4	84	"He who attacked you, the pirate chieftain," I said, "who was he".	10
6	50	For several weeks I had moved from one river town to the next, examining slave markets and attempting to obtain information on the whereabouts of the pirate, Kliomenes.	10
6	122	I knew she had been taken recently, and by Kliomenes, the pirate.	10
7	120	"By a pirate," he said.	10
7	123	"May I inquire as to what crew it was of which that pirate was a member?" I asked.	10
7	134	"Are you familiar with a pirate named Kliomenes?" I asked.	10
8	156	Who is he?" "He is Kliomenes, the pirate, lieutenant to Policrates," said Tasdron.	10
10	269	Had it not been for him I would doubtless have been slain by the pirate, Kliomenes.	10
11	15	"Do you recall I was the fellow who challenged in this tavern, and who was threatened by Kliomenes, the pirate, the fellow who was saved, happily, by one called Callimachus".	10
18	34	"In my own tavern," said Tasdron, "he had difficulty with Kliomenes, the pirate.	10
19	109	I was startled to hear this name, for it was the name of he who had saved me, some weeks ago, from the steel of Kliomenes, the pirate.	10
20	1	The Tavern of Hibron; I Return Home Alone "Stand back," said the pirate.	10
20	5	"Make no unfortunate move," said the pirate, he who had spoken to me before.	10
20	13	Then, after two Ahn of searching, I had found her here, near the wharves, unattended, in the tavern of Hibron, a miserable tavern, a low place, called the pirate's Chain.	10
21	59	"Is it also known how I withdrew from the tavern of Hibron, the pirate's Chain, when I sought there the Lady Beverly?" I asked.	10
21	145	"By now she doubtless wears the steel loops of a pirate's pleasure girl," she said.	10
22	5	The sword of the pirate, in a drunken swing, had grazed my chest.	10
22	9	The pirate turned away, laughing.	10
22	17	I watched the pirates, perhaps some fifty or sixty of them, unchallenged, moving between warehouses and the wharves, where two pirate galleys were moored.	10
22	28	I heard a woman scream and saw her, thrown over the shoulder of a laughing pirate, a brawny fellow, being carried to one of the galleys.	10
22	33	The pirate threw the woman to his feet near the nearest galley and there stripped her and handed her to a comrade who stood on board the galley.	10
22	45	"So, too, were they," said the man, angrily, gesturing to the bound woman at the railing of the pirate galley.	10
22	48	"You there, Female," called a pirate, his eye roaming the crowd, "step forth!" The men holding the ship's pole, frightened, lowered it.	10
22	49	"Step forth!" said the pirate.	10
22	51	"Unhood her, face-strip her," ordered the pirate.	10
22	59	"Step forth, Beauty," said the pirate.	10
22	62	Swiftly, before us all, in the light of the flames, was the woman stripped by the pirate's blade.	10
22	68	The pirate then looked at us, and laughed.	10
22	78	For a long moment or two the point of the blade remained at her throat, as the pirate considered the girl's plea.	10
22	85	"We do what we wish with Victoria," said the pirate.	10
22	186	I had seen her kneel naked before a pirate and, his blade at her throat, with her own hands, tie the knot of bondage in her hair, in full view of hundreds of her fellow citizens.	10
23	214	I recalled her having been stripped by the pirate, and his blade at her throat.	10
23	296	"Kliomenes fell in with her at the tavern of Hibron, the pirate's Chain, in Victoria," he said.	10
24	743	A pirate stood there, he who had brought Beverly to me last night, who had now come to fetch me to breakfast.	10
24	745	I nodded to the pirate, indicating my readiness to accompany him.	10
24	751	Curious, the pirate brushed past me, going to the girl.	10
24	790	The pirate laughed.	10
24	793	The pirate then walked slowly towards her.	10
24	798	The pirate stood looking at her, his hands on his hips.	10
24	804	The pirate then turned about and rejoined me, by the door.	10
27	44	I had learned in the stronghold of Policrates, the pirate, that the beautiful Miss Henderson was, in her heart, a slave among slaves.	10
28	98	Later, of course, she had been captured by Kliomenes, the lieutenant to Policrates, the pirate, and taken to the stronghold of Policrates.	10
29	84	"Besides, how do I know this is not a pirate trick to lure the fleet of Ar's Station into an ambush in cramped waters?" "You have my word on it," said Callimachus, "the word of a warrior".	10
29	102	Twice I had been demeaned by pirates, once in the tavern of Tasdron, and once in the pirate's Chain, the tavern of Hibron.	10
29	114	"Too, should there be any massing of pirate ships, we can meet them with the fleet of Port Cos".	10
30	14	She, nude, kneeling, the blade of the pirate at her throat, had tied the knot of bondage in her own hair.	10
30	81	It could have been done with simplicity in the privacy, in the secrecy, of an alcove, her head to a pirate's feet.	10
30	203	"Yes, my Master," said the pirate's slave.	10
31	1	The Chamber of the Windlass; I Begin to Put my Plan into Effect "Cease your lying!" cried the pirate.	10
31	17	"Push!" cried the pirate.	10
31	28	"Push, push! Move!" called the pirate.	10
31	33	The pirate walked about us.	10
31	41	"Work, work!" called the pirate.	10
31	116	"Do not slack, you Sleen," said the pirate, snapping his whip.	10
31	124	"Keep moving," called the pirate.	10
31	131	"Hold!" called the pirate.	10
31	154	"The gate is soon to be closed," said the pirate.	10
31	164	"Be ready!" called the pirate.	10
31	173	"Liar!" screamed the pirate.	10
31	175	"Persist in these lies," cried the pirate, "and I will bring the matter to the attention of Kliomenes himself!" "Forgive me, Captain," I said, as though frightened.	10
31	181	"Lower the gate!" Then, far above us, and to the right of the windlass chamber, angry, entering out onto a small balcony extending into the chamber, a balcony reached through a guardroom, we saw a pirate.	10
31	183	"Nothing!" called the pirate who had been striking me.	10
31	185	The pirate with us glared at me, in fury.	10
31	189	"Listen! Get the gate down!" "Lower the gate!" cried the pirate with us, angrily.	10
31	192	I met the eyes of the pirate.	10
32	17	"Why have I been brought here, Captain?" I asked the pirate at my side, who had conducted me to the tiles of the hall.	10
32	27	"The disposition of loot," said a pirate.	10
32	41	And, indeed, does that mark not tell us that they are all, in a sense, from the homeliest pot girl to the embonded treasure of a Ubar, only common kajirae? The pirate behind the girl, who had thrust her forward, unknotted the cord from her throat, that which held the cloth over her hea...	10
32	44	The pirate drew the cloth away from the slave.	10
32	59	"Yes," said the pirate.	10
32	80	"You were to escort the Tamira back to the vicinity of the chain," said Kliomenes, regarding the pirate who had presented the loot before him.	10
32	81	"How is it that you dallied en route to engage in more prosaic transactions?" "It was gold lying on the sand, fruit ripe to be plucked," shrugged the pirate.	10
32	83	"They are safe," the pirate assured him.	10
32	84	"What is the Tamira?" I asked the pirate next to me.	10
32	93	"No," said the pirate next to me.	10
32	100	"We have friends at the chain," said the pirate.	10
32	106	"Is this," he asked, "truly an equal division of the spoils of the Flower of Siba?" "We have something of the better of it, in my opinion," said the pirate before the dais.	10
32	108	"Not much of great value is currently moving on the river," said the pirate.	10
32	112	"True, Captain," said the pirate.	10
32	115	The pirate before the dais signaled to some men and they removed the coins, the jewelry and pearls from before the dais.	10
32	116	"And what of this?" asked the pirate before the dais, taking the girl by the hair and forcing her head up and back, bending then her body back, so as to reveal the bow of her enslaved beauty.	10
32	119	He gestured that the pirate should release her, and he did so.	10
32	135	"He maintains," said the pirate who had conducted me to the room, he normally in charge of the crews of the windlass, "that he deceived both you and Policrates, and us all, by posing as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard".	10
32	144	"He spoke of you as a dolt," said the pirate.	10
32	186	In one hand I still clutched, with apparent ineptness, and as though in fear, the sword which I had been commanded to take from the pirate.	10
33	54	Doubtless she revealed our plans to the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, or to a pirate in Tasdron's tavern, perhaps while moaning with pleasure in his arms, perhaps hoping to win her freedom by her treachery".	10
33	89	More importantly, she would doubtless be carrying papers linking her with Policrates, such papers as the signs and countersigns whereby the actions of the joint pirate fleets might be integrated and directed".	10

Book 16. (69 results) Guardsman of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
16	24	I saw a pirate fall over the body of another pirate, who had been struck with an arrow.	10
1	49	At the chain, settling back, its concave bow lifted fully from the water, its stern awash, was a pirate galley.	10
1	51	Beyond this ship, too, there was another pirate galley, crippled, listing.	10
1	109	I could see, even as he spoke, several of the pirate vessels drawing back, abeam of the chain, but far enough behind it to prevent our ram from reaching them.	10
1	110	Off our port bow we saw one of the pirate vessels slip beneath the muddy waters of the Vosk, a kill of the Mira.	10
1	117	Other men dove free into the river, swimming back about the bow of the nearest pirate vessel.	10
1	158	Not more than a dozen feet away I could see a pirate longboat behind the chain, protected by wicker shields.	10
1	172	The pirate vessels, too, had withdrawn from the chain.	10
2	71	The pirate boats, at the chain, need only draw back".	10
2	72	"The longboat," said Callimachus, "should be west of the chain, that it may approach the pirate boats less suspiciously".	10
2	96	We had actually passed within a few yards of pirate vessels, anchored in the river.	10
2	107	"What is going on out there?" called a voice, from one of the pirate vessels, back from the chain.	10
2	209	We were hailed by men in pirate vessels, as we passed near them, but we did not respond.	10
3	54	As we came about a pirate galley knifed towards us.	10
3	60	As the ships passed I had looked into the eyes of a pirate.	10
3	91	Here and there, at the chain, again and again, pirate galleys were striking at the great links, and then backing away, and then again, patiently, renewing their attack.	10
3	98	Two stones looped into the air and then, gracefully, began their descent toward one of the pirate ships.	10
3	105	We came upon the wreckage of a pirate galley, broken in two, deserted.	10
3	107	"There is a pirate galley behind us, a pasang back, lying to!" called out a man, aft on the stern castle.	10
4	104	The pirate galleys began to back oars, frantically to extricate themselves, but, clumsily, half swung about, they must accept our fire.	10
4	210	I saw a pirate galley slip under the water, near the chain.	10
5	5	The other was on the railing of the pirate vessel.	10
5	10	The port shearing blade of the pirate vessel was torn, splintering strakes, from its hull.	10
5	18	Only the blood at the pirate's throat marked its passage.	10
5	20	I leaped onto the deck of the pirate vessel, slashing about myself.	10
5	27	I nearly struck, by accident, an oarsman from the Tina, too on the pirate's vessel.	10
5	36	We had ten or more men fighting on the pirate vessel in the vicinity of her stem castle.	10
5	53	A pirate leaped toward me and I cut him from the platform.	10
5	55	Behind me I could see another pirate vessel looming.	10
5	199	These constructions, some twenty-five feet in length, and some seven feet in width, as the pirates scattered back in their path, crashed downward, their great bent spikes shattering into the decking of the pirate ships, anchoring the ships together, yet holding them some ...	10
5	208	In moments had the decks of both pirate vessels been cleared.	10
5	214	We watched the great planked constructions being pried up from the decks of the pirate ships.	10
7	13	I did not know if he were a pirate or not.	10
7	19	Fusillades of javelins, struck from springals, hailed down on pirate ships as frequently as they did on ours.	10
8	382	Through a gap in the pirate fleet, I could see that the beleaguered, desperate ships of the defenders fought on, stoutly.	10
8	384	Yet I did not think they could withstand the concerted attacks of the pirate fleets for another day.	10
8	388	There, tied upon it, helpless, was she who had been the woman of a pirate captain, she who had been the woman of one of my enemies.	10
8	396	I looked again, out the window, at the ships of the pirate fleet, and at the defenders, and then I returned to the table, and sat before it.	10
8	400	That the defenders had lasted this long was a function largely of two factors, first, of the crowding of the pirate fleet which made it difficult for them to bring their rams and shearing blades into play, and, secondly, the unusually large numbers, and skill, of the soldiers of Ar who...	10
8	412	It was at this time that I heard the signal horns of the pirate fleet.	10
8	415	As I had thought the pirate fleet was now drawing back.	10
8	417	The pirate ships now, sent forward judiciously, singly or doubly, supported as need be, no longer crowded together in useless attempts at boarding, could now bring their rams and shearing blades into play against the cornered, pathetically outnumbered barks of the defenders.	10
9	104	* * * * We could hear the shouting, as though of a pirate victory, coming from over the water.	10
9	331	She had perhaps been struck by one of the pirate ships, or perhaps, earlier, a casualty from a previous day, had come loose from one of the bars in the river.	10
10	59	We did not think that the pirate vessels had been brought on rollers about the beach south of the chain's terminal pylons to the south.	10
10	66	When picked up by the vessels of the pirate fleet, turning westward, having discovered the ruse of the Olivia, they would report what they had heard.	10
10	68	It would be assumed by those of the pirate fleet that we, if we could make it west of the chain, would surely fly to one of the western towns for refuge.	10
10	82	While vessels followed our putative course, and the balance of the pirate fleet, regrouping and repairing injuries, waited upon their return, we sped, in alternating shifts, day and night, toward the holding of Policrates.	10
10	188	A pirate leapt past me and fled down the walk.	10
10	191	"The Tais!" cried the pirate.	10
10	203	I struck the sword from the hand of the pirate within and spun him about, seizing him by the neck.	10
12	55	I had, indeed, earlier speculated from pirate strategies that the fleet had been under the command not of the Voskjard, but of a lesser man.	10
12	206	Fifteen pirate ships have been destroyed.	10
16	19	"Fight!" I saw a pirate being strangled with a chain.	10
16	20	I saw a flailing chain, doubled, tear a pirate's head half from his body.	10
16	26	An instant later he had caught another pirate by the neck, with the horizontally mounted hook on the staff and pulled him backward.	10
16	30	An ax split the side of the helmet open of another pirate.	10
16	42	I saw him strike a pirate in the back of the neck with his sword, cutting his head half from his body, who had turned to run.	10
16	59	"Oars outboard!" I could see the pirate ship to my left, across the wharf, moored on the opposite side, its mooring ropes cut, backing away from the wharf.	10
16	61	A pirate running for the ship missed the bow rail and fell into the water.	10
16	80	"You have not heard the last of us! We are coming back, you sleen! We are coming back!" Then the stern of the ship struck against another pirate galley, trying to extricate itself from the press of ships.	10
16	88	There was another heavy, grating noise as the stern of the ship was struck again, by another pirate vessel.	10
16	201	This made no sense to me, for the pirate ships, so closely packed, so struggling, could not, even by accident, have achieved the momentum for such an impact.	10
16	207	There was screaming from pirate ships.	10
16	233	The flagship of Policrates rocked, struck by another pirate ship, it lurching to port.	10
16	249	Scarcely had we climbed to the deck than the pirate ship to starboard, shifting, grated laterally along the flagship.	10
16	252	"Back oars!" We heard a pirate ship, somewhere to starboard, being boarded.	10
18	630	"Later," she said, "courting slavery, for which I yearned in my heart, I went to the tavern of Hibron in Victoria, called the pirate's Chain.	10
18	631	I fell in there with one called Kliomenes, who was a lieutenant to the pirate Policrates.	10

2	116	More than once we had lowered our masts and sails, and our low ships, painted green, the pirate color, difficult to detect in the waves of Thassa, had lain almost flat in the water.	10
