13	125	I did not much favor the idea of living in a village.	10

13	550	No strong peasant lads waited there, to run me down, to strip and bind me, and lead me, my neck roped, back to the village.	10
13	635	I became aware, as well as I could see, that we stood in the midst of a clearing in a peasant village.	10

6	159	He had been driven from his father's village, for his attendance upon a young free woman of the village.	10
7	849	Once I almost cried out with misery, for the path to my desired destination lay across a dark street, down which, a hundred yards or so away, I could see the center of the village, where, about the village fire, were seated several men, villagers and my master, and his men.	10
7	853	Whereas I feared being seen, or discovered, I did not much fear being trailed for, though slave girls would be barefoot, as I, there would also be in the village the numerous prints of village bond girls, not simply mine, and those of my sisters in bondage.	10
7	858	At last, stealthily, now again crawling in the darkness, I reached that position in the village which I had anxiously sought, that portion of the village where my master and his men had made their camp.	10

5	148	If a village markets in a given city, that city, by Gorean custom, stands as its shield, a relationship which, of course, works to the advantage of both the villages and city, the city receiving produce in its markets, the villages receiving the protection of the city's soldiers.	10
6	8	The still, with its tanks and pipes, lay within the village, that of Tabuk's Ford, in which Thurnus, our host, was caste leader.	10
6	36	Tabuk's Ford was a large village, containing some forty families; it was ringed with a palisade, and stood like a hub in the midst of its fields, long, narrow, widening strips, which radiated from it like the spokes in a wheel.	10
6	41	The field tabuk now make their crossing some twenty pasangs northwest of Tabuk's Ford, but the village, founded in the area of the original crossing keeps the first name of the locale.	10
6	42	Tabuk's Ford is a rich village, but it is best known not for its agricultural bounty, a function of its dark, fertile fields in the southern basin of the Verl, but for its sleen breeding.	10
6	107	The entrances to many of the huts in the village, similarly constructed, were reached by ladders.	10
6	111	Elsewhere about the village were storage huts and animal pens.	10
6	122	The village of Tabuk's Ford lay some four hundred pasangs from Ar, generally to the north and west.	10

6	291	In the feast to come tonight, Eta had warned me, there would be a general exchange of slave girls, the bond girls of the village being made available to my master's men, and his own girls, among whom I was one, being made available to the young lads of the community.	10
7	3	Slave Beads stumbled to the long line scratched in the dirt in the village of Tabuk's Ford.	10
7	9	The village was surrounded by a palisade, the gate of which was barred.	10
7	293	The girls of Clitus Vitellius, I among them, stood at the line scratched in the dirt within the peasant village of Tabuk's Ford, some four hundred pasangs to the north and west of Ar, some twenty pasangs or so, west, from the Vosk road.	10
7	343	Now I stood on a dirt line in a peasant village on an alien world, no longer the free Judy Thornton but rather now only a nameless, half-naked slave girl, waiting to be run for the pleasure of boys.	10

7	425	She was a girl of peasant stock, who had been, two years ago, stolen by slavers from a village hundreds of pasangs to the west.	10
7	590	Then my hands were pressed against the smooth logs of the palisade surrounding the village.	10
7	595	I could see the fire in the village's clearing, its light on the faces of the men about it.	10
7	611	Dozens of vicious eyes blazed at me from behind the stout bars of a sleen pen, one of several in the village.	10
7	854	It would be next to impossible, in this populous and much trekked village, particularly in the night, by torchlight, to follow a girl's trail without the use of sleen, which might not, happily for the pursued females, be used in the hunt.	10
7	870	They had circled our camp area, between it and the edge of the palisade, and were now returning to the center of the village.	10
7	907	It was probably the only place in the village where I might be safe.	10
8	289	I feared the other slaves, as well, the village slaves.	10
8	298	And what could one hope for? Perhaps at best to be slept at night in a hut, shackled, hand and foot, on a coarse mat? Surely I did not belong in a peasant village! I was not that sort of slave! Surely I was more the sort who should be an urban slave, lovely in a silken tunic, attracting the attentio...	10
8	301	There were many fields, too, about the village.	10
8	307	In the street of the village, I stopped.	10

9	570	Many and various, and long, are the tasks of a peasant village.	10
9	607	That night Thurnus carried me, bound, over his shoulder, back to the village, and threw me down between the pilings of his hut.	10
9	622	"Instead I am only the companion of a village leader.	10
9	658	It was he who had left me in a peasant village! He had made me love him, conquering me to the last cell of my body, and had then, laughing, given me to a peasant.	10
9	659	He knew the sort of girl I was, delicate and sensitive, slight and beautiful, from Earth, and then he had, to his amusement, put me to harsh, weighty slavery in a peasant village, giving me to Thurnus.	10
9	663	I was thought little of in the village, though my cage sisters were kind to me.	10
9	666	What idiots they were! There were better things to do with a beautiful slave girl than hitch her to a plow! "The village is not a good place for you, Dina," Turnip had once said to me.	10
9	726	The other girls had left the village to carry water.	10
9	729	He was visiting another village, to buy vulos.	10

9	762	"Would you like to leave our village?" she asked.	10
9	783	"A peddler," she said, "is in the village".	10
9	795	Melina was going to sell me off, I thought, while Thurnus was out of the village.	10
9	798	Indeed I would! When might come another chance to escape the slavery of the village? I would do anything to escape peasant slavery! Present myself well? Indeed! I would be a wonder to him of obedient, sensuous female flesh! Then suddenly I was afraid.	10
9	827	I decided that I would be an Earth-girl slave, the desirability of whose flesh was being assessed, tied in a peasant village.	10
9	1161	I had expected to be bound, wrists behind my back, and tethered by the neck of the rear of Ladletender's wagon, to follow him, his slave girl, naked and barefoot from the village.	10
9	1227	Tup Ladletender, I knew, had left the village without me.	10
9	1284	"She is the clever girl who eluded us in girl hunt in the village," said one of the lads.	10
9	1334	I was sure now that I would be beaten upon my return to the village.	10
9	1444	There were the eight young men of Bran Loort, and others, too, gathered from the village.	10
9	1454	Thurnus's hut was near the center of the village, near its clearing.	10
9	1550	This sort of rape is not uncommon in a peasant village.	10
9	1554	"If she pleases you, run her down, and take her, son," is a not uncommon piece of paternal advice in a peasant village.	10
9	1593	"In what village is that?" asked Thurnus.	10
9	1598	"I speak for Thurnus, caste leader in the village of Tabuk's Ford," said Thurnus.	10
9	1601	"In the name of Thurnus, he of the peasants, caste leader of the village of Tabuk's Ford," said Thurnus, "I speak.	10
9	1607	In this the villagers, with the exception of the two contestants, leave the village and the gate is closed.	10
9	1608	Each contestant carries in the village his bow, the great bow, the peasant bow, and five arrows.	10
9	1613	"Then," asked Thurnus, "it will be the test of knives?" In this the two men leave the village and enter, from opposite sides, a darkened wood.	10
9	1614	He who returns to the village is caste leader.	10
9	1632	"Build up the village fire," said Thurnus.	10
9	1770	At last, bloodied and beaten, Bran Loort lay helpless at the feet of Thurnus, caste leader of the village of Tabuk's Ford.	10
9	1808	He left the village of Tabuk's Ford.	10
9	1811	"Of what village are you?" asked Thurnus.	10
9	1907	"Shave my head and return me in dishonor to my father's village," she begged.	10
9	1979	Therein she was fastened, the beams locking her ankles and neck, and wrists, in place, and, as her left thigh was held by strong men, branded by the hand of Thurnus, caste leader of the village of Tabuk's Ford.	10
9	1986	The feast was served by the village slave girls, Radish, Verr Tail and Turnip among them.	10
9	2166	"To return you as a shamed slave to the village of your father," said he.	10
9	2204	One of the penalties which may in a peasant village be inflicted upon a lying slave girl is to throw her alive to hungry sleen.	10
9	2235	Each day you will serve a different hut in the village".	10
9	2292	"He was promised you, in payment for the powder he gave to one in the village," said Thurnus.	10
9	2293	"The powder was used, though it did not have the effect that one in the village had intended.	10
9	2294	Accordingly, on behalf of one who was of the village, who can no longer transact the affairs of business, having fallen into the unfortunate state of slavery, I, on behalf of that former person, now one of my beasts, tender you to him in payment for the powder".	10
9	2359	I had little doubt that Thurnus, for his considerably improved slaves, would soon be the envy of the village.	10
9	2360	Too, I supposed, shortly, that every embonded wench in the village would discover that she would be subjected to similar delights and disciplines.	10
9	2361	This village, I suspected, would become famous for its pleasure slaves.	10
9	2370	Too, I had little doubt but that when it was the turn of the village slave, Melina, to serve the house of Thurnus that she, too, would fall under the same strict discipline.	10
9	2395	"The village," said he, "is no place for you, little Dina.	10
9	2415	His cart, with the two large wheels, and the two long handles, was near the village gate.	10
10	81	We had stayed in a nearby village overnight, in which Ladletender had a friend.	10
14	84	I recalled he had been defeated by Thurnus and then, stripped, thrust before a rape-rack in the village on which a girl, naked and helpless, awaited him.	10
14	92	He had left the village of Tabuk's Ford.	10
18	71	For example, on Earth, in whatever village or hamlet, in whatever country, or continent, in whatever small town or great city, wherever it might be, an animal is an animal; a pig or a dog, for example, is that, simply that, a pig or a dog.	10
