19	103	I looked down at the block bitterly, not speaking.	10
19	111	A number of Musicians now filed out from the door at the foot of the block and took their places about it, sitting cross-legged on the floor.	10
19	122	Among the crowd, though it was predominantly male, there were, as I might have mentioned, several women, perhaps one in ten or fifteen; many of these were doubtless rich, and of High Caste; some of them were probably interested in picking up a serving slave; kettle wenches, so to speak, would probab...	10
19	123	Then the crowd stilled and the Musicians, too, were silent, as the energy lights in the amphitheater dimmed and went out, and another set of energy bulbs, to a pleased shout of the crowd, suddenly lit the block with a blaze of light.	10
19	124	The block, in the light, looked very stark and massive.	10
19	126	I wondered how much the girls would be able to see from the block.	10
19	130	Once Elizabeth had told me that Sura had informed them that they would, after a time, be able to see faces from the block.	10
19	133	A girl, wild, clad only in a brief tunic of gray toweling, as though fleeing, ran to the surface of the block, weeping, circling it, her hands outstretched to the crowd; this was done to the music of the Musicians; she turned this way and that, acting the frantic role of the fleeing slave girl.	10
19	135	Then the auctioneer briefly and expertly displayed the girl, with deft touches of the wandlike slave goad, and began, simultaneously, to raise the first block calls.	10
19	144	They were driven up the steps by a whip slave and forced to kneel at the center of the block.	10
19	151	She did nothing to move the buyers but stood, head down, numb on the block until she was completely revealed.	10
19	167	Occasionally, during the evening, the auctioneer had dropped certain disparaging remarks about barbarians, comparing some of the beauties on the block to such.	10
19	178	The crowd was taken aback, for such a wench would scarcely be presented on the meanest block of the smallest market in the city.	10
19	195	The auctioneer, as though in the throes of misery, almost threw the poor girl back down the stairs of the block, kicking her bit of dark blanket angrily after her.	10
19	198	"Barbarians are nothing!" The auctioneer conferred with a market official, who kept lists of lot numbers and confirmed the bids and final sale with the buyers or their agents at the side of the block.	10
19	199	The auctioneer looked dejected when he returned to the center of the block.	10
19	209	Then, after a moment, the great block, and that alone, was again illumined with a blaze of light.	10
19	212	The auctioneer sprang to the block and, from the darkness at the foot of the steps, was hurled a chain leash, and then two more.	10
19	216	Then, regally, in black cloaks, with hoods, three women, two girls and their leader, climbed the stairs to the block, backs straight, heads high, their features concealed in the folds of the hood.	10
19	221	They stood near the center of the block, their leashes in the hands of the auctioneer.	10
19	225	He then summoned three whip slaves to the block, and each held the chain of one of the girls.	10
19	226	At the auctioneer's command the slaves led the girls about the block, and then brought them again to its shining, shallowly concave center.	10
19	250	"I wonder," he said, "how she will feel when she learns she has been truly sold?" "Put a sword in my hand," said I, "and face me!" Cernus laughed and turned his attention again to the block.	10
19	251	As the auctioneer reached for the hood of the third girl, she turned away and suddenly, though chained by the wrists, darted toward the stairs; the slack in the chain was taken up in her flight and, on the second or third stair down, she was spun about and thrown to the steps, half on them, half on ...	10
19	252	The whip slave who held her chain then hauled her cruelly, on her stomach, and then on her back, to the center of the block.	10
19	253	There the whip slave stepped on the chain fastened to her slave bracelets about six inches from the bracelets, pinning her wrists to the block.	10
19	263	The light over the block took the glint of the tiny, fine nose ring in the nose of Elizabeth Cardwell.	10
19	273	The three girls then stood rather together, Elizabeth somewhat forward, the other two a bit behind and flanking her; then they were led on their chains again about the block.	10
19	275	Then the girls were spaced on the block, Elizabeth toward the front and middle, and Virginia and Phyllis on alternate sides.	10
19	287	Again the girls were commanded to walk about the block, and they did so, proudly, irritably, as though wishing to express only contempt for what they seemed to regard as the rabble about them.	10
19	289	The three whip slaves then again climbed to the block.	10
19	297	The auctioneer then signaled the whip slaves and the girls rotated their position, bringing Phyllis to the front of the block.	10
19	300	Then the girls rotated again and this time Elizabeth stood at the center of the block.	10
19	323	"Is not Samos," he asked, "First Slaver of Port Kar with us this evening?" All eyes turned to one of the boxes near the front of the block.	10
19	337	This was done and the three whip slaves retired, taking with them the bracelets which had confined the lovely commodities that now graced the block of Ar.	10
19	339	The girls stood in the light, lifting their heads to the crowd, nude and proud on the block, in the wild shouting and stamping and crying out, and knew themselves beautiful and prized.	10
19	353	In the crowd men cried out with pleasure; I heard even gasps from women, perhaps amazingly, startled that their sex was capable of such beauty; the eyes of some of the women shone with ill-concealed admiration and excitement; I could mark the quickness of their breath in their veils; the eyes of oth...	10
19	355	Then they, breathing deeply, stained with sweat, stepped back on the block, and the auctioneer stepped forward.	10
19	371	I would not admit to myself, even in speculation, that such a fate might befall the helpless prizes now upon the block of Ar, years of miserable, unrelieved servitude, to live at the beck and call of masters among the most cruel of Gor, existing only to give pleasure to one to whom they would be alw...	10
19	383	Suddenly, to my horror, Elizabeth strode forth to the front of the block.	10
19	407	Then Elizabeth herself strode to the front of the block.	10
19	425	Elizabeth backed to the other girls and took each by an arm, and together they came to the front of the block.	10
19	441	"It is bid," said the man, "by Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar, for the wenches now on the block three thousand pieces of gold".	10
19	452	The girls were now on their feet and whip slaves were braceleting their wrists before their bodies and attaching the lead chains to the bracelets, preparing to conduct the purchased merchandise from the block.	10
19	459	When they had turned and were being led from the block by the whip slaves who held their leashes, Cernus spoke to two of the guards behind me.	10
19	462	"Behold an enemy of Cernus!" cried Philemon to the block.	10
19	473	I heard the sound of a slave whip below the block, the hysterical, wild sobbing and screaming of a slave girl.	10
19	484	I knew that behind me, on the block, there would be a new lot for sale, more to please the buyers of Ar.	10
22	427	I was certain their riders had had orders from the box of Cernus to see that I did not win; it would be difficult for a single tarn to block a ring, but two together might well manage; further, in not taking the lead immediately, which I believe I could have done, I hoped to postpone the entry into ...	10
22	431	To the crowd's astonishment, but not to mine, he wheeled his tarn, a rare, gloriously plumaged jungle tarn from the tropical reaches of the Cartius, to block the first of the right center rings.	10
22	479	Trying to block in the wrong position he nearly hit the top of the edged ring and the startled bird was carried far out of the ring track and had to wheel to reenter the track.	10
22	490	Then, to my horror, I saw that both the rider for the Reds and he for the Greens had wheeled their tarns and stood ready at the left center ring to block my passage.	10

9	925	There are many beauties, many of them even formerly free, who find themselves upon the block these days, being sold for a pittance of tarsks".	10
12	664	Such girls must be regarded as quite valuable; on the block they commonly bring the highest prices.	10
13	3	"Ascend the block, Slave Girl," said the man.	10
13	7	I glanced down at the other girls, Sulda and Tupa among them, who sat huddled at the foot of the block, clutching their sheets about them.	10
13	13	There were twenty steps to the height of the block.	10
13	50	I looked to the height of the block.	10
13	108	"Ascend the block," said he, "Slave".	10
13	115	"Girl 128," called the auctioneer, from the height of the block.	10
13	118	The auctioneer came to the edge of the block.	10
13	125	I lifted my hand to him, and he took me by the hand, helping me to the height of the block.	10
13	126	The block was circular, and some twenty feet in diameter.	10
13	128	By the hand he led me to the center of the block.	10
13	144	Her block measurements, certified, are 22 horts, 16 horts, 22 horts.	10
13	152	As I lay, lashed, quivering, in misery, on the surface of the block, I realized that that seemingly insignificant little fact, the piercing of the ears, had indeed, as I had been informed, a most significant import on Gor.	10
13	161	A woman may wear earrings on the block early in the sale, or even ornate, expensive garments and veils, if one wishes, but before the conclusion of the sale she will be absolutely naked, that the buyers may see her without adornments, without the least enhancement, that they will see her then as she...	10
13	193	These were my block measurements.	10
13	238	Men cried out with pleasure at the displayed girl upon the block.	10
13	245	I stopped, and stood on the block, my head high.	10

13	290	Then he began to put me rapidly through the paces of the exhibited female slave; he held me in each position for the sweet instant that well revealed me, tantalizingly, in that attitude or posture, and then barked forth a new command, to a new position or attitude; the sequence of these moves was no...	10
13	295	My tears stained the block.	10
13	307	I knelt on the block, near its front, miserable, in the position of the pleasure slave, the light chain and sales disk on my throat.	10
13	332	"It is all right, little Dina," he said, with surprising pleasantness, considering how harshly he had managed me upon the block.	10
13	341	"Now, on your feet, little beauty," he said, "and hurry from the block, for we have more animals to sell".	10
13	365	I fell to my knees before him on the block.	10
13	378	He had exacted from the crowd the highest possible price in the given market before he revealed, unexpectedly and to her dismay, the delicious richness and vulnerability of the girl's exploitable latencies, they as much a part of her as her block measurements, and as much for sale.	10
13	386	On the block I sobbed, kneeling.	10
13	412	Before they had only looked upon me as merely another girl slave, to be sold from the block in her turn for a handful of copper tarsks.	10
13	415	Were they jealous? Did they resent the interest of men? Did they wish that it was they upon the block? I did not know.	10
13	439	How amused she would be, I thought, to see me being sold naked from a block.	10
13	442	He then thrust me toward the stairs and I, stumbling, descended the stairs, on the side opposite from that from which I had ascended the block.	10
13	444	At the foot of the block a man from the house took me by the wrist and pulled me to a chain.	10
13	446	He thrust me behind the last girl on the chain; she was kneeling, braceleted to the chain, facing away from me; her head was down; I wondered if she had been sold before; I did not speak to speak to her, of course; nor did I want to speak to her; what was there to say; and I was miserable; and, too,...	10

15	177	"I saw you on the block," she said.	10
22	343	"Nonetheless, Mistress, you would be stripped, as clearly and completely stripped as perhaps that which you most despise, say, a vended slave, a property girl on a sales block.	10
24	76	Too, of course, though these things are trivial compared to the emotional transformation wrought by bondage, the slave can always be trimmed, if one wishes, by diet and exercise; or fattened a little, if that is wished, to bring her to more appealing block measurements; be taught that a slatternly a...	10
26	94	I had no doubt that Elicia Nevins, on the block, naked, under the auctioneer's whip, would sell for at least a piece of gold.	10
28	8	You feel the wood of the block with your feet, and the sawdust upon it.	10
28	9	The block itself is smooth.	10
28	33	Its great block is perhaps the most famous in Ar.	10
28	38	An interesting feature of the block is that about it, on the semicircular side, facing the crowd, tall and serene, carved in white-painted wood, evenly spaced, are the figures of nine slave girls.	10
28	45	We were in the tunnel leading to the block.	10
28	46	Another tunnel left the block.	10
28	50	Little occurs by accident on the block of the Curulean.	10
28	56	He then went to the next girl in the line, farthest from the block.	10
28	81	But I knew the first girl had now ascended the block.	10
28	84	It was set against the right side of the tunnel, as one would look toward the opening at the foot of the block.	10
28	87	Thus, if a lash is used, the girl will be more conveniently directed toward the end of the tunnel near the foot of the block, toward her sale, rather than away from it.	10
28	97	When the crowd, fierce in its impatience, demanded it, he would, shrugging, roll me free of them, in two turns, I finishing, lying on my back again, knee lifted, hands over and behind my head, the backs of my hands on the block, the palms exposed, like the rest of me, helplessly.	10
28	125	For one thing, it meant that the auctioneer would be in a good humor and that, thus, he would probably be less cruel with us on the block.	10
28	127	On the block he is our master.	10
28	144	"Save your tears for the block, sleek little animal," he said.	10
28	165	If a Ubara of a conquered city, for example, were to be sold, it would, customarily, be in such a special sale, unless the victorious Ubar, he who had conquered her city and captured her, chose to have her sold, for his amusement, in a common sale and from an unimportant block.	10
28	180	The effect of this, being for a time relatively at ease, and then being forced suddenly to move ten times closer to the block tends, suddenly, to whet one's fears and anticipations anew; when one, psychologically, in spite of herself, had begun to feel a little safe one is suddenly hurried even clos...	10
28	196	I heard a roar of approval and I knew the girl on the block had been sold.	10
28	197	Another girl, Girl 89, had been waiting at the foot of the block.	10
28	202	The man with the tablet quickly thrust the girl in the house tunic from the tunnel to the foot of the stairs leading to the block.	10
28	215	The girl on the block, naked, was being forced to perform blindfolded before the men.	10
28	218	The girl in the house tunic was hurried to the height of the block.	10
28	223	He did not order me immediately to the foot of the stairs, those leading to the surface of the great block at the Curulean.	10
28	233	I heard the tunic torn from the girl on the block, the roar of the crowd.	10
28	235	The man with the tablet thrust me toward the foot of the block, and I stumbled to the place at the foot of its stairs.	10
28	239	The girl in the house tunic, seemingly not yet broken in, not yet humbled and trained to the collar of pleasure, might have whetted the appetite of the buyers for an even more virginal, innocent form of merchandise, but, on the block, as I gathered from the remarks of the auctioneer and the response...	10
28	241	I climbed to the height of the block.	10
28	242	The block was very large.	10
28	278	It interacts in the drama of the block in a way that it, or many of its members, fails to understand.	10
28	297	In moments he stood, too, on the block, facing the crowd.	10
28	343	I heard a pouch, heavy, filled with metal, strike heavily on the smoothed beams of the surface of the block.	10
28	349	I cried, tears falling to the wood of the block, mixing in the sawdust.	10
28	366	The virginal girl, slender, sweetly shouldered, lovely legged, terrified, crept to the surface of the block.	10
28	370	The crowd roared its approval, and she shrank back on the block.	10
28	380	It floated to the surface of the block, stirring in the slight movements of air.	10
28	423	"Put me at a post, Master!" I lay on the block on my stomach, my hands over my head.	10
28	427	I cried, lying on the block, punished.	10
28	451	He lifted his shield and took up his spear, and then descended the steps of the great block.	10

8	103	The auburn-haired girl, cooperatingly and without the least resistance, assumed various postures and attitudes, following the indications of the various men about her block.	10
8	105	She knelt now on the block, back on her heels, her knees spread, her back straight, her head back, her hands behind the back of her head.	10
8	109	"We are ready for the final auction of the evening!" This announcement was greeted with a murmur of interest and the men in the hall began to move toward the front of the room, to the vicinity of the central block.	10
8	110	It was near the central block that the fully clothed, apparently lovely young woman was strung up by the wrists.	10
8	121	She squirmed a moment in the bonds, and then hung still, near the central block.	10
8	125	The side blocks were now deserted, the men having drifted forward, except by their occupants, now forgotten, kneeling or crouching upon them, their necks in their collars, fastened by their chains to the block rings.	10
8	369	"Were you a side-block girl?" asked Ginger.	10
8	404	Three men were now climbing carefully to the height of the central block.	10
8	415	The attendant then carried the girl, the rope trailing beside him, to the height of the central block.	10
8	420	The fellow who had brought the brazier to the height of the block now drew forth from it, holding it with two gloves, an iron.	10
8	431	The rack and the brazier, the iron returned to it, were removed from the central block.	10
8	460	He then, following the instructions of the fellow, sat the girl down, near the front of the central block, her left leg under her, her right leg extended and flexed, her right side facing the fellow, her shoulders back, her head turned sharply to look at him.	10
8	464	The auctioneer then knelt the girl near the front of the central block.	10
8	504	I gave my attention again to the central block.	10
8	519	No!" Then he released her, and she fell to her knees on the block, sobbing, crimson with shame.	10
8	695	"You speak English," cried the girl on the side block, the collar and chain on her throat, "what is this place and how did I come here!" "This is the world called Gor," said Ginger, "and you were brought here by spacecraft".	10
8	702	The girl clutched the chain, kneeling on the block.	10
8	736	There was the sudden lash of the five-stranded Gorean slave whip and the girl cried out and sank down on the block, kneeling, with her head down, making herself as small as possible.	10
8	738	Then she lay on her stomach on the block, sobbing, the collar and chain on her neck, her fingernails tight in the wood.	10
8	748	She sobbed, and whimpered, on her belly, chained, on the block.	10
8	758	"Miss, oh, please, Miss!" called the red-haired girl, plaintively, on her knees, stripped, her hands tied behind her with the cord, from the central block.	10
8	802	Then she lay quietly, scarcely moving, beaten, frightened, on the block.	10
8	829	The fellow in the broad-brimmed hat then pointed to the girl on the central block.	10
8	836	Further, there was no doubt that the girl on the block was a beauty.	10
8	865	"Deliver her to the holding area," said the auctioneer, addressing himself to an attendant near the foot of the block.	10
8	866	The fellow, then, climbed to the height of the block.	10
8	870	She was conducted from the surface of the block.	10
8	875	In a lesser house any one of them would doubtless be worthy the central block.	10
8	882	Several went toward the block of the girl with whom Ginger had spoken.	10
8	1032	Should she not have remembered to have placed them in that position? Or had she hoped that that soft, inviting, exposing and vulnerable attitude might have been idiosyncratic to the sales block? Clearly it was not.	10
11	143	Did I not see you squirm on the auction block?" The red-haired girl hid her face in her hands.	10
13	81	I think that I had suspected these latencies in her even from the time I first saw her, suspended by the wrists, fully clothed, near the central block in the compound of the slaver in Kailiauk, Ram Seibar.	10

27	56	The slave block, on the other hand, is normally about a yard to five feet high, and is designed to raise the girls above the crowd, so that they may be more easily seen by the bidders.	10
