"There are a hundred wagons in the personal household of Kutaituchik," said Kamchak. |
10 |
| 5 | 105 |
"To be of any of these wagons is to be of the First Wagon". |
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. |
10 |
| 6 | 1 |
To the Wagon of Kutaituchik Kamchak strode among the wagons, toward the sound, and I followed him closely. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 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. |

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... |
10 |
| 7 | 41 |
"It is important to keep the axles of the wagons greased," observed Kutaituchik. |
10 |
| 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. |
10 |
| 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. |
10 |
| 8 | 15 |
My main interests, my primary objective, surely lay not in distant Turia, but with the wagons. |
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. |
10 |
| 8 | 28 |
I think that those of the Wagons who instituted the Omen Year, more than a thousand years ago, were wise men. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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... |
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. |
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 ... |
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. |
10 |
| 8 | 226 |
Turian warriors, he told me, enjoy such women, the wild girls of the Wagons. |
10 |
| 8 | 237 |
Among the wagons he was nothing. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 9 | 114 |
"I see," he said, "that you were not raised among the wagons". |
10 |
| 9 | 144 |
Elizabeth Cardwell's being permitted the pelt of the red larl was, as you have doubtless understood, unusual amongst the wagons. |
10 |
| 9 | 306 |
"We have many girls among the wagons quite as good," said Kamchak. |
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... |
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. |
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. |
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 ... |
10 |
| 10 | 126 |
And I myself did not intend to stay among the wagons. |
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. |
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... |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 10 | 298 |
The public slave wagons, incidentally, also provide paga. |
10 |
| 10 | 350 |
The girls of the wagons, as usual, were unveiled. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 10 | 507 |
Kamchak picked his up as though it were a wagon lever, used for loosening the wheels of mired wagons. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 11 | 130 |
She had, of course, in her time with the wagons, become used to this form of exercise. |
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. |
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... |
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". |
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... |
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. |
10 |
| 12 | 32 |
I supposed he was curious about me, not a Tuchuk, not a merchant or singer, yet among the Wagons. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 13 | 9 |
"She would have hidden among the wagons last night," Kamchak said. |
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". |
10 |
| 13 | 55 |
"There is no escape from the wagons," he said. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 14 | 24 |
The wagons, in Turian raids, are burned. |
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. |
10 |
| 14 | 57 |
A few arrows from those who followed us looped weakly up after them, falling then among the wagons. |
10 |
| 14 | 77 |
I will see that the axles of the wagons are greased". |
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. |
10 |
| 15 | 24 |
"We have paid them not to burn the wagons nor slay the bosk," said he. |
10 |
| 15 | 27 |
For some reason this angered me, though, naturally, I was pleased that the wagons and bosk were yet safe. |
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. |
10 |
| 15 | 34 |
"Let the wagons be gathered," he said, "and the bosk turned from Turia". |
10 |
| 15 | 48 |
The afternoon among the wagons was a busy one, for they were preparing to move. |

In the morning the wagons, in their long lines, would follow the slowly moving herds away from Turia. |
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. |
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... |
10 |
| 15 | 106 |
"It is important," I observed, "to keep the axles of wagons greased". |
10 |
| 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. |
10 |
| 16 | 103 |
"Look," I said to him, "the bosk are already moving away—the wagons will withdraw in the morning. |
10 |
| 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. |
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... |
10 |
| 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. |
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. |
10 |
| 20 | 159 |
Then, in the dawn, we saw the wagons below us, and the bosk beyond them. |
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. |
10 |
| 20 | 161 |
This, I knew, was the morning on which the wagons moved away from Turia, toward distant Thassa, the Sea. |
10 |
| 20 | 162 |
Risking arrows, I, followed by Harold, descended to alight among the wagons. |
10 |
| 21 | 2 |
I had left the tarn with the wagons. |
10 |
| 21 | 18 |
"Turn the wagons!" called Kamchak. |
10 |
| 21 | 20 |
Far beyond the wagons I could see the herds of bosk, and the dust from their hoofs stained the horizon. |
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. |
10 |
| 21 | 37 |
Somewhat to my surprise I had no difficulty the next morning, after the withdrawal of the wagons, in entering the city. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 21 | 100 |
Then I realized that I had heard it among the wagons of the Tuchuks. |
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". |
10 |
| 21 | 152 |
On the other hand I noted, irritably, that incoming individuals and wagons were waved ahead with hardly a glance. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 21 | 191 |
It was drawn not by the draft tharlarion like most merchant wagons but, like some, by four brown bosk. |
10 |
| 21 | 207 |
I looked out over the prairie, in the direction that had been taken by the Tuchuk wagons. |
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. |
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. |
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... |
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. |
10 |
| 22 | 161 |
"The wagons and bosk are under attack," he said. |
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. |
10 |
| 23 | 5 |
Harold and I, mounted on kaiila, raced toward these wagons. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 23 | 24 |
"We have our own wagons," said Hakimba, at last. |
10 |
| 23 | 26 |
If the Paravaci attack our wagons, we will fight. |
10 |
| 23 | 35 |
"We have our own wagons," said Hakimba. |
10 |
| 23 | 36 |
"We will watch our own wagons". |
10 |
| 23 | 41 |
"We have our own wagons," he said. |
10 |
| 23 | 42 |
"We will watch our own wagons". |
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. |
10 |
| 23 | 55 |
Our kaiila were spent when we reached the wagons of the Tuchuks and the herds, and we were only two thousand. |
10 |
| 23 | 56 |
Hundreds of the wagons were burning and fighting was taking place among them. |
10 |
| 23 | 59 |
Harold took his Thousand into the Wagons, engaging the Paravaci wherever he could find them. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 23 | 86 |
That night I met with Harold, whose men had been fighting among the wagons. |
10 |
| 23 | 87 |
He had cleared several areas of Paravaci but they were still, here and there, among the wagons. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 23 | 108 |
The sound of their bosk horns was welcome to us, signaling the retreat of those at the wagons. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 23 | 157 |
"Open the wagons!" I cried. |
10 |
| 23 | 161 |
"We have our own wagons," said Hakimba, "but yet we are of the Wagon Peoples". |
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". |
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". |
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". |
10 |
| 23 | 187 |
Later in the afternoon the last of the Paravaci had been cleared from the Tuchuk wagons, wherever they might be found. |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 24 | 3 |
The morning after the Battle at the Wagons I had mounted a rested kaiila and set forth for Turia. |
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... |
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... |
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. |
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. |
10 |
| 24 | 72 |
"But some thousand bosk came today from the wagons," he said. |
10 |
| 24 | 87 |
"It arrived with the bosk along with better than two hundred other wagons today—including yours". |
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". |
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". |
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. |
10 |
| 24 | 155 |
"I suppose, however," he said, "Korobans are impressed with such things—having wagons and such". |
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 ... |
10 |
| 24 | 201 |
We rode a bit into the wagons and then he pointed. |
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... |
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. |
10 |
| 26 | 191 |
We have need of such men among the wagons". |
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". |
10 |
| 26 | 381 |
Outside the compound of Saphrar, which was now burning, we mounted kaiila to return to the wagons outside the walls. |
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". |
10 |
| 26 | 434 |
"When did they come to the wagons?" I asked. |
10 |
| 26 | 527 |
"It will soon be time to hunt tumits," growled Kamchak, looking off across the grass toward the wagons beyond the walls. |
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... |
10 |
| 27 | 38 |
"In the morning," called Kamchak, "we return to the wagons". |
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. |
10 |
| 27 | 75 |
"I will remain with Albrecht—with the wagons". |
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". |
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. |
10 |

She remained with him in the wagons until her death—the Ubara of the Tuchuks". |
10 |

"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... |
