10 |

Draft tarns are usually controlled from the basket. |
10 |

Might that not be a disguise for roving tarnsmen, who might then jettison the baskets and wing their way free to whatever mischief they might portend? "Untie the slave," Portus called to Selius, "and put her in the last basket". |

10 |

As Ellen's basket began to move suddenly, she was almost flung from her feet. |
10 |
| 19 | 576 |
Then the basket, so suddenly it seemed, dropped away from the platform. |
10 |

Then the basket swung on its ropes. |
10 |
| 19 | 587 |
It was not easy to stand in the basket, it swinging so. |
10 |

It would be quite unpleasant, she supposed, to be bound naked, hand and foot, in such a conveyance, one's ankles perhaps lashed closely to one's wrists, a simple, popular, but extraordinarily effective and secure slave tie, and kept in the basket in one way or another, perhaps by a secured lid, or p... |

Now, she thought, delightedly, I am again my own woman! And then, in the wind and the swaying of the basket, she laughed aloud. |
10 |
| 19 | 694 |
She then sat in the basket, and tried to pull the slit sides of the tunic more about her. |
10 |
| 19 | 716 |
She feared it might have been drugged, presumably with tasteless tassa powder, to sedate her in the basket, but it had no such effect. |

10 |

When the tarns in the progress of Tersius Major had come to the ground, Fel Doron, already landed, came to the last of the seven baskets, and lifted Ellen from the basket. |
10 |

And it is difficult to leave such a basket in a tunic without presenting yourself as a spread slave. |
10 |

She gritted her teeth, and clutched the wicker of the basket, holding to it in desperation. |
10 |
| 20 | 258 |
It seemed that there was, incredibly, a light in the third basket, that of Tersius Major, a sheltered lantern, swinging. |
10 |
| 20 | 265 |
Certainly there had been no doubt about the lantern in the third basket. |
10 |
| 20 | 270 |
How then could he signal them? Then, to her amazement, she sensed that something was very different in the tarn train, and realized, with a start, that the line connecting the tarn and basket of Tersius Major and the following tarns and baskets was free, perhaps cut. |
10 |
| 20 | 275 |
What is going on, cried Ellen to herself, clutching the sides of the basket. |
10 |
| 20 | 276 |
The tarn and basket of Tersius Major was streaming to the right. |
10 |
| 20 | 277 |
The train in which her basket formed a part departed, too, from the line of flight, also bending to the right, but then, in a few Ihn, it turned back and began to circle about. |
10 |
| 20 | 293 |
Two tarnsmen of the flighted squad wheeled from their formation, and began to approach the loose, leaderless line of six tarns, which had been the fourth through the ninth tarns in the original train, the fourth through the seventh with baskets, Ellen in the last basket, that carried by the seventh ... |

Ellen crouched down in the basket, and pulled the blanket about her, concealing herself as well as she could, crouching below the side, covered with the dark blanket, and peered out through the wicker. |
10 |
| 20 | 301 |
Moving in the basket, facing forward, peering again through the wicker, she saw the first tarnsman who had approached the train swoop beneath it, beat his way forward, and then seize the long rope dangling better than a hundred feet from the harness of the first tarn, that which had been the fourth ... |
10 |

She crouched down in the basket, and grasped the metal tag wired to her collar. |
10 |

She clutched the blanket about her, angrily, crouching in her tiny tunic in the swaying basket. |
10 |
| 20 | 373 |
Ellen's basket swung wildly on its ropes, and she clung to the wicker with all her strength. |
10 |
| 20 | 377 |
Another tarn, wheeling about, struck Ellen's basket and she was nearly thrown from it. |
10 |
| 20 | 378 |
One side of the basket was ripped open. |
10 |
| 20 | 379 |
The basket began to jerk in flight, and then it was held by only three ropes, as one of the anchoring ropes slipped loose, off the torn wicker. |
10 |
| 20 | 383 |
Ellen cowered back, as pieces of the basket were torn away, flung out into the water, the wicked, bright eyes of the bird near her, not a yard away, the beak slashing at the wicker. |
10 |
| 20 | 387 |
She clung to the basket, terrified. |
10 |

Ellen stirred, awakening, on her stomach, lying in the mud, half in the water, amongst the reeds, clinging still to the wreckage of her basket. |

And the same bells which serve so well to draw attention to a lovely, demurely tunicked slave in the sul market, her shopping basket balanced with one hand on her head, serve as well, doubtless, to record in their jangling her leapings and squirmings in the arms of her master. |

10 |
