| 26 | 13 |
I turned and regarded her coldly. |
9 |
| 26 | 78 |
She turned away. |
9 |
| 26 | 83 |
At these words Vika suddenly turned to face me, desperately, her back against the plastic side of the case, the palms of her hands against it. |
9 |
| 26 | 157 |
"Cabot," she laughed, "please!" I turned to the Attendant. |
9 |
| 26 | 219 |
She turned to face me there, on her hands and knees. |
9 |
| 26 | 224 |
I turned the key in the lock and heard the firm, heavy snap of the mechanism. |
9 |
| 26 | 273 |
I turned to go. |
9 |
| 26 | 288 |
I turned to go. |
9 |
| 26 | 291 |
I briefly turned to face her again and almost unconsciously I kissed the tips of my fingers and pressed them against the plastic. |
9 |
| 26 | 301 |
I turned away, having more important things to attend to than the faithless wench from Treve. |
9 |
| 26 | 303 |
"If you wish," I said, and turned away. |
9 |
| 27 | 57 |
"Thank you, Noble One!" I cried and turned the transportation disk almost as if it had a vertical central axis and sped off. |
9 |
| 27 | 59 |
I quickly turned the disk down a side tunnel and began to hunt for a ventilator shaft. |
9 |
| 27 | 121 |
As it turned out later I was correct in this surmise and the moment of the ceremony is known as the March of the First Five Born, in which these five march abreast to the Mother and give her Gur in inverse order of their priority. |
9 |
| 27 | 129 |
She turned her face away. |
9 |
| 27 | 141 |
This time even before he was near her she again turned aside that ancient, brownish, discolored head. |
9 |
| 27 | 144 |
Slowly Sarm turned toward Misk. |
9 |
| 27 | 152 |
Sarm broke away and began to circle again, and Misk turned slowly, watching him, his antennae still flattened. |
9 |
| 27 | 170 |
Then, with a force that might have been that of clashing, golden glaciers, Misk's jaws tightened and turned and suddenly Sarm was thrown to his back beneath him and in the instant Sarm struck the floor Misk's jaws had slipped their grip to the thick tube about which hung the string of Tola's silveri... |
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 | 176 |
Had the translator been turned on, I would have heard "Lo Sardar"—"I am a Priest-King". |
9 |
| 27 | 179 |
Misk slowly turned away from Sarm and with slow, delicate steps approached the Mother, before whom he stood, great chunks of greenish coagulated body fluid marking the wounds on his body. |
9 |
| 27 | 194 |
Horror coursed through the ranks of the assembled Priest-Kings and their antennae waved wildly and their golden frames shook with rage, and hundreds of them must have simultaneously turned on their translators for I heard almost immediately from everywhere before me the contrastingly calm translatio... |
9 |
| 27 | 238 |
He turned to one of the closest Priest-Kings. |
9 |
| 27 | 244 |
He turned his translator down. |
9 |
| 27 | 265 |
Shaking with pain, his entire frame quivering, he turned to face me, but he did not approach. |
9 |
| 27 | 369 |
He turned to the Priest-Kings. |
9 |
| 28 | 69 |
I took the metal key from the loop around my neck and turned the heavy mechanism of the case lock. |
9 |
| 28 | 109 |
She knelt in the position of the Pleasure Slave but her hands on her thighs had unconsciously, pleadingly, turned their palms to me, and she no longer knelt quite back on her heels. |
9 |
| 28 | 111 |
But as I looked upon her sternly she turned her palms again to her thighs, knelt back on her heels and dropped her head, holding her eyes as if by force of will fixed on the plastic beneath my sandals. |
9 |
| 28 | 124 |
I turned and left the case and Vika, as was proper, fell into step happily two paces behind me. |
9 |
| 29 | 34 |
As I turned to go she lifted her hand to me. |
9 |
| 29 | 38 |
There was another groan from the man and the girl turned to comfort him. |
9 |
| 29 | 83 |
Then it seemed to come under control and turned like a cornered rat to face me. |
9 |
| 29 | 102 |
He turned and twisted but I kept with him, close, too close for him to use his disrupter cone. |
9 |
| 29 | 107 |
The ship above me seemed to tremble and tried to turn and flee and then sensing the futility of this it turned again and tried to train its own disrupter cone on its fellow. |
9 |
| 30 | 35 |
Kusk, who was a wise Priest-King and perhaps aware of the psychology of humans, turned to Parp. |
9 |
| 30 | 63 |
It turned out that Misk, not trusting Sarm from the very beginning, had prepared a disruption device which he would not have used had it not been for Sarm's employment of that devastating weapon. |
9 |
| 30 | 116 |
Vika turned with a swirl of her robes and left the headquarters chamber. |
9 |
| 30 | 128 |
Sarm turned a dial. |
9 |
| 30 | 147 |
I saw that Sarm had turned off the machine. |
9 |
| 30 | 153 |
Sarm then turned and left the headquarters room. |
9 |
| 31 | 26 |
I turned and I saw Sarm, his entire golden bladelike form convulsed with rage. |
9 |
| 31 | 47 |
Then to my amazement Sarm turned and though I was but a human he fled from the plaza. |
9 |
| 31 | 195 |
Then I too sensed it and I turned. |
9 |
| 31 | 232 |
The swollen, lethargic Beetle turned slowly to face me. |
9 |
| 31 | 237 |
I turned and retraced my steps down the walkway. |
9 |
| 32 | 16 |
I turned back only in time to see Misk leap from the panel and rush to the body of Sarm lying among the rubble. |
9 |
| 32 | 62 |
Al-Ka and Ba-Ta, as I would have expected, turned their ships over to others to pilot, for they would choose to remain in the Nest. |
9 |
| 32 | 184 |
Misk turned again to me. |
9 |
| 32 | 193 |
Misk turned and hurried off, followed by Kusk and the others. |
9 |
| 32 | 309 |
I set her down and Parp turned away, covering his face with his robe. |
9 |
| 32 | 325 |
He turned it suddenly and a jolt of fire that threw him five feet back into the cave leapt from that tiny instrument and the nearest larl suddenly reared, its paws lifted wildly, its fangs bared, its snowy pelt burned black about the hole that had once housed its heart, and then it twisted and fell ... |
9 |
| 32 | 337 |
Kneeling by the body she turned and looked up at me. |
9 |
| 33 | 50 |
He was, I gathered, correctly as it turned out, the High Initiate of Ar, he who had been appointed to fill the post of the former High Initiate whom I had seen destroyed by the Flame Death years earlier. |
9 |
| 33 | 162 |
The High Initiate of Ar turned to the other Initiates about. |
9 |
| 34 | 124 |
She smiled and turned away and my father gently put his arm about her shoulder and led her away. |
9 |
| 34 | 182 |
He turned and strode off, saying no more, Torm's chest and head sticking out behind from under his arm. |
9 |
| 35 | 164 |
Abruptly I turned from Misk and rushed down the hill, almost blindly. |
9 |
| 35 | 181 |
I lifted my arm in farewell to Misk, and, to the surprise of the men with me, Misk lifted one foreleg, and then turned and was gone. |

Once, long, long ago, Ko-ro-ba and Ar had turned the invasion of the united Wagon Peoples from the north, and the memories of these things, stinging still in the honest songs of camp skalds, would rankle in the craws of such fierce, proud peoples. |

9 |

The wagon itself was the largest in the camp, and the largest wagon I had conceived possible; actually it was a vast platform, set on numerous wheeled frames; though at the edges of the platform, on each side, there were a dozen of the large wheels such as are found on the much smaller wagons; these... |

9 |

She had misjudged the heartbeat or had not understood the swiftness of the kaiila, never having before observed it from the unenviable point of view of a quarry, because when she turned to see if her hunter had left the vicinity of the circle, he was upon her and as she cried out the bola struck her... |
9 |
| 8 | 371 |
The girl turned her head to one side, shuddering in the thongs. |

I and all others turned our eyes to a wide, swirling marble stairway in the back and to the left of the lofty banquet hall in the house of Saphrar the merchant. |
9 |
| 9 | 211 |
Kamchak turned to the small, fat merchant and his scarred, furrowed face broke into a grin, bearing down on the round, pinkish face of the merchant. |
9 |
| 9 | 213 |
"Very well," snapped Saphrar, "then you will not obtain the woman—I shall see to that—and somehow I shall have the sphere—understand that!" Kamchak now turned to watch Aphris of Turia. |
9 |
| 9 | 235 |
She turned to Kamchak. |
9 |
| 9 | 242 |

9 |

9 |

Aphris now turned to me. |
9 |
| 9 | 286 |
The girl laughed merrily once more and turned to Kamchak. |
9 |
| 9 | 320 |
Aphris then turned to Saphrar. |
9 |
| 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. |

At the height of one of her dances, called the Dance of the Tuchuk Slave Girl, Kamchak turned to Aphris of Turia, who was watching the dance, eyes bright, as astounded as I at the savage spectacle. |

There was a firm snap of the heavy lock in the back of the collar and the throat of Aphris of Turia had been encircled with slave steel! At the same instant Kamchak lifted her startled to her feet and turned her to face him, with both hands tearing the veil from her face! Then, before any of the sta... |

9 |
| 10 | 93 |

He even reeled about roaring as though he were drunk and slapped the wheel of a neighbor's wagon for a minute or two until his laughter turned into spasmodic gasps and, making strange noises, he wheezingly fought to get a mouthful or two of air under his shaking ribs. |
9 |
| 10 | 328 |
"Sleen! Sleen!" Kamchak roared with laughter and turned the kaiila away. |
9 |
| 10 | 391 |
Then he turned to the judge. |
9 |
| 10 | 482 |
He then turned to Kamchak. |
9 |
| 10 | 519 |
I turned to the judge. |
9 |
| 10 | 544 |
Kamchak turned to see what I had in mind and to his great good fortune, as he did so, the sun flashed from the blade into the eyes of Kamras, who suddenly threw his arm up, blinking and shaking his head, for the instant blinded. |
9 |
| 10 | 588 |
Then he turned and advanced to the stake of Aphris of Turia, who stood there, her wrists bound in steel, regarding him, speechless with horror. |
9 |
| 11 | 11 |
"Slave girl! Slave girl!" She then turned and strode away, looking for warriors of the Kassars. |
9 |
| 11 | 21 |
I turned to see, only a few feet away, on the shoulders of slaves standing on the bloodied sand, the open, bejeweled, cushioned palanquin of Saphrar of the Caste of Merchants. |
9 |
| 11 | 37 |
Aphris turned her head to Kamchak. |
9 |
| 11 | 44 |
Then she turned to Saphrar. |
9 |
| 11 | 75 |
He then turned to Kamchak, "What, Tuchuk, did you say her price was?" "I have lowered it," said Kamchak. |
9 |
| 11 | 87 |
She turned her beautiful head to stare at him, blankly. |
9 |
| 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. |
9 |
| 11 | 144 |
She turned her eyes on Elizabeth, whom she seemed to see then for the first time. |
9 |
| 11 | 168 |
Aphris turned to face him, fists clenched. |
9 |
| 11 | 172 |
She turned in fury and followed Elizabeth Cardwell away. |
9 |
| 11 | 174 |
This year, as it turned out, the Wagon Peoples had done exceedingly well in the games of Love War—a bit of news we picked up with the paga—and about seventy percent of the Turian maidens had been led slave from the stakes to which they had been manacled. |
9 |
| 11 | 285 |
Then she turned to Kamchak. |
9 |
| 11 | 294 |
Aphris turned white. |
9 |
| 11 | 303 |
Aphris turned again to face Kamchak. |
9 |
| 12 | 36 |
I turned and retraced my steps to the wagon of Kamchak. |
9 |
| 12 | 64 |
Elizabeth turned her head over her shoulder. |
9 |
| 12 | 280 |
I put the key in my pouch and turned my attention to the crowd. |
9 |
| 12 | 284 |
I turned to face Elizabeth. |
9 |
| 12 | 309 |
I held her by the shoulders and suddenly she turned herself in my hands and, as I was sitting cross-legged, threw herself on her back across my lap, her right wrist still chained to her left ankle. |
9 |
| 12 | 397 |
He turned the figure to him and, with both hands, brushed away hood and veil. |
9 |
| 12 | 404 |
The warrior then turned from her and held out one hand. |
9 |
| 12 | 416 |
She turned within the collar, as the Turian collar is designed to permit. |
9 |
| 12 | 433 |
At the exit he stopped briefly and, Aphris over his shoulder, turned and faced Elizabeth and myself. |
9 |
| 12 | 435 |
"For the night," he cried, "the Little Barbarian is yours!" Then he turned again and, singing, disappeared through the curtain. |
9 |
| 12 | 488 |
I gathered her into my arms to comfort her but she pushed me away, and turned and ran from the enclosure. |
9 |
| 12 | 506 |
He turned and ran, and I, drawing my sword, ran stumbling after him but in less than a moment or two I found my pursuit cut short by a string of tied kaiila being returned after having been released to hunt on the plains. |
9 |
| 13 | 156 |
The four haruspexes turned then, each one facing his own minor haruspexes and anyone else who might be about, and called out, "It is propitious!" There was a pleased cry at this announcement from the throng. |
9 |
| 13 | 187 |
I turned away. |
9 |
| 14 | 48 |
When we had passed through the ranks, which had remained still, those thousands of warriors simply turned their kaiila, the last of them now first, and followed us. |
9 |
| 14 | 84 |
He turned to face me. |
9 |
| 14 | 112 |
Kamchak turned and faced me. |
9 |
| 15 | 33 |
He turned to a subordinate. |
9 |
| 15 | 34 |
"Let the wagons be gathered," he said, "and the bosk turned from Turia". |
9 |
| 15 | 57 |
Since the death of Kutaituchik, Kamchak had turned ugly in manner. |
9 |
| 15 | 76 |
"There both of you will wait for the Iron Master," he snarled, and turned abruptly, and went to the stairs to the wagon. |
9 |
| 16 | 210 |
"Your fortunes turned," I said, "when you met that man?" "Decidedly," he said. |
9 |
| 17 | 40 |
Ha-Keel nodded curtly and turned abruptly and angrily strode from the room. |
9 |
| 17 | 63 |
I turned about, as well as I could, and examined the pool again. |
9 |
| 18 | 19 |
The quiva had turned itself in my hand and my arm flew back, that I might take with me in my death the tormentor, Saphrar of Turia. |
9 |
| 18 | 97 |
He fell back from my blade, turned once and fell into the glistening, living liquid of the Yellow Pool of Turia. |
9 |
| 18 | 98 |
I spun to face the Paravaci but he, weaponless, with a curse, turned and fled from the room. |
9 |
| 19 | 146 |
Harold turned to me. |
9 |
| 20 | 63 |
I turned and began to hack at the ropes that bound the swaying bridge to the tower. |
9 |
| 20 | 132 |
Harold turned to face me. |
9 |
| 20 | 144 |
The tarn did not move but, I thought, though it was undoubtedly not the case, turned and regarded him skeptically, reproachfully. |
9 |
| 21 | 23 |
Rank by rank the warriors on the kaiila, dour, angry, silent, turned their mounts away from the city and slowly went to find their wagons, save for the Hundreds that would flank the withdrawal and form its rear guard. |
9 |
| 21 | 25 |
He stayed there for some time, and then turned his mount away, and came slowly down the hill. |
9 |
| 21 | 248 |
"Run!" I kissed her savagely and turned her about and thrust her a dozen feet down the walkway inside the wall. |
9 |
| 21 | 249 |
She stumbled a few feet and turned. |
9 |
| 21 | 292 |
I barely turned a blade from my heart. |
9 |
| 21 | 310 |
They turned and ran from the gate. |
9 |
| 21 | 317 |
Each of the Hundreds that entered turned to its own destination, taking different streets and turns, some dismounting and climbing to command the roofs with their small bows. |
9 |
| 21 | 361 |
He turned his kaiila to face the city and it reared and he lifted his shield on his left arm and his lance in his right fist. |
9 |
| 22 | 99 |
"I am sorry," I said, and turned swiftly away, to enter the palace of Phanius Turmus. |
9 |
| 22 | 113 |
Kamchak turned to them. |
9 |
| 22 | 128 |
Kamchak turned and looked at me again. |
9 |
| 22 | 137 |
"He was my father," said Kamchak, and turned away. |
9 |
| 23 | 67 |
Our bosk horns rang out and my brave Thousand, worn in the saddle, weary, on spent kaiila, without a murmur or a protest, turned and following my lead struck into the center of the Paravaci forces. |
9 |
| 23 | 76 |
Thousands of animals were already turned toward the approaching enemy and beginning to walk toward them when the Paravaci suddenly realized what was happening. |
9 |
| 23 | 79 |
It was the vengeance of the bosk and the frightened, maddened animals thundered into the Paravaci lines goring and trampling both kaiila and riders, and the Paravaci who could manage turned their animals and rode for their lives. |
9 |
| 23 | 131 |
I turned and smiled at him. |
9 |
| 23 | 156 |
I turned to the men. |
9 |
| 24 | 44 |
I nodded curtly and turned and left the room, dismissed. |
9 |
| 24 | 58 |
I feared, of course, that this addition to our armament might hasten Saphrar's departure, but, as it turned out, it did not, perhaps because the first word Saphrar had of our intentions was the tumbling of dying tarns behind the walls of the compound. |
9 |
| 24 | 73 |
I turned to look at him. |
9 |
| 24 | 185 |
"But long ago," I said, "we turned you back". |
9 |
| 24 | 197 |
"It is," cried Harold decisively, "the side of a brick building!" I turned to look at him. |
9 |
| 24 | 199 |
By the time I had turned my animal and was racing after him he was almost a quarter of a pasang down the street, bounding over beams and rubbish, and litter, some of it still smoking. |
9 |
| 25 | 2 |
Within, a girl, across the wagon, beyond the tiny fire bowl in the center of its floor, standing on the thick rug, near a hanging tharlarion-oil lamp, turned suddenly to face me. |
9 |
| 25 | 30 |
She turned away, the chain moving with her. |
9 |
| 25 | 41 |
I reached over and turned the collar somewhat. |
9 |
| 25 | 52 |
I could hear the chain move as she turned to face me. |
9 |
| 25 | 56 |
I turned to face her and she put one hand before her face, the other holding the yellow sheet about her. |
9 |
| 25 | 415 |
I turned away. |
9 |
| 25 | 516 |
Then, her back still arched, with a half-smile, she stretched even more, and, as though weary, she slowly turned her head to one side, with her eyes closed, and then opened them and with a small, lazy motion of her hands threw her hair back over her head, and with a tiny motion of her head shook it ... |
9 |
| 25 | 562 |
