25	68	"We must arrange that Aemilianus, Captain of the forces of Ar's Station in Victoria, also attend this meeting tonight," said Callimachus.	10
25	87	"Aemilianus will never confer with us should he learn that Callisthenes is to be party to our proceedings, nor will Callisthenes permit himself to attend a meeting at which he knows that one of Ar's Station is to be present".	10
25	92	"If either Aemilianus or Callisthenes should be felled in my tavern, I think the incident would be unlikely to escape the attention of their allied guardsmen".	10
25	98	The matter, however, will be otherwise with Aemilianus.	10
25	152	"What do you know of Aemilianus of Ar's Station?" I asked Callimachus and Tasdron.	10
25	155	We know little of men such as Aemilianus.	10
25	162	"How can we contact this Aemilianus, and bring him to this meeting, without attracting the attention of the spies of Policrates?" "We have no choice, I think," said Tasdron, "but to contact him directly and take what risks are unavoidable".	10
28	10	"I sought out Aemilianus, Captain of the Guardsmen of Ar's Station," she said.	10
28	16	"I did not even find Aemilianus," she said, "until near the twentieth Ahn".	10
28	24	"Aemilianus himself used me," she said.	10
28	34	"Did you yield to them," asked Tasdron, "to Aemilianus, and the others?" "Please do not make me speak, Master," she begged.	10
28	56	What to him were the helpless confessions of a lovely, meaningless slave? "Aemilianus is not here," I said.	10
28	59	"At least Aemilianus knows how to handle a woman," said Tasdron.	10
28	63	He picked up the tiny bit of slave silk which we had, earlier, ordered her to remove, before disguising her as a Coin Girl and sending her into the streets to fetch Aemilianus to our meeting.	10
28	187	It would certainly be in her best interest for Aemilianus, Captain in Ar's Station, to have accepted her invitation to our meeting.	10
28	272	"I am Aemilianus, Captain in Ar's Station," said the newcomer.	10
28	279	"Glorious Ar!" cried Aemilianus.	10
28	284	"You are strong," said Aemilianus to Callimachus.	10
28	286	"If you would strike someone, Aemilianus, Captain of Ar's Station, strike me," he said.	10
28	290	"Is this not a trap?" asked Aemilianus.	10
28	293	"She lured me here," said Aemilianus, gesturing toward Peggy with the Gorean blade.	10
28	297	"Of what city are you?" Aemilianus asked Glyco.	10
28	299	"And you?" asked Aemilianus of Callimachus.	10
28	302	Aemilianus backed up a step.	10
28	313	"I am prepared to sell my life dearly," said Aemilianus.	10
28	315	"You played your part well, Slave," sneered Aemilianus to Peggy.	10
28	318	"We mean you no harm," I said to Aemilianus.	10
28	326	Peggy rose to her feet and went, head down, to kneel before the startled Aemilianus.	10
28	334	Aemilianus, puzzled, lowered the point of his sword.	10
28	337	"This is not a trap?" asked Aemilianus.	10
28	344	A moment later the sword of Aemilianus, too, rested in its sheath.	10
28	352	"Do you wish her, instead, to remove her silk, and to lick and kiss you, and serve you, as we eat and talk," inquired Tasdron of Aemilianus.	10
28	357	"We are not to be all so served, I gather," said Aemilianus.	10
28	365	"How much does she know?" asked Aemilianus.	10
28	367	"Keep her ignorant," said Aemilianus.	10
28	375	"Very well," said Aemilianus.	10
29	16	Interestingly enough, it had been the warriors, Callisthenes and Aemilianus, who had tended to regard the plan as dangerous and barren.	10
29	46	"We of Ar's Station would not have mounted such a chain," said Aemilianus, unnecessarily in my opinion.	10
29	51	"Neither Ar nor Ar's Station, Captain," said Aemilianus, "are at war with Port Cos".	10
29	80	"Discuss your plan with Aemilianus," suggested Callisthenes.	10
29	83	"I do not wish to risk several ships and hundreds of men in such an unusual venture," said Aemilianus.	10
29	85	"Perhaps you, too, have been fooled," said Aemilianus.	10
29	87	Aemilianus looked at me.	10
29	92	Aemilianus spread his hands.	10
29	95	"Why should you undertake such risks?" Aemilianus asked me.	10
29	103	"We are not interested," said Aemilianus.	10
29	107	"I am sorry," said Aemilianus.	10
29	125	"If there is to be an attack at the chain," said Aemilianus, "I am willing to lend you ships from Ar's Station, to strengthen your defenses".	10
29	128	"There is no drop of water in this river," said Aemilianus, quietly, "which we of Ar's Station may not put beneath the keels of our fleet".	10
29	173	I will give you twenty men, if so many will volunteer, and if Aemilianus, of Ar's Station, will similarly supply another twenty.	10
29	176	I have some two hundred men in Victoria and Aemilianus, as my intelligence sources indicate, a comparable number".	10
29	203	I looked to Aemilianus.	10
29	204	"If Port Cos can give you twenty men for such a venture," said Aemilianus, "Ar's Station, surely, could supply no smaller a number".	10
33	61	"Perhaps you were betrayed by one of the men of Callisthenes or of Aemilianus," said Callimachus.	10

6	47	In moments we had drawn alongside of the Olivia, which had been the flagship of the fleet from Ar's Station, commanded by Aemilianus.	10
8	549	Perhaps I could give her to Aemilianus.	10
9	116	Using this as a diversion the Tina and the Tais, with Aemilianus, and the crew and men of the Olivia, with captured pennons from prize ships taken earlier from the Voskjard, had permitted other ships, like sharks, to pass them, following the light of the Olivia, taking that light for the locale of b...	10
9	291	I could hear Aemilianus giving orders.	10
10	37	The Tuka, under the command of Aemilianus, lay to now, before the great sea gate of iron bars.	10
10	163	Aemilianus and his men must move to the door.	10
10	171	Aemilianus, followed by men, moved swiftly, past startled pirates, toward the iron door.	10
10	184	We saw Aemilianus, followed by a file of men, thrust through the iron door.	10
10	216	From the wall, looking down and across the sea yard, Callimachus and I saw Aemilianus emerging from the holding.	10
20	23	Seven men, including myself, were present, Glyco, high merchant of Port Cos; Tasdron, Administrator of Victoria; Aemilianus, leader of the naval forces of Ar upon the Vosk; Calliodorus, captain of the Tais; and my friends, Callimachus and Miles of Vonda, who had brought with him his slave, Florence.	10
20	35	She, kneeling, poured wine from a narrow, long-spouted silver vessel into the cup of Aemilianus, of Ar's Station.	10
20	104	"I propose a toast," said Aemilianus, rising.	10
20	114	"To the Vosk League!" said Aemilianus, commander of the naval forces of Ar's Station.	10
20	118	"To Ar's Station!" said Callimachus, lifting his goblet to Aemilianus.	10
20	120	"I am grateful to you all, for your generosity," said Aemilianus.	10
20	124	Though this was a great disappointment to Aemilianus, and to others of Ar's Station, who had fought with us, it came generally as no surprise on the river.	10
20	140	"Aemilianus!" I said, huskily, that I might drive this emotion from me.	10
20	146	Swiftly Shirley, startled, putting down the wine, knelt before Aemilianus.	10
20	148	"That is known to me," said Aemilianus.	10
20	150	"Yes!" said Aemilianus.	10
20	152	Swiftly the slave put down her head and began to kiss the feet of Aemilianus.	10
20	154	"My thanks!" said Aemilianus.	10
20	174	"Where are you supposed to be now, Girl?" asked Aemilianus.	10
20	206	"Was it your intention, earlier, to give Shirley to Aemilianus?" asked Callimachus.	10
20	211	He had detected that I, embarrassed by the tears which had formed in my eyes following our toast to Victoria, had sought to divert attention from this putative weakness by making that the moment in which I would give a gift to my friend, Aemilianus.	10
20	224	Two girls emerged from the kitchen, the girl in bluish gauze, whom I had not yet named, and the girl in yellow gauze, whom I had called Shirley, who was now owned by Aemilianus.	10
20	245	Diagonally across the table and to my right the new voluptuous slave of Aemilianus knelt tremblingly before him, serving him.	10
20	356	"Victoria was centrally involved in the resistance to the pirates," said Aemilianus.	10
20	358	"And in this fashion," grinned Aemilianus, "the headquarters of the league is not in Port Cos".	10
20	362	The voluptuous slave of Aemilianus, whom he had not yet named, placed the tiny silver cups, on small stands, before us.	10
20	364	She poured into the cups only the amount that would be compatible with the assorted sugars and creams which the guest might desire, if any, these being added in, and stirred, if, and as, pertinent, by Aemilianus' slave, who directed the serving.	10
20	374	"Master?" asked the girl in yellow gauze, who had been Shirley and now belonged, for the moment nameless, to my friend Aemilianus, of Ar's Station.	10
20	376	"Second slave," said the slave of Aemilianus.	10
20	415	"Yes," agreed Aemilianus.	10
20	442	I watched Aemilianus' slave emerging from the kitchen.	10
20	456	The blond slave of Aemilianus then re-entered the room.	10
20	681	She who had been Shirley, too, now the slave of Aemilianus, applauded.	10
20	687	The voluptuous slave of Aemilianus was now attending again to the lamps, this time restoring the room to its original illumination.	10
20	714	"Yes, Master," she said, and then, rising up, turned and hurried to the kitchen, there to render aid to Lola and the slave of Aemilianus.	10
20	720	"The liqueurs!" First from the kitchen, bearing her tray, came the voluptuous slave of Aemilianus.	10
20	730	The voluptuous slave of Aemilianus swiftly knelt, making herself as small as possible, putting her head to the floor.	10
20	834	It was identical to the one I had earlier given to Aemilianus.	10
20	974	I glanced about, to the small, dark-haired slave clutching my arm, to Lola, in the arms of Calliodorus, to Florence, kneeling behind Miles of Vonda, to she who had been Shirley, in her yellow gauze, kneeling to one side, now the slave of Aemilianus.	10
20	1076	Off with the garment," said Aemilianus to the voluptuous slave, who had been Shirley, whipping out the binding strap I had given him earlier.	10
20	1086	"You are Shirley," said Aemilianus to the slave.	10
20	1091	She then realized just how perfect and complete would be the slavery to which she would be subjected in the house of Aemilianus.	10
20	1149	I threw Aemilianus the key to the collar of Shirley, and he removed it from her.	10
20	1183	"The topaz!" said Aemilianus.	10
20	1195	"What of the topaz?" asked Aemilianus.	10
20	1200	I brought it here that I might give one half to you, Aemilianus, and one half to you, Calliodorus.	10
20	1202	Tasdron then gave half of the topaz to Aemilianus and the other half to Calliodorus.	10
20	1203	"My thanks," said Aemilianus.	10
20	1205	Then Aemilianus looked at Calliodorus.	10
20	1213	Aemilianus next left, heeled by Shirley.	10

25	72	"Aemilianus, the nephew of Mintar, is in the mill".	10
26	11	I knelt behind the young Aemilianus.	10
26	16	The courtesy of Aemilianus, a habit with him, probably a function of the gentleness of his upbringing, in no way affected the totality of the bondage in which his girls were kept.	10
26	31	We wore the collar of Aemilianus.	10
26	63	We addressed Teela as "Mistress" for she was, in the house of Aemilianus, first girl.	10
26	135	"I, too, choose the service of men," she said, "especially that of Aemilianus!" "You, too, then, are a slave and a slut," said Teela.	10
26	145	I found myself wishing that Aemilianus had found me as fetching as he apparently had Emily.	10
26	167	Emily, in the same room with Aemilianus, was still struggling with her modesty.	10
26	204	I noted that Emily oriented herself toward Aemilianus, and spread her knees widely.	10
26	252	"Is not Aemilianus handsome?" she whispered.	10
26	283	She could not keep her eyes off Aemilianus.	10
26	339	"Emily! Tiffany!" called Aemilianus, sitting behind the long, low table, with his friends.	10
26	342	"Yes," said Aemilianus, "but now, as you can see, they are not in the company uniform".	10
26	344	"They cost me only twelve copper tarsks each," said Aemilianus.	10
26	345	"But that is scarcely fair, Aemilianus," said a man.	10
26	348	"Something more, doubtless," said Aemilianus.	10
26	350	"I see that I shall have to make more inspections of uncle's mills," said another young man, one whom, I gathered, must be a cousin of Aemilianus.	10
26	351	"It is not that rare, actually," said Aemilianus.	10
26	355	"Pausanias, who is the mill master in Mill 7," said Aemilianus, "has informed me that, in his opinion, there are many lovely girls even in Mill 7".	10
26	357	"Are these two," asked a man, "from Mill 7?" "Yes," said Aemilianus.	10
26	364	"I shall show you one advantage of the mills," said Aemilianus.	10
26	368	"The motivation of mill girls, as you can see," said Aemilianus, "is high.	10
26	371	"Yes," said Aemilianus, "and he has given me license to proceed".	10
26	373	"No," said Aemilianus.	10
26	374	"It would become one of the enterprises of Aemilianus".	10
26	376	"My uncle, of course, will extend the initial loans at nominal rates," said Aemilianus.	10
26	380	"It is a question," said Aemilianus, "of providing a quality service at competitive prices".	10
26	382	"Emily, would you please come around the table and kneel here, beside me?" asked Aemilianus.	10
26	385	"Would you please stand up and remove your silk, Tiffany?" said Aemilianus.	10
26	389	"Yes," said Aemilianus.	10
26	392	"You are very pretty, Tiffany," said Aemilianus.	10
26	399	"We may then say, may we not," asked Aemilianus, "that for most practical purposes you are untrained".	10
26	412	"I am going to signal to the musicians, Tiffany," said Aemilianus.	10
26	418	Almost as soon as I had begun to dance I saw Emily tear back her slave silk, exposing her breasts to Aemilianus, and try to kiss him.	10
26	429	"Very good, Tiffany," said Aemilianus.	10
26	436	A silver tarsk! I wished Drusus Rencius had heard that! He had thought I would only bring fifteen or twenty copper tarsks! And I was not even trained! "You did very well, Tiffany," said Aemilianus.	10
26	438	"Did you see, Gentlemen," asked Aemilianus, "and she only an untrained mill girl".	10
26	439	"Yes, Aemilianus," said a man.	10
26	442	"Teela," said Aemilianus.	10
26	462	"You may kneel, Tiffany," said Aemilianus, kindly.	10
26	465	"Properly, of course," said Aemilianus.	10
26	468	Aemilianus cast me a gently reproving look.	10
26	474	"As you can see," said Aemilianus, "she has much to learn".	10
26	477	"Tiffany," said Aemilianus.	10
26	481	"You are going to be sent to school, Tiffany," said Aemilianus.	10
26	489	"Gentlemen," said Aemilianus, "and kind sirs, I thank you for your presence here this evening, and for your kind attention.	10
26	499	"She will be sent to your room," said Aemilianus.	10
26	500	"My thanks, Aemilianus," he said.	10
26	501	"It is nothing," said Aemilianus.	10
26	507	"With your permission," said Aemilianus, "I would rather she did not serve tonight.	10
26	510	"As you wish, Aemilianus," said a man.	10
28	103	"I must have displeased Aemilianus.	10
29	17	It had now become necessary for the slave masters of Aemilianus to insert open dates in our schedule, that we might remain fresh and rested.	10
29	20	Aemilianus, with that sense of business which seemed to run in his family, had been sensitive to this.	10
29	21	Thanks to Aemilianus the luxury of the high feast could now be enjoyed more widely in Ar than heretofore.	10
29	24	I, like most of the other girls, was, on the whole, very pleased to be owned by Aemilianus and to be held in this form of slavery.	10
29	304	Perhaps even little Susan would not recognize the lofty Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus, in the collared, branded, trained, lascivious pleasure slut, Tiffany, a girl of Feast Slaves, of the Enterprises of Aemilianus, the Plaza of Tarns.	10
30	14	In his good taste, Aemilianus did not require us to wear advertising on our backs.	10
30	189	"Tiffany," I said, "of Feast Slaves, of the Enterprises of Aemilianus, the Plaza of Tarns".	10
30	701	I was Tiffany, of Feast Slaves, of the Enterprises of Aemilianus, the Plaza of Tarns.	10
31	10	"You are now known as Tiffany, I believe," he said, "of Feast Slaves, of the Enterprises of Aemilianus".	10
31	11	"I am Tiffany," I said, "of Feast Slaves, of the Enterprises of Aemilianus".	10
31	132	"You startled me! I am not Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus! I am Tiffany, only a slave, Tiffany, only of Feast Slaves, of the Enterprises of Aemilianus!" "Of course," he smiled.	10
31	142	Did he truly think that an agonizing death, writhing on a high, narrow impaling spear, some twenty feet in height, unable to free myself, in a public square, or on the walls of Argentum, in public view, to the jeers and cries of a vengeful crowd was not to be feared? "I am Tiffany," I said, weakly, ...	10
31	150	I did know, for example, that in the house of Aemilianus I had been finger printed, and toe printed.	10
31	169	"Master?" "Would it not be clever," he said, "to plant a false trail to a decoy, and meanwhile conceal the true Tatrix elsewhere, under a different identity, one unlikely to arouse suspicion, one almost inconceivably inappropriate, to conceal her even, perhaps, as a slave?" "I am Tiffany," I said, "...	10
31	181	"But I am Tiffany," I said, frightened, "of Feast Slaves, of the Enterprises of Aemilianus!" "But we are going to pretend, aren't we?" he asked.	10
31	191	"Tiffany, of Feast Slaves, of the Enterprises of Aemilianus!" "But we are playing, aren't we?" he asked.	10
31	286	I then felt the high, thick collar put about my neck, over the collar of Aemilianus.	10
31	568	He could not even harm me, at least seriously, or permanently, without paying some form of restitution to the Enterprises of Aemilianus.	10
31	627	In it I would be as well marked, and as helplessly confined, as I had been by the collar of Aemilianus.	10
31	640	"I had your collar size from the Enterprises of Aemilianus".	10
32	301	I recalled that Emily had confided once to me that she wanted Aemilianus to whip her—because she loved him.	10
33	8	Interestingly enough, Aemilianus of Ar, who had once been my master, was there, and Publius, who had been the house master in the house of Kliomenes, in Corcyrus.	10
36	31	She was leaving early with her master, Aemilianus, for Ar.	10

2	116	Then at last I had been given a sealed letter for the commander at Ar's Station, whose name was Aemilianus.	10
2	122	It seemed to me that my chances of successfully delivering my message to Aemilianus, whatever might be its contents, might be improved if it were borne not by a tarnsman but by one afoot, one who might, say, among mercenaries, or civilians, mix inconspicuously.	10
5	496	I wondered how I might approach Ar's Station and deliver the message of Gnieus Lelius, the regent of Ar, to the commander at Ar's Station, Aemilianus.	10
10	295	I have come here at great risk! I have a message for Aemilianus from Gnieus Lelius, Regent in Ar! Admit me!" There was silence from the height of the wall.	10
10	341	"I bear a message for Aemilianus! Admit me!" I saw part of a crossbow at one of the other crenels.	10
10	359	Take me to Aemilianus!" "You have been seen," said another fellow, the voice drifting down to me.	10
10	378	Summon Aemilianus, if no other can admit me!" "Your friends are in the trench," called a fellow.	10
10	425	"Take me to Aemilianus! The message in my pouch is for him.	10
10	429	"Take me to Aemilianus," I said.	10
10	467	"Take me to Aemilianus," I said.	10
10	470	"You understand that if you go now to Aemilianus," he said, "that you forfeit the protection of the flag you bore".	10
10	472	"Take him to Aemilianus," he said.	10
10	476	"It is to Aemilianus as a caught spy that you will go".	10
11	1	Aemilianus "There," said a voice.	10
11	37	"Are you Aemilianus," I asked, "commander in Ar's Station?" "I am," he said, looking at me.	10
11	137	"And how does he think of himself?" asked Aemilianus.	10
11	141	"He is a mercenary," said Aemilianus, bitterly.	10
11	143	"I do not believe that," said Aemilianus.	10
11	145	Aemilianus was ignorant of something so basic as the action of Dietrich at Torcadino.	10
11	160	"Perhaps from the hands of Artemidorus himself," said Aemilianus.	10
11	164	"If you did know its contents," said Aemilianus, "I do not think you would have dared to bring it here".	10
11	166	"Its contents are not even in cipher," said Aemilianus.	10
11	169	"Does it not seem strange to you?" asked Aemilianus.	10
11	171	"I think," said Aemilianus, "this was intended to come into my hands".	10
11	177	"I will tell you where they really are," said Aemilianus.	10
11	185	Aemilianus smiled.	10
11	188	"While Cos is at Torcadino, and Ar's Station under siege?" "You see the absurdity of the report," said Aemilianus.	10
11	194	I was confident, as Aemilianus was not, that the report was authentic, even if, in some respects, it might not be reliable.	10
11	195	Aemilianus laughed, and, so, too, did several of the men about.	10
11	197	"Where?" Aemilianus looked at me, angrily.	10
11	207	"The report is inaccurate," said Aemilianus.	10
11	217	"He could not take Torcadino," said Aemilianus.	10
11	220	"He would have too few to hold it," said Aemilianus.	10
11	226	"And what do you suppose will eventuate?" asked Aemilianus.	10
11	231	"Why would Dietrich of Tarnburg risk this perilous intervention?" asked Aemilianus.	10
11	233	"And such may be found in a hundred towns and cities," said Aemilianus.	10
11	238	"And do you share such sentiments?" asked Aemilianus.	10
11	240	"Such would bring peace," said Aemilianus.	10
11	249	"I shall now explain to you the situation as it actually exists," said Aemilianus.	10
11	269	"Do you realize the cost of supporting such forces?" asked Aemilianus.	10
11	271	"There is not so much gold in Cos and Tyros," said Aemilianus.	10
11	276	Aemilianus made a small, negative gesture.	10
11	283	"It is a little joke on the part of the regent," said Aemilianus.	10
11	287	"'The bearer of this cylinder, who calls himself Tarl, of Port Kar,'" read Aemilianus, "'is a Cosian spy.	10
11	293	I put back my head, as I could, to look at Aemilianus.	10
11	296	"And you are the one who has been tricked," smiled Aemilianus.	10
11	298	"Did you truly think we might surrender the city?" asked Aemilianus.	10
11	300	"But where," asked a young fellow in the back, the first time he had spoken, "are the relieving forces of Ar?" "It is my hope that they are on their way here," said Aemilianus.	10
11	304	"I do not know," said Aemilianus.	10
11	305	"It is possible, is it not," asked the young fellow, "that they might arrive too late?" "It is too possible," said Aemilianus.	10
11	309	"Who would do this?" asked Aemilianus.	10
11	314	"You were not on the river," said Aemilianus.	10
11	316	"Go," said Aemilianus, resigned.	10
11	323	Aemilianus rose up, unsteadily.	10
11	331	"Put him with the other spy," said Aemilianus.	10
12	251	I was then conducted as I was, bound and naked, on a tether, before Aemilianus.	10
13	164	You, Lady Claudia, traitress and slut, have been sentenced by Aemilianus.	10
13	167	Aemilianus, for some reason, seems hesitant about you".	10
13	175	I was not surprised that Aemilianus was less certain what to do with me.	10
13	178	Were they really spurious, and had they really been intended to bring about the surrender of Ar's Station why would they not have been more realistically conceived, that they might have been more likely to achieve such a purpose? For example, why would they not have been in some cipher, one which mi...	10
15	26	It was in this fashion, I had gathered, from her own account of her capture, that she had been bound on the wall, and brought before Aemilianus.	10
15	822	"It is the orders of Aemilianus," I said.	10
15	829	I did have respect for Aemilianus as a commander.	10
16	104	It would have made an excellent command post for Aemilianus, I thought, but, I gathered, he must be below, in the vicinity of the gate.	10
16	506	I would have thought Aemilianus, commander of the citadel, would have come to the wall, but I did not see the helmet with the crest of sleen hair.	10
16	515	Should the eye which opens on the awesomeness of the universe not apprehend as well the awesomeness of its own seeing? In man has the universe not come to self-consciousness, surprised that it should exist? Where then was Aemilianus? It was not my fight.	10
16	521	Where was Aemilianus! How dispirited seemed the defenders! How listlessly they stood! How resigned to their fate! What preparations did they make for the towers? Did they think they now faced only fellows on ladders, fellows climbing ropes, the clinging, climbing, creeping, shouting swarms, stinging...	10
17	109	It was where I would have expected to have found Aemilianus.	10
17	586	In this covered way, men passing him, from various parts of the citadel, presumably taking their way to the harbor area, on a piece of stone, broken from the inside of the way, his head in his hands, sat Aemilianus, bleeding.	10
17	599	Aemilianus, with two retainers, remained where he was, below and to the left, he bleeding, sitting on the piece of stone.	10
17	600	"Hurry!" I heard someone call, I suppose to Aemilianus.	10
17	602	"It is the recall!" cried one of the fellows with Aemilianus.	10
17	605	But Aemilianus did not move.	10
17	647	Aemilianus looked up at me, dully.	10
17	650	"Assist me," I said to the two fellows loyally with Aemilianus.	10
17	651	"Go," said Aemilianus.	10
17	654	"Who are you?" asked Aemilianus.	10
17	657	"Stop!" cried Aemilianus, but his two fellows had seized him, one by each arm, and, putting his arms about their shoulders, hurried him toward the east corridor.	10
17	670	In an Ihn or two I had caught up with the others, Aemilianus, the two fellows supporting him, and the two who had waited behind to block the passage.	10
17	696	"I smell smoke," said one of the fellows supporting Aemilianus.	10
17	734	"You should have left me to die by the gate," said Aemilianus.	10
17	740	"It is shame that I should die before them," said Aemilianus.	10
18	10	"Hail, Commander!" then cried the fellows there, spying Aemilianus.	10
18	11	"Why do they call you 'Captain'?" asked Aemilianus.	10
18	15	"It was you who held the wall so long?" asked Aemilianus.	10
18	24	"I will not go to Cos, naked in a cage," said Aemilianus to one of his men, one of the two who had stayed with him.	10
18	67	Aemilianus was sitting on the landing near me.	10
18	86	Suddenly Aemilianus looked at me.	10
18	94	"It makes no difference," said Aemilianus, wearily.	10
18	100	Two spears were thrust through the net, about two feet apart, and Aemilianus was placed on it.	10
18	110	Aemilianus struggled to focus his eyes on him.	10
18	115	"It seems," said Aemilianus, "that we may choose to die here, or there".	10
18	117	Aemilianus smiled.	10
18	120	"With Cosians?" smiled Aemilianus.	10
18	126	"Do as you will," said Aemilianus, wearily.	10
18	130	"Aemilianus asks terms!" called the officer, up to the wall.	10
18	131	I saw the fists of Aemilianus, in the improvised litter, clench.	10
18	139	"Aemilianus himself agrees to surrender his person into your hands!" called the officer.	10
18	140	Aemilianus lay back on the litter, on the stone of the landing, his eyes closed.	10
18	169	"I will remain here," said Aemilianus.	10
18	172	I gestured to the bearers of his litter, who lifted it, the two fellows with the spears thrust through the net, Aemilianus on the net between the spears.	10
18	173	Aemilianus stretched his hand toward me, and I clasped it.	10
18	289	I had little doubt that these were the results of the commands of Aemilianus, now out on the piers somewhere, hoping that they might, in their small way, aid in the evacuation of the landing.	10
18	429	"Go back, and tell Aemilianus that the evacuation is complete.	10
18	444	I would not order, nor did I think Aemilianus would either, any to stand here beside me, not given what must be done.	10
20	7	I was conducted into the presence of Aemilianus.	10
20	8	"You did well, to hold the walkway, you and others," said Aemilianus.	10
20	15	"You held it for the time that was needed," said Aemilianus, "the time required to seal off the piers".	10
20	22	"Who are you?" "Ar's Station is gone," I said to Aemilianus.	10
20	36	"So," said Aemilianus, "though I did continue to hope, I would not risk the Home Stone.	10
20	47	"From both sides?" asked Aemilianus.	10
20	53	"The Cosians will spend time in barrages of fire," said Aemilianus, "from the boats, from the rafts.	10
20	59	"When the Cosians ascend the piers themselves," continued Aemilianus, "we will meet them, with what men we still have, and make them pay for every board they cross.	10
20	62	"Of course, you fool," said Aemilianus, angrily.	10
20	65	"We need Aemilianus, our commander," said a man, "not a body for a shield".	10
20	66	Aemilianus tried, angrily, to rise to his feet.	10
20	68	Aemilianus sank back, to a sitting position.	10
20	73	"I have never known you to refuse an order," said Aemilianus, puzzled.	10
20	76	"No, old friend!" begged Aemilianus.	10
20	78	"You," said Aemilianus, lifting his hand to me.	10
20	84	"No?" said Aemilianus.	10
20	87	"But you have fought for us!" said Aemilianus.	10
20	92	"Your word, Surilius," protested Aemilianus, turning again to the aide, his friend.	10
20	95	"You are a good soldier," said Aemilianus.	10
20	100	A fellow lowered Aemilianus to the boards, amidst the feet about him.	10
20	101	Aemilianus lifted his hand to his friend.	10
20	105	"It will not be long now, will it, dear friend," said Aemilianus.	10
20	145	I saw Surilius, grasping his sword, look down at the unconscious figure of Aemilianus.	10
20	162	Surilius was shaking Aemilianus, trying to arouse him.	10
20	164	"The topaz!" he cried to Aemilianus.	10
20	206	, the parts of the stone came into the keeping of Calliodorus, at that time acting first captain in Port Cos, and Aemilianus, who was at that time commander of the naval forces of Ar's Station.	10
20	232	"Where is Aemilianus?" called the captain.	10
20	244	The captain and the young fellow, Marcus, made their way to the side of Aemilianus.	10
20	249	The captain, whose name I had gathered was Calliodorus, he who had apparently fought long ago with Aemilianus on the river, when both were lesser officers, crouched beside him.	10
20	251	Aemilianus held it, tears in his eyes.	10
20	253	He then, steadying the stone in the hand of Aemilianus, who could scarcely hold it, fitted the two stones together.	10
20	256	I saw a blond slave, thin and in rags, dare to crawl among the legs of free men, to lie on her stomach near Aemilianus.	10
20	264	Calliodorus put the hands of Aemilianus on the stone, and placed his own hands over them.	10
20	267	"My thanks, Commander," said Aemilianus, softly.	10
20	281	Aemilianus lifted his hand to him, and weakly grasped it.	10
20	285	"Such things cannot be done in a moment," said Aemilianus.	10
20	291	Aemilianus smiled.	10
20	298	"How many ships have you?" asked Aemilianus, a commander's question.	10
20	300	"Unidentified?" smiled Aemilianus.	10
20	304	"How many of these came with you?" asked Aemilianus.	10
20	306	"These ships would not be under the command of one called Jason, of Victoria?" smiled Aemilianus.	10
20	312	I moved away from the crowd about Aemilianus and walked along the outer edge of the piers.	10
20	381	Turning about, looking back to my left, toward the flagship, I saw Aemilianus being carried aboard.	10
21	1	The River "Let the first of the two females be fetched," said Aemilianus.	10
21	10	Aemilianus sat on the deck, rather before the steps leading up to the helm deck and, above that, to the height of the stern castle, leaning against a backrest of canvas and rope.	10
21	35	"I thought it was you," had said Aemilianus, weakly.	10
21	43	"Had you not held the wall as long as you did," had said Aemilianus.	10
21	47	Back by the port side of the stairs leading to the helm deck, a few feet from where Aemilianus sat, knelt Shirley, his beautiful blond slave.	10
21	52	Too, looking at her, I realized that Aemilianus, too, must be feeling much better, and much stronger.	10
21	81	"How is my old friend Callimachus, commander of the forces of the Vosk League?" asked Aemilianus of Calliodorus.	10
21	85	"Doubtless he will also be certain to be publicly visible in Victoria," smiled Aemilianus.	10
21	90	Aemilianus laughed.	10
21	95	Then she was sat on the deck, before Aemilianus.	10
21	126	"Kneel," said Aemilianus, gently.	10
21	132	Was she unaware of her slave curves? Could she not sense how she would look, vended naked from a block? Aemilianus made a small sign to Calliodorus.	10
21	188	"Spare me, noble Cosians!" She clasped her hands together piteously, holding them forth toward Calliodorus and Aemilianus.	10
21	218	She lifted herself a little from the deck, lifting her head, still half concealed in hood, to Calliodorus and Aemilianus.	10
21	270	"Is this the behavior typical of the women of Ar's Station?" smiled Calliodorus, glancing at Aemilianus.	10
21	271	"Say more simply it is the behavior typical of women," smiled Aemilianus.	10
21	284	"You are aboard the Tais, a warship of Port Cos," said Aemilianus.	10
21	292	"I understand nothing of what is going on," she said to Aemilianus.	10
21	293	"Ten ships of Port Cos, and fifteen others," said Aemilianus, "entered the harbor of Ar's Station yesterday afternoon, shortly before what would presumably have been the last attack of Cos on the piers.	10
21	296	"Most of us," said Aemilianus.	10
21	298	"Slave chains," said Aemilianus.	10
21	333	Indeed, interestingly, although this was not known to the girl, that very gold had been used after the fall of the gate to assist in the escape of Aemilianus and his colleagues to the piers.	10
21	335	Aemilianus regarded her, evenly.	10
21	343	"Whether the degree of your exposure was sufficient to violate the codes of decorum is a subtle point," said Aemilianus, "but I will not press it".	10
21	345	"But you are of the Merchants," said Aemilianus, smiling.	10
21	351	"I do not press the point," said Aemilianus.	10
21	354	"True," said Aemilianus.	10
21	360	What would be the point of that, to protect Cosians from a mistake which they never had the opportunity to make?" "You hoped by your mode of dress, and such," said Aemilianus, "to conceal that you were of a caste on which vengeances might be visited, and thus to improve your chances of survival".	10
21	370	"In the way of a female?" asked Aemilianus.	10
21	377	Am I to be blamed, too, for being more beautiful than many women of Ar's Station, for I am certain that I am, and for thus having some additional unfair advantage over them?" "Why did you not donate your hair to the defense of the city?" asked Aemilianus.	10
21	449	Aemilianus did not speak.	10
21	451	The face of Aemilianus remained expressionless.	10
21	456	It is every woman for herself!" "I understand," said Aemilianus.	10
21	464	At this point she lifted her chained wrists to Aemilianus.	10
21	465	"The matter," said Aemilianus, "is considerably more complex than you seem to understand.	10
21	490	"I would certainly not think so," said Aemilianus.	10
21	528	You can see that I am not branded!" "Are you, or are you not, a free woman?" asked Aemilianus.	10
21	534	Then, kneeling up, again, off her heels, she straightened her back, and, I fear, was preparing to respond boldly, and negatively, to the question of Aemilianus.	10
21	544	She then turned again, on her knees, to face Aemilianus.	10
21	551	She was surely under no delusion, now, as to whether Aemilianus and the others knew the truth.	10
21	553	"It is a serious matter," said Aemilianus to her, "when a she-tarsk claims not to be a she-tarsk".	10
21	556	Even Aemilianus smiled.	10
21	561	I had not wanted her to assert, explicitly, in response to the question of Aemilianus, concerning her status, that she was a free woman.	10
21	566	"Kneel," said Aemilianus.	10
21	570	Aemilianus' eyes were upon her.	10
21	580	Finding herself under the continuing regard of Aemilianus the former Lady Publia, her charade of pretended freedom over, wisely spread her knees.	10
21	584	Too, she understood, clearly, from his gaze, that this gesture or attitude, or posture, was expected of her by Aemilianus.	10
21	589	"At which point," said Aemilianus, "you ceased to be a person, and became a property".	10
21	607	"It is a suitable answer," said Aemilianus.	10
21	610	"You are in slave chains," observed Aemilianus.	10
21	620	"Put her to one side," said Aemilianus, "and bring forth the other female".	10
21	627	She was put on her knees before Aemilianus.	10
21	629	"Consider," said Aemilianus, "the exciting costume in which the prisoner appears before us, the baring of so much of the arms, the baring of the calves, the ankles, the feet, the cling of it, indicating it conceals no undergarments but only female, how closely it resembles in many ways that of some ...	10
21	635	"Are these ingenious rags yours?" asked Aemilianus of the figure kneeling before him.	10
21	638	"Why are you wearing them?" asked Aemilianus.	10
21	642	"Let us see who this woman is," said Aemilianus, "who has disguised herself as the former Lady Publia, and who for some reason, it seems, fears to be recognized".	10
21	647	"Is she recognized?" asked Aemilianus.	10
21	649	"I think I understand, now," said Aemilianus, "why you feared to be recognized".	10
21	664	"You have been found guilty of treason against your city, and are under sentence of impalement," said Aemilianus.	10
21	666	Aemilianus turned to Marsias, who lay nearby, wounded, reclining on one elbow, on a pallet.	10
21	668	"Do you, Lady Claudia," asked Aemilianus, "regret your treason?" "Keenly," she said.	10
21	691	"No, you are not," said Aemilianus, "for you are free".	10
21	697	"Has a suitable spear been prepared?" asked Aemilianus.	10
21	699	"Let her garments be removed," said Aemilianus.	10
21	712	There was little doubt that Aemilianus himself was impressed with her.	10
21	717	"Let her chains be removed," said Aemilianus, "and her hands tied behind her.	10
21	722	Apparently Aemilianus had called for the tie, in this context, as an act of mercy.	10
21	729	"Of course," said Aemilianus.	10
21	731	"True," said Aemilianus.	10
21	735	"Only days ago," said Aemilianus, "that would have seemed unthinkable".	10
21	737	"No," said Aemilianus.	10
21	744	"Ar looks not with favor upon the Vosk League," said Aemilianus.	10
21	747	"It was thought by many in Ar, seemingly Marlenus among them," said Aemilianus, "that entry into the league would appear to accept the principle that Ar was but one power among others on the river, and not the sole mistress of the waterway, as she would be.	10
21	752	"Yes?" said Aemilianus, returning his attention to me.	10
21	754	"It was the justice of Ar's Station," said Aemilianus.	10
21	758	"The question," said Aemilianus, "is not so much the suitability of the female for "helpless-slut" status as one of justice".	10
21	770	Aemilianus' slave, Shirley, too, regarded me, her eyes wide, frightened.	10
21	773	"Do you approve of treason?" asked Aemilianus.	10
21	785	"She looks well in slave chains, does she not?" I asked Aemilianus.	10
21	794	I turned to Aemilianus.	10
21	798	"Their honor," said Aemilianus, quietly.	10
21	802	Is that not so?" "It is so," said Aemilianus.	10
21	805	"You will not assure us it was all 'nothing'?" smiled Aemilianus.	10
21	862	"And are not those the very women who first bare their breasts to conquerors and beg the privilege of licking their feet?" "Perhaps, upon occasion," said Aemilianus.	10
21	877	Aemilianus looked at the Lady Claudia, "Do you understand the nature of our discourse, of that of which we speak?" "Yes," she said.	10
21	885	"Lift your head," said Aemilianus.	10
21	904	"It only remains now," said Aemilianus, "for the sentence to be carried out.	10
21	914	Aemilianus regarded her.	10
21	917	She then looked about herself, frightened, now no more than another lovely slave amongst men, one of hundreds of thousands such as she, this one kneeling chained before Aemilianus.	10
21	918	"Bring the other slave here, too," said Aemilianus, gesturing to the former Lady Publia.	10
21	921	"Calliodorus, my friend," said Aemilianus, "behold two slaves".	10
21	923	"Do you find them pleasing?" asked Aemilianus.	10
21	926	"This one," said Aemilianus, indicating the former Lady Publia, "at least for the time, we will call 'Publia.	10
21	930	"No," she said, "only Publia, Master, only Publia, a slave!" "And this one," continued Aemilianus, indicating the former Lady Claudia, "at least for the time, we will call 'Claudia.	10
21	965	"It is my request, if it is not too much trouble," said Aemilianus to Calliodorus, "that both of these slaves be taken to Port Cos, and there properly branded and collared".	10
21	1027	"And then," said Aemilianus, "if you would, as one of these females was prepared to surrender herself to Cosians, and the other served Cosians, in betraying her city, see that they come into the keeping of Cosians".	10
21	1053	"Do you have on board facilities for slaves?" inquired Aemilianus.	10
21	1055	"Excellent," said Aemilianus.	10
21	1060	Aemilianus then nodded to Calliodorus.	10
21	1320	"No matter," said Aemilianus.	10
21	1322	"Certainly," said Aemilianus.	10
21	1324	"Excellent," smiled Aemilianus.	10
21	1326	"Of course," said Aemilianus.	10
21	1396	"Do you think," asked Aemilianus of Calliodorus, "that 'Claudia' is too fine a name for a slave?" "I think it is an excellent name for a slave," he smiled.	10
21	1397	"You would," smiled Aemilianus.	10
21	1398	I supposed that Aemilianus might think that Cosian names might be better for slaves, whereas Calliodorus might tend to approve more of names more typical of the south, say, those of Venna or Ar.	10
21	1401	Aemilianus's slave, for example, who was Gorean, was named "Shirley".	10
21	1403	"I think you are right," said Aemilianus.	10
21	1415	"Aemilianus, my friend," said Calliodorus.	10
21	1418	"Would you mind if, tomorrow morning, the two slaves, Claudia and Publia, were made available to the crew?" "Of course not," said Aemilianus.	10
21	1421	"By nightfall," said Aemilianus, "I do not think they would want to throw themselves overboard".	10
21	1424	"Use them as you please," said Aemilianus.	10
21	1427	"No explanations are necessary," said Aemilianus.	10
21	1430	To be sure, even though she was the preferred slave of Aemilianus, her use could be handed about as easily as that of the lowest collar sluts on board, Claudia and Publia.	10
21	1432	Shirley cried out with joy, looking upon Aemilianus.	10
21	1435	"Undoubtedly," smiled Aemilianus.	10
21	1437	"Name it," said Aemilianus.	10
21	1439	"Do as you wish," said Aemilianus.	10
21	1441	"How is it," asked Aemilianus, "that you have a flag of Ar's Station on a ship of Port Cos?" "One can never tell when such things might be useful," smiled Calliodorus.	10
21	1444	"Perhaps," smiled Aemilianus.	10
21	1446	"Dear friend," said Aemilianus.	10
21	1447	Calliodorus bent down and clasped the upraised hand of Aemilianus.	10
21	1454	He had given it to Aemilianus, who had, in turn, given it into the keeping of Surilius, his aide.	10
21	1457	"But, dear friend," said Aemilianus, "is there not one touch else that might be in order, to indicate a successful voyage?" "I was thinking of asking about it," smiled Calliodorus.	10
21	1458	"Hang them in chains, at the prow!" said Aemilianus.	10
21	1470	"I must be about my duties, my friend," then said Calliodorus to Aemilianus.	10
21	1473	Calliodorus stopped for a moment, as though he wanted to say something more to Aemilianus, but he then seemed to think the better of it.	10
21	1474	He then climbed the steps behind Aemilianus, to the helm deck.	10
21	1476	"He wanted to issue warnings," said Aemilianus, smiling.	10
21	1478	"Yes," said Aemilianus.	10
21	1497	"She and Publia," said Aemilianus.	10
21	1508	"Because Aemilianus, and those like him," I said, "are honorable men".	10
21	1520	"And in particular," said Aemilianus, "one who was soon to become a mere slave".	10
21	1522	Shirley, holding and pressing her lips to the hand of Aemilianus, looked up at me.	10
21	1528	I then, quietly, withdrew from the presence of Aemilianus, permitting Shirley to attend him.	10
21	1535	I wondered what the warnings of Calliodorus, if Aemilianus had read him aright, might have been about.	10
24	2	Aemilianus, standing now, but supported by Surilius, was there with us.	10
24	11	He had shared this with Aemilianus, it seemed.	10
24	16	"I had never thought to come in this way to Port Cos," said Aemilianus.	10
24	62	Among them, with no special sign of her status, as being the preferred slave of Aemilianus himself, was Shirley, only one slave amongst others.	10
24	87	So, too, was Aemilianus, supported by Surilius.	10
24	91	Aemilianus could not have asked for more honor.	10
24	119	A curule chair was brought for Aemilianus and set on the bow deck.	10
24	155	"Gentlemen," said Aemilianus, from his curule chair, "as we are nearing Port Cos, it behooves me to speak plainly to you.	10
24	170	"What I tell you now," said Aemilianus, "is already common knowledge in Port Cos".	10
24	174	I recalled that Calliodorus, even on the first morning out from Ar's Station, after we had attended to the females, those who were now both slaves, and lay near us in their chains, had seemed ready, then not ready, to speak to Aemilianus of certain weighty matters, that he might have been considerin...	10
24	192	"We are coming to Port Cos," said Aemilianus.	10
24	201	"Not officially, not in Ar," said Aemilianus.	10
24	205	"The situation is reputed to stand thus," said Aemilianus.	10
24	210	"Would you rather return to the ashes of Ar's Station?" asked Aemilianus, bitterly.	10
24	212	"Of course not," said Aemilianus.	10
24	216	"Specifically, from the dispatches," said Aemilianus.	10
24	223	"Yes," said Aemilianus.	10
24	226	"It is said," said Aemilianus, "as Calliodorus has told me, that even a whisper in Ar is heard in Telnus by nightfall".	10
24	237	"There is more," said Aemilianus, bitterly.	10
24	257	"It is perhaps as much as you should know now," said Aemilianus, grimly.	10
24	259	"The occasion is festive," said Aemilianus.	10
24	264	"Better it had never done so," said Aemilianus.	10
24	276	"Sheath your swords, beloved friends," said Aemilianus.	10
24	311	"Beloved friends," said Aemilianus, "prepare yourselves to be received by our friends of Port Cos".	10
24	313	Most of those about Aemilianus then withdrew from the bow deck.	10
24	317	"Such seems to be the spirit in the northern camp of Ar," said Aemilianus.	10
24	322	"But they will not do so, will they?" asked Aemilianus.	10
24	324	"They are apparently intent upon destroying the Cosian expeditionary force in the north," said Aemilianus.	10
24	327	"Even so, they might not have as easy a time of it as they think," said Aemilianus.	10
24	330	"But if you were the Cosian commander in the north," I said to Aemilianus, "you would surely, if possible, avoid engaging the main body of Ar".	10
24	331	"True," said Aemilianus.	10
24	335	"It would seem so," said Aemilianus.	10
24	340	"Few conclusions in war, my eager young friend," said Aemilianus, "are foregone".	10
