And how disappointed I had been with him, and how ashamed I had been for him, when I had discovered he was involved with the hateful Dorna of Tharna, and perhaps another, in a clandestine scheme to seize the former Lady Julia Leta of Ar and return her, doubtless for some reward, to a stern, vindictive justice far beyond her deserts. - (Quarry of Gor, Chapter 29, Sentence #59)

For what else might I have been any good? So what then might be the connection or relationship between Bruno of Torcadino and Addison Steele?

I recalled the miseries and tortures to which Addison Steele had brought me, the tunic of fire and the noxious fumes of burning powders. Why had he done so? Cared he nothing for me?

I must dismiss him from my mind! I would do so! I must! But Bruno of Torcadino, too, I was sure, despite his tales of a fictive Felitia Thaliana of Besnit, wished to acquire the former Lady Julia Leta of Ar, and obtain some reward contingent on her delivery to Ar. - (Quarry of Gor)
