
10 |
| 26 | 570 |
I leaped from the back of the kaiila and ran toward the wagon and the girl waiting there cried out with joy and ran to me and I swept her into my arms and our lips met and she wept, "You are safe! You are safe!" "Yes," I said, "I am safe—and you are safe—and the world is safe!" At the ... |

| 8 | 118 |
I heard men running from both sides toward the place from which came the cries of the slaves. |
10 |
| 9 | 48 |
The fierce fellow, bearded, narrow-eyed, missing an ear, who seemed to be the leader of these men, seized one of the paga girls, twisting her arm, dragging her toward one of the alcoves. |
10 |
| 9 | 53 |
Other men, of those with Surbus, seized what paga girls they could, and what vessels of the beverage, and dragged their prizes toward the alcoves, sometimes driving out those who occupied them. |
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 |
| 11 | 5 |
Feet were pounding toward the great double door, leading to the hallway beyond, leading out to the tiled piazza fronting on the hall of the council. |
10 |
| 11 | 17 |
A small fire was burning to one side, where a lamp with candle had been knocked to the floor, in the rush toward the door. |
10 |
| 11 | 34 |
I turned and, step by step, carrying the great table, advanced toward the large door leading to the hallway. |
10 |
| 11 | 82 |
Slowly, moving smoothly, their oars dipping in rhythm, from various sides, we saw tarn ships moving toward the hall of the council. |
10 |
| 11 | 93 |
I could see, even at the distance, leaping from the prow of the ship to the tiles of the piazza, running across the large, oblique-looking, colored squares toward the Hall of the Council of Captains, the great Thurnock, with his yellow bow, followed by Clitus, with his net and trident, and by Tab, w... |
10 |
| 11 | 294 |
He gestured toward the other racks. |
10 |
| 12 | 11 |
Slowly they made their way toward the edge of the canal. |
10 |
| 12 | 19 |
I, followed by Clitus and Thurnock, and others, leaped over the wall and ran toward the edge of the canal. |
10 |
| 12 | 25 |
The four men now turned and began to run back toward the postern gate. |
10 |
| 12 | 32 |
Already I could see the sleek, wet muzzles of urts, eyes like ovals of blazing copper, streaking through the dark waters toward the bag. |
10 |
| 13 | 87 |
I nodded my head toward Lurius, swollen in the chair of the Ubar of Cos. |
10 |
| 13 | 296 |
The eyes of the ship, painted on either side of the bow, would now have turned toward the opening of the harbor of Telnus. |
10 |
| 13 | 307 |
Slowly the ship, like a sweet, fat bird, heavy and stately, began to move toward the opening between the two high, round towers that guard the entrance to the walled harbor of Telnus, capital city of the island of Cos, seat of its Ubar's throne. |
10 |
| 13 | 397 |
He came toward me. |
10 |
| 14 | 35 |
These benches are not perpendicular to the bulwarks but slant obliquely back toward the stern castle. |
10 |
| 14 | 91 |
Then, rather bravely, the music drifting over the water, our oars at only half of maximum beat, we moved across the gleaming waters toward the large fleet. |
10 |
| 14 | 107 |
Then, when I saw the perimeter ships of the treasure fleet swinging about toward me, I motioned for the musicians to discontinue their performance. |
10 |
| 14 | 189 |
We saw the ship ahead of us trying to come about, but, before she could make four points of the Gorean compass, our ram struck the corner of her stern, skidding through and freeing itself, the ships, the Dorna's port oars inboard, grating together, and then the Dorna was clear, free, and we were dri... |
10 |
| 14 | 191 |
It, too, began to come about, and we caught her amidships, the ram thrusting through the heavy planking like kindling, then stopped by the shield, like a spread tarn's crest, and we chopped our way back and free, and then knifed past her stern toward the next two ships. |
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 | 270 |
I saw him turn slowly toward Cos. |
10 |
| 14 | 294 |
Five of these search ships I sent in a net formation toward Cos, supposing this the most likely, if not the most wise, course that would soon be taken by the majority of the escaping round ships. |
10 |
| 15 | 627 |
"Hail Bosk! Hail Bosk, Admiral of Port Kar! Hail Bosk, Admiral of Port Kar!" I heard a cry, as of fear, from my right, and I turned to stare drunkenly toward the end of the table. |
10 |
| 15 | 650 |
Stumbling, crying out in rage, I staggered toward my quarters. |
10 |
| 15 | 850 |
I sensed her turn and move toward the door. |
10 |
| 16 | 298 |
The tharlarion head of the craft turned toward the canal gate. |
10 |
| 16 | 309 |
The ship nosed through the canals of Port Kar toward the hall of the Council of Captains. |
10 |
| 16 | 342 |
Even before the man in the bow had tied the tharlarion-prowed longboat to a mooring post at the piazza, I had leaped up to the tiles and was striding, robes swirling, across the squares of the broad piazza toward the great door of the hall of the Council of Captains. |
10 |
| 17 | 43 |
The original pairs, of the fifty sets of sixteen tarn ships, after cutting the line and fighting, would, if possible, regroup with their sixteen and recut the line again, this time moving toward Port Kar, and repeat these tactics. |
10 |
| 17 | 78 |
Accordingly I hoped the tarn ships of Cos and Tyros, seeing the sails, would think their new enemies were single-masted round ships, of which there are some types, and either misjudge their speeds or rush on them unwarily, finding out, too late, that they were plunging headlong toward swift, maneuve... |
10 |
| 17 | 134 |
It was the latter sail which, although it was unusual, the round ships were using for tacking; had they used either of the larger sails, with the sharp wind, they would have heeled dangerously toward the water, perhaps shipping water through the leeward thole ports. |
10 |
| 17 | 138 |
I resumed my watch, lifting again the glass of the builders toward the west. |
10 |
| 17 | 141 |
Behind them, scattered across the cold waters of Thassa, I could see the pairs of the second wave proceeding, swiftly gliding, oars dipping, toward the long lines of yellow and purple sails in the distance, yellow for Tyros, purple for Cos. |
10 |
| 18 | 12 |
Men ran to signal ships among the reserves, that they might draw toward our engaged fleet, recalling it. |
10 |
| 18 | 31 |
The anchors were raised and the yard, on its ropes and pulleys, began to climb toward the masthead. |
10 |
| 18 | 106 |
I moved the blade toward the boy and he parried it. |
10 |
| 18 | 202 |
I kept, as well as I could, near the girls, that the backs of the men would be, in turn, kept toward the entryway. |
10 |
| 18 | 261 |
I took a step toward her. |
10 |
| 18 | 264 |
I took another step toward her. |
10 |
| 18 | 268 |
I took another step toward her and, wildly, she wheeled and, barefoot, fled stumbling down the passageway. |
10 |
| 18 | 612 |
As one their arrows leaped to the string, as one the great bows bent, and I saw Ho-Hak on the height of the wall bring down his arm with a cry, and I saw, like sheets of oblique rain, the torrent of gull-feathered shafts leap toward the keep. |
10 |
| 18 | 617 |
And now archers were running down the side walls, and leaping to other roofs, that every point at the foot of the keep might be within the assailing orbit of the string-flung missiles, and the girls, and the men, too, flung stones from the top of the keep down on the men trying to hide behind it, an... |

I must get away! I turned toward the forest, but its darkness frightened me. |
10 |

I turned away from the forest and began to run across the field, blindly toward the horizon, over the grass. |
10 |

It moved swiftly, delicately, almost daintily toward the ship and, bending down, disappeared inside. |
10 |

A blind, split, podlike head was moving toward me, lifting itself slightly from the ground, moving from side to side. |
10 |

Around me, soft, undulating, glistening with dew in the dim light, I could see nothing but grassy fields, seemingly endless fields, rolling and rolling, sweeping away from me on all sides toward horizons that might be empty. |
10 |

I ran down the hill, stumbling and laughing, toward them. |
10 |

Another two, flanking these, began to run toward the top of the hill. |

They swiftly led me, pulling me, not gently, down the hill between them, toward the group at the wagon. |

Two days out of Ko-ro-ba, crossing the fields northward toward Laura, the sky had darkened with a flight of outlaw tarnsmen, more than a hundred of them, under the command of the terrible Rask of Treve, one of the most dreaded warriors on all Gor. |
10 |
| 7 | 102 |
Fortunately, not more than two days after I had been added to Targo's chain, we encountered a caravan of bosk wagons, traveling southeast toward Ko-ro-ba from Laura. |
10 |
| 7 | 484 |
Once again I found myself, with the other girls, chained in our wagon, moving slowly across the Gorean fields toward Laura. |
10 |
| 8 | 8 |
Others, with nets, were moving down toward the water. |
10 |
| 8 | 24 |
The wagon began to tilt forward then and I knew we were moving down the slope toward the river bank. |
10 |
| 8 | 49 |
A broad, low-sided barge began to back toward the pier. |
10 |
| 8 | 81 |
There must be someone in Laura who could return me to the United States, or who could put me in touch with those who could! There were other barges on the river, some moving across the river, others coming toward Laura, others departing. |
10 |
| 8 | 95 |
The men did not even look at us, moving slowly across the current toward Laura. |
10 |
| 8 | 188 |
Then Targo and the one-eyed guard returned toward the stern of the barge, where two of the bargemen handled the great steering oars. |
10 |
| 8 | 218 |
He led them back toward the stern of the barge and onto the pier. |
10 |
| 8 | 220 |
The bosk, now, bellowing and snuffing, and scuffing at the wood with their hoofs, were being backed toward the harness. |
10 |

I suddenly realized, climbing the ramps of Laura toward the compound, leashed, under guard, carrying a jar of wine on my head, balancing it with my right hand, among my sisters in bondage, breathing the fantastic air of Gor, that I was happy. |
10 |

Then, suddenly, it gave a hideously terrifying roar and sprang toward the bars, its great clawed appendages grasping towards us, its huge, fanged hole of a mouth wild with its white traps of teeth, howling and hissing. |
10 |
| 8 | 782 |
I saw him disappear in the darkness, toward the wagons. |
10 |
| 8 | 837 |
What had we done? Ute pointed through the bars at one of the groups of wagons, some hundred yards from the compound, toward the forests. |
10 |
| 8 | 908 |
Ute and Lana sprang to their feet and raced toward the fire. |
10 |
| 8 | 911 |
"Oh!" I cried, in pain, and leaped to my feet, and ran stumbling toward the fire. |
10 |
| 8 | 913 |
Ute, Lana and I ran, laughing and stumbling, barefoot, squealing in protest, crying out in pain, through the darkness over the grass toward the fire. |
10 |

Then I heard the laughing of the men, and turned again toward the fire. |

Back away toward the compound, here and there on the meadow, I could see other fires, and clusters of wagons. |

His large head bent toward my throat. |

I shook my head, No! Without looking back she then strode, spear in hand, from the camp, toward the dark forests in the distance. |
10 |

The choke leash slid shut on my throat and, half strangling, stumbling, stripped and gagged, my hands bound behind my back, I was dragged after them, toward the darkness of the forest. |
10 |
| 9 | 120 |
One of the girls cried out and leaped toward me, the knife flashing in her hand. |
10 |
| 9 | 129 |
The girl, clad like the others in the skins of forest panthers, who had held my leash, and now again held it, she who had bound me, her sleen knife again in its sheath, thrust her face toward mine. |
10 |

He brought the match toward the cigarette, and I bent forward for the light. |

I screamed, thrust toward the wide, fanged jaws of the beast. |
10 |
| 10 | 637 |
Wildly the man bent down to the fire and picked up a piece of wood from the fire, burning, and thrust it toward the sleen. |
10 |

Then, with a cry of rage, it leapt toward the sleen. |
10 |

I, forgotten by the beast in its feeding, inched toward the door, and then, hearing the feeding of the beast behind me, fled, naked and bound, into the darkness. |
10 |

He clapped his hands and took a step toward me, and I turned and fled stumbling away again, hearing his laughter in the hallway behind me. |
10 |

The guard then looked toward Inge, within the cage, and, instantly, under his eye, she stood straight, exhibiting herself as I had, as a lovely stripped slave. |

I thrust my hand through the bars, toward him. |
