I left cover and rushed to the walkway and was soon climbing up the narrow path that crept around the surface of the globe that now barely contained the frenzied, bubbling fury, the turbulence of the hissing, erupting substance that leaped and smote against the smooth enclosing walls. |

| 31 | 135 |
I climbed the walkway rapidly and soon could see Sarm clearly at the very top of the dome, whence he had once displayed to me the majesty of the Priest-Kings' accomplishments, where he had once indicated to me the modifications of the ganglionic net by means of which his people had won to the enormo... |

10 |

To do more damage he would now have to descend the walkway and reach the paneling itself, perhaps that on the other side of the room, but to do this he would have to pass me, and I was determined that I should not, if possible, allow that to happen. |

10 |
| 31 | 175 |
I knew I could not retreat back down the walkway for Sarm was much faster than I and would be upon me perhaps even before I could turn. |

10 |

10 |

This retreat, though it surrendered the western walkway, decreased the amount of area to be held, and, with these new numbers, increased the defenders there. |

The east walkway could not be long held. |

10 |

I watched them descending the steps to the central walkway. |
10 |
| 17 | 425 |
I turned about and the other young fellow, he who was my messenger to the eastern walkway, climbed to the upper battlements from the eastern stairwell. |
10 |
| 17 | 434 |
I looked to the western walkway and saw the other young fellow with the fellows there. |
10 |
| 17 | 435 |
He was behind their lines, facing the central walkway. |
10 |
| 17 | 437 |
I looked to the eastern walkway. |
10 |
| 17 | 439 |

10 |
| 17 | 444 |

10 |
| 17 | 473 |

10 |
| 17 | 485 |
The stairways, of course, were much narrower than the walkway, and could be held by fewer men in the retreat. |
10 |
| 17 | 499 |
I thrust the slave to her right and she tumbled off the walkway. |
10 |
| 17 | 503 |
For an instant it had been hard to get my hands on the rope, it was moving so, over the edge of the walkway, but, a moment or so after she had struck the hill of debris, I had it in my hands and began to descend it, rapidly, hand over hand. |
10 |
| 17 | 510 |

10 |
| 17 | 525 |

10 |

The other young fellow, he who had been my messenger to the eastern walkway, emerged into the courtyard. |
10 |
| 17 | 533 |
He looked up at the walkway. |
10 |
| 17 | 534 |

"Many others," said a fellow, "fear to tread the walkway". |
10 |
| 18 | 83 |
"There is even a greater reason to avoid the walkway," said another man, bitterly. |
10 |
| 18 | 90 |
"The walkway can be destroyed behind them. |
10 |
| 18 | 111 |
"The walkway has been interdicted," he said. |
10 |
| 18 | 163 |
I detailed men to assist, as they could, shielding them, women and children running toward the walkway. |
10 |
| 18 | 165 |
The nearer portions of the walkway seemed to be growing quarrels like grass. |
10 |
| 18 | 166 |
Many of the bowmen had apparently received orders to seal off the walkway, as they could, this penning the people below between the water and the wall, holding them there, like verr for the slaughter. |
10 |
| 18 | 174 |
The bearers, then, crouching down, behind four fellows holding shields between them and the wall, hurried toward the walkway. |
10 |
| 18 | 179 |
I then sent forth men from the shield wall singly, and in squads, to ferry the women and children, one at a time, or the women carrying children in their arms, beneath the cover of their shields, to the walkway. |
10 |
| 18 | 182 |
I saw the young crossbowman, under the cover of a shield, held by his friend, the other young fellow from the front wall, harvesting quarrels from the walkway. |
10 |
| 18 | 208 |
The shield wall was disrupted, the frightened women and children rushing through it, tearing at it, plunging toward the walkway behind us. |
10 |
| 18 | 211 |
"To the wall!" Behind us we heard the screams of women and children, crowding toward the walkway. |
10 |
| 18 | 212 |
We heard, too, the sounds and screams of those swept, as by a flood, from the landing, and from the sides of the walkway, striking into the water. |
10 |
| 18 | 237 |
They hit the walkway like hail. |
10 |
| 18 | 240 |
"Back to the wall!" I supposed that many of the bowmen on the wall, from the safety of the crenelation, were continuing tenaciously, following their original orders, to seal off, as they could, the walkway, keeping the pen closed, so to speak. |
10 |
| 18 | 261 |
I was not interested in holding the landing itself, except in so far as it protected the walkway. |
10 |
| 18 | 263 |
Indeed, I myself would wish to close the walkway once this evacuation was complete. |
10 |
| 18 | 286 |
She leaped up, sobbing, and fled toward the walkway. |
10 |
| 18 | 291 |
I could see, too, the backs and fins of sharks crowded about the lower edge of the walkway, near the landing. |
10 |
| 18 | 295 |
The water, close to the landing, by the walkway, was white with their thrashing. |
10 |
| 18 | 298 |
Among the free women running to, and on, the walkway, under the partial cover of the shields, I saw slave females, too, barefoot and bare-armed, in their tiny skirts, their necks in their light steel collars. |
10 |
| 18 | 300 |
Among those hastening on the walkway I then saw a naked figure, stumbling, being dragged by a free woman behind her on a leash. |
10 |
| 18 | 320 |
It seemed to me then that most of the women who wished, or dared, to attempt the walkway had done so. |
10 |
| 18 | 321 |
It was well for the men were being beaten back, almost to the beginning of the walkway. |
10 |
| 18 | 329 |
These mostly backed along, protecting their retreat with their shields, making their way in a file between the fellows still in position on the walkway, on each side of it, those I had placed there to afford protection to the women and children. |
10 |
| 18 | 331 |
I held my ground, as men of Ar's Station, one by one, backed past me, onto the walkway. |
10 |
| 18 | 339 |
I took advantage of this to pull in the flanks and send them back over the walkway, and then drew the fellows before me closer, freeing some, the lines then being shortened, to follow their fellows back. |
10 |
| 18 | 393 |
Few quarrels fell now at the entrance to the walkway, for those upon the wall must now fear the striking of their own men. |
10 |
| 18 | 396 |
Now clearly came to the walkway the moans, the weeping protests, the wailing lamentations of beauties finding tight bonds being placed on their bodies. |
10 |
| 18 | 399 |
I had the men of Ar's Station then, to my elation, on the walkway, drawing back on either side of me. |
10 |
| 18 | 401 |
Those who had much fought withdrew up the walkway, between those who had shielded the women. |
10 |
| 18 | 410 |
He had seen the vacillation of his men, that we had gained the walkway, that fresh troops now flanked me. |
10 |
| 18 | 426 |
The Cosians, regulars and mercenaries, responsive to the orders of their officer, advanced some yards onto the walkway. |
10 |
| 18 | 428 |
We saw a shark reach up to the landing, near the walkway, and drag a body, by the leg, back into the water. |
10 |
| 18 | 442 |
"You cannot hold the walkway alone," said a grizzled fellow. |
10 |
| 18 | 450 |
Men were hurrying back down the walkway, toward the piers. |
10 |
| 18 | 477 |
There was considerable excitement on the walkway near, and at, its end, and on the landing. |
10 |
| 18 | 507 |
"Yet, too," he said, "many claim, interestingly, to have seen the same female, she who was supposedly impaled, whoever she was, later on the wall's walkway, and later, too, with the women and children". |
10 |
| 18 | 548 |
We heard the small boats behind us, drawing up, near the pilings beneath the walkway. |
10 |
| 18 | 558 |
"They are marshaling at the end of the walkway," I said. |
10 |
| 18 | 559 |
I heard axes behind us, attacking the pilings of the walkway. |
10 |
| 18 | 569 |
Then, with shield and sword, with the ringing of metal, with shouts, with cries of war, the six of us, I, Marsias, the grizzled fellow, and the three who had come originally to the cell, struck by charging Cosians, almost swept back, struggled to hold the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 2 |
Behind us, some fifteen yards back, the walkway was afire. |
10 |
| 19 | 9 |
At that time the walkway was still intact, though flaming, behind us, and they could be withdrawn through the fire and smoke to the piers. |
10 |
| 19 | 14 |
From these two others climbed to the walkway, to take their place. |
10 |
| 19 | 16 |
Fins slid through the water circling the boats, and back and forth beneath the walkway, among the pilings. |
10 |
| 19 | 17 |
Sometimes, converging, they suddenly knifed toward a splash in the water, as one fellow or another lost his footing, or fell, bloodied, from the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 20 |
Sometimes we could see them being drawn under the walkway, being taken into its shadows. |
10 |
| 19 | 22 |
Often the fish fought for their prey, sometimes under the walkway itself. |
10 |
| 19 | 28 |
In between the assaults we gasped for breath and crouched behind our shields, resting their rims on the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 52 |
Much of the walkway was now gone, or burning. |
10 |
| 19 | 55 |
"We have held the walkway," said a man. |
10 |
| 19 | 58 |
It was true, we had held the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 61 |
It seemed odd, where we were, at the new end of that walkway, at the end of what now seemed a meaningless, eccentric bridge leading out from the landing but stopping abruptly in hewn, charred wood. |
10 |
| 19 | 62 |
The walkway had been cut behind us. |
10 |
| 19 | 65 |
There had been smoke, too, but not enough to affect what occurred on the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 78 |
There were now eleven of us on the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 80 |
One of these was the grizzled fellow, who had been among the first to stand with me on the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 87 |
The rest of us, seven men, watched the small boat pull away from the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 122 |
We, the five of us remaining on the walkway, watched this second small boat pull away, moving slowly toward the piers. |
10 |
| 19 | 132 |
In a bit another one of the tiny boats had come to the walkway and the two fellows embarked in it. |
10 |
| 19 | 133 |
There were then three of us left on the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 143 |
I was then left alone on the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 144 |
I saw a piece of the broken walkway, half submerged, off to the right. |
10 |
| 19 | 148 |
It seemed a long walk, coming toward me, on the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 150 |
The water lapped about the pilings beneath the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 202 |
"The walkway is meaningless," I said to him. |
10 |
| 19 | 207 |
He had not taken more than five steps before a number of Cosians, who had been waiting on the landing, hurried onto the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 211 |
One's shield, he charging, I struck obliquely to the side, and he, in the grip of his own momentum, lost the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 213 |
"Hold, fellows," called the officer, behind the men, he who had come with the gold on the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 224 |
He could not reach the surface of the remains of the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 230 |
His retreat could be traced in the trail of blood on the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 231 |
I put down my shield on the walkway, and extended my hand down to the fellow in the water. |
10 |
| 19 | 235 |
The man in the water, frenzied with terror, his eyes bulging, seized my hand and I drew him to his stomach, to the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 248 |
I turned, suddenly, then, and ran to the end of the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 251 |
A moment or so later a dozen or so Cosians crowded the charred end of the walkway. |
10 |
| 19 | 256 |
I did not think that one of them, given the crowding on the walkway, would attempt the same leap. |
10 |
| 19 | 260 |
The men on the walkway and I regarded one another. |
10 |
| 20 | 5 |
I saw there, Marsias, the grizzled fellow, the men who had originally stood with me on the walkway, and many others. |
10 |
| 20 | 8 |
"You did well, to hold the walkway, you and others," said Aemilianus. |
10 |

I could see the remains of the walkway from where I was. |
10 |
| 20 | 442 |
I looked at the walkway. |
10 |

Marsias, too, and the fellows whom I had encountered in the cell earlier, and who had fought with us on the walkway, were there, too. |
10 |
| 21 | 44 |
"And had you not further delayed Cos at the gate, and on the walkway, the day would have been finished long before the arrival of Calliodorus". |
10 |

In particular, it may not be shared by those who risked their lives in the defense of the city, those who, say, fought upon the wall, or at the gate, or on the landing or walkway. |
10 |

"Indeed, had you not held the wall as long as you did, and the gate, and had you not aided in the evacuation of the landing, and had you not, with others, held the walkway until it could be destroyed behind you, I think there would be few of us here now who would be alive today". |

10 |

10 |

Now she had another role to play, I suspected, one which had doubtless been projected for her earlier, one independent of the entry of the determined, tenacious black-tunicked men onto the walkway, the role of a dangling lure, one which might serve, for some purpose, as a distraction to urts. |

Had he followed me from the Golden Chain? Had he been waiting for the missile to strike me, that he might be the first to reach the body, perhaps to examine it for messages? Was it a mere happenstance that he was on the walkway? Surely he would not know me, not from long ago, in Brundisium. |

I would cross the bridge and return to the Golden Chain by means of the other walkway, the Thieves' Way North. |

Bruno of Torcadino reached out to retrieve the crutch, but the first man kicked it several feet down the walkway. |

His two men descended from the walkway, slipping into the boat. |
