"I am sorry that I had you whipped!" That had occurred in my first day in the depths, when she was still the occupant of a dangling slave cage, suspended over a pool to which large aquatic rodents, one variety of urt, had access. |
4 |
| 19 | 896 |
"Is this your petty vengeance on a free woman," she asked, angrily, "you illiterate, stupid, sleek, embonded, collared little she-urt?" "I do not think I am smaller than you," I said. |
4 |
| 19 | 898 |
"I, you illiterate, collared she-urt?" "You were brought here hooded," I said. |
4 |

"To the urt pool," said the pit master, reluctantly. |
4 |
| 37 | 321 |
"It is an urt". |
4 |
| 37 | 342 |
"Will the urt charge?" asked the lieutenant. |
4 |
| 37 | 349 |
But the urt did turn then, of its own accord, and scampered back down the passageway. |
4 |
| 37 | 389 |
The darkness of the walk ringing the urt pool was behind. |
4 |
| 37 | 391 |
That must be the Lady Ilene, whom I had met in the chamber of the commercial praetor, kept now, I knew, pending the arrival of her ransom, in the tiny cage suspended over the urt pool, that cage which had been for some time the residence of the Lady Constanzia, that cage which could be opened at the... |
4 |
| 37 | 395 |
The woman was screaming, from within, over the urt pool. |
4 |
| 37 | 404 |
From within, over the urt pool, we could still hear the screaming of the woman. |
4 |
| 37 | 405 |
"It is a dead urt!" said a man, suddenly. |
4 |
| 37 | 412 |
The urts now dragged the body of the dead urt, now half eaten, its bones about, to the wall, where they continued their feeding. |
4 |
| 37 | 416 |
"How did the urt die?" asked a man. |
4 |
| 37 | 424 |
"There is a quarrel in the urt!" said a man, suddenly, the beasts, in their feeding, moving about. |
4 |
| 37 | 464 |
I was, at the time, confused, sick, afraid, almost unable to stand, waiting there in the darkness, with the others, not knowing if something, an urt, or the prisoner, armed, intent, might suddenly be upon us, perhaps slashing to one side or the other, in some eagerness to get at the men. |
4 |
| 37 | 467 |
The prisoner had apparently lifted the panels to the urt nest, permitting them access to the walkway, the gate having been raised to permit them, or some at least, into the passageway, the gate then being lowered. |
4 |
| 37 | 468 |
It is terribly dangerous, of course, to trap an urt against a barrier, as it will then fight with terrible ferocity. |
4 |
| 37 | 473 |
By the time it had been determined that the victim was another urt the men would have been within range. |
4 |
| 37 | 507 |
This new arrangement, that of five groups, made possible a more diversified deployment of the men, presumably an advantage on the walkway about the urt pool. |
4 |
| 37 | 580 |
An urt, on the walkway, at their approach, had scrambled over the railing, and dived into the pool. |
4 |
| 37 | 583 |
And I saw the wet, glistening head of an urt, just at the surface. |
4 |
| 37 | 586 |
This was not the urt which had just entered the pool. |
4 |
| 37 | 593 |
"Urt!" cried Tira, pointing. |
4 |
| 37 | 621 |
When one urt leaves the nest, others tend to follow. |
4 |
| 37 | 714 |
We spun about and saw the Lady Ilene, her small ankles tied together, her hands tied behind her back, a rope under her arms, swinging over the dark waters of the urt pool. |
4 |
| 37 | 743 |
"Find him! Find him! Fire! Fire!" But suddenly, from a place high on the wall, now feet from where the body of Herminius had been thrown, on one of the ropes which were intended to control the movements of the cage, a dark figure swung over the urt pool. |
4 |
| 37 | 760 |
The Lady Ilene, out of the cage, tied to it by a rope fastened under her arms, bound hand and foot, gagged, dangled over the urt pool. |
4 |
| 37 | 779 |
Rather, to my horror, he took a quarrel between his teeth and, bow in hand, leapt over the railing, into the urt pool itself. |
4 |
| 37 | 874 |
The urt, too, had submerged. |
4 |
| 37 | 943 |
"What is it? A dead urt?" "It is a body," said the pit master. |
4 |
| 37 | 945 |
"It has come to the surface!" An urt swam to the object and began to bite at it. |
4 |
| 37 | 948 |
Another urt then swam toward it. |
4 |
| 37 | 1020 |
An urt beneath the railing turned smoothly in the water, orienting itself toward the figure in the water. |
4 |
| 37 | 1027 |
We could now see, surfaced behind him, the head and neck of an urt, one that was very large. |
4 |
| 37 | 1036 |
The head and neck of the urt surfaced again, behind Abnik. |
4 |
| 37 | 1069 |
"Is there a way from the urt nest, other than to the pool and walkway?" asked the officer of Treve. |
4 |
| 37 | 1111 |
"But how would he know the officer would not protect his man, that he would not be fired on in the cowl and pelt of the urt?" "He knew the caste he was dealing with," said the officer of Treve. |
4 |
| 37 | 1122 |
"You are certain that there is no possibility of escape through the urt nest, through drains, or sewers, or such". |
4 |

The point then, with terrible slowness, as Gito squirmed like an impaled urt, moved upward, behind the ribs, until it entered the heart. |

"A water urt was found in the valley three days ago," said the officer of Treve, studying the board. |
4 |

Too, I would suppose certain guards could do so, and, of course, the other pit slaves had seen him, at least twice, once in the cell, once in the vicinity of the urt pool. |
