Pyrrhus, much smaller than Arcesilaus, no more than four or five hundred pounds, who was in the ring hierarchy subordinate to Arcesilaus, was looking at the brunette, who was still in position. |
10 |
| 20 | 159 |
"Would she not be in danger from Arcesilaus," asked Cabot, "for she was used to bait a trap, one in which Kurii were slain?" "Arcesilaus does not bear her ill will," said Peisistratus, "but, too, it is not now practical for him to keep her. |
10 |
| 26 | 158 |
"And I must warn Lord Arcesilaus, if there is still time!" "Lord Arcesilaus will be warned by another," said Peisistratus, "for you might be easily recognized". |
10 |
| 5 | 5 |
"There," said his guide, whom we shall call Arcesilaus, pointing to the left, into the distance, and sky, "is Lake Fear. |
10 |
| 5 | 9 |
"Because of the saurians there," responded Arcesilaus, "descendents of saurians from the Home World". |
10 |
| 5 | 13 |
"But we shall have another," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 17 |
"This habitat, as many, is a cylinder," said Arcesilaus, "but many, too, are spherical". |
10 |
| 5 | 21 |
"One can arrange a variety of gravities," said Arcesilaus, "depending on the speed of the rotation". |
10 |
| 5 | 23 |
"This is far from the largest," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 25 |
"In measures with which you are familiar," said Arcesilaus, "some sixteen hundred square pasangs". |
10 |
| 5 | 27 |
"I do not know," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 29 |
"Far from the largest," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 31 |
"I suppose so," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 35 |
With the group, other than Cabot, Arcesilaus, and Pyrrhus, were the interlocutor, whom we shall call, following an earlier conversation between Cabot and the brunette, Grendel, and one or perhaps two others, depending on how one wishes to count. |
10 |
| 5 | 52 |
The other entity in our small group, which may or may not be counted, as one wishes, was the leashed pet of Arcesilaus, an unspeeched blonde human female, indeed, she whom we encountered earlier in the container. |
10 |
| 5 | 54 |
"Tal" had come, too, from the translators of Arcesilaus and Pyrrhus. |
10 |
| 5 | 135 |
"I had heard this," said Peisistratus, who glanced at Arcesilaus, who nodded. |
10 |
| 5 | 258 |
"No, no!" Arcesilaus, who was large, even for a Kur, had witnessed the preceding exchanges with a certain degree of tolerance. |
10 |
| 5 | 264 |
Arcesilaus then gave a slight shake to the blonde's leash, and she, who had been curled on the wood at his feet, quickly stood up. |
10 |
| 5 | 265 |
"Would you like to see our world?" inquired Arcesilaus of Cabot, through the translator. |
10 |
| 5 | 270 |
"Follow us, if you would," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 290 |
"It agrees," said Arcesilaus, "with that of Gor, adjusted seasonally, to the middle latitudes of that world". |
10 |
| 5 | 292 |
"Surely," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 295 |
"It is important to index these things to Gor," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 297 |
"It is similar in several of the other worlds," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 304 |
"Tell us about them," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 306 |
"They imprisoned you, for you are their enemy," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 311 |
"But how can a mere human, no more than a simple beast, be a friend to those as mighty and noble as Kurii?" "Do you think you are speaking ironically?" asked Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 316 |
"He is your friend?" inquired Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 320 |
"A great honor," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 321 |
The translator pronounced these words precisely, clearly, unemotionally, in accents of Ar, but Cabot could tell that Arcesilaus deemed this an intelligence of some moment. |
10 |
| 5 | 323 |
"Doubtless safe and well," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 327 |
Why then had he not seen him? "Tell us of Priest-Kings," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 330 |
"It is done," said Arcesilaus, "by an arrangement of mirrors outside the habitat and automated shutters within the habitat, utilizing the light, of course, of this system's primary". |
10 |
| 5 | 333 |
"An external atmosphere," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 335 |
"What could protect you from radiation," asked Cabot, "or from debris, of the sort which might be destroyed and scattered in a normal atmosphere?" "The habitats are shielded, of course," said Arcesilaus, "with several yards of slag, steel, stone, and such". |
10 |
| 5 | 344 |
"Certainly," said Arcesilaus, "but we would not wish to clutter the habitat with such miscellaneous utilities. |
10 |
| 5 | 352 |
"The farms are largely automated," said Arcesilaus, "though conditions must be monitored. |
10 |
| 5 | 357 |
"Oxygen is abundant in the silicate of our neighbors," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 363 |
Arcesilaus shrugged, a movement of large muscles moving like living rope beneath the skin, moving the shimmering fur in turn like wind in the water. |
10 |
| 5 | 366 |
"You can move the habitats?" "Of course," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 368 |
"We are not sure, now, from how far," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 370 |
"Wars," explained Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 371 |
"With all due respect," said Pyrrhus, glancing at the blonde, who lay at the feet of Arcesilaus, "the universe belongs by right to the Kurii. |
10 |
| 5 | 377 |
"You shudder?" inquired Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 379 |
"You have seen enough for one day," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 384 |
"Yes," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 386 |
"Why not?" "This is not a natural world," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 389 |
"Yes," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 5 | 392 |
Arcesilaus then gave a tiny shake to the blonde's leash, and she stood, happily. |
10 |
| 5 | 413 |
Arcesilaus then said something which was not picked up by the translator, and the blonde immediately went to all fours, the leash dangling up to her master's hand, or paw. |
10 |
| 5 | 421 |
Again the interlocutor growled, but a word from Arcesilaus, not transmitted, rebuffed him, and he put his shaggy head down, angrily, sullenly, on his chest. |
10 |
| 5 | 423 |
"Our compatriot," said Arcesilaus, indicating Grendel, "will see you to the stable". |
10 |
| 5 | 425 |
"It is getting late," said Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 6 | 17 |
"You know the pet of Arcesilaus!" called Cabot. |
10 |
| 6 | 19 |
Cabot had well recalled the menace in the beast's attitude, its growls, several days earlier, when he had smiled at the pet of Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 6 | 43 |
Would not Arcesilaus be pleased? You could use the translator". |
10 |
| 6 | 47 |
"Does Arcesilaus know?" asked Cabot. |
10 |
| 6 | 48 |
He was reasonably sure that Arcesilaus, despite what he had suggested, would not wish his pet to learn to speak. |
10 |
| 6 | 119 |
"You are fond of the pet of Arcesilaus," said Cabot. |
10 |
| 8 | 72 |
"One," said Cabot, "was a nasty, spoiled brat from England, though nicely faced and well-curved, who would make a nice slab of collar meat, suitably to be bid from the block, and the other was a pet, of Arcesilaus, whom I gather is an officer of yours, she, too, nicely faced and nicely curved". |
10 |
| 9 | 53 |
"What of Arcesilaus?" asked Cabot. |
10 |
| 10 | 1 |
Cabot Renews his Acquaintance with the Former Miss Pym "This," said Peisistratus, "is the portal to the apartment of Pyrrhus, subordinate to Arcesilaus, officer to Agamemnon". |
10 |
| 10 | 76 |
"You were a member of the party of Lord Arcesilaus, when I was removed from the stable, and introduced to your beautiful world". |
10 |
| 10 | 263 |
Cabot, on the Prison Moon, had seen the blonde leap similarly into the arms of the Kur he had come to recognize as Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 15 | 74 |
"When we are alone, free me! Return me to Arcesilaus, my master!" "Perhaps, eventually," he said. |
10 |
| 17 | 2 |
One, he was sure, was Arcesilaus, the blonde's owner. |
10 |
| 18 | 66 |
And so Cabot had pressed his lips, and forcibly, upon those of the grasped, startled pet of Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 18 | 70 |
It may help to understand this if we make it clear that Arcesilaus, despite several invitations, some coined, had never put her out to use, even after the reddening of her soft thighs. |
10 |
| 18 | 204 |
And certainly Arcesilaus knew she was at least to some extent speeched, as he had arranged for this, her tutoring being supplied largely by Grendel. |
10 |
| 18 | 213 |
"Her master," said Cabot, "is Lord Arcesilaus". |
10 |
| 18 | 232 |
"Lord Arcesilaus will not be pleased if you eat the girl," said Cabot. |
10 |
| 18 | 233 |
To be sure, Cabot was not certain of this, and Arcesilaus might have been, for all Cabot knew, contemplating the same act. |
10 |
| 20 | 131 |
"What is the fate," asked Cabot of Peisistratus, "of the pet of Arcesilaus?" "Are you not more interested in the fate of another?" asked Peisistratus. |
10 |
| 20 | 132 |
"The blonde human," said Cabot, "the pet of Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 20 | 136 |
"Freed her?" "To return her to Arcesilaus, of course". |
10 |
| 20 | 152 |
"Surely she understood she was to be returned to Arcesilaus". |
10 |
| 20 | 168 |
"And Arcesilaus was doubtless fond of her". |
10 |
| 20 | 171 |
"So she is to be slain, or sent to the cattle pens?" "When she was brought before Arcesilaus, she flung herself on her belly before him, and, her small wrists braceleted before her, she clasped his foot, and kissed and licked, weeping, piteously, at his claws, but he remained adamant". |
10 |
| 20 | 172 |
"And so she is to be slain, or sent to the cattle pens?" "Arcesilaus, I think, remains fond of her, and was pleased to learn she still lived, and that she had been brought safe to the Steel World". |
10 |
| 20 | 175 |
"But Arcesilaus will not keep her". |
10 |
| 21 | 18 |
"That is Lord Arcesilaus," he said. |
10 |
| 21 | 300 |
She is held accountable for the debacle in the forest, that of the hunting party of Lord Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 21 | 636 |
"Lord Arcesilaus, across the way," said Peisistratus, "is leaving the tiers". |
10 |
| 22 | 156 |
"As I understand it," said Peisistratus, "from Arcesilaus, and others, she was enclosed with you on the Prison Moon". |
10 |
| 24 | 166 |
"As was Lord Pyrrhus, and as is Lord Arcesilaus". |
10 |
| 24 | 169 |
"She has heard, and to save her own skin, she will betray you, and Peisistratus, and Arcesilaus". |
10 |
| 26 | 27 |
"With me, freed as well, was she who was once the blonde pet of Arcesilaus, later the pet of Grendel". |
10 |
| 26 | 35 |
"And Grendel did not rip out your throat?" "I fear the thought had crossed his mind," said Cabot, "but of greater interest to you, and one of the reasons I have sought you out, other than perhaps to kill you, is to inform you that the little blonde animal, as you think of her, and appropriately in m... |
10 |
| 27 | 156 |
"A man of Peisistratus will attempt to contact Lord Arcesilaus in the morning, in the cylinder day, openly, a fellow not to be suspected by Kur guards, as I might be". |
10 |
| 28 | 54 |
"You are attempting to contact Lord Arcesilaus?" "A man is on his way to his lodgings now," said Peisistratus. |
10 |
| 29 | 251 |
Had Lord Arcesilaus been warned? Presumably so, unless the messenger had been anticipated, or intercepted. |
10 |
| 32 | 25 |
"I will do my best to see that she does not betray Lord Arcesilaus and Peisistratus to the palace," said Cabot. |
10 |
| 32 | 78 |
"I recall you," said Cabot, "as the naked, collared pet of Lord Arcesilaus, and as once clothed only in chains, in breeding shackles, as I recall". |
10 |
| 32 | 197 |
"If she were a slave," said Cabot, "it would be easier to assure ourselves that she would not contact Kurii and implicate Lord Arcesilaus and Peisistratus in the matter of treasonous plotting". |
10 |
| 35 | 139 |
"What of Lord Arcesilaus?" asked Cabot. |
10 |
| 35 | 148 |
"It is Lord Arcesilaus," said Grendel. |
10 |
| 36 | 146 |
"It is the ring of Lord Arcesilaus," said the slave. |
10 |
| 36 | 150 |
"Yesterday," said the girl, "Lord Arcesilaus gave it to Lord Grendel, to be given to you this morning". |
10 |
| 36 | 155 |
He crouched down beside Arcesilaus, and turned on the Kur's translator. |
10 |
| 36 | 338 |
"You must remain here, to care for Lord Arcesilaus," said Cabot. |
10 |
| 36 | 347 |
"Do not rise," Cabot cautioned Lord Arcesilaus, for the Kur was now half on its feet, and blood emerged from beneath more than one bandage. |
10 |
| 36 | 348 |
Cabot went to the back of the cave, and Lord Arcesilaus subsided, in obvious pain. |
10 |
| 36 | 351 |
"Leave her behind," said Lord Arcesilaus, "and I will eat her, and this I swear by all the faces of the Nameless One". |
10 |
| 36 | 353 |
"Begone," said Lord Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 37 | 5 |
They were now six days from the cave where they had left Lord Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 38 | 7 |
"Hail, Lord Arcesilaus!" called Cabot. |
10 |
| 40 | 115 |
If this were so, and if Lord Arcesilaus still somehow lived, he, in the cave, would have doubtless heard it, as well. |
10 |
| 43 | 437 |
"To you, to you, to the allies, to Lord Peisistratus, to Lord Arcesilaus, to the foes of Agamemnon, to the revolution!" she said. |
10 |
| 44 | 262 |
"That of Lord Arcesilaus," said Lord Grendel. |
10 |
| 46 | 43 |
"Arcesilaus stood against him," said a Kur. |
10 |
| 46 | 44 |
"Arcesilaus is dead," said another. |
10 |
| 47 | 96 |
"For Pyrrhus, for Arcesilaus, for the war," said Cabot. |
10 |
| 50 | 71 |
"For Lord Arcesilaus," it said. |
10 |
| 51 | 3 |
Lord Grendel and Cabot had trekked about Lake Fear, on its nearer side to the habitats, in order to recover and burn the remains of Lord Arcesilaus, whom they had expected to find dead in the cave in which they had left him, long ago, sorely wounded, but, too, to replenish a supply of weapon points,... |
10 |
| 51 | 7 |
It had not been difficult for Lord Grendel and his human ally, Tarl Cabot, to locate the cave in which they had left Lord Arcesilaus, but, upon entering the cave, they had found it empty. |
10 |
| 51 | 8 |
"Lord Arcesilaus bled here," said Cabot, pointing to the rear of the cave. |
10 |
| 56 | 200 |
"It was to you that Lord Arcesilaus entrusted his ring," said Lord Grendel. |
10 |
| 56 | 205 |
Who better in such a cause than a human warrior to bear to Kur warriors the ring of Arcesilaus, mightiest of Kurii, mightiest of the foes of Agamemnon?" "I think," said Cabot, ruefully, "that they might have been shamed to face a fellow Kur in such role, one still with pride and status, who did not ... |
10 |
| 56 | 208 |
"It was due to the ring," said Cabot, "that I was enabled to enter their great camp, that of the gathering, engage their attention, and certify my authority to speak, and plead, on behalf of Lord Arcesilaus". |
10 |
| 56 | 216 |
"What then brought them to the field?" "To do honor to Lord Arcesilaus," said Cabot. |
10 |
| 56 | 267 |
"Mitonicus has the ring of Arcesilaus now, does he not?" asked Lord Grendel. |
10 |
| 57 | 102 |
"She betrayed Peisistratus and Lord Arcesilaus, and doubtless others, to Agamemnon, long ago. |
10 |
| 64 | 89 |
It is true she had betrayed Peisistratus and Arcesilaus to Lord Agamemnon long ago but the profit she had hoped to accrue from that act had been persuasive, and, of course, although this consideration would do little to mitigate or extenuate the treachery of her act, it might be recalled that she wa... |
10 |
| 64 | 106 |
Beyond the matter of the betrayal of Peisistratus and Lord Arcesilaus, she had, incidentally, as it turned out, no particularly active role in either the debacle of the arsenal or the projected massacre in the Vale of Destruction. |
10 |
| 64 | 116 |
Thus, most in Lord Grendel's camp had considered her guilty of three betrayals, the first of Peisistratus and Lord Arcesilaus, the second pertaining to the arsenal, which was costly, and the third, which turned out well due to no fault of hers, given the intervention of the mariners. |
10 |
| 65 | 5 |
"Surely," said Statius, "he does not have Lord Arcesilaus". |
10 |
| 65 | 8 |
"Lord Arcesilaus would surely not have us comply with the proclamation," said Archon. |
10 |
| 65 | 22 |
"It is our lives or that of Lord Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 65 | 33 |
"Our Kurii will die, that Arcesilaus may live?" said Cabot. |
10 |
| 65 | 56 |
What, then, is to prevent Lord Agamemnon from killing Lord Arcesilaus?" "Nothing," said a Kur. |
10 |
| 65 | 63 |
"I suspect," said Statius, "Agamemnon does not have Lord Arcesilaus". |
10 |
| 65 | 75 |
"Lord Agamemnon, Eleventh face of the Nameless One, Theocrat of the World," said their leader, "has Lord Arcesilaus in his power". |
10 |
| 66 | 14 |
Further, it is clear to me, as well, that Lord Arcesilaus would not wish this monstrous act, this self slaughtering, to take place, and, indeed, that he would forbid it, and categorically, had he the opportunity to do so. |
10 |
| 66 | 32 |
"Another life is at stake, that of the leader, Lord Arcesilaus". |
10 |
| 66 | 42 |
"He may kill Lord Arcesilaus," said a Kur. |
10 |
| 66 | 115 |
"Lord Arcesilaus is to be executed tomorrow, at noon, on the palace steps," said Cabot. |
10 |
| 67 | 1 |
Cabot's Journey; An Acquaintance is Renewed Cabot did not care to accompany Lord Grendel to the palace, to watch him die, as Kur, before Lord Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 67 | 4 |
This, too, was a portion of the price for Lord Arcesilaus' life. |
10 |
| 67 | 109 |
He thought of Lord Pyrrhus, slain in the arena, of Lord Arcesilaus, of the slaver, Peisistratus, of his dear friend, Lord Grendel. |
10 |
| 69 | 71 |
"Lord Arcesilaus is the Twelfth face of the Nameless One," said Peisistratus, "Theocrat of the World". |
10 |
| 69 | 73 |
"I thought our Kurii were to sacrifice themselves for the life of Arcesilaus". |
10 |
| 69 | 78 |
Thus, in the presence of Lord Arcesilaus, who was chained, and was still weak from wounds, standing on the steps of the palace, begging them to neglect him and renew the struggle, they must petition the loyalists to fire upon them". |
10 |
| 69 | 82 |
They petitioned the loyalists to destroy them where they stood, in honor, before the protesting, pleading Lord Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 69 | 83 |
The loyalists saw that Lord Arcesilaus did not wish to have his life purchased at such a cost. |
10 |
| 69 | 85 |
They saw, too, that our forces were prepared to give their lives for Lord Arcesilaus, and this, too, was Kur". |
10 |
| 69 | 95 |
"Fight!" cried Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 69 | 98 |
"'Kill them, kill them all!'" "'Fire!'" called out Lucullus, high captain to Agamemnon, who stood near Arcesilaus, amongst his many guards and jailers. |
10 |
| 69 | 104 |
"A voice then from somewhere amongst the loyalists," said a Kur, "we do not know who it was, cried out, 'Hail Lord Arcesilaus, Twelfth Face of the Nameless One, Theocrat of the World!'" "This cry," said another, "was taken up by a thousand voices. |
10 |
| 69 | 105 |
Guards beside Lord Arcesilaus raised their weapons to slay him, but they were burned alive beside him. |
10 |
| 69 | 109 |
"The chains of Lord Arcesilaus were struck off, and he was carried to the habitats, that he might be treated," said another. |
10 |
| 70 | 83 |
Too, I suspect Lord Arcesilaus, Lord Grendel, and several others, would be pleased to see you". |
10 |
| 71 | 4 |
You will not turn me over to Lord Arcesilaus, and others?" "No," said Cabot. |
10 |
| 71 | 13 |
Cabot also scratched, in Gorean, on the collar: "I am Flavion, adherent of Agamemnon, traitor to the cause of Lord Arcesilaus". |
10 |
| 73 | 12 |
"We extended the amnesty," said Lord Arcesilaus, from his throne in the palace, "and they came in, surrendered". |
10 |
| 73 | 14 |
"That is not my amnesty," said Lord Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 73 | 20 |
On the finger of Lord Arcesilaus was a large ring, heavy and ornate, a symbol of authority. |
10 |
| 73 | 21 |
Once Cabot had worn it about his neck on a string, and he had given it to Mitonicus who, later, had returned it to Lord Arcesilaus, who had been the early champion of the revolution, and the chief conspirator who had brought it to its beginning, before he had been betrayed to Agamemnon by a shapely ... |
10 |
| 73 | 22 |
"At a crucial moment," said Cabot, "as it was reported to me, in a far camp, one cried 'Hail Lord Arcesilaus, Twelfth Face of the Nameless One, Theocrat of the World. |
10 |
| 73 | 31 |
"But often not," said Lord Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 73 | 34 |
"Pray, remain for a time, noble ally," said Lord Arcesilaus, "for I shall decree a mighty festival, with days of rejoicing and feasting, which I would that you and yours, your splendid, numberless adherents and crews, shared with us". |
10 |
| 73 | 35 |
Zarendargar, war general of the Kurii, no longer military governor of the world, as Lord Arcesilaus had now been ensconced in the palace, inclined his head, in ready, gracious assent. |
10 |
| 73 | 36 |
"Our two worlds," said Lord Arcesilaus, "will be as one". |
10 |
| 73 | 40 |
"It is the Kur way," said Statius, who stood high in the councils of Lord Arcesilaus, Twelfth Face of the Nameless One, Theocrat of the World. |
10 |
| 73 | 47 |
"Human will no longer be eaten here," said Lord Arcesilaus, "nor hunted". |
10 |
| 73 | 49 |
"Some will be shipped to Gor, others will remain here," said Lord Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 73 | 61 |
"Without a body, he is harmless," said Lord Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 73 | 62 |
"Should we not now remove his victory stele from the Vale of Destruction," said a Kur, "and put there our own, to commemorate our victory?" "No," said Lord Arcesilaus, "let his victory there, of more than a century ago, be recalled. |
10 |
| 73 | 71 |
"Yes," said Lord Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 73 | 78 |
"The amnesty is the amnesty," said Lord Arcesilaus. |
10 |
| 73 | 93 |
"Perhaps," said Lord Arcesilaus, "he has in mind a pet". |
