My name is Adraste! I am Adraste, Adraste!" "If it pleases Master?" "Yes, of course," she said, "if it pleases Master". |
10 |
| 25 | 351 |
"I do not know," said Adraste, "but you failed to sell me for your freedom in Ar!" "You looked well on your knees, at the feet of Seremides," she said, "bound, helpless, waiting, in the rag of a slave!" "You betrayed me!" said Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 4 |
The name given to the slave was Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 5 |
"It was you, in Ar, who threw me the rag of a slave!" hissed Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 6 |
I had taken Alcinoë by the hair, bent her over, and thrust her into the same small kennel with Adraste, and had then swung shut the gate, it locking with its closure. |
10 |
| 25 | 99 |
"It was you, in Ar, who threw me the rag of a slave!" hissed Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 101 |
"I was naked, save for it!" said Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 102 |
"I would not have given you so much," said Alcinoë, "despicable traitress!" "I am Ubara!" said Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 104 |
"I am Ubara!" wept Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 106 |
Adraste clutched the collar on her neck, and shook it, as though it might be removed. |
10 |
| 25 | 108 |
"You, too, you slut," said Adraste, "are collared. |
10 |
| 25 | 109 |
You, too, are a slave!" It may be recalled that I had taken Alcinoë by the hair, bent her over, and thrust her into same small kennel with Adraste, and had then swung shut the gate, it locking with its closure. |
10 |
| 25 | 113 |
"Slave, slave!" cried Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 114 |
* * * * I had earlier sought out Adraste's kennel, and stood before it. |
10 |
| 25 | 116 |
Adraste, within, kneeling, in the rather generous tunic, given to the slaves by the Pani, looked out, through the bars. |
10 |
| 25 | 137 |
"Master?" "You are the slave, Adraste". |
10 |
| 25 | 200 |
"As long as I am only Adraste," she said, "we are both more safe". |
10 |
| 25 | 344 |
"Who," she said, "who?" I then turned away, leaving the slave, Adraste, in the kennel. |
10 |
| 25 | 346 |
"Slave, slave!" had cried Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 349 |
"I do not know," said Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 353 |
"Do not pretend fidelity to the Home Stone," said Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 360 |
"You look well in a collar," said Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 361 |
"You should have always worn one!" "I see a metal circlet on your neck," said Alcinoë, "slave!" "How came you here?" asked Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 363 |
"I was purchased, honestly and openly, in Brundisium, by Pani!" "As a common slave," sneered Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 372 |
"I would have sold for a thousand pieces of gold!" said Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 382 |
"I am the most beautiful woman on Gor!" said Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 389 |
"See!" said Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 391 |
"Surely not," said Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 405 |
"I thought you were my friend, my closest friend," said Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 407 |
"No!" said Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 409 |
"You are vain, and pretentious, deceitful, treacherous!" "You used me!" said Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 411 |
"It was with overwhelming pleasure that I, on the command of Seremides, hunted you down in your chambers, where you cowered, alone, unguarded, forsaken, and cast you the rag of a slave, demanding that you strip yourself naked and put it on!" "She-sleen!" cried Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 412 |
"How well it looked on you!" "She-tharlarion, she-urt!" cried Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 414 |
"And for you!" cried Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 428 |
"You well know, Master," said Adraste, "how to teach a woman her collar". |
10 |
| 28 | 70 |
"Adraste," she said, "if it pleases master". |
10 |
| 28 | 71 |
"You are very beautiful, Adraste," he said. |
10 |
| 28 | 78 |
I thought I saw the trace of a smile on the lips of Adraste. |
10 |
| 28 | 105 |
"Nor I," said Adraste. |
10 |
| 28 | 107 |
"Doubtless it amuses the Master," said Adraste, "that I, who was Ubara, should serve men, as a serving slave". |
10 |
| 28 | 108 |
"And that I," said Alcinoë, "who was second only to the Ubara herself should serve so, as well!" "Perhaps you would prefer to serve the long tables, in the courtyard," I said, "serve, say, Tarl Cabot, if he is there, and Seremides, who may well be there, and others?" "No, Master," said Adraste, q... |
10 |
| 28 | 110 |
"But that we should serve, at all," said Adraste. |
10 |
| 28 | 113 |
"Very amusing," said Adraste. |
10 |
| 28 | 114 |
"And I will tell you, pretty Adraste, how you will serve them," I said. |
10 |
| 28 | 122 |
Frightened, Adraste drew her tunic off, over her head. |
10 |
| 28 | 123 |
"How wonderful, how splendid," said Alcinoë, "she who was Talena of Ar, now a stripped serving slave!" "Men," I told Adraste, "find it pleasant to be served by naked slaves". |
10 |
| 28 | 124 |
"Master," moaned Adraste. |
10 |
| 28 | 136 |
"Slave!" said Adraste to her. |
10 |
| 28 | 139 |
How beautiful are women, so! "I hate you, Master," said Adraste. |
10 |
| 28 | 141 |
"I was Ubara!" said Adraste. |
10 |
| 28 | 151 |
I wiped the tears from the cheeks of Adraste, and softly touched the eyes of Alcinoë, that her eyes not sparkle with her distress, and shame. |
10 |
| 28 | 164 |
Adraste knelt beside him, at the edge of the small table, bent forward, and kissed the whip, which he extended to her. |
10 |
| 28 | 166 |
He handed the whip to Leros, and Alcinoë knelt at his place, and leaned forward, kissing in her turn the whip proffered to her lips, and then, as Adraste before her, placed the plate humbly before the free man. |
10 |
| 28 | 167 |
Soon Adraste would return, with another plate, and the whip would be passed to the next fellow. |
10 |
| 28 | 256 |
"And perhaps you, Adraste," I said, "would be pleased, in your collar, to serve naked, at another's feast". |
10 |
| 28 | 267 |
"Yes, Master," said Adraste. |

"Do not abandon Adraste! Do not leave Adraste behind! Please, wait, Master! Adraste dares not rise from her knees without permission! Adraste begs Master to take her with him". |
10 |
| 61 | 687 |
"I am called 'Adraste'," she said. |
10 |
| 61 | 844 |
You are Adraste, a slave at the World's End". |
10 |
| 61 | 878 |
"You are Adraste," I said, "a slave". |
10 |
| 61 | 879 |
"Then for Adraste," she said, "a slave!" "What fool could love a slave?" I asked. |
10 |
| 61 | 1079 |
The dark eyes of the slave, Adraste, flashed with fury. |
10 |
| 61 | 1168 |
"Do not leave Adraste here!" she wept. |

"Do not sell me!" "Well, Adraste, mediocre slave," said the auctioneer to his charge, the merchandise being vended at the moment, "it seems we can get no more for you than a silver tarsk ten". |
10 |
| 31 | 115 |
"Stand upright, Adraste," said the auctioneer. |
10 |

"What manner of name is 'Adraste', Master?" I asked. |

What if it had not been a coincidence, as I had hitherto supposed, that you had been substituted for Adraste? What if it had been deliberate? What if there were some connection between you and Adraste, a connection that even you did not suspect? What if you were a barbarian, which it turned out you ... |

"It was clever of the house master to put this one, a plainer girl, and a barbarian, before Adraste," said the fellow who had relieved Adraste of her bonds. |
10 |
| 13 | 167 |
Sheets were exchanged, mine with Adraste's, in such a way that abductors thought me Adraste". |
10 |

"You are to watch Adraste and, more especially, any who might seem to watch Adraste or pay her any attentions other than those likely to be accorded to any other paga girl. |

Adraste and I Exchange Pleasantries "I see no reason, Adraste," I said, "why we cannot be friends". |
10 |
| 25 | 109 |
I also realized that Adraste's present "captors" or "holders," my work and role having been compromised by my abduction and my now being in the keeping of the one-legged man, might not only not need me any longer, but might regard it as judicious to have me disappear, and far more effectively than h... |
10 |
| 34 | 77 |
I gathered then that there was little importance now attaching to the former Lady Julia Leta, of Ar, or, more likely, given Adraste's recent withdrawal from the tavern, that I had been given false information, and that Adraste's former identity was not that of a Lady Julia Leta, of Ar. |
10 |
| 45 | 157 |
We seek the slave, a stolen slave, Adraste, Adraste!" An Ehn or two later I saw again the figure, now returned, which had interposed itself between Vas of Anango and Seremides. |
10 |
| 2 | 69 |
"To the ramp, Adraste," I heard, from behind me. |
10 |
| 2 | 85 |
"What mere, worthless slave thanks Master?" "Adraste, the mere, worthless slave, thanks Master!" she whispered, tears bursting from her eyes, running down her cheeks. |
10 |
| 2 | 96 |
There were four girls ahead of me now, and some six behind me, including the head-lowered, bound-by-a-man's-will, green-eyed, dark-haired beauty, Adraste. |
10 |
| 2 | 109 |
"Keep your head down, Adraste," said the first man, sharply. |
10 |
| 2 | 120 |
I saw the slave, Adraste, look up, briefly, before hastily lowering her head again. |
10 |
| 2 | 189 |
"In that way, by contrast one accentuates the beauty of Adraste". |
10 |
| 2 | 195 |
I heard Adraste laugh behind me. |
10 |
| 3 | 522 |
"The next slave is Adraste," said the slaver's scribe, calling up from his position before and below the center of the block, "one of those brought in from the World's End". |
10 |

Adraste I lay down in the cage. |
10 |
| 4 | 9 |
Adraste, then, she supposedly brought in from the World's End, who had been the slave behind me in line, must have been sold. |
10 |
| 4 | 12 |
Shortly after the sounding of the gong, Adraste, bent over, in leading position, at the side of the slaver's man, her hair in his grasp, appeared. |
10 |
| 4 | 73 |
"What sort of name is Adraste?" I asked. |
10 |
| 4 | 87 |
"I have not heard the name 'Adraste' before," I said. |
10 |
| 4 | 98 |
Doubtless Adraste heard it, too. |
10 |
| 4 | 193 |
This was easier for me to see, than for Adraste, given the location of our cages. |
10 |
| 4 | 194 |
"Do not speak," whispered Adraste. |
10 |
| 4 | 198 |
The new girl was placed in the cage next to that of Adraste, to my right. |
10 |
| 4 | 230 |
I was surprised that Adraste had not spoken up, that she had not retorted in some way. |
10 |
| 4 | 238 |
Adraste was lying in her cage, curled up, facing away from us. |
10 |
| 4 | 245 |
"She-tarsk!" said Adraste, not turning about. |
10 |
| 4 | 247 |
"I would tear out your hair, and scratch out your eyes," hissed Adraste, not turning about. |
10 |
| 4 | 255 |
Adraste was silent. |
10 |
| 4 | 259 |
I certainly did not know where Venna was, or "Glorious Ar," but I had asked because the accents of Adraste and Fina had seemed strikingly similar. |
10 |
| 5 | 6 |
"Masters! Masters!" cried Adraste, from her cage, to the right of Fina's cage. |
10 |
| 5 | 8 |
I was startled, because Adraste had seemed, earlier, so cool, so self-assured, so superior and precise. |
10 |
| 5 | 11 |
Adraste knew more of this world than I, a barbarian imported for its markets. |
10 |
| 5 | 12 |
Then Fina, too, now kneeling, her cage to the left of that of Adraste, cried out, piteously, "Masters!" Similar cries emanated from other cages in the chamber as well. |
10 |
| 5 | 26 |
"Do not be foolish!" cried Adraste. |
10 |
| 5 | 32 |
"No," cried Adraste. |
10 |
| 5 | 119 |
Adraste was before Fina, and Fina was before me. |
10 |
| 5 | 150 |
I wondered how the proud, scornful, Adraste, brought in from the "World's End," enjoyed being herded along, in her place, on all fours. |
10 |
| 5 | 195 |
The fellow affixing the sheets then came to Adraste. |
10 |
| 5 | 218 |
I saw the sheet had been removed from Adraste, as well. |
10 |
| 5 | 220 |
The fellow then fastened my sheet on Adraste, picked up the sheet which had been on her, and fastened it on me. |
10 |
| 7 | 122 |
"Adraste!" cried the one-legged man. |
10 |
| 7 | 220 |
"Why would he not have bid upon this Luta, or Adraste, openly, at the auction?" "He seems concerned to conceal his identity," said he whom I took to be the leader of my abductors. |
10 |
| 7 | 255 |
"I think, Master," I said, "that I understand the mystery of Adraste, the motivation of Master Bruno, and why, apparently, such a large sum of money, surprisingly, was involved". |
10 |
| 7 | 257 |
"What is your conjecture?" "I know Adraste slightly," I said. |
10 |
| 9 | 58 |
Interestingly the slave, Adraste, the arrogant, pretentious piece of collar meat whom I remembered from Brundisium, was also in the tavern, though amongst the floor girls. |
10 |
| 9 | 60 |
That amused me, that the proud Adraste, with all her airs, would be put on the dancing floor. |
10 |
| 9 | 62 |
I did not know how Adraste had come to Port Kar. |
10 |
| 10 | 245 |
Adraste's accent, like that of many others, despite her name, which was Cosian, was that of Ar. |
10 |
| 11 | 304 |
I supposed that Adraste could read. |
10 |
| 11 | 309 |
The proud Adraste was now no more than I, only another slave. |
10 |
| 11 | 310 |
Then I put the haughty, pretentious Adraste from my mind. |
10 |
| 11 | 665 |
On the square of dancing sand, Adraste would dance, a keeper standing nearby, his whip ready to be used on her. |
10 |
| 12 | 84 |
I thought of Adraste and others, so arrogant, so superior, in their contempt of barbarians, who were themselves, as slaves, no better than the barbarians they scorned. |
10 |
| 13 | 74 |
"Are you familiar with a kajira named 'Adraste'?" the voice asked. |
10 |
| 13 | 94 |
"Tell me of Adraste," he said. |
10 |
| 13 | 133 |
"Adraste was sold after you," he said. |
10 |
| 13 | 149 |
"Surely Adraste, too, is his property". |
10 |
| 13 | 163 |
"For example, as you are doubtless aware, an attempt was made in Brundisium to steal Adraste". |
10 |
| 13 | 165 |
"A one-legged man was trying to recover a slave, Luta, who had, as it turned out, been sold under the name 'Adraste'. |
10 |
| 13 | 168 |
"And thus was the attempt to steal Adraste foiled," he said. |
10 |
| 13 | 173 |
"You must not even mention this to Adraste, lest she collapse in dismay, fearing her discovery". |
10 |
| 13 | 175 |
"The slave, Adraste," he said, "was originally a free woman of Ar, the Lady Julia Leta, of a minor banking family, the Claudian Marcelliani. |
10 |
| 13 | 220 |
"I would not wish such a thing, even on Adraste," I said. |
10 |
| 13 | 222 |
"I trust Adraste is now safe, here in Port Kar," I said. |
10 |
| 13 | 233 |
"Surely Adraste knows the name of her master," I said. |
10 |
| 13 | 251 |
"Adraste is a valuable slave," said the voice. |
10 |
| 13 | 281 |
They would be much more aware than I, if Adraste were threatened, or in any form of danger". |
10 |
| 13 | 290 |
Across the floor, some yards away, I saw Adraste, in the yellow tunic, fetching paga. |
10 |
| 14 | 2 |
"That is because you are a barbarian," said Adraste. |
10 |
| 14 | 31 |
"I do not," said Adraste. |
10 |
| 14 | 32 |
I still could not understand why my interlocutor in the alcove, when I had knelt before him, chained and hooded, had charged me as he had, with the task of being alert to possible anomalies or jeopardies which might pertain to Adraste. |
10 |
| 14 | 37 |
"Adraste," I said. |
10 |
| 14 | 38 |
"Do not bother me, slave," said Adraste. |
10 |
| 14 | 67 |
"Adraste," I said. |
10 |
| 14 | 70 |
I had hoped, of course, that I might find some way to relate to Adraste, in such a way as to better facilitate the charge that had been imposed on me. |
10 |
| 14 | 73 |
You do not know Adraste. |
10 |
| 14 | 74 |
Who, in fact, could actually like Adraste? A male might like to get his hands on her, to inform her in a thousand ways that she is in a collar, but who else? In such matters, given one's charge, one considers the means, the tools, at hand. |
10 |
| 14 | 76 |
Do not false friends betray most adeptly? Do they not make the best spies? Who is better situated to perpetrate treason than the false patriot? But my effort to relate to Adraste had been rebuffed. |
10 |
| 14 | 77 |
Again it seemed pointless to me that this task had been given to me, and not to a Gorean girl, one to whom Adraste would be less likely to object. |
10 |
| 14 | 78 |
It was difficult for me to express the intensity of my dislike for Adraste. |
10 |
| 14 | 85 |
Is the alternative not social anarchy, envy, jealousy, denial, uncertainty, confusion, competition, dishonesty, scrambling about, frustrated ambition, disappointment, fury, and chaos? "Adraste," I said. |
10 |
| 14 | 103 |
I had now had enough of the haughty Adraste. |
10 |
| 14 | 112 |
How might one do so? If I could not win the confidence of Adraste by a feigned friendship, to achieve some measure of proximity, to further my small mission of espionage, perhaps I might alarm her, or intimidate her, to the point that she might feel it wise to endure my company, my occasional nearne... |
10 |
| 14 | 115 |
"I am not interested," said Adraste. |
10 |
| 14 | 117 |
"A fugitive?" said Adraste, lightly. |
10 |
| 14 | 119 |
Instantly Adraste stiffened, staring at the wall before her. |
10 |
| 14 | 123 |
"I see now," said Adraste, "why you are beside me". |
10 |
| 14 | 130 |
Adraste began to tremble. |
10 |
| 14 | 139 |
"What do you want?" said Adraste, tensely. |
10 |
| 14 | 141 |
"You see the collar on my neck," said Adraste. |
10 |
| 14 | 150 |
"The Merchants?" said Adraste, puzzled. |
10 |
| 14 | 157 |
Adraste turned to face me. |
10 |
| 14 | 165 |
A sudden transformation of relief shook Adraste, and she gasped and threw back her head, covering her mouth, fighting to repress laughter. |
10 |
| 14 | 167 |
"Nothing, Master!" called Adraste, controlling her mirth. |
10 |
| 14 | 168 |
"I see nothing funny in this," I whispered to Adraste. |
10 |
| 14 | 169 |
Adraste was now again the mistress of her emotions. |
10 |
| 14 | 190 |
"I think the kitchen master is watching," said Adraste, handing me a plate. |
10 |
| 14 | 198 |
When I had confronted the proud Adraste, who had at the time seemed much agitated, with the announcement that she was the former Lady Julia Leta, she had not responded as I would have expected, perhaps collapsing in terror, shuddering in dismay, weeping uncontrollably, moaning in despair, hysterical... |
10 |
| 14 | 205 |
I supposed, given my interview in the alcove, there must have been a Lady Julia Leta, but I did not think Adraste was she. |
10 |
| 14 | 209 |
Adraste was not she. |
10 |
| 14 | 211 |
On the other hand, it was clear that an attempt, an understandable attempt, given Adraste's beauty, had been made in Brundisium to steal her. |
10 |
| 14 | 214 |
I would, however, if only to avoid being thrown to the urts in one canal or another, try to remain alert to any plots or potential plots, suspicious allusions, or such, which might involve Adraste. |
10 |
| 14 | 224 |
As we left the kitchen, Adraste and I did not look at one another. |
10 |
| 15 | 25 |
Interestingly, Adraste was not utilized in this way. |
10 |
| 18 | 75 |
"We were commissioned to obtain a slave, one once supposedly named 'Luta', now named 'Adraste'," he said. |
10 |
| 18 | 79 |
Our suborned contact in the house marked Adraste's sheet to facilitate her acquisition. |
10 |
| 18 | 80 |
Unfortunately for us, covering sheets were mixed, or deliberately changed, and we took you for Adraste". |
10 |
| 18 | 81 |
"You had never seen Adraste," I said. |
10 |
| 18 | 102 |
Clearly he did not know that the true identity of Adraste was that of the former Lady Julia Leta, former agent of the House of the Claudian Marcelliani, of Ar's Street of Coins, wanted for embezzlement. |
10 |
| 18 | 109 |
"Adraste was shipped with you?" he asked. |
10 |
| 18 | 123 |
"But now that I find you in Port Kar I conjecture that he, perhaps having little to guide him and being desperate, thought that you, because of the change of sheets, might somehow be associated with Adraste. |
10 |
| 18 | 127 |
Then, suspecting that there might be some connection or relationship between you and Adraste, and what else had he to go on, he pursued that possibility. |
10 |
| 18 | 128 |
Might you not somehow lead him to Adraste?" "I am frightened," I said. |
10 |
| 18 | 131 |
"What do you know of Adraste?" he asked. |
10 |
| 18 | 140 |
I think he had learned from some slave on the street that a slave named Adraste had served at the Golden Chain". |
10 |
| 18 | 142 |
"But she, Adraste, had served here?" he asked. |
10 |
| 18 | 145 |
Immediately upon my disclosures, Adraste, doubtless to her consternation and confusion, had been removed from the floor. |
10 |
| 18 | 162 |
He demanded that Adraste be brought before him. |
10 |
| 18 | 175 |
"It seems Adraste, whoever she might be," said the second man, "is in Port Kar". |
10 |
| 18 | 184 |
"What is the mystery of Adraste?" asked the second man. |
10 |
| 18 | 189 |
"Adraste," said the man with the scar. |
10 |
| 19 | 20 |
"He would choose Adraste," said Ianthe. |
10 |
| 19 | 22 |
"Adraste is gone," said Lana. |
10 |
| 22 | 50 |
"What do you know of a slave named 'Adraste'?" she asked. |
10 |
| 22 | 56 |
Certainly I did not wish to reveal the true identity of Adraste, that she was the former Lady Julia Leta, of Ar's Street of Coins, now wanted for peculation. |
10 |
| 22 | 59 |
She need not know that Adraste was actually owned by someone else, whom I did not know. |
10 |
| 22 | 67 |
"Where is Adraste now?" said the Lady Dorna. |
10 |
| 24 | 228 |
Why would the Lady Dorna, a free woman, want to have an innocent slave cast to tharlarion? Was she angry that I had not revealed secrets to her, that Adraste was the former Lady Julia Leta, scion of a minor banking family, the Claudian Marcelliani, their house on Ar's Street of Coins? And why was it... |
10 |
| 25 | 53 |
I did not, of course, know what his plans were, other than, I supposed, the attempted acquisition of Adraste, the beautiful former Lady Julia Leta, of Ar. |
10 |
| 25 | 54 |
"I seek the slave, Luta," he said, "now named 'Adraste', once the noble, esteemed Lady Felitia Thaliana, of Besnit, she whom I have long sought, she whom I have followed even from the World's End. |
10 |
| 25 | 62 |
Who was this supposed Lady Felitia Thaliana, of Besnit? Did she exist? What of the Lady Julia Leta, of Ar? I was sure she existed, both from my interview in the alcove, when I was hooded, and from Adraste herself. |
10 |
| 25 | 81 |
It was arranged, given the several Ahn of the dock fire, and its ferocity, and the imminent evacuation of the slaves from the house of Anesidemus, that a particular sheet, covertly marked, would identify Luta, now named 'Adraste', the former Lady Felitia Thaliana, of Besnit". |
10 |
| 25 | 84 |
"You were brought to me, rather than Adraste". |
10 |
| 25 | 87 |
Adraste, as we may call her, had slipped away. |
10 |
| 25 | 98 |
Perhaps you can conceive of my delight when I, having followed you, learned that the elusive Adraste served in the same tavern. |
10 |
| 25 | 102 |
Surely you wish the beautiful Adraste to be returned to the happiness and security of her loved ones in Besnit? Do not fear. |
10 |
| 25 | 103 |
I do not ask you to recognize Adraste for me. |
10 |
| 25 | 114 |
I, and doubtless he, conjectured you had some connection with Adraste. |
10 |
| 25 | 130 |
There might be many, I suspected, who might wish to apprehend the lovely Adraste, the former Lady Julia Leta of Ar. |
10 |
| 29 | 61 |
I did not care for the haughty Adraste, but I had no wish for her to be suspended naked in a dangling cage in Ar's Street of Coins, perhaps for years, as a testimonial to a sure and implacable justice and a warning to any who might otherwise be tempted to follow her embezzling example. |
10 |
| 32 | 89 |
"He realizes from the unusual affliction dealt to you that others, significant and informed others, other than Decius of Venna, who would presumably not have the resources to bring about such a result, seek the same goal as himself, obtaining the slave, Adraste. |
10 |
| 32 | 92 |
"Bruno of Torcadino," said Addison Steele, "from your earlier disappearance and silencing, realizes his immediate competition in the hunt for Adraste is likely to be both sophisticated and formidable, and he also realizes that you can recognize them. |
10 |
| 33 | 56 |
He would need some way to bring Adraste, or Luta, the former Lady Julia Leta, to some point on the continental coast, prior to carrying her overland to Ar. |
10 |
| 33 | 266 |
"Poor Adraste," I thought, "how content you might have remained in your humble, modest station, had you but known that your petty vanity and greed might lead to a dangling cage in a Street of Coins". |
10 |
| 34 | 13 |
I was confident that the secret of Adraste, that she was the former Lady Julia Leta, had been well kept. |
10 |
| 35 | 212 |
"Only three slaves in this house," he said, "are reserved to the Holding Master, those named 'Vella', 'Cecily', and 'Adraste', the latter named slave known to you". |
10 |
| 36 | 119 |
"And Adraste," I said. |
10 |
| 36 | 120 |
"As far as I know, he has never laid eyes on Adraste, nor so much as touched her," said Portia. |
10 |
| 36 | 123 |
I was not now as sure of the former identity of Adraste as I had been, some days earlier. |
10 |
| 36 | 126 |
Yesterday, when I was bringing Florian's list of, and inventory of, ka-la-nas of Market of Semris upstairs from one of the wine cellars to the office of Luma, a free woman, the only free woman in the holding as far as I knew, who was seemingly the accountant and business manager of the holding, I ha... |
10 |
| 36 | 129 |
How humiliated must have been the lofty Adraste, to find herself put to so miserable a servile task. |
10 |
| 36 | 141 |
"And Adraste?" I asked. |
10 |
| 36 | 143 |
"Adraste is confined to the holding". |
10 |
| 40 | 331 |
I also thought of Adraste, whom I had occasionally seen in the holding, put to one servile task or another. |
10 |
| 40 | 335 |
I was now reasonably sure that Adraste was not the former Lady Julia Leta of Ar, given my adventure in the delta as the slave of he who spoke of himself as Bruno of Torcadino. |
10 |
| 40 | 337 |
So I supposed that the identity of Adraste was other than that of the former Lady Julia Leta of Ar. |
10 |
| 40 | 343 |
When I had been chained and hooded in an alcove of the Golden Chain, he had informed me that Adraste was a peculating thief, the former Lady Julia Leta of Ar, sought by the justice of Ar, and had enlisted me in a project to spy upon her, and alert Ho-Tosk to any unusual or suspicious behaviors, inqu... |
10 |
| 41 | 50 |
The central concern of this attack, I was sure, was not a general harvesting of slaves, but the acquisition of one particular slave, Adraste. |
10 |
| 41 | 99 |
That would prevent Adraste from being hastened from the holding. |
10 |
| 41 | 165 |
I had not seen Adraste recently. |
10 |
| 41 | 169 |
Pa-Kur had not seemed interested in our coffle, save to examine it, to see if it might contain she whom he sought, doubtless Adraste. |
10 |
| 41 | 223 |
I recalled hearing that intruders were in the vicinity of the canal gate, presumably to guard against Adraste's being slipped from the holding to safety. |
10 |
| 42 | 21 |
Amongst the tunicked slaves kneeling against the wall of the inner vestibule, one stood out amongst them, one in a modest, white-silk tunic, dark-haired, green-eyed, olive-skinned Adraste! How beautiful she was! Surely men might kill to possess such a woman, even if there were not some mysterious em... |
10 |
| 42 | 27 |
"So," I thought to myself, "the intruders within the canal gate are no longer content to wait, watching the portal, lest Adraste be ushered through to safety in the city. |
10 |
| 42 | 54 |
Her name is Adraste". |
10 |
| 42 | 55 |
At this point, Adraste rose to her feet, but was gestured back to her knees by a defender. |
10 |
| 42 | 151 |
He was standing, head bowed, close to Adraste, who was now standing, though in the presence of a free man. |
10 |
| 42 | 160 |
"Are you truly my friend?" asked Adraste, or whomsoever she might be. |
10 |
| 42 | 262 |
How mixed were my feelings! I was elated, almost weeping, to learn that I was not to be summarily slain and, almost as much, filled with dismay that I might soon become a victim of the proud, vengeful former Adraste. |
10 |
| 42 | 264 |
And I had no doubt but what the former Adraste, with all her rancor and resentment at her former status, afflicted with the memories of her perceived degradation, would be a most demanding and formidable mistress. |
10 |
| 42 | 265 |
I particularly feared for vain, short-tempered Euphrosyne, for she was somewhat haughty and impatient for a slave, and had regarded even the former Adraste with small respect. |
10 |
| 42 | 267 |
Also, I was startled to hear that Talena, the former Adraste, was alleged to be of high birth on Cos. |
10 |
| 45 | 156 |
I heard Florian cry out, "Where is the slave, Adraste. |
10 |
| 46 | 69 |
They, interestingly, in the same way as hundreds of others, had naturally been taken as volunteers in the effort to recover a stolen slave named Adraste. |
10 |
| 46 | 71 |
It was generally accepted that the slave, Adraste, had been carried away. |
10 |
| 46 | 184 |
"What should we do for dancers? Adraste is gone. |
10 |
| 47 | 155 |
"I gather," I said, "that Adraste, the slave, was actually the former Talena, once the traitress Ubara of Ar, she who was sought by so many with so relentless a fervor". |
10 |
| 47 | 160 |
"There is some relationship between Captain Bosk and Adraste," I said. |
10 |
| 47 | 202 |
"She, Adraste, or Talena, might have been acquired by Pa-Kur, of the Assassins," I said, "had you, and others, not seized on the stratagem of disguising yourselves as cohorts amongst the intruders, by means of red scarves". |
10 |
| 47 | 281 |
"Do you think he knew the true identity of Adraste?" asked Addison Steele. |
10 |
| 47 | 292 |
"Your covering sheet," he said, "was replaced with that of Adraste," he said. |
10 |
| 47 | 294 |
"That was done to protect Adraste," he said. |
10 |
| 47 | 304 |
Florian arranged for the purchase of Adraste, and Miles was stationed in the house of Anesidemus itself, to protect her". |
10 |
| 47 | 356 |
"It was ostensibly his attempt to seize the slave, Adraste," said Addison Steele. |
10 |
| 47 | 380 |
"Then he would know nothing of the discovery of the identity of Adraste, the raid on his holding, her removal from the holding by Seremides, and her departure for Cos". |
10 |
| 47 | 382 |
"At least," I said, "Adraste, or Talena, will now be safe". |
