4 118 The Older Tarl and I may have drunk too much of that fermented brew concocted with fiendish skill from the yellow grain, Sa-Tarna, and called Pagar-Sa-Tarna, Pleasure of the Life-Daughter, but almost always "paga" for short.

22 146 In those days it had been a portion of the Rites of Submission, as practiced in Tharna, to strip and bind the captive with yellow cords and place her on a scarlet rug, the yellow of the cord being symbolic of talenders, a flower often associated with feminine love and beauty, the scarlet of the rug ...

17 62 I certainly had nothing in mind so ridiculous as to hurl at enemies the one weapon which might mean life or death to me in my struggle in the Yellow Pool of Turia.

10
17 71 Though it might have been my imagination it seemed that the pool's yellow had now become enriched and that the shifting fluid hues that confronted me had achieved new ranges of brilliance.

17 93 Feet first, quiva in hand, I plunged into the yellow fluid.

18 44 Then suddenly, the yellow, encircling cementlike substance had oozed from my limbs and I could take two or three free steps.

10
18 59 Then I was swimming freely in the yellow fluid at the center of the pool.
Details
10
18 60 Beneath me, vaguely, several feet under the surface, I could see a collection, almost like threads and granules in a transparent bag, of intertwined, writhing filaments and spheres, imbedded in a darkish yellow jelly, walled in by a translucent membrane.
Details
10
18 61 Quiva in my teeth I dove toward the deepest part of the Yellow Pool of Turia, where glowed the quickness and substance of the living thing in which I swam.
Details
10
18 65 Still I dug in the yellow fluid, hands and fingernails bleeding, and then, when it seemed my lungs would burst and darkness was engulfing me and I would lose consciousness, I felt a globular, membranous tissue, wet and slimy, recoil spasmodically from my touch.

18 67 It seemed that the living, amorphous globe of matter which I struck began to move away, slithering away in the yellow fluids, but I pursued it, one hand in the torn membrane and continued to slash and tear at it.

10
25 137 She leaned back on her heels, drawing the yellow silken sheet more closely about her shoulders, and looked at me, smiling.

25 159 Gracefully, insolently, the silken yellow sheet moved about and across her body and fell from her.

25 175 She had now picked up the yellow sheet and, with a pin or two, booty from Turia probably, fastened it gracefully about her.
