But other men, Cosians, within, dozens, some with axes, half breaking the bridges apart, from the inside, forced them down again. - (Renegades of Gor, Chapter 17, Sentence #164)

One, tearing itself free, heedless of the cries and blows of its keeper, ran blindly back toward the city, the men among the engines breaking apart, or climbing on the engines, to let it pass. To my amazement then I saw two uprights of a ladder, a two-upright ladder, not one of the single-pole ladders, suddenly appear but feet from me. - (Renegades of Gor)
