Acceding to this concern Lord Yamada authorized a requisition of two blankets. I had little doubt that Pertinax had claimed his Jane; on the other hand, there was much stir in the palace the next morning, for Tajima, I would suppose at great risk, had sought out Sumomo in her quarters, subdued her, and apparently carried her, bound and gagged, and wrapped in the blanket, from the palace, through the outer gate, and onto the road north. It was not difficult to come by this intelligence as the palace was alive with it that morning. Whereas I had little love for the vain, smug, supercilious Sumomo I certainly would have had no wish for her to be put to some prolonged, horrid death, of the sort which might be contrived by Lord Yamada's torturers and executioners. I was thus rather pleased at Tajima's boldness, and hoped that he would get Sumomo into a collar as soon as possible. As I had heard nothing for days I assumed that Tajima and Pertinax and their cargos had made it safely back to the encampment, and, as well, to the holding of Lord Temmu, where their reports would be doubtless eagerly awaited. I had little doubt that Lord Yamada seethed with rage at the abduction of Sumomo. - (Rebels of Gor, Chapter )
