"Torm," I once asked, "why is Earth origin not part of the First Knowledge?" "Is it not self-evident?" he asked. |
9 |
| 15 | 164 |
"And who," I asked, "is the Spear Slave?" "Does it matter?" asked Marlenus, sifting several of the Spear Slaves through his fingers, letting them drop, one by one, to the board. |
9 |
| 1 | 186 |
Why should it have been sent if not to have been kept? Besides, I had been warned about the letter—a warning I had foolishly neglected—but had been asked to carry the ring. |
8 |
| 1 | 230 |
I bent down and scooped up, as my father had asked, a handful of our green earth. |
8 |
| 2 | 58 |
"Your mother?" he asked, his eyes concerned. |
8 |
| 2 | 133 |
"Swords?" I asked. |
8 |
| 2 | 148 |
"Who are the Priest-Kings?" I asked. |
8 |
| 2 | 161 |
"Do you believe it?" I asked. |
8 |
| 2 | 164 |
"What sort of men are they?" I asked. |
8 |
| 2 | 215 |
"What of the ship that brought me here?" I asked. |
8 |
| 2 | 218 |
"By Priest-Kings?" I asked. |
8 |
| 2 | 261 |
"But why would this evidence not be understood?" I asked. |
8 |
| 3 | 76 |
"How is leadership determined in these cities?" I asked. |
8 |
| 3 | 78 |
"High Caste?" I asked. |
8 |
| 3 | 88 |
"In his judgment?" I asked skeptically. |
8 |
| 3 | 91 |
"But what if he does not give up the office?" I asked. |
8 |
| 3 | 97 |
"What happens then?" I asked. |
8 |
| 3 | 138 |
"Then what do we do?" I asked. |
8 |
| 3 | 178 |
"Is that rational?" he asked. |
8 |
| 3 | 220 |
"What is it?" I asked. |
8 |
| 4 | 96 |
"Who is Marlenus?" I asked, shaken. |
8 |
| 4 | 103 |
"And tonight?" I asked. |
8 |
| 4 | 157 |
"Will you keep the Code of the Warrior?" asked my father. |
8 |
| 4 | 159 |
"What is your Home Stone?" asked my father. |
8 |
| 4 | 161 |
"Is it to that city that you pledge your life, your honor, and your sword?" asked my father. |
8 |
| 4 | 175 |
"This has something to do with me?" I asked. |
8 |
| 5 | 77 |
"You're not—frightened?" I asked, stumbling on the words, feeling stupid. |
8 |
| 5 | 87 |
"Why do you tell a slave that you were frightened?" she asked. |
8 |
| 5 | 106 |
"Why?" she asked. |
8 |
| 5 | 117 |
"Would you diminish the worth of my gift to you?" I asked, feigning anger. |
8 |
| 6 | 92 |
"Can you hear this?" he asked. |
8 |
| 6 | 93 |
He had reduced the volume of the sound to its original level, the level at which he had asked his original question. |
8 |
| 6 | 109 |
"How did you know the Home Stone of Ar was stolen?" I asked. |
8 |
| 6 | 201 |
"Do you wish her head?" asked the mechanical voice of Nar. |
8 |
| 6 | 223 |
"And the Home Stone of Ar?" I asked. |
8 |
| 7 | 55 |
"Why?" I asked. |
8 |
| 7 | 60 |
"Why?" I asked, feeling angry. |
8 |
| 7 | 63 |
"Do you ask my favor?" I asked, which, on Gor, was much like asking if the person was willing to make a request—more simply, to say, "Please". |
8 |
| 7 | 133 |
"Are we out of the swamp?" she asked. |
8 |
| 7 | 140 |
"What do you want?" I asked. |
8 |
| 7 | 230 |
"Are you Talena?" asked the officer, once again, patiently. |
8 |
| 8 | 28 |
Talena seemed startled that I had asked for her freedom. |
8 |
| 8 | 90 |
"What are you going to do?" she asked. |
8 |
| 8 | 128 |
"Did he speak to you about it?" I asked. |
8 |
| 8 | 132 |
"You mean you never knew your father?" I asked. |
8 |
| 8 | 138 |
"May I ask your name?" she asked tactfully. |
8 |
| 8 | 143 |
Then she asked suddenly, "You are Tarl Cabot of Ko-ro-ba, are you not?" I failed to conceal my astonishment, and she laughed merrily. |
8 |
| 8 | 145 |
"How?" I asked. |
8 |
| 8 | 156 |
"How do you know all this?" I asked. |
8 |
| 8 | 160 |
"What if your slaves refused to do this for you?" I asked. |
8 |
| 8 | 163 |
"What are you doing?" asked Talena. |
8 |
| 8 | 165 |
"But why?" she asked, her eyes apprehensive. |
8 |
| 8 | 189 |
"How can I trust you?" I asked, weakening. |
8 |
| 8 | 194 |
"How?" I asked. |
8 |
| 9 | 31 |
"Aren't you going to watch?" she asked brazenly. |
8 |
| 9 | 68 |
"What do you suggest?" I asked. |
8 |
| 9 | 99 |
"Bristol?" asked the warrior, puzzled. |
8 |
| 9 | 106 |
"Who is she?" he asked. |
8 |
| 9 | 112 |
"What news of Ar?" I asked. |
8 |
| 9 | 124 |
"Where are you bound for?" I asked. |
8 |
| 9 | 130 |
"What news of the Home Stone of Ar and the daughter of Marlenus?" I asked, feeling it would be the sort of thing the warrior would expect me to be interested in. |
8 |
| 10 | 14 |
"Who are you?" asked Mintar, leaning forward a bit, inspecting first me and then Talena, whom he regarded with small interest. |
8 |
| 10 | 21 |
"Does any man in my service challenge for the woman of Tarl of Bristol?" he asked. |
8 |
| 10 | 44 |
"Tarl of Bristol," he said, "do you take service with Mintar, of the Merchant Caste?" "If I do not?" I asked. |
8 |
| 10 | 50 |
"What about the girl?" asked Mintar. |
8 |
| 10 | 62 |
"Is she of High Caste?" asked Mintar, apparently puzzled at my lack of interest in his bargaining. |
8 |
| 10 | 148 |
"Do I please you?" she asked. |
8 |
| 10 | 159 |
"Shall I call for the iron?" asked Kazrak. |
8 |
| 10 | 189 |
"What is the meaning of that?" "Surely you are familiar with a slave whip?" I asked, picking it up and, with amusement, slapping it once or twice in my palm. |
8 |
| 11 | 29 |
"What will become of me in Ko-ro-ba?" she asked. |
8 |
| 11 | 85 |
As she moved slowly before me, she asked softly, "Do I please you, Master?" There had been no scorn, no irony in her voice. |
8 |
| 13 | 77 |
"What is your name?" I asked. |
8 |
| 13 | 83 |
"Did you escape from one of the Dar-Kosis Pits?" I asked. |
8 |
| 13 | 97 |
"Would you like the Holy Disease?" he asked, stretching out one hand in the darkness, as if trying to clutch my hand. |
8 |
| 14 | 32 |
"What can you, a simple tarnsman, know of these things?" he asked. |
8 |
| 14 | 38 |
"Do you know, Tarnsman," he asked, "that there is no justice without the sword?" He smiled down on me grimly. |
8 |
| 14 | 53 |
"But," I asked, "what of the dream of Ar, that dream of which you spoke, that dream that you believed it right to bring about?" "Yes?" said Marlenus. |
8 |
| 14 | 54 |
"Is that a right dream?" I asked. |
8 |
| 14 | 69 |
He had not asked and did not now appear to have much interest in the matter. |
8 |
| 14 | 78 |
"Did she submit to you?" asked Marlenus. |
8 |
| 14 | 117 |
"Do you wish me to kill you now?" he asked softly. |
8 |
| 14 | 121 |
"Why this kindness?" I asked. |
8 |
| 14 | 123 |
"But why?" I asked. |
8 |
| 14 | 127 |
"How do you know this?" I asked. |
8 |
| 14 | 132 |
He asked no more if he should kill me, but rose to his feet and walked away, under the snapping wing of one of the tarns, and waved farewell. |
8 |
| 15 | 110 |
"Will Kazrak and his guest, Tarl of Bristol, please accompany me to the tent of Mintar, of the Merchant Caste?" asked the man. |
8 |
| 15 | 162 |
"And I am the Tarnsman?" I asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 173 |
"You are willing," I asked, "to turn the city over to Pa-Kur—that his horde should swarm into the cylinders, that the city may be looted and burned, the people destroyed or enslaved?" I shuddered involuntarily at the thought of the uncontrolled hordes of Pa-Kur among the spires of Ar, butcher... |
8 |
| 15 | 181 |
"Can't you enter the city and take power?" I asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 187 |
"Do you have a way into the city?" I asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 239 |
"Have you no love for her?" I asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 250 |
"How did you know I would come to the camp?" I asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 259 |
"Where are the tents of Pa-Kur?" I asked. |
8 |
| 16 | 71 |
"Are you rid of your senses?" he asked. |
8 |
| 16 | 95 |
I felt a choking sensation in my throat and asked myself if I had sent my friend to his death. |
8 |
| 18 | 51 |
"What of the roof of the cylinder," I asked, "when the tarn wire is down?" "Marlenus will not escape," repeated the officer, adding in a surly tone, "unless he can fly". |
8 |
| 18 | 54 |
"Where," I asked, "shall Pa-Kur take the daughter of the false Ubar to be executed?" The officer pointed to a distant cylinder. |
8 |
| 19 | 14 |
The men of Ar discard their weapons!" "Will you not try to save your daughter?" I asked. |
8 |
| 19 | 140 |
"How is it that you can kill me if I do not turn my back?" I asked. |
8 |
| 19 | 239 |
"What will you do with me?" she asked. |
8 |
| 19 | 248 |
"Are you a true warrior?" she asked, her eyes bright with mischief, testing me, her voice breathless. |

"But are you not intrigued, Stranger," asked the man, his pale eyes squinting up at me through the folds of the gray robe, "by the offer of a tarn, gold and provisions?" "What must I do to earn this?" I asked. |
9 |
| 1 | 19 |
He asked me, and I am certain he was serious, to meet him at the same place in three days. |
8 |
| 1 | 55 |
"Would you like a drink?" he asked. |
8 |
| 1 | 76 |
"Who?" I asked. |
8 |
| 1 | 80 |
"Where is home?" asked Cabot, staring into the half-filled glass. |
8 |
| 1 | 97 |
"What are you doing?" I asked. |
8 |
| 1 | 100 |
"What does that mean?" I asked, my words fumbling a bit, blurred by the liquor, made unsteady by my fear. |
8 |
| 1 | 153 |
"Why have you shown me this?" I asked. |
8 |
| 3 | 57 |
"What do you want?" asked the carrier of wood, who must now have noticed that my shield and accouterments bore no insignia, and would have concluded that I was an outlaw. |
8 |
| 3 | 63 |
"Is your hut near?" I asked. |
8 |
| 3 | 94 |
"Zosk of what city?" I asked. |
8 |
| 3 | 100 |
"Of what city?" I asked. |
8 |
| 4 | 21 |
I asked myself, in a sane moment, if I should not seek shelter, and I knew that I should, but I could not—because questions burned within me that I could not dare to answer. |
8 |
| 5 | 38 |
"Are you," I asked, "a Priest-King?" "No," he said. |
8 |
| 5 | 40 |
"Do you speak for the Priest-Kings?" I asked. |
8 |
| 5 | 46 |
"Are you truly of the Caste of Initiates?" I asked. |
8 |
| 5 | 65 |
"Did I not serve the Priest-Kings," I asked, "at the siege of Ar?" "The Priest-Kings used you for their ends, as it pleased them to do". |
8 |
| 5 | 82 |
"Would that not frustrate the will of the Priest-Kings?" I asked. |
8 |
| 5 | 87 |
"An Initiate?" I asked. |
8 |
| 6 | 148 |
"Do I please you?" she asked. |
8 |
| 6 | 152 |
"Am I beautiful?" she asked. |
8 |
| 6 | 157 |
"Do you wish me to kneel to be collared?" she asked. |
8 |
| 6 | 159 |
"Do you wish to see me fully?" she asked. |
8 |
| 6 | 165 |
"Are you not one of them?" she asked. |
8 |
| 6 | 166 |
"One of whom?" I asked, now alert, for if there were slavers on the trail of this girl it would mean trouble, perhaps bloodshed. |
8 |
| 6 | 168 |
"Tharna?" I asked, genuinely surprised. |
8 |
| 6 | 175 |
"What is your name?" I asked. |
8 |
| 6 | 177 |
"Of what city?" I asked. |
8 |
| 6 | 206 |
"Why should I yield her to you?" I asked. |
8 |
| 6 | 221 |
"And her price?" asked Thorn. |
8 |
| 7 | 53 |
"Then it is agreed?" he asked. |
8 |
| 7 | 60 |
"Who are you?" he asked. |
8 |
| 7 | 66 |
"Of what city?" he asked. |
8 |
| 7 | 123 |
"To whom do you belong?" he asked. |
8 |
| 7 | 129 |
"Are you of Ko-ro-ba?" I asked. |
8 |
| 7 | 134 |
"Why have you dared to survive your city?" she asked. |
8 |
| 8 | 78 |
"What is your business in Tharna?" he asked. |
8 |
| 8 | 87 |
"Have you money?" he asked. |
8 |
| 8 | 89 |
"How then," he asked, "do you propose to obtain your tarn?" "I am not an outlaw," I said, "though I wear no insignia on my tunic, or shield". |
8 |
| 8 | 117 |
"What then?" I asked. |
8 |
| 8 | 119 |
"What must I do?" I asked. |
8 |
| 8 | 125 |
"What woman?" I asked. |
8 |
| 8 | 127 |
"And who is Lara?" I asked. |
8 |
| 9 | 8 |
"What is she to you?" asked the man. |
8 |
| 9 | 42 |
"Man of Tharna," I asked, "where can I find an inn?" "There are no inns in Tharna," said the man, looking at me closely. |
8 |
| 9 | 48 |
"Is there no Paga Tavern near," I asked, "where I can find rest?" "There are no Paga Taverns in Tharna," said the man, I thought with a trace of amusement. |
8 |
| 9 | 49 |
"Where can I spend the night?" I asked. |
8 |
| 9 | 53 |
"How many hours, Warrior," asked he, "have you been within the walls of Tharna?" "At the sixth hour I came to Tharna," I said. |
8 |
| 9 | 55 |
"What do you mean?" I asked. |
8 |
| 9 | 80 |
"What is your business?" asked the proprietor of the place, a small, thin, bald-headed man wearing a short-sleeved gray tunic and slick black apron. |
8 |
| 9 | 123 |
"Do we not speak the Language?" I asked, referring to the beautiful mother tongue spoken in common by most of the Gorean cities. |
8 |
| 9 | 139 |
"Those creatures that float in the street behind masks of silver," I asked, "are they truly women?" "Truly," said one of the men, restraining a laugh. |
8 |
| 9 | 145 |
"Where are you from?" asked one eagerly. |
8 |
| 10 | 8 |
"Are you a warrior?" asked the guardsman. |
8 |
| 10 | 10 |
"Have I your word that you will accompany me peaceably to the palace of the Tatrix?" asked the guardsman. |
8 |
| 11 | 45 |
"Is it thus, Stranger," she asked, her tones cold, "that you expected to carry from the city the wealth of Tharna?" I was puzzled, my body was racked with pain, my vision was blurred with sweat. |
8 |
| 11 | 54 |
"Does the law of Tharna not give it the right to speak, Dorna the Proud, Second in Tharna?" asked the Tatrix, whose voice, too, was imperious and cold, yet pleased me more than the tones of she who wore the silver mask. |
8 |
| 11 | 55 |
"Does the law recognize beasts?" asked the woman whose name was Dorna the Proud. |
8 |
| 11 | 59 |
"Has he still his tongue?" asked the Tatrix of the man with the wrist straps, who stood behind me. |
8 |
| 11 | 66 |
"Why did you not kneel, Stranger?" asked the Tatrix of Tharna. |
8 |
| 11 | 71 |
"Do you give orders to she who is First in Tharna?" asked the Tatrix. |
8 |
| 11 | 119 |
"Yet he is a fine beast, is he not?" asked one of the silver-masked women. |
8 |
| 11 | 122 |
"How is it," I asked, "that you spare a warrior the whip and would use it on so miserable a wretch as Ost?" "I had hoped you guiltless, Stranger," said she. |
8 |
| 11 | 129 |
"Of what?" I asked to know. |
8 |
| 11 | 137 |
"Has he confessed these things as well?" asked Lara. |
8 |
| 11 | 141 |
"Who, Serpent," asked the Tatrix, "supplied the gold? From whom came the letters of instruction?" "I do not know, Beloved Tatrix," whined Ost. |
8 |
| 11 | 146 |
"What more do you know of this plot against the throne?" asked Lara of the sniveling Ost. |
8 |
| 11 | 161 |
"What more then do you know, Serpent?" she asked the miserable conspirator. |
8 |
| 11 | 171 |
"What think you, Dorna the Proud?" asked Lara of she who was Second in Tharna. |
8 |
| 11 | 182 |
"And did he accept them?" she asked. |
8 |
| 11 | 197 |
"How is it that Ost gave you the coins, Warrior?" asked the Tatrix. |
8 |
| 11 | 229 |
"So few coins?" I asked skeptically. |
8 |
| 11 | 235 |
"What full sum did Ost offer you?" she asked. |
8 |
| 11 | 242 |
"Then what?" she asked. |
8 |
| 12 | 50 |
"What is your crime?" I asked. |
8 |
| 12 | 52 |
"You conspired against the throne?" I asked. |
8 |
| 12 | 98 |
"What is the significance of that?" I asked, for I had heard something of the sort before. |
8 |
| 12 | 100 |
"Why are strangers not warned of this," I asked, "when they enter the gates?" "That would be foolish indeed, would it not?" laughed the girl. |
8 |
| 12 | 105 |
"Then what did he do?" I asked. |
8 |
| 12 | 121 |
"What happened to the man?" I asked. |
8 |
| 12 | 125 |
"What did you do?" I asked. |
8 |
| 12 | 130 |
"Why?" she asked. |
8 |
| 12 | 132 |
"Is love not a crime?" she asked. |
8 |
| 12 | 136 |
"What of Andreas?" I asked. |
8 |
| 12 | 141 |
"Do you believe that?" I asked. |
8 |
| 12 | 147 |
"So you think he will fear to enter the city?" I asked. |
8 |
| 13 | 16 |
"Why do you not kneel?" I asked. |
8 |
| 13 | 17 |
"Do you think that only warriors are brave?" he asked. |
8 |
| 13 | 63 |
"What if it does?" I asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 66 |
"Are you hurt?" I asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 88 |
"Why did the tarn not kill you in the arena?" she asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 93 |
"When will it return?" she asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 104 |
"If it doesn't find game," she asked, "are you going to give me to the tarn?" "Yes," I said. |
8 |
| 15 | 116 |
"Do I amuse you?" she asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 118 |
"I am your prisoner, am I not?" she asked, insolently. |
8 |
| 15 | 120 |
"What are you going to do with me?" she asked, her face to the wall, not deigning to look upon me. |
8 |
| 15 | 150 |
"Why not?" I asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 158 |
"Would you truly," she asked, her voice faltering, "put me up for sale?" I looked at her without answering. |
8 |
| 15 | 173 |
"You would do this to me?" she asked, her voice a frightened whisper. |
8 |
| 15 | 212 |
"Can I trust you?" I asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 251 |
"What is that?" I asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 255 |
"Waiting?" I asked. |
8 |
| 16 | 12 |
"Is it customary," I asked the Tatrix, "for warriors to carry weapons to the Pillar of Exchanges?" "There will be no treachery," said the Tatrix. |
8 |
| 16 | 38 |
"Is that all?" asked Dorna the Proud, puzzled. |
8 |
| 16 | 53 |
"Are my terms satisfactory to you?" asked the Tatrix, rather condescendingly, I thought. |
8 |
| 16 | 111 |
"Why," she asked them, "are there so few of my soldiers here?" "We are enough," said Thorn. |
8 |
| 16 | 121 |
"Why not?" she asked. |
8 |
| 17 | 59 |
"Where is Linna?" I asked Andreas. |
8 |
| 18 | 13 |
"Who is the new Tatrix?" I asked. |
8 |
| 18 | 15 |
"What happened to Lara?" I asked. |
8 |
| 18 | 22 |
"What is his name?" I asked. |
8 |
| 18 | 33 |
"What of the Pillar of Exchanges?" I asked. |
8 |
| 18 | 37 |
"She was not exchanged?" I asked the slave with the food tub. |
8 |
| 18 | 44 |
"What," I asked, "do you surmise to be the fate of Lara, who was Tatrix?" The slave laughed, and so, too, did some of the others. |
8 |
| 18 | 72 |
"Who among you," I asked, "would be free?" "I," said Andreas of Tor. |
8 |
| 18 | 128 |
"How?" he asked, bewildered. |
8 |
| 19 | 10 |
"Is Ost of the chain?" asked Kron. |
8 |
| 19 | 91 |
"Is this the will of the Priest-Kings?" asked a voice. |
8 |
| 19 | 116 |
"And where are you off to?" asked Andreas lightly. |
8 |
| 21 | 53 |
"Perhaps you want to buy her?" asked the man. |
8 |
| 21 | 126 |
"Why not?" asked the man. |
8 |
| 21 | 148 |
"But why?" he asked. |
8 |
| 21 | 173 |
"Shall I call the guardsmen?" he asked. |
8 |
| 21 | 212 |
"Four—" "May I see the scabbard, Warrior?" he asked. |
8 |
| 21 | 231 |
And as I paused before each beauty in that chain and met her eyes and heard her words, "Buy Me, Master," I asked myself why I should not buy her, why I should not free her instead of the other girl. |
8 |

"Can you guess," asked Sarm, "which one has been synthesized?" I must have given quite a start. |
8 |

"What of the other?" I asked. |
8 |

"Who is she?" I asked. |

"Is it always five record-scars for such an offense?" I asked. |
8 |

"Is it not possible," I asked, "that Sarm wished you to die by the Golden Beetle?" "Of course," said Misk. |

"Is it a mutation?" I asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 58 |
"Then what is it?" I asked. |
8 |

"Aren't you a male?" I asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 69 |
"How long," I asked, "does a Priest-King live?" "Long ago," said Misk, "Priest-Kings discovered the secrets of cell replacement without pattern deterioration, and accordingly, unless we meet with injury or accident, we will live until we are found by the Golden Beetle". |
8 |
| 15 | 70 |
"How old are you?" I asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 79 |
"Why do you not slay the Golden Beetles?" I asked. |

"Would Sarm have this male killed if he knew he were here?" I asked. |

"Why?" I asked. |
8 |

"What are you doing to him?" I asked. |

"Who decides what he learns?" I asked. |
8 |

"And what do you do in the meantime?" I asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 128 |
"Do Priest-Kings believe in a life after death?" I asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 138 |
"Will he remember learning these things?" I asked. |
8 |
| 15 | 140 |
"What is he being taught?" I asked. |

"But what if the mnemonic disks contain some false information?" I asked. |

"Why when first I came to Gor, more than seven years ago, did you not do this?" I asked. |
8 |

"And the siege of Ar," I asked, "and the Empire of Marlenus?" "They provided a suitable test," said Misk. |
8 |
| 16 | 39 |
"What is that?" I asked. |
8 |
| 16 | 51 |
"Which will you do?" I asked. |
8 |

"But if it was not?" I asked. |
8 |
| 16 | 124 |
"Why did she not remain on Gor?" I asked. |
8 |
| 16 | 125 |
"It frightened her," said Misk, "and your father asked that she be allowed to return to Earth, for, loving her, he wished her to be happy and also perhaps he wanted you to know something of his old world". |
8 |
