10 |
| 12 | 44 |
This alignment of the Ubara and Scribe did not frighten me. |
10 |
| 12 | 45 |
If he should be so foolish as to bring his Ubara to my Ubar's Builder One, it would be taken by my Builder. |
10 |
| 12 | 46 |
His Scribe could recapture but he would have lost his Ubara, and for only a Builder. |
10 |
| 12 | 51 |
"You could bring your Ubara over to your Ubar's Initiate Five, threatening the Rider of the High Tharlarion," I said. |
10 |
| 12 | 52 |
"But you would then retreat to your Ubar's Initiate Seven, the Rider of the High Tharlarion then protected by your Scribe at Ubara Two," he said. |
10 |
| 12 | 53 |
"This could immobilize the Ubara, while permitting you to maintain your pressure on the Ubar's Initiate's file. |
10 |
| 12 | 59 |
Ubar's Initiate Nine, that square from which I might effect capture of Home Stone, was now protected by his Ubara. |
10 |
| 12 | 67 |
"You may now protect your Home Stone," I said, "but only at the cost of your Ubara". |
10 |
| 12 | 98 |
Once he had put a Ubara en prise in a game with me. |
10 |
| 12 | 230 |
When I move him to Ubar's Initiate Nine you can prevent capture of Home Stone only by giving up your Ubara. |
10 |
| 12 | 236 |
He swept his Ubara down the board, removing the Spearman I had posted at my Ubar's Initiate Three. |
10 |
| 12 | 239 |
To be sure, his Ubara now threatened the Home Stone. |
10 |
| 12 | 242 |
"That move costs you your Ubara," I said. |
10 |
| 12 | 247 |
I removed his Ubara from the board, replacing it with the Spearman I had previously had at Ubar's Builder Two. |
10 |
| 12 | 249 |
I could not move the Home Stone to Ubar's Builder One because that square was covered by his Scribe at Ubara's Scribe Four. |
10 |
| 12 | 253 |
This was now possible, of course, because I had had to open that file, taking the Spearman from it to capture his Ubara, the move forced in the circumstances. |
10 |
| 12 | 263 |
I now began to suspect that what I had thought had been a rather weak, easily averted threat of capture of Home Stone, the earlier alignment of his Ubara and Scribe on that crucial diagonal, might actually have had a somewhat different, more latent, more insidious purpose. |
10 |
| 12 | 284 |
I now began to suspect that the placement of his Builder on that file might not have been an accident, no more than the rather irritating placement of his Scribe at Ubara's Scribe Four. |
10 |
| 12 | 303 |
I could not move the Home Stone to either Ubar's Builder One, Two or Three because of the coverage of these squares, all of them being covered by his Builder at his Ubar's Builder One, and Ubar's Builder One being additionally covered by his Scribe, that posted at Ubara's Scribe Four. |
10 |
| 12 | 314 |
"An elementary Ubara sacrifice," he remarked. |
10 |
| 12 | 324 |
"Are you sure the Ubara sacrifice was 'elementary,'" I asked. |
10 |
| 12 | 339 |
"That Ubara sacrifice was not really all that bad, was it?" I asked. |
10 |
| 12 | 345 |
Just as I had thought, that Ubara sacrifice had not been all that straightforward, or elementary. |
10 |
| 12 | 442 |
On that board, then, we might suppose, given its arrangement, that the square Ubara's Tarnsman Two might contain, say, the letter 'Eta. |
10 |

The player's move brought Temenides' Ubar's Spearman under immediate attack by the player's Ubara's Initiate. |

"A ubara?" I asked. |

"Why would one think of her in the terms of a ubara?" I asked. |

Even a captured ubara put up for sale would hear his call to the effect, perhaps to her fury, "How much am I offered for this girl?" Slaves, of course, soon become accustomed to being referred to as, and thinking of themselves as, girls. |

She had been restored to citizenship and some spoke of her, though in hushed voices, as a possible Ubara. |

"My master," she said, "is a kind, liberated, noble, enlightened master!

"I am Ubara of Ar!" "You would have us believe that Talena, the Ubara of Ar, is what we see before us, a mere sensuous tart in need of crass sexual relief, a mere chit who would condescend to keep a rendezvous so shameful as this?" I looked upon her. |

Gnieus Lelius, it seems, had been deposed, and Seremides, in a military coup he himself characterized as regrettable, had seized temporary power, a power to be wielded until the High Council, now the highest civilian authority in Ar, could elect a new leader, be it Administrator, Regent, Ubar or Uba... |

It was now some two months since the entry of Myron into the city and the subsequent triumph of Lurius of Jad, celebrated a day later in his name by Myron, the polemarkos, in which triumph he, Myron, acting as proxy for Lurius of Jad, was joined by Seremides and Talena, and several weeks after the a... |

The first performance of the pageant, several days ago, had been attended by Talena, the Ubara. |

It interested me that the Ubara, so popular in the city, presumably, should require so much security. |

"But to my Ubara," she said, "and to men of high station". |

This was done, and the woman was flung on her knees before the Ubara of Ar. |
10 |
| 9 | 171 |
"Mercy, my Ubara!" cried the woman, lifting her hands, clasped, to Talena. |
10 |
| 9 | 175 |
"Mercy, Ubara!" she wept, lifting her clasped hands. |
10 |

Why had we not adequately opposed him? Why did we follow his heinous policies?" "You opposed him, beloved Ubara!" cried a man. |

Thus I, too, am guilty!" Roars of protest greeted this remark on the part of the Ubara. |
10 |

"Are you not eager to atone for the crimes of Ar, to make amends for her iniquities?" asked the Ubara, kindly. |

"Desist, noble citizen! You speak of a free woman of Ar!" "Yes, my Ubara," said Lady Fulvia. |

10 |

"No, Ubara," she wept. |
10 |

Talena seemed then prepared to dismiss another woman, for she had her hand half lifted, as though, with the customary small gesture, to do so, when one of her counselors, a Cosian, near her, in the uniform of a high captain, bent quickly toward her, his eyes glinting on the female in question, she s... |
10 |

In what the Cosian had said to the Ubara I had made out the expression 'slave curves'. |
10 |

Then a slim woman took her place gracefully before the Ubara. |
10 |

She stood very straight before her Ubara, it seemed defiantly, it seemed insolently. |

"Who is your Ubara?" asked Talena. |
10 |

"You are my Ubara!" cried Claudia. |
10 |
| 9 | 458 |
"Talena of Ar is my Ubara!" This response on the part of Claudia seemed to me judicious, and, indeed, suitable. |
10 |
| 9 | 459 |
Talena of Ar was her Ubara. |
10 |
| 9 | 461 |
"Yes, my Ubara!" said Claudia. |
10 |

"And do you beg forgiveness of your Ubara?" asked Talena. |
10 |
| 9 | 463 |
"Yes, yes, my Ubara," sobbed Claudia. |
10 |
| 9 | 465 |
"I, Claudia Tentia Hinrabia, of the Hinrabians, beg forgiveness of Talena of Ar, my lawful Ubara!" she wept. |
10 |

"Talena, Ubara of Ar," announced a scribe, "will now pronounce judgment on the traitress, Claudia Tentia Hinrabia". |
10 |

"You, too, Talena of Ar, my Ubara," wept the Hinrabian, "would doubtless look well in the chains of men!" Men gasped, in fury. |
10 |

Men expressed approval of the decision of their Ubara. |
10 |

"It seems," said Talena to the woman, "that two years ago, in the great theater, you were overheard making a remark concerning your future Ubara, one in which you expressed disapproval of her restoration to citizenship". |
10 |
| 9 | 659 |
"Unfortunately," said the Ubara, "there is not enough for everyone". |
10 |
| 9 | 717 |
"Ubara?" he asked. |
10 |
| 9 | 725 |
"Forgive me, Ubara," said he, "if I have offended you. |
10 |

"I take no offense, of course," said Talena, Ubara of Ar. |
10 |
| 9 | 731 |
"Ubara?" he said. |
10 |
| 9 | 736 |
"Ubara?" he asked. |
10 |
| 9 | 748 |
"As is your prerogative, Ubara," he said. |
10 |
| 9 | 754 |
"Your vengeance on the Hinrabian is profound indeed, Ubara," he said. |
10 |
| 9 | 783 |
"Our thanks, Ubara," said he, "those of myself and my polemarkos, and, too, of course, those of our staff members, guards and accompanying officers". |
10 |

When I had threaded the chain back through the arms of Claudia Tentia Hinrabia, incidentally, I did not mention to her that she had been selected to entertain at a late supper to be given by Talena of Ar, her Ubara, in the room of the Ubar, in the Central Cylinder. |
10 |
| 10 | 15 |
At last, in view of the distinct unrest in the city, and the possible danger of riots and demonstrations, a communication was received from the Central Cylinder, jointly presented by Talena, Ubara of Ar; Seremides, captain of the guard; Antonius, executive officer of the High Council; Tulbinius, Chi... |
10 |
| 10 | 108 |
"There must be many in Ar who will have scores to settle with the Ubara," he said. |
10 |
| 11 | 73 |
"We obey our Ubara," said another. |
10 |
| 11 | 93 |
"Hail Talena, Ubara of Ar," I said. |
10 |
| 13 | 34 |
"The Ubara knows," he said, "and Seremides, and the polemarkos". |
10 |
| 13 | 165 |
Indeed, a small announcement had even appeared on the boards, in the name of Ubara herself, that slave girls should obey their masters and try to be pleasing to them. |
10 |
| 15 | 41 |
"The Ubara?" he asked. |
10 |
| 15 | 47 |
"She was in sandals," I said, "and was a hort taller than the Ubara". |
10 |
| 15 | 48 |
"You know the Ubara?" he asked. |
10 |
| 15 | 54 |
"What if she had been the true Ubara, and recognized you?" he said. |
10 |
| 15 | 56 |
It would not be the true Ubara". |
10 |
| 15 | 61 |
"There is growing hatred in the city for our darling Ubara". |
10 |
| 15 | 65 |
"But she is still Ubara," he said. |
10 |
| 15 | 107 |
"Such as the Ubara?" he asked. |
10 |
| 16 | 153 |
"And you further acknowledge that Seremides and the Ubara are traitors to Ar, and puppets of Cos?" "Of course," he said, after a moment. |
10 |
| 17 | 124 |
Indeed, even the Ubara herself, it seemed, had reaffirmed that slave girls should be obedient and try to please their masters. |
10 |
| 18 | 12 |
"I would not keep the stripped, lashed Ubara of a captured city chained in a kennel such as this," he said. |
10 |
| 21 | 72 |
I made known my errand, that I bore a private message emanating from the house of Appanius for the Ubara. |
10 |
| 21 | 76 |
However, to their surprise, I was to be permitted to enter the presence of the Ubara". |
10 |
| 21 | 77 |
"That the message might emanate from a particular person in the house of Appanius, and presumably not Appanius himself, who would not be likely to have any direct business with the Ubara," I said, "was what gained your admittance. |
10 |
| 21 | 78 |
The Ubara would suspect, and perhaps even hope, from whom the message might come. |
10 |
| 21 | 96 |
That would save them putting her in their own bracelets, before conducting her into the presence of the Ubara. |
10 |
| 21 | 110 |
On the other hand, in Lavinia's case, clearly the guards would not wish to risk her approaching the Ubara too closely, even back-braceleted. |
10 |
| 21 | 174 |
"Certainly," I said, "in such a place, in the presence of such a personage, the Ubara of Ar herself". |
10 |
| 21 | 191 |
"'The majestic and beautiful Talena,' I said, 'Ubara of Glorious Ar. |
10 |
| 21 | 228 |
I wondered if the Ubara could be taught slave dance. |
10 |
| 21 | 231 |
"'I should destroy this letter,' said the Ubara to me. |
10 |
| 21 | 237 |
I suspected that that letter was too precious to the Ubara for her to destroy it. |
10 |
| 21 | 258 |
'" I myself was wondering if the Ubara could be taught to writhe in chains, or to move on the floor in such a way, so prettily, that the master would not lash her for clumsiness. |
10 |
| 21 | 404 |
I was very much impressed with the wit and ingenuity with which Lavinia had conducted her interview with the Ubara. |
10 |
| 21 | 406 |
I had little doubt she had succeeded in deluding the Ubara. |
10 |
| 21 | 414 |
And I think not many would have cared to be that slave who found favor with Milo, at least if the Ubara were to learn of it. |
10 |
| 21 | 475 |
"I think she is a slave," said Lavinia, "but in the robes of a Ubara!" "Perhaps," I said. |
10 |
| 21 | 481 |
"Apparently the Ubara is eager," I said. |
10 |
| 21 | 492 |
She was more beautiful than I had imagined! She was more beautiful than I could have dreamed! She was utterly beautiful!" "Much was doubtless a function of the context," I said, "she in the robes and veils, so colorful and resplendent, and silken, and being Ubara, and you on your knees before her, m... |
10 |
| 21 | 505 |
"Master knows the Ubara?" she asked, in awe. |
10 |
| 21 | 507 |
"Does the Ubara recall Master?" she asked. |
10 |
| 21 | 516 |
"Suppose," I said, "that she were not free, that she were not Ubara. |
10 |
| 21 | 520 |
"If she were a captured Ubara," I said, "and auctioned before Ubars, doubtless her price would be high, perhaps thousands of tarn disks, but if she were unknown, and only one slave on a chain with others, and it were she alone, the girl alone, only herself, so to speak, who was to ascend the block, ... |
10 |
| 21 | 545 |
"As you will recall," she said, "I had just been permitted to glimpse the beauty of the Ubara". |
10 |
| 21 | 555 |
This pleased the Ubara certainly. |
10 |
| 21 | 561 |
"'Surely the Lady Ludmilla,' I said to the Ubara, when I could gather my wits and speak, 'could not begin to compare in beauty with Mistress!'" "Again you were on dangerous ground," I observed. |
10 |
| 22 | 237 |
"No!" "Glory to Talena, Ubara of Ar," I said. |
10 |
| 22 | 239 |
"Glory to Seremides, first minister to the Ubara, high captain, commander of the Taurentians, to Myron, polemarkos of Temos, to Lurius of Jad, Ubar of Cos!" I said. |
10 |
| 22 | 503 |
Could she bear a message from someone in the Central Cylinder, say, from one of the many free women in the entourage of even the Ubara? Too, they may have remembered her from the theater, and from Aulus. |
10 |
| 23 | 267 |
"If it were, Seremides, and the Ubara, and their minions, could pretend it is still the Home Stone of Ar's Station. |
10 |
| 24 | 314 |
Too, of course, she had been similarly in contact with the Ubara, only in that role, of course, in a collar purporting to be that of the house of Appanius. |
10 |
| 25 | 336 |
Actually I thought Talena might bring that much, not as a common slave, of course, but perhaps in some situation of great dignity, as, say, a stripped, chained Ubara, being bid on in a private sale, perhaps by the agents of Chenbar, the Sea Sleen, Ubar of Tyros, and Lurius of Jad, Ubar of Cos. |
10 |
| 26 | 65 |
"Mistress is Ubara," said he. |
10 |
| 26 | 78 |
"And few," she laughed, "are even aware of the features of the Ubara!" "True, wondrous Mistress," he said. |
10 |
| 26 | 98 |
The Ubara looked at herself, in the mirror at the far end of the room. |
10 |
| 26 | 100 |
Sometimes I think that they have more freedom than I, that I, a free woman, indeed, one who is Ubara of Ar, am more slave than slave". |
10 |
| 26 | 104 |
The Ubara continued to regard herself in the mirror. |
10 |
| 26 | 156 |
The Ubara, moving very little, was still regarding herself in the mirror. |
10 |
| 26 | 166 |
"And I am Ubara!" said the free woman. |
10 |
| 26 | 168 |
"A Ubara, too," she said, "is a woman, and I have a woman's needs". |
10 |
| 26 | 170 |
The Ubara then, bit by bit, piece by piece, looking at herself from time to time in the mirror, the slave standing back, removed her outer garments. |
10 |
| 26 | 179 |
Milo had not had with him, I had determined, the note which had putatively come to him from the Ubara, that which had been written by Lavinia. |
10 |
| 26 | 181 |
Neither the Ubara nor Milo, of course, knew of the notes which they themselves had supposedly written. |
10 |
| 26 | 182 |
All communications between them other than these had been effected by Lavinia, to the Ubara in the guise of a slave of the house of Appanius, to Milo in the guise of a state slave, with the exception of their rendezvous this morning. |
10 |
| 26 | 183 |
With Lavinia as go-between, under my instructions, matters had proceeded expeditiously, culminating apace, save for some delays on the part of the Ubara, presumably to increase the anxieties of, and torment, the poor slave, in the arrangements for this assignation. |
10 |
| 26 | 184 |
"I wonder if I am truly the most beautiful woman on all Gor," said the Ubara, looking into the mirror. |
10 |
| 26 | 191 |
"And you, Milo," said the Ubara, "are a handsome brute". |
10 |
| 26 | 230 |
Too, almost simultaneously, he would doubtless suspect that the note which he himself had originally received might very well not have come from the Ubara herself. |
10 |
| 26 | 234 |
I myself, incidentally, did not think it impossible that the Ubara herself, in certain circumstances, might be so indiscreet as to write such notes. |
10 |
| 26 | 252 |
"It is I before whom you kneel," said the Ubara. |
10 |
| 26 | 334 |
"I am Ubara," she said. |
10 |
| 26 | 346 |
In the Ubara, it seemed, might be latent depths on the shores of which she stood frightened, and in awe. |
10 |
| 26 | 358 |
"Mistress is free, and Ubara," he said. |
10 |
| 26 | 361 |
"The Ubara of Ar," he said. |
10 |
| 26 | 456 |
"Talena, Ubara of Ar," said Milo. |
10 |
| 26 | 477 |
"The principle here, I gather," said Marcus, "is that the Ubara is above the law". |
10 |
| 26 | 488 |
"I am Ubara!" she said. |
10 |
| 26 | 489 |
"You were Ubara," he said. |
10 |
| 26 | 522 |
"Who would believe that once you had been Talena, the Ubara of Ar?" asked Tolnar. |
10 |
| 27 | 3 |
The new slave, the dark-haired, olive-skinned beauty who had but recently been the Ubara of Ar, was still unconscious. |
10 |
| 27 | 471 |
"Take the garments you wore here, and those, too, of the former Ubara of Ar". |
10 |
| 27 | 480 |
He pointed to the garments near his feet, which had been removed earlier by the former Ubara. |
10 |
| 27 | 496 |
"And do not forget this," I said, lifting up the small, capped leather capsule on its thong which the former Ubara had worn about her neck, which contained the compromising note, which had given her such power over him when he was a slave. |
10 |
