16	157	The voice of the girl in the cage was not the voice of the girl I loved.
2	98	Through the opening came a young girl, somewhat younger than myself, with blond hair bound back.
2	103	"You may have her this evening if you wish," said my father, who had scarcely seemed to notice the girl.
3	145	The girl I had originally seen had been a slave, and what I had taken to be the jewelry at her throat had been a badge of servitude.
3	149	I had not seen the girl since the first day.
5	5	Bound in the saddle in front of me, drugged, her head completely covered with a slave hood buckled under her chin, was a girl.
5	15	I thought of the innocent girl bound senseless before me.
5	29	The girl on the saddle before me stirred, the effect of the drug wearing off.
5	35	Raiders from Ar had struck at the tarn flocks and the outlying cylinders of Thentis, and the girl had been captured.
5	37	He, in accordance with the plan of the Council, had need of a girl who would be willing to give her life to be avenged on the men of Ar.
5	60	The girl, Sana, whom I carried on the saddle before me, would dress in the heavy robes and veils of the Ubar's daughter and return in her place to the interior of the cylinder.
5	65	The girl before me groaned and shook herself, her hands, unsteady, going to the slave hood, which was buckled over her head.
5	69	But she was, of course, a girl of mountainous Thentis, famed for its fierce tarn flocks.
5	70	Such a girl would not frighten easily.
5	81	The girl looked back at me, puzzled.
5	92	It was not easy to talk on the back of the great tarn, with the wind, and, besides, though I wanted to communicate with the girl, I felt I could not.
5	97	"Where are you going, Master?" The word "Master," though it had come appropriately enough from the girl, who was, legally at least, my property, startled me.
5	107	"Why?" What could I tell her? That I had come from another world, that I was determined that all the ways of Gor should not be mine, or that I had cared for her, somehow, so helpless in her condition—that she had moved me to regard her not as an instrumentality of mine or of the Council, but ...
6	14	In a moment he had taken flight again, bawling out some semblance of a song about the woes of a camp girl, the bag of paga, flying behind him, dangling from its long straps.
6	24	As my tarn struck down on the platform and I leaped from its back, I heard a girl's scream.
6	26	I raced to the pile of stones at the center of the platform, the girl's screaming in my ears.
6	40	He was in the air, and the passage of arrows sang in my ears, the cries of enraged men, and the long, piercing, terrified scream of a girl.
6	45	I couldn't afford to carry the extra weight, but neither could I bring myself to cut the ladder free and send the girl hurtling to her death.
6	50	The girl was whimpering in terror, and her muscles and fingers seemed frozen.
6	53	I felt sorry for the girl, a helpless pawn in this sorry man's game of empire, and the tiny animal noises she uttered moved me to pity.
6	118	I imagined the girl alone on the back of the fierce tarn, unskilled in the mastery of such a mount, without even a tarn-goad to protect herself, if the bird should turn on her.
6	130	About two or three minutes later I heard the hunger grunt of a wild tharlarion and a moment afterward the piercing scream of a terrified girl.
6	135	Almost too rapid to be visible, a long brown lash of a tongue darted from its mouth and curled around the slender, helpless figure of the girl.
6	140	I rushed between its mouth and the girl, and with a swift downward slash of my blade severed that foul brown tongue.

3	14	The shadows of the pasang stones had grown long, and, judging by the angle of these shadows, for the stones are set in such a way as to serve also as sundials, it was past the fourteenth Gorean ahn, or hour.
3	15	The Gorean day is divided into twenty ahn, which are numbered consecutively.
3	16	The tenth ahn is noon, the twentieth, midnight.
3	17	Each ahn consists of forty Ehn, or minutes, and each Ehn of eighty Ihn, or seconds.
17	79	The working day is fifteen Gorean hours, or ahn, which, allowing for the slight difference in the period of the planet's rotation, would be approximately eighteen Earth hours.
8	30	The same maiden whom her father must harshly order into the presence of her suitor, the same shy girl who, her parents approvingly note, finds herself delicately unable to raise her eyes in his presence, is probably the same girl who slapped him with a fish yesterday and ...
21	73	"Sorry, Sweet Wench," said the grizzled man, giving the girl's head a friendly shake, "but we don't want Targo coming over here with his whip and beating the tharlarion oil out of us both, do we?" Sobbing silently the girl's head fell down again on her breast.
21	229	And many of the cities of Gor were represented on that chain, sometimes spoken of as the Slaver's Necklace—there was a blond girl from lofty Thentis, a dark-skinned girl with black hair that fell to her ankles from the desert city of Tor, girls from t...

24	215	Thorn was silent, for how could he claim to know that the girl was not Lara, when presumably he had never looked upon the face of the true Tatrix? "I am she," cried the girl.
26	99	"And if the time should come, Warrior, when you should desire a slave girl, some girl to wear your silk and your collar, your brand if you wish—remember Lara, who is Tatrix of Tharna".
1	142	It was a document pertaining to what Cabot called the Counter-Earth, the story of a warrior, of the siege of a city, and of the love of a girl.
2	14	So standing, the sun upon me, without thinking I raised my arms as in pagan prayer to acknowledge the power of the Priest-Kings, which had once again brought me from Earth to this world, the power which once before had torn me from Gor when they were finished with me, taking me from my adopted city,...
6	59	Why was the girl alone? Had her protectors been killed? Was she perhaps an escaped slave, fleeing from a hated master? Could she be, like myself, an exile from Ko-ro-ba? Its peoples have been scattered, I said to myself, and no two stones and no two men of Ko-ro-ba may stand again side...
6	73	Then, to the festive music of flutes and drums, the girl kneels.
6	77	It is a sound the girl will never forget.
6	81	Now all eyes are on the girl.
6	99	Perhaps the girl hesitates.
6	101	Then, to the barbaric, intoxicating music of the flute and drums, she dances for her captor, the bells on her ankles marking each of her movements, the movements of a girl stolen from her home, who must now live to please the bold stranger whose binding fiber she had felt, whose collar...
6	105	From that moment on, the young man's sisters never again serve him, for that is the girl's task.
6	112	The girl knows, if she pleases him, her lot will be an easy one.
6	116	I wondered if the girl approaching was beautiful.
6	121	I decided the girl was beautiful.
6	123	Such a girl, I thought, would surely have a master or, I hoped for her sake, a protector and companion.
6	131	The girl was now quite close to me, and yet had not seen me.
6	166	"One of whom?" I asked, now alert, for if there were slavers on the trail of this girl it would mean trouble, perhaps bloodshed.
6	189	"I have fled from those men for six days," wept the girl, "living on berries and insects, sleeping in ditches, hiding, running".
6	200	I gently disengaged myself from the girl, and shoved her behind me.
6	209	From behind me the girl whispered, an abject whisper.
6	218	The girl gave a gasp of astonishment and looked at me questioningly.

29	69	For half a Gorean ahn we hung there, none of us moving.
29	70	Then for a full Gorean ahn did we remain there, motionless above the complex.
1	80	Thus one practical effect of the edict of the Priest-Kings is that each Gorean girl must, at least once in her life, leave her walls and take the very serious risk of becoming a slave girl, perhaps the prize of a pirate or outlaw.
5	251	I could understand that she, a proud, intelligent girl, could not but resent the indignities of her position, being forced to serve with the full offices of the slave girl whomsoever the Priest-Kings might see fit to send to her chamber, but yet I found in these grievance...

28	105	On the other hand I have never truly objected to the title because I had not been long on Gor before I understood, for some reason that is not yet altogether clear to me, that the word "Master" can indescribably thrill a girl when she finds it on her lips, now those of a slave gi...

5	2	I grasped the hand that held the sponge and found that I held a girl's wrist.
5	13	"Please," said the girl.
5	31	The girl rose and carried the bronze laver to a drain in one corner of the room and emptied it.
5	59	As I had expected about her white throat there was fastened, graceful and gleaming, the slender, close-fitting collar of a Gorean slave girl.
5	60	It was a collar like most others, of steel, secured with a small, heavy lock which closed behind the girl's neck.
5	61	"You see," said the girl, "I did not lie to you".

5	64	"Nonetheless," she said, "I am a slave girl".
5	68	So she was a slave girl.

6	14	I was astonished, for this girl was dressed not as a Gorean, not as a girl of any of the cities of the Counter-Earth, not as a peasant of the Sa-Tarna fields or the vineyards where the Ta grapes are raised, not even as a girl of the fierce Wagon Peoples.
7	254	How she had challenged him, how she had walked, how insolent she had been! Perhaps in that moment she thought how amused the man might be could he see her now, that proud girl, now in the Sirik, her head to the pelt of a larl, kneeling to barbarians, begging to be a slave girl
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 thousa...

8	336	The next girl, a lithe Kassar girl, stepped into the circle and Kamchak unstrapped his bola.
9	133	The Turian camisk, unlike the common camisk, will cover a girl's brand; on the other hand, unlike the common camisk, it leaves the back uncovered and can be tied, and is, snugly, the better to disclose the girl's beauty.
9	134	In donning the camisk the girl will tie the camisk behind the back of her neck; the rather vertical bar then falls before her, and she will then pull it to the sides, and tie it behind her back, this providing some shielding, though not much, for the beauty of her bosom; the farther pa...

11	11	"Slave girl! Slave girl!" She then turned and strode away, looking for warriors of the Kassars.
12	485	She was gentle, not understanding, naive, in her way foolish—a girl of Earth but not on Earth—not a woman of Gor female on her own barbaric world—she would always be of Earth—the bright, pretty girl with the stenographer's pad—like many ...

14	135	It seemed probable, with a decent start, which we had, we could stay ahead of the pursuing ram-ships, if we chose, either indefinitely, or, if they were faster, which I doubted, at least for several ahn.
14	141	In another quarter of an ahn I could count thirty ram-ships engaged in our pursuit.
14	150	After two ahn, sometimes increasing the beat, sometimes decreasing it, depending on whether or not we wished to avoid being actually overtaken or we wished to encourage our pursuers, we had spread them behind us in a long, straggling line, its spacing an index to the speed of their ind...

17	41	Each of my fifty sets of attacking tarn ships would be followed, by some half of an ahn, by another pair of my tarn ships, which, hopefully, would be able to take a number of these come-about ships of Cos and Tyros from the rear.
