Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
25 133 My name is Adraste! I am Adraste, Adraste!" "If it pleases Master?" "Yes, of course," she said, "if it pleases Master".

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.
Details
10
25 4 The name given to the slave was Adraste.
Details
10
25 5 "It was you, in Ar, who threw me the rag of a slave!" hissed Adraste.
Details
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.
Details
10
25 99 "It was you, in Ar, who threw me the rag of a slave!" hissed Adraste.
Details
10
25 101 "I was naked, save for it!" said Adraste.
Details
10
25 102 "I would not have given you so much," said Alcinoë, "despicable traitress!" "I am Ubara!" said Adraste.
Details
10
25 104 "I am Ubara!" wept Adraste.
Details
10
25 106 Adraste clutched the collar on her neck, and shook it, as though it might be removed.
Details
10
25 108 "You, too, you slut," said Adraste, "are collared.
Details
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.
Details
10
25 113 "Slave, slave!" cried Adraste.
Details
10
25 114 * * * * I had earlier sought out Adraste's kennel, and stood before it.
Details
10
25 116 Adraste, within, kneeling, in the rather generous tunic, given to the slaves by the Pani, looked out, through the bars.
Details
10
25 137 "Master?" "You are the slave, Adraste".
Details
10
25 200 "As long as I am only Adraste," she said, "we are both more safe".
Details
10
25 344 "Who," she said, "who?" I then turned away, leaving the slave, Adraste, in the kennel.
Details
10
25 346 "Slave, slave!" had cried Adraste.
Details
10
25 349 "I do not know," said Adraste.
Details
10
25 353 "Do not pretend fidelity to the Home Stone," said Adraste.
Details
10
25 360 "You look well in a collar," said Adraste.
Details
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.
Details
10
25 363 "I was purchased, honestly and openly, in Brundisium, by Pani!" "As a common slave," sneered Adraste.
Details
10
25 372 "I would have sold for a thousand pieces of gold!" said Adraste.
Details
10
25 382 "I am the most beautiful woman on Gor!" said Adraste.
Details
10
25 389 "See!" said Adraste.
Details
10
25 391 "Surely not," said Adraste.
Details
10
25 405 "I thought you were my friend, my closest friend," said Adraste.
Details
10
25 407 "No!" said Adraste.
Details
10
25 409 "You are vain, and pretentious, deceitful, treacherous!" "You used me!" said Adraste.
Details
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.
Details
10
25 412 "How well it looked on you!" "She-tharlarion, she-urt!" cried Adraste.
Details
10
25 414 "And for you!" cried Adraste.
Details
10
25 428 "You well know, Master," said Adraste, "how to teach a woman her collar".
Details
10
28 70 "Adraste," she said, "if it pleases master".
Details
10
28 71 "You are very beautiful, Adraste," he said.
Details
10
28 78 I thought I saw the trace of a smile on the lips of Adraste.
Details
10
28 105 "Nor I," said Adraste.
Details
10
28 107 "Doubtless it amuses the Master," said Adraste, "that I, who was Ubara, should serve men, as a serving slave".
Details
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...
Details
10
28 110 "But that we should serve, at all," said Adraste.
Details
10
28 113 "Very amusing," said Adraste.
Details
10
28 114 "And I will tell you, pretty Adraste, how you will serve them," I said.
Details
10
28 122 Frightened, Adraste drew her tunic off, over her head.
Details
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".
Details
10
28 124 "Master," moaned Adraste.
Details
10
28 136 "Slave!" said Adraste to her.
Details
10
28 139 How beautiful are women, so! "I hate you, Master," said Adraste.
Details
10
28 141 "I was Ubara!" said Adraste.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
28 167 Soon Adraste would return, with another plate, and the whip would be passed to the next fellow.
Details
10
28 256 "And perhaps you, Adraste," I said, "would be pleased, in your collar, to serve naked, at another's feast".
Details
10
28 267 "Yes, Master," said Adraste.

61 1164 "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".
Details
10
61 687 "I am called 'Adraste'," she said.
Details
10
61 844 You are Adraste, a slave at the World's End".
Details
10
61 878 "You are Adraste," I said, "a slave".
Details
10
61 879 "Then for Adraste," she said, "a slave!" "What fool could love a slave?" I asked.
Details
10
61 1079 The dark eyes of the slave, Adraste, flashed with fury.
Details
10
61 1168 "Do not leave Adraste here!" she wept.

31 110 "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".
Details
10
31 115 "Stand upright, Adraste," said the auctioneer.
Details
10
31 121 "What manner of name is 'Adraste', Master?" I asked.

Book 35. (188 results) Quarry of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
25 95 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 ...
Details
10
2 188 "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.
Details
10
13 167 Sheets were exchanged, mine with Adraste's, in such a way that abductors thought me Adraste".
Details
10
13 263 "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.
Details
10
14 1 Adraste and I Exchange Pleasantries "I see no reason, Adraste," I said, "why we cannot be friends".
Details
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...
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
2 69 "To the ramp, Adraste," I heard, from behind me.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
2 109 "Keep your head down, Adraste," said the first man, sharply.
Details
10
2 120 I saw the slave, Adraste, look up, briefly, before hastily lowering her head again.
Details
10
2 189 "In that way, by contrast one accentuates the beauty of Adraste".
Details
10
2 195 I heard Adraste laugh behind me.
Details
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".
Details
10
4 1 Adraste I lay down in the cage.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
4 73 "What sort of name is Adraste?" I asked.
Details
10
4 87 "I have not heard the name 'Adraste' before," I said.
Details
10
4 98 Doubtless Adraste heard it, too.
Details
10
4 193 This was easier for me to see, than for Adraste, given the location of our cages.
Details
10
4 194 "Do not speak," whispered Adraste.
Details
10
4 198 The new girl was placed in the cage next to that of Adraste, to my right.
Details
10
4 230 I was surprised that Adraste had not spoken up, that she had not retorted in some way.
Details
10
4 238 Adraste was lying in her cage, curled up, facing away from us.
Details
10
4 245 "She-tarsk!" said Adraste, not turning about.
Details
10
4 247 "I would tear out your hair, and scratch out your eyes," hissed Adraste, not turning about.
Details
10
4 255 Adraste was silent.
Details
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.
Details
10
5 6 "Masters! Masters!" cried Adraste, from her cage, to the right of Fina's cage.
Details
10
5 8 I was startled, because Adraste had seemed, earlier, so cool, so self-assured, so superior and precise.
Details
10
5 11 Adraste knew more of this world than I, a barbarian imported for its markets.
Details
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.
Details
10
5 26 "Do not be foolish!" cried Adraste.
Details
10
5 32 "No," cried Adraste.
Details
10
5 119 Adraste was before Fina, and Fina was before me.
Details
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.
Details
10
5 195 The fellow affixing the sheets then came to Adraste.
Details
10
5 218 I saw the sheet had been removed from Adraste, as well.
Details
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.
Details
10
7 122 "Adraste!" cried the one-legged man.
Details
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.
Details
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".
Details
10
7 257 "What is your conjecture?" "I know Adraste slightly," I said.
Details
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.
Details
10
9 60 That amused me, that the proud Adraste, with all her airs, would be put on the dancing floor.
Details
10
9 62 I did not know how Adraste had come to Port Kar.
Details
10
10 245 Adraste's accent, like that of many others, despite her name, which was Cosian, was that of Ar.
Details
10
11 304 I supposed that Adraste could read.
Details
10
11 309 The proud Adraste was now no more than I, only another slave.
Details
10
11 310 Then I put the haughty, pretentious Adraste from my mind.
Details
10
11 665 On the square of dancing sand, Adraste would dance, a keeper standing nearby, his whip ready to be used on her.
Details
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.
Details
10
13 74 "Are you familiar with a kajira named 'Adraste'?" the voice asked.
Details
10
13 94 "Tell me of Adraste," he said.
Details
10
13 133 "Adraste was sold after you," he said.
Details
10
13 149 "Surely Adraste, too, is his property".
Details
10
13 163 "For example, as you are doubtless aware, an attempt was made in Brundisium to steal Adraste".
Details
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'.
Details
10
13 168 "And thus was the attempt to steal Adraste foiled," he said.
Details
10
13 173 "You must not even mention this to Adraste, lest she collapse in dismay, fearing her discovery".
Details
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.
Details
10
13 220 "I would not wish such a thing, even on Adraste," I said.
Details
10
13 222 "I trust Adraste is now safe, here in Port Kar," I said.
Details
10
13 233 "Surely Adraste knows the name of her master," I said.
Details
10
13 251 "Adraste is a valuable slave," said the voice.
Details
10
13 281 They would be much more aware than I, if Adraste were threatened, or in any form of danger".
Details
10
13 290 Across the floor, some yards away, I saw Adraste, in the yellow tunic, fetching paga.
Details
10
14 2 "That is because you are a barbarian," said Adraste.
Details
10
14 31 "I do not," said Adraste.
Details
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.
Details
10
14 37 "Adraste," I said.
Details
10
14 38 "Do not bother me, slave," said Adraste.
Details
10
14 67 "Adraste," I said.
Details
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.
Details
10
14 73 You do not know Adraste.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
14 78 It was difficult for me to express the intensity of my dislike for Adraste.
Details
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.
Details
10
14 103 I had now had enough of the haughty Adraste.
Details
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...
Details
10
14 115 "I am not interested," said Adraste.
Details
10
14 117 "A fugitive?" said Adraste, lightly.
Details
10
14 119 Instantly Adraste stiffened, staring at the wall before her.
Details
10
14 123 "I see now," said Adraste, "why you are beside me".
Details
10
14 130 Adraste began to tremble.
Details
10
14 139 "What do you want?" said Adraste, tensely.
Details
10
14 141 "You see the collar on my neck," said Adraste.
Details
10
14 150 "The Merchants?" said Adraste, puzzled.
Details
10
14 157 Adraste turned to face me.
Details
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.
Details
10
14 167 "Nothing, Master!" called Adraste, controlling her mirth.
Details
10
14 168 "I see nothing funny in this," I whispered to Adraste.
Details
10
14 169 Adraste was now again the mistress of her emotions.
Details
10
14 190 "I think the kitchen master is watching," said Adraste, handing me a plate.
Details
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...
Details
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.
Details
10
14 209 Adraste was not she.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
14 224 As we left the kitchen, Adraste and I did not look at one another.
Details
10
15 25 Interestingly, Adraste was not utilized in this way.
Details
10
18 75 "We were commissioned to obtain a slave, one once supposedly named 'Luta', now named 'Adraste'," he said.
Details
10
18 79 Our suborned contact in the house marked Adraste's sheet to facilitate her acquisition.
Details
10
18 80 Unfortunately for us, covering sheets were mixed, or deliberately changed, and we took you for Adraste".
Details
10
18 81 "You had never seen Adraste," I said.
Details
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.
Details
10
18 109 "Adraste was shipped with you?" he asked.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
18 128 Might you not somehow lead him to Adraste?" "I am frightened," I said.
Details
10
18 131 "What do you know of Adraste?" he asked.
Details
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".
Details
10
18 142 "But she, Adraste, had served here?" he asked.
Details
10
18 145 Immediately upon my disclosures, Adraste, doubtless to her consternation and confusion, had been removed from the floor.
Details
10
18 162 He demanded that Adraste be brought before him.
Details
10
18 175 "It seems Adraste, whoever she might be," said the second man, "is in Port Kar".
Details
10
18 184 "What is the mystery of Adraste?" asked the second man.
Details
10
18 189 "Adraste," said the man with the scar.
Details
10
19 20 "He would choose Adraste," said Ianthe.
Details
10
19 22 "Adraste is gone," said Lana.
Details
10
22 50 "What do you know of a slave named 'Adraste'?" she asked.
Details
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.
Details
10
22 59 She need not know that Adraste was actually owned by someone else, whom I did not know.
Details
10
22 67 "Where is Adraste now?" said the Lady Dorna.
Details
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...
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
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".
Details
10
25 84 "You were brought to me, rather than Adraste".
Details
10
25 87 Adraste, as we may call her, had slipped away.
Details
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.

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.
Details
10
25 114 I, and doubtless he, conjectured you had some connection with Adraste.
Details
10
25 130 There might be many, I suspected, who might wish to apprehend the lovely Adraste, the former Lady Julia Leta of Ar.
Details

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.

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.

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.
Details
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.
Details
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".
Details
10
34 13 I was confident that the secret of Adraste, that she was the former Lady Julia Leta, had been well kept.

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".
Details
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.
Details
10
36 123 I was not now as sure of the former identity of Adraste as I had been, some days earlier.

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...

36 129 How humiliated must have been the lofty Adraste, to find herself put to so miserable a servile task.
Details
10
36 141 "And Adraste?" I asked.
Details
10
36 143 "Adraste is confined to the holding".
Details
10
40 331 I also thought of Adraste, whom I had occasionally seen in the holding, put to one servile task or another.
Details
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.
Details
10
40 337 So I supposed that the identity of Adraste was other than that of the former Lady Julia Leta of Ar.
Details
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...

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.
Details
10
41 99 That would prevent Adraste from being hastened from the holding.
Details
10
41 165 I had not seen Adraste recently.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
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...
Details
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".
Details
10
42 55 At this point, Adraste rose to her feet, but was gestured back to her knees by a defender.
Details
10
42 151 He was standing, head bowed, close to Adraste, who was now standing, though in the presence of a free man.
Details
10
42 160 "Are you truly my friend?" asked Adraste, or whomsoever she might be.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
42 267 Also, I was startled to hear that Talena, the former Adraste, was alleged to be of high birth on Cos.
Details
10
45 156 I heard Florian cry out, "Where is the slave, Adraste.
Details
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.
Details
10
46 71 It was generally accepted that the slave, Adraste, had been carried away.
Details
10
46 184 "What should we do for dancers? Adraste is gone.
Details
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".
Details
10
47 160 "There is some relationship between Captain Bosk and Adraste," I said.
Details
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".
Details
10
47 281 "Do you think he knew the true identity of Adraste?" asked Addison Steele.
Details
10
47 292 "Your covering sheet," he said, "was replaced with that of Adraste," he said.
Details
10
47 294 "That was done to protect Adraste," he said.
Details
10
47 304 Florian arranged for the purchase of Adraste, and Miles was stationed in the house of Anesidemus itself, to protect her".
Details
10
47 356 "It was ostensibly his attempt to seize the slave, Adraste," said Addison Steele.
Details
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".
Details
10
47 382 "At least," I said, "Adraste, or Talena, will now be safe".
