10 107 It seemed the routine of the journey would never end, and I grew enamored of the long line of wagons, each filled with its various goods, those mysterious metals and gems, rolls of cloth, foodstuffs, wines and paga, weapons and harness, cosmetics and perfumes, medicines and slaves.

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
23 110 I issued orders swiftly and exhausted men poured from beneath and between the wagons to haul as many of the fallen kaiila and riders as possible from the wagons, that there might not be a wall of dying animals and men giving access to the height of our wagons.

5 67 Normally, however, the wagons are tied in tandem fashion, in numerous long columns, and only the lead wagons are guided, the others simply following, thongs running from the rear of one wagon to the nose rings of the bosk following, sometimes as much as thirty yards behind, with the next wagon; also...

8 38 The Wagon Peoples sometimes are also willing to barter silks to the Turians, but commonly they keep these for their own slave girls, who wear them in the secrecy of the wagons; free women, incidentally, among the Wagon Peoples are not permitted to wear silk; it is claimed by those of the Wagons, del...

22 2 One makes a pretext of seriously besieging a city, spending several days, sometimes weeks, in the endeavor, and then, apparently, one surrenders the siege and withdraws, moving away slowly with the wagons and bosk for some days—in this case four—and then, the bosk and wagons removed fr...

23 99 Harold and I determined to appear to meet the Paravaci in the open—before the wagons—and then, when they charged, to withdraw among the wagons, and close the wagons on their attacking front, halting the charge, then at almost point-blank range hopefully taking heavy toll of their force...

23 101 The battle was joined at the seventh Gorean hour and, as planned, as soon as the Paravaci center was committed, the bulk of our forces wheeled and retreated among the wagons, the rest of our forces then turning and pushing the wagons together.

26 560 Again we laughed and, suddenly, we urged the kaiila forward in great bounding strides, eager to reach the wagons, each of us, for waiting in these wagons were three girls, desirable, marvelous, ours, Hereena, she who had been of the First Wagon, the slave of Harold, her master; Aphris of Turia, almo...

1 56 Not only does the flesh of the bosk and the milk of its cows furnish the Wagon Peoples with food and drink, but its hides cover the domelike wagons in which they dwell; its tanned and sewn skins cover their bodies; the leather of its hump is used for their shields; its sinews form their thread; its ...

2 73 It is near Turia, in the spring, that the Omen Year is completed, when the omens are taken, usually over several days by hundreds of haruspexes, mostly readers of bosk blood and verr livers, to determine if they are favorable for a choosing of a Ubar San, a One Ubar, a Ubar who would be High Ubar, a...

5 8 I heard a haruspex singing between the wagons; for a piece of meat he would read the wind and the grass; for a cup of wine the stars and the flight of birds; for a fat-bellied dinner the liver of a sleen or slave.

5 10 I was told by Kamchak that once an army of a thousand wagons turned aside because a swarm of rennels, poisonous, crablike desert insects, did not defend its broken nest, crushed by the wheel of the lead wagon.

5 17 As we passed among the wagons I leaped back as a tawny prairie sleen hurled itself against the bars of a sleen cage, reaching out for me with its six-clawed paw.

5 21 I was startled by the sound of slave bells and saw a girl, stripped save for bells and collar, carrying a burden among the wagons.
Details
10
5 22 Kamchak saw that I had noticed the girl and chuckled, sensing that I might find it strange, seeing a slave so among the wagons.
Details
10
5 51 The girl laughed at her and with a toss of her auburn hair, bound in the Koora, ran off between the wagons.

5 63 One of the most striking features of these wagons is the wheels, which are huge, the back wheels having a diameter of about ten feet; the front wheels are, like those of the Conestoga wagon, slightly smaller, in this case, about eight feet in diameter; the larger rear wheels are more difficult to mi...

5 104 "There are a hundred wagons in the personal household of Kutaituchik," said Kamchak.
Details
10
5 105 "To be of any of these wagons is to be of the First Wagon".
Details
10
5 116 I was about to press Kamchak on this matter when we heard a sudden shout and the squealing of kaiila from among the wagons.
Details
10
6 1 To the Wagon of Kutaituchik Kamchak strode among the wagons, toward the sound, and I followed him closely.
Details
10
6 5 Among them, too, were soothsayers and haruspexes, and singers and musicians, and, here and there, small peddlers and merchants, of various cities, for such are occasionally permitted by the Tuchuks, who crave their wares, to approach the wagons.
Details
10
6 9 This acceptance brand, of course, carries with it a certain stain of ignominy, suggesting that those who approach the wagons do so as slaves.
Details
10
6 75 It then occurred to me that it might have been for just this purpose that she had been sent to the Tuchuks, to single out the one man from among all the thousands with the wagons who could understand her and speak with her, thus identifying and marking him.

6 101 The bound girl watched helplessly as the woman carried her clothing, all that she had of her old world, to a cooking fire some yards away, near the edge of the wagons.

6 181 The two riders turned their kaiila and in a moment, moving rapidly, the girl running between them, had turned from the grassy lane and disappeared between the wagons.

7 4 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...

7 41 "It is important to keep the axles of the wagons greased," observed Kutaituchik.

7 188 Now I understood, as I had only suspected before, why an English-speaking girl was necessary to bear the collar, that she might be the device whereby I would be singled out from the hundreds and thousands among the wagons, and so be marked for death.

8 5 It is in the spring that the omens are taken, regarding the possible election of the Ubar San, the One Ubar, he who would be Ubar of all the Wagons, of all the Peoples.
Details
10
8 15 My main interests, my primary objective, surely lay not in distant Turia, but with the wagons.
Details
10
8 22 Even in the time I had been with the wagons I had gathered that it was only the implicit truce of the Omen Year which kept these four fierce, warring peoples from lunging at one another's throats, or, more exactly put, at one another's bosk.
Details
10
8 28 I think that those of the Wagons who instituted the Omen Year, more than a thousand years ago, were wise men.
Details
10
8 29 How was it, I wondered, that Kamchak was going to Turia in the spring? I sensed him to be a man of importance with the wagons.
Details
10
8 33 The Wagon Peoples, though enemies of Turia, needed and wanted her goods, in particular materials of metal and cloth, which are highly prized among the Wagons.
Details
10
8 37 From these raids the Wagon Peoples obtain a miscellany of goods which they are willing to barter to the Turians, jewels, precious metals, spices, colored table salts, harnesses and saddles for the ponderous tharlarion, furs of small river animals, tools for the field, scholarly scrolls, inks and pap...

10
8 42 The animals began to die and the keening of women, crying as though the wagons were burning and the Turians upon them, carried over the prairies.
Details
10
8 44 Wagons had to be abandoned on the prairie, as there was no time to train new bosk to the harness, and the herds must needs keep moving.
Details
10
8 51 They did not, in fact, even cross the western Cartius, far from cities, which they often do, swimming the bosk and kaiila, floating the wagons, the men often crossing on the backs of the swimming bosk.
Details
10
8 52 It was the Omen Year, and not a year, apparently, in which to risk war with far peoples, particularly not those of cities like Ar, whose warriors had mastered the tarn and might, from the air, have wrought great destruction on the herds and wagons.
Details
10
8 80 Of course, Kamchak had rented three Turian girls, slaves, to train her; they had done so, binding her wrists and leading her about the wagons, teaching her the words for things, beating her with switches when she made mistakes; Elizabeth had learned quickly.
Details
10
8 93 He was, of course, aware that no girl, Gorean or otherwise, could be expected to take lightly a sudden reduction to an abject and complete slavery, particularly considering what that would mean among the wagons.
Details
10
8 101 I tried to talk to Kamchak and help him to understand the shock that the girl had undergone, the total alteration of her life and circumstances, unexplained—finding herself alone on the prairie, the Tuchuks, the capture, the return to the Wagons, her examination in the grassy avenue, the Siri...
Details
10
8 142 He did not permit her, of course, to bind or dress her hair; it must be worn loose; that alone, naturally, was sufficient to mark her slave among the wagons.
Details
10
8 194 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 ...
Details
10
8 223 In the crowd, on the back of a kaiila, I noted the girl Hereena, of the First Wagon, whom I had seen my first day in the camp of the Tuchuks, she who had almost ridden down Kamchak and myself between the wagons.
Details
10
8 226 Turian warriors, he told me, enjoy such women, the wild girls of the Wagons.
Details
10
8 237 Among the wagons he was nothing.
Details
10
8 242 I had determined, of course, to my satisfaction, having spoken with him once, that the boy, or young man, was indeed Gorean; his people and their people before them and as far back as anyone knew had been, as it is said, of the Wagons.
Details
10
8 255 Indeed, I knew that some among the wagons, the girl Hereena, for example, who seemed to bear him a great dislike, had insisted that he, though free, be forced to wear the Kes or the dress of a woman.
Details
10
8 263 Indeed, it had been from that warrior that Kamchak had rented the girls who had dragged Elizabeth Cardwell about the wagons, teaching her Gorean with thong and switch.
Details
10
8 356 She had perhaps observed the running of Tuka and the Kassar girl, trying to watch and learn, but she was of course utterly inexperienced in this cruel sport of the men of the wagons.
Details
10
8 359 One of the best among the wagons I had heard was a Kassar slave, a swift Turian wench whose name was Dina.
Details
10
8 463 Even the Turian girl, Dina, perhaps the best slave among all the wagons in this sport, was laughing, hanging on the stirrup of Albrecht, looking up at him.
Details
10
8 544 "Let us return to our wagons".

10
8 631 It was now, perhaps, I hoped, that I might learn the answer to the riddles which had not ceased to disturb me, that I might learn the answer to the mystery of the message collar, perhaps the answer to the numerous mysteries which had attended it, and perhaps, at last, find some clue, as I had not ye...

10
8 636 I and the wagons would go with them.

10
9 93 Among the Wagons, clad in a brief bit of cord and leather, branded, wearing nose ring and Turian collar, could be found many of the beauties of Turia.
Details
10
9 114 "I see," he said, "that you were not raised among the wagons".
Details
10
9 144 Elizabeth Cardwell's being permitted the pelt of the red larl was, as you have doubtless understood, unusual amongst the wagons.
Details
10
9 306 "We have many girls among the wagons quite as good," said Kamchak.
Details
10
10 18 It was one of the highest prices ever paid among the wagons for a slave and I judged that Albrecht had sorely missed his little Tenchika; the high price he was forced to pay for the girl was made even more intolerable by Kamchak's amusement at his expense, roaring with laughter and slapping his knee...
Details
10
10 19 Dina, though she was slave, I had placed on the saddle before me, her legs over the left forequarters of the animal, and had ridden with her from the wagons, until in the distance I could see the gleaming, white walls of Turia.
Details
10
10 26 "Is it your wish," she asked, "that I run for the city?" She referred to a cruel sport of the young men of the wagons who sometimes take Turian slave girls to the sight of Turia's walls and then, loosening bola and thong, bid them run for the city.
Details
10
10 125 Kamchak! Free a slave! And, I told myself, even if I myself owned Elizabeth, and not Kamchak, I could not free her—for what would it be to free her? If she approached Turia she would fall slave to the first patrol that leashed and hooded her; if she tried to stay among the wagons, some young ...
Details
10
10 126 And I myself did not intend to stay among the wagons.
Details
10
10 248 They were marvelous, the many wild girls of the Wagons, and I saw that chief among them was the proud, beauteous Hereena, of the First Wagon.
Details
10
10 271 It was only then that it had occurred to me that both girls might have been acquired in the games; as a matter of fact, however, I later learned that only Tenchika had been so acquired; Dina had first felt the thongs of a master beside the burning wagons of a caravan in which she had purchased passa...
Details
10
10 273 I wondered how many of the proud beauties of Turia would this night tearfully serve barbarian masters; and how many of the wild, leather-clad girls of the Wagons, like Hereena, would find themselves this night naught but bangled, silken slaves locked behind the high walls of distant, lofty Turia.
Details
10
10 288 In this way the Turian girls can see their city and their warriors, and the girls of the Wagons can see the plains and the warriors of the Wagon Peoples.
Details
10
10 298 The public slave wagons, incidentally, also provide paga.
Details
10
10 350 The girls of the wagons, as usual, were unveiled.
Details
10
10 395 In short, in their various ways, something like seniority and skills determines, of two or more Turians, or two or more warriors of the Wagons, who will take the field.
Details
10
10 396 Sometimes men fight among themselves for this honor, but such combat is frowned upon by both the Turians and those of the Wagons, being regarded as somewhat disgraceful, particularly in the presence of foes.
Details
10
10 449 In all my time among the wagons I had not seen one of the Gorean short swords, so fierce and swift and common a weapon among those of the cities.
Details
10
10 507 Kamchak picked his up as though it were a wagon lever, used for loosening the wheels of mired wagons.
Details
10
11 115 Then Kamchak, with his two women, and I, left the Plains of a Thousand Stakes and set out for the wagons of the Tuchuks.
Details
10
11 117 * * * * Some two hours later we reached the encampment of the Tuchuks and made our way among the wagons and the cooking pots and playing children.
Details
10
11 130 She had, of course, in her time with the wagons, become used to this form of exercise.
Details
10
11 173 After this Kamchak and I left the wagon and wandered about, stopping at one of the slave wagons for a bottle of paga, which, while wandering about, we killed between us.
Details
10
11 182 It was too bad, I thought, but at least I supposed there would be one fellow among the wagons, the young man Harold, he whom the girl had so abused, he who had not yet won the Courage Scar, who would be just as pleased as not that she, with all her contempt and spleen, was now delightfully salted aw...
Details
10
11 295 "If you attempt to leave the wagons at night they will sense you out and rip my pretty little slave girl in pieces".
Details
10
12 26 At that time Kutaituchik and other high men among the Tuchuks, doubtless including Kamchak, would be afield, on the rolling hills surrounding the Omen Valley, in which, on the hundreds of smoking altars, the haruspexes of the four peoples would be practicing their obscure craft, taking the omens, tr...
Details
10
12 29 But, I reminded myself, such a choice, if choice there must be, might be best for the cities of Gor, for under Kutaituchik the Wagons would not be likely to move northward, nor even to the gates of Turia.
Details
10
12 32 I supposed he was curious about me, not a Tuchuk, not a merchant or singer, yet among the Wagons.
Details
10
12 490 Then, shrugging, I too left the enclosure, thinking that perhaps I should wander among the wagons for a few hours, before returning.
Details
10
12 505 Flinging the paga bottle aside, a swirl of the liquid flying out of it, I whirled and saw, some fifty feet away, between two wagons, the dark figure of the hooded man, he of the Clan of Torturers, who had been following me.
Details
10
13 9 "She would have hidden among the wagons last night," Kamchak said.
Details
10
13 15 "Cut off her feet," said Kamchak, "and her nose and ears, and blind her in one eye—then release her to live as she can among the wagons".
Details
10
13 55 "There is no escape from the wagons," he said.
Details
10
13 107 He would do no more to Elizabeth Cardwell than was commonly done to female slaves among the wagons, even those who had never dared to speak back or disobey in the least particular.
Details
10
14 19 She was slave and would be secured, that she might not seize up a weapon or try to fight or burn wagons.
Details
10
14 24 The wagons, in Turian raids, are burned.
Details
10
14 55 Among the wagons the tarnsmen would have found only slaves, women and children, but not a wagon had been burned or looted.
Details
10
14 57 A few arrows from those who followed us looped weakly up after them, falling then among the wagons.
Details
10
14 77 I will see that the axles of the wagons are greased".
Details
10
15 21 There was, after all, no place on the prairies to hide the wagons or the bosk, and tarnsmen could easily reach them anywhere within a radius of several hundred pasangs.
Details
10
15 24 "We have paid them not to burn the wagons nor slay the bosk," said he.
Details
10
15 27 For some reason this angered me, though, naturally, I was pleased that the wagons and bosk were yet safe.
Details
10
15 29 "But," said Kamchak, "I think in the end Saphrar of Turia will meet their price—and the wagons will be fired and the bosk slain—" He gritted his teeth.
Details
10
15 34 "Let the wagons be gathered," he said, "and the bosk turned from Turia".
Details
10
15 48 The afternoon among the wagons was a busy one, for they were preparing to move.
Details
10
15 51 In the morning the wagons, in their long lines, would follow the slowly moving herds away from Turia.
Details
10
15 91 When the wagons were to move, Tuka was to walk beside the cart of the sleen cage, drawn by a single bosk, and with a bosk stick guide the animal.
Details
10
15 99 * * * * I searched among the wagons long before I found, sitting cross-legged beneath a wagon, wrapped in a worn bosk robe, his weapons at hand folded in leather, the young man whose name was Harold, the blond-haired, blue-eyed fellow who had been so victimized by Hereena, she of the First Wagon, wh...

16 17 "Here," said Harold, pointing to a cut between two rocks, only about eight inches wide, through which from some underground source a flow of water was emerging, entering and adding to the small stream at which, some four pasangs from the wagons, Aphris and Elizabeth had often drawn water for the wag...

10
16 56 I considered lowering myself down the rope and returning to the wagons for a bottle of paga.

16 141 It was he who had hurled the quiva at me among the wagons, who would have been my assassin save for the sudden flicker of a shadow on a lacquered board.
Details
10
16 314 The matter of the message collar had been a clever way of attempting to gain that end but, because of the shrewdness of Tuchuks, who seldom take anything at its face value, it had failed; they had then attempted to bring me down among the wagons with a Paravaci quiva, but that, too, had failed; I gr...

19 71 I looked them over and would have thought that any one of them would have been a prize, presuming it could be safely transported somehow to the wagons of the Tuchuks.

10
20 155 I took one long turn, seeing the torches and lights in the House of Saphrar below, and then guided my bird out over the prairie in the direction of the wagons of the Tuchuks.
Details
10
20 158 As we sped high over the prairie I wondered at how it was that Kamchak was withdrawing the wagons and bosk from Turia—that he would so soon abandon the siege.
Details
10
20 159 Then, in the dawn, we saw the wagons below us, and the bosk beyond them.
Details
10
20 160 Already fires had been lit and there was much activity in the camp of the Tuchuks, the cooking, the checking of wagons, the gathering and hitching up of the wagon bosk.
Details
10
20 161 This, I knew, was the morning on which the wagons moved away from Turia, toward distant Thassa, the Sea.
Details
10
20 162 Risking arrows, I, followed by Harold, descended to alight among the wagons.
Details
10
21 2 I had left the tarn with the wagons.
Details
10
21 18 "Turn the wagons!" called Kamchak.
Details
10
21 20 Far beyond the wagons I could see the herds of bosk, and the dust from their hoofs stained the horizon.
Details
10
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.
Details
10
21 37 Somewhat to my surprise I had no difficulty the next morning, after the withdrawal of the wagons, in entering the city.
Details
10
21 38 Before leaving the wagons I had joined them briefly on their march, long enough to purchase my peddler's disguise and the pound or so of stones which was to complete it.
Details
10
21 41 I then, on foot, following for a time the tracks of the departing wagons, then departing from them, returned to the vicinity of Turia.
Details
10
21 46 To my great surprise the gates of Turia stood open after the withdrawal of the wagons and the lifting of the siege.
Details
10
21 92 I might go after the wagons, which would be moving slowly, obtain the tarn I had left with them, and then return on tarnback to Saphrar's house.
Details
10
21 100 Then I realized that I had heard it among the wagons of the Tuchuks.
Details
10
21 124 "I learned something of jewels," she said, "in the wagons of Albrecht and Kamchak—and there is scarcely a silver tarn disk's worth here".
Details
10
21 152 On the other hand I noted, irritably, that incoming individuals and wagons were waved ahead with hardly a glance.
Details
10
21 167 In time I would leave the city—when I thought it safe—and return to the wagons, obtain the tarn and then make a strike for the egg.
Details
10
21 189 We stood on the wall near the main gate of Turia, through which I had entered the city some four days ago, the morning after the departure of the Tuchuk wagons for the pastures this side of the Ta-Thassa Mountains, beyond which lay the vast, gleaming Thassa itself.
Details
10
21 191 It was drawn not by the draft tharlarion like most merchant wagons but, like some, by four brown bosk.
Details
10
21 207 I looked out over the prairie, in the direction that had been taken by the Tuchuk wagons.
Details
10
21 210 Indeed, I respected his wisdom—withdrawing in the face of a situation in which there was nothing to be gained and, considering the vulnerability of the wagons and bosk to tarnsmen, much to be lost.
Details
10
21 212 But how it must have hurt him—he, Kamchak—to turn the wagons and withdraw from Turia, leaving Kutaituchik unavenged and Saphrar of Turia triumphant.
Details
10
21 214 I would rather have expected Kamchak to have stood before the walls of Turia, his kaiila saddled, his arrows at hand, until the winds and snows had at last driven him, the Tuchuks, the wagons and the bosk away from the gates of the beleaguered city, the nine-gated, high-walled stronghold of Turia, i...
Details
10
22 138 During the meal, from time to time, messengers, from various parts of the city, and even from the distant wagons, hours away by racing kaiila, would approach Kamchak, speak with him and hastily depart.
Details
10
22 161 "The wagons and bosk are under attack," he said.
Details
10
23 2 On one of these wagons, with the top removed, were the two tarns Harold and I had stolen from the roof of Saphrar's keep.
Details
10
23 5 Harold and I, mounted on kaiila, raced toward these wagons.
Details
10
23 9 Then, on the path to the main Tuchuk encampment, Harold and I were each to join our Thousand, subsequently doing what we could to protect the bosk and wagons.
Details
10
23 20 It was little to him, apparently, that the Paravaci should raid the herds and wagons of the Tuchuks when most of the Tuchuk warriors were engaged in Turia.
Details
10
23 24 "We have our own wagons," said Hakimba, at last.
Details
10
23 26 If the Paravaci attack our wagons, we will fight.
Details
10
23 35 "We have our own wagons," said Hakimba.
Details
10
23 36 "We will watch our own wagons".
Details
10
23 41 "We have our own wagons," he said.
Details
10
23 42 "We will watch our own wagons".
Details
10
23 43 I drew on the one-strap and took the tarn into the air, striking out across the prairie skies to intercept my Thousand on its way to the wagons of the Tuchuks.
Details
10
23 55 Our kaiila were spent when we reached the wagons of the Tuchuks and the herds, and we were only two thousand.
Details
10
23 56 Hundreds of the wagons were burning and fighting was taking place among them.
Details
10
23 59 Harold took his Thousand into the Wagons, engaging the Paravaci wherever he could find them.
Details
10
23 60 I knew that in little more than fifteen or twenty Ehn his forces would be lost, dissipated among the wagons, and yet surely the Paravaci must be met and fought there as well as on the prairie.
Details
10
23 80 In a moment, maintaining my saddle in spite of the leaping and stumbling of my kaiila over the slain bosk, fallen kaiila and screaming men, I gave orders to turn the bosk back and reform them near the wagons.
Details
10
23 82 By the time the Paravaci had reformed my Tuchuks had managed to swing the herd, slow it, get it milling about and then drive it back to a perimeter about the wagons.
Details
10
23 85 In the morning, however, they would presumably avoid the herd, find a clear avenue of attack, and strike, perhaps even through the wagons, pinning us against our own herd.
Details
10
23 86 That night I met with Harold, whose men had been fighting among the wagons.
Details
10
23 87 He had cleared several areas of Paravaci but they were still, here and there, among the wagons.
Details
10
23 93 Both Harold and I then spoke with our men, each issuing orders that any man with us who wished might now withdraw from the wagons and rejoin the main forces in Turia.
Details
10
23 97 Shortly after dawn we discovered the Paravaci forming in their Thousands away from the herd, preparing to strike the wagons from the north, pressing through, slaying all living things they might encounter, save women, slave or free.
Details
10
23 98 The latter would be driven before the warriors through the wagons, both slave girls and free women stripped and bound together in groups, providing shields against arrows and lance charges on kaiilaback for the men advancing behind them.
Details
10
23 102 As soon as our men were through the barricade they leaped from their kaiila, bow and quiver in hand, and took up prearranged positions under the wagons, between them, on them, and behind the wagon box planking, taking advantage of the arrow ports therein.
Details
10
23 103 The brunt of the Paravaci charge almost tipped and broke through the wagons, but we had lashed them together and they held.
Details
10
23 104 It was like a flood of kaiila and riders, weapons flourishing, that broke and piled against the wagons, the rear ranks pressing forward on those before them.
Details
10
23 105 Some of the rear ranks actually climbed fallen and struggling comrades and leaped over the wagons to the other side, where they were cut down by archers and dragged from their kaiila to be flung beneath the knives of free Tuchuk women.
Details
10
23 106 At a distance of little more than a dozen feet thousands of arrows were poured into the trapped Paravaci and yet they pressed forward, on and over their brethren, and then, arrows spent, we met them on the wagons themselves with lances in our hands, thrusting them back and down.
Details
10
23 108 The sound of their bosk horns was welcome to us, signaling the retreat of those at the wagons.
Details
10
23 111 Scarcely had we cleared the ground before the wagons when the Paravaci bosk horns sounded again and another wave of kaiila and riders, lances set, raced towards us.
Details
10
23 114 I estimated that there was scarcely a quarter of those living who had ridden with us to the defense of the herds and wagons.
Details
10
23 121 I looked to the left and right over the torn, bloody barricade of wagons, at the remains of my men, wounded and exhausted, many of them lying on the barricade or on the ground behind it, trying to gain but a moment's respite.
Details
10
23 134 Harold and I, and those of our men that remained, stood with the wagons, watching the nearing waves of warriors, observing the moment when the chain face guards of the Paravaci helmets were thrown forward, the moment when the lances, like that of a single man, were leveled.
Details
10
23 157 "Open the wagons!" I cried.
Details
10
23 161 "We have our own wagons," said Hakimba, "but yet we are of the Wagon Peoples".
Details
10
23 163 "I regret only," I said, "that I sent word to Kamchak and even now he has withdrawn his men from Turia and is returning to the wagons".
Details
10
23 177 "When the Paravaci—those who escaped us—return to their wagons," remarked Conrad, "they will find a surprise in store for them".
Details
10
23 181 "Those that pleased us—both of goods and women," remarked Conrad, "we carried off—of goods that did not please us, we burned them—of women that did not please us, we left them stripped and weeping among the wagons".
Details
10
23 187 Later in the afternoon the last of the Paravaci had been cleared from the Tuchuk wagons, wherever they might be found.
Details
10
23 192 Whether, after we had moved the wagons and bosk some pasangs away, we should remain there, or proceed toward the pastures this side of the Ta-Thassa Mountains, or return toward Turia, was not decided.
Details
10
23 194 The Kataii main force and the Kassar main force camped separately some pasangs from the Tuchuk camp and the field and would, in the morning, return to their own wagons.
Details
10
24 3 The morning after the Battle at the Wagons I had mounted a rested kaiila and set forth for Turia.
Details
10
24 9 I and Kamchak expected Saphrar to flee by tarn at any moment, for it must now be clear to him that the strike of the Paravaci against the Tuchuk wagons and herds had not forced Kamchak to withdraw; indeed, his forces were now supplemented by Kataii and Kassars, a development which must have horrifie...
Details
10
24 12 I knew that Kamchak was in constant touch, by means of riders, with the wagons of the Tuchuks, and so I did not speak with him of the looting of his wagon, nor of the fate of Aphris of Turia, nor did I deem it well to speak to him of Elizabeth Cardwell, for it seemed evident that he had sold her, an...
Details
10
24 13 I did ask Kamchak why, considering the probabilities that the Kataii and the Kassars would not have come to the aid of the Tuchuks, he had not abandoned Turia and returned with his main forces to the wagons.
Details
10
24 21 On the day following my arrival in Turia, Harold, on tarnback, relieved at his request of the command of the wagons and herds, joined me in the palace of Phanius Turmus.
Details
10
24 72 "But some thousand bosk came today from the wagons," he said.
Details
10
24 87 "It arrived with the bosk along with better than two hundred other wagons today—including yours".
Details
10
24 96 "At that time, of course," said Harold, "our wagons were not painted red, nor filled with booty and rich things, for we were not then commanders".
Details
10
24 138 He added, "Your own wagon, you will be pleased to hear, was among the wagons untouched by the Paravaci—as was mine".
Details
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.
Details
10
24 155 "I suppose, however," he said, "Korobans are impressed with such things—having wagons and such".
Details
10
24 174 Muttering I jerked loose the reins of my kaiila from the column to which I had tethered it, leaped to the saddle and raced after Harold, not wishing to be left behind somewhere in the streets of Turia or among the dark wagons beyond the gate, pounding on wagon after wagon to find which one might be ...
Details
10
24 201 We rode a bit into the wagons and then he pointed.
Details
10
25 164 I could scarcely believe that the proud creature who stood chained before me was she whom Kamchak and I had referred to as the Little Barbarian; whom I had been able to think of only as a timid, simple girl of Earth, a young, pretty little secretary, one of nameless, unimportant thousands of such in...
Details
10
26 8 On the way to the compound I had met Harold and together we had eaten some dried bosk meat and drunk water, from one of the commissary wagons attached to one of Hundreds in the city.
Details
10
26 191 We have need of such men among the wagons".
Details
10
26 267 I can give you half the riches of the Paravaci! Bosk and gold and women and wagons!" "I would suppose," said Ha-Keel, "that all that you have is not worth so much as the golden sphere—and that is Saphrar of Turia's".
Details
10
26 381 Outside the compound of Saphrar, which was now burning, we mounted kaiila to return to the wagons outside the walls.
Details
10
26 420 "I think," I said, "I shall leave the Wagons soon—for I have failed in my mission on behalf of Priest-Kings".
Details
10
26 434 "When did they come to the wagons?" I asked.
Details
10
26 527 "It will soon be time to hunt tumits," growled Kamchak, looking off across the grass toward the wagons beyond the walls.
Details
10
26 528 Well did I recall how Kamchak had made Albrecht of the Kassars pay dearly for the return of his little darling, Tenchika, and how he had roared with laughter because the Kassar had paid such a price, obviously having allowed himself to care for a mere slave girl, and she a Turian at that! "I would g...
Details
10
27 38 "In the morning," called Kamchak, "we return to the wagons".
Details
10
27 55 "For the first time in more than a hundred years," said the Paravaci, "there is a Ubar San, a One Ubar, Master of the Wagons!" Kamchak stood up and threw from his shoulders the purple of the Turian Ubar and stood in the black leather of a Tuchuk.
Details
10
27 75 "I will remain with Albrecht—with the wagons".
Details
10
27 140 "You gambled," I said, "when you did not surrender Turia—to return to defend the bosk and wagons of the Tuchuks—that the others, the Kataii and Kassars, would come to your aid".
Details
10
27 150 As he turned to leave the throne room of Phanius Turmus, to return to the wagons, Aphris lightly rose to her feet to accompany him.
Details
10
27 192 She remained with him in the wagons until her death—the Ubara of the Tuchuks".
Details
10
27 221 "This woman," said Kamchak of the Tuchuks, brusquely, his voice stern but almost breaking, "is called Aphris—know her—she is Ubara of the Tuchuks, she is Ubara Sana, of my heart Ubara Sana!" We let Kamchak and Aphris ride ahead, and followed them, by some hundred yards, toward the main...
