Nela, like most of the others at the baths, could talk of little but the startling disappearance, and presumed abduction, of Claudia Tentia Hinrabia, the proud, spoiled daughter of the Administrator of the City. |
10 |
| 13 | 13 |
I supposed it quite probable that Claudia Hinrabia had been abducted, though it would not be the only possible explanation for her absence. |
10 |
| 13 | 15 |
But I suspected that the lofty Claudia Hinrabia, of the Hinrabians, would not dance in pleasure silk at a Collaring Feast. |
10 |
| 13 | 134 |
"I hope," said Nela, kneading my flesh rather harder than was necessary, "Claudia Tentia Hinrabia is made a slave". |
10 |
| 14 | 210 |
"She is, of course," said Cernus, "Claudia Tentia Hinrabia". |
10 |
| 15 | 114 |
Claudia Tentia Hinrabia, though she had now been gone months from the House, had been kept for better than two months in the cell for Special Captures. |
10 |
| 15 | 121 |
Four times Claudia Tentia Hinrabia had attempted to kill one of the girls but the others would easily overpower her; and the Hinrabian must endure her bath and her perfuming; when finished the girls would lock her raiment in a chest and then draw a slave hood over her head, locking it in place, and ... |

On the first day of En'Kara much of the old year had been forgotten, but there were three who could not forget it; Portus, who lay chained in the dungeons of the Central Cylinder; Claudia Tentia Hinrabia, now free, but who had endured the shame of slavery, and would perhaps never again permit hersel... |
10 |

Strangely, with perhaps one exception, each of the Hinrabians had had his throat cut, even the women; this was unusual, for the women of a captive caravan, regarded as portions of its booty, are almost always enslaved; the one Hinrabian whose body was not found among the dead, scattered on the plain... |
10 |
| 20 | 42 |
The only body not recovered had been that of Claudia Tentia Hinrabia, who had been originally the unfortunate victim of the intrigues of Cernus, the means whereby was brought about the downfall of the house of Portus. |
10 |
| 20 | 48 |
I gasped, for it was Claudia Tentia Hinrabia, once the spoiled daughter of a Ubar of Ar, now a rightless wench in bondage, not unlike thousands of others in Glorious Ar. |
10 |
| 20 | 51 |
"You are the slave girl Claudia?" asked Cernus. |
10 |
| 20 | 58 |
"It is said you claim to be Claudia Tentia Hinrabia," said Cernus. |
10 |
| 20 | 72 |
"I am of Ar! I am of Ar! I am Claudia Tentia Hinrabia of Ar! Free me, Master!" "Do you know me?" asked Cernus. |
10 |
| 20 | 77 |
"I am Claudia Tentia Hinrabia," she said, "of Ar!" "You are a slave girl," said Cernus. |
10 |
| 20 | 115 |
"We have another surprise for you, my dear Claudia," said Cernus. |
10 |
| 20 | 118 |
"Claudia Tentia Hinrabia," said Cernus to those assembled, while he quaffed yet another goblet of Ka-la-na, "is well known throughout Ar as a most strict and demanding mistress. |
10 |
| 20 | 121 |
Claudia was held on her knees by two guards, her arms and wrists tied tightly behind her. |
10 |
| 20 | 127 |
Claudia Tentia Hinrabia, in her bonds, seemed frozen, horror-stricken, unable to move. |
10 |
| 20 | 132 |
When the girl entered the room Claudia was turned by her guards, still on her knees, bound, to face her. |
10 |
| 20 | 134 |
Claudia's eyes regarded her, wide with horror. |
10 |
| 20 | 137 |
"Melanie," said Cernus, "do you know this slave?" "She is Claudia Tentia Hinrabia," whispered the girl. |
10 |
| 20 | 151 |
She took Claudia's hair in her left hand and held the razor-sharp hook knife at her face. |
10 |
| 20 | 159 |
Claudia Tentia Hinrabia collapsed weeping at the feet of the guards. |
10 |
| 20 | 165 |
Slave bracelets were snapped on the wrists of Melanie and she and her weeping, stumbling former mistress, the helpless, bound Claudia Tentia Hinrabia, were conducted from the hall. |
10 |
| 20 | 170 |
She turned and smiled, and then, with Claudia Tentia Hinrabia, and their guard, left the room. |
10 |
| 24 | 193 |
"Claudia Tentia Hinrabia," she whispered. |
10 |
| 24 | 224 |
Claudia, weeping, was conducted from the hall. |

I could probably have Claudia Tentia Hinrabia, of the Builders, who had been the daughter of Claudius Tentius Hinrabius, once Ubar of Ar, but she was now without family. |
10 |
| 12 | 94 |
Claudia, as I recalled, with pleasure, was beautiful. |
10 |

But I dismissed Claudia Tentia Hinrabia. |

The girls looked up at me, Tuka, Claudia, Peliope, Leah and Taphris. |

"Tuka," I said, "open the sewing cabinet and replace the scissors on their peg; Claudia, replace the needles in the pin cushion in the cabinet; Peliope, replace the thread spools on the spool spindles in the cabinet; Leah, fold the girth cloths; Taphris, place the girth cloths on the table near the ... |

Angry, I went then to Claudia and locked her chain on her collar. |

The lead girl, Claudia, was now shackled. |

Why could he not have wanted Claudia, or Crystal, or one of the other girls? He was the guest of honor at this feast, a feast held by Eito, an Oriental, a member of the caste of merchants, a citizen of Ar, a dealer in salt, one with connections with some of the towns near the Tahari. |

Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus "Why are you fearful?" asked Claudia. |
10 |

"There is a crowd with them," said Claudia, excited. |
10 |

"No!" Claudia looked at me, puzzled. |
10 |

"What is wrong with you?" asked Claudia. |

Claudia, Crystal and Tupa were looking down the street. |

"Tiffany!" I heard Claudia call, from behind me. |

"What are you doing here, Tiffany?" asked Claudia. |
10 |
| 30 | 396 |
"Come along!" cried Claudia. |
10 |
| 30 | 397 |
"Hurry!" Shaking, scarcely able to stand, I followed Claudia, and Crystal and Tupa, into the yard. |
10 |
| 30 | 655 |
Outside I found Claudia, Crystal and Tupa. |
10 |

"What did the soldiers want?" asked Claudia. |

"What did they want?" asked Claudia, again. |

"Let us hurry back to the agency," said Claudia. |

"Do you think," I asked Lady Claudia, "that Lady Publia's motivations in the matter of keeping her hair were similar to yours?" "I suppose so," said Lady Claudia, finishing the bit of bread. |
10 |
| 15 | 561 |
"Do you recall," I asked Lady Claudia, "that I earlier suggested that there might be a reason, other than reasons of your sort, for not having her hair cropped?" "Yes," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 579 |
"Does it seem fair to you," I asked Lady Claudia, "that Lady Publia should have such an advantage over the other women of Ar's Station?" "I do not know," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 609 |
"Even shorn as she is," I said to Lady Claudia, "do you not think that Cosians might spare her?" "She is very beautiful," said Lady Claudia, "even shorn as she is. |

"If she is to be me," said Lady Publia, suddenly, frightened, looking at Lady Claudia, wearing her former rags, veil and scarf, "what then is to be my role in this farce?" While we had been talking I had taken the cloth which Lady Claudia had brought from the side earlier, that which she had cut fro... |
10 |
| 16 | 12 |
If Lady Publia heard these tiny noises, and associated them with Lady Claudia, presumably she thought that Lady Claudia was accompanying the executioner to the wall, doubtless as she herself would have. |
10 |
| 16 | 13 |
She had been quite cruel to us, I recalled, as our warder, and had much mocked Lady Claudia in her distress, when Lady Claudia, rather than she, had worn the ropes. |
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 | 1390 |
In this sense, the name 'Claudia' as the name of a free woman is a quite different name from the name 'Claudia' as the name of a slave. |
10 |
| 12 | 87 |
"Claudia, Lady of Ar's Station," she said. |
10 |
| 12 | 271 |
Lady Claudia quickly hurried forward, to kneel a few feet before the door, back from it, thusly, but in easy view from the panel. |
10 |
| 12 | 275 |
"Kneel beside me," begged Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 12 | 279 |
"I see, Lady Claudia," said a woman's voice, from behind the door, amused, "that you will not be so lonely now". |
10 |
| 12 | 280 |
"Glory to Ar!" cried Lady Claudia, frightened. |
10 |
| 12 | 285 |
"Glory to Ar! Glory to Ar! Glory to Ar!" cried Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 12 | 293 |
Lady Claudia went to it and took it back to the right, where she emptied it in a small, shallow cistern in the cell. |
10 |
| 12 | 301 |
Lady Claudia immediately fetched a shallow pan from the side and put it about five feet in front of where she now again knelt. |
10 |
| 12 | 304 |
"You are pretty, naked, Lady Claudia," said the voice. |
10 |
| 12 | 305 |
Lady Claudia choked back a sob. |
10 |
| 12 | 307 |
"Glory to Ar!" cried Lady Claudia, three times. |
10 |
| 12 | 312 |
I quickly, to the consternation of Lady Claudia, moved to the observation panel and looked through it. |
10 |
| 12 | 327 |
"Do not leave your kneeling position at such a time," begged Lady Claudia, tears in her eyes. |
10 |
| 12 | 331 |
Lady Claudia rushed to the pan and placed the meal and bread in the cell's food pan some five feet in front of her and then replaced the delivery pan half under the door. |
10 |
| 12 | 339 |
"Please give us more to eat!" cried Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 12 | 341 |
"Please!" begged Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 12 | 342 |
Lady Claudia, in my opinion, was certainly not fat. |
10 |
| 12 | 345 |
"Please!" said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 12 | 347 |
"The she-sleen!" cried Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 12 | 410 |
To be sure, Lady Claudia would not have had anything since noon, the day before. |
10 |
| 13 | 12 |
Technically, of course, as she was still a free woman, she was still Lady Claudia of Ar's Station. |
10 |
| 13 | 91 |
"You, Claudia, slave girl," she said. |
10 |
| 13 | 96 |
"You are pretty, slave girl," snarled the warder to Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 13 | 97 |
"How natural you look there!" "Yes!" said Lady Claudia to her. |
10 |
| 13 | 99 |
Lady Claudia, of course, was not a slave, not a legal slave, at any rate. |
10 |
| 13 | 105 |
I found it hard to understand the warder's hatred for Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 13 | 107 |
The first time I had used Lady Claudia, the first day I had been in the cell, flinging her to my feet in the straw, I had taken little time with her. |
10 |
| 13 | 121 |
Soon, however, as it became clear that the Lady Claudia was becoming happier, and more fulfilled and more beautiful her attitudes changed, dramatically. |
10 |
| 13 | 123 |
The Lady Claudia, on the other hand, though not even enslaved, did not seem to mind. |
10 |
| 13 | 132 |
Her hostility was clearly directed at the Lady Claudia and not me. |
10 |
| 13 | 133 |
She could not stand it, it seemed, that the Lady Claudia, almost before her eyes, had become beautiful. |
10 |
| 13 | 134 |
I regarded Lady Claudia, the "Chloe" of my uses. |
10 |
| 13 | 139 |
"Yes," said Lady Claudia, softly, humbly, then adding, meaningfully, somewhat maliciously perhaps, for she was still a free woman, "—Mistress". |
10 |
| 13 | 147 |
"Do not think that you can escape punishment by pretending to be a slave!" said the warder to Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 13 | 148 |
"Do not fear, my dear," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 13 | 161 |
Lady Claudia laughed merrily. |
10 |
| 13 | 164 |
You, Lady Claudia, traitress and slut, have been sentenced by Aemilianus. |
10 |
| 13 | 165 |
Tomorrow, at noon, you are to be displayed above the wall, as an act of defiance, impaled!" Lady Claudia turned white. |
10 |
| 13 | 169 |
I caught Lady Claudia, that she not fall. |
10 |
| 14 | 7 |
"Prisoner Claudia, forward," she had whispered. |
10 |
| 14 | 8 |
Lady Claudia had gone forward to kneel, before the door, dimly illuminated in the tiny bit of light coming through the aperture. |
10 |
| 14 | 12 |
"Glory to Ar," moaned Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 14 | 15 |
This was emptied into the small cistern by Lady Claudia, and the pan returned to the warder. |
10 |
| 14 | 17 |
"I do not think so," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 14 | 19 |
In a moment Lady Claudia knelt behind the cell's food pan, brought forward. |
10 |
| 14 | 21 |
"Glory to Ar," sobbed Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 14 | 22 |
I think that the whispered tones of the warder were motivated primarily by her desire that Lady Claudia obtain her food and finish her feeding before I might awaken. |
10 |
| 14 | 27 |
Lady Claudia was now again kneeling before the cell's food pan, and the head of the warder, again holding the tiny lamp up, reappeared in the observation aperture. |
10 |
| 14 | 29 |
"There is much more food there than usual, and meat!" Lady Claudia looked down at the pan, in the dim light. |
10 |
| 14 | 31 |
Lady Claudia, startled, frightened, did so. |
10 |
| 14 | 32 |
"There now," said the warder, amusement in her voice, "that is like the slave girl you are!" Lady Claudia, interestingly, made no move to draw her knees back together. |
10 |
| 14 | 36 |
"But we will not tell the men, will we?" Lady Claudia said nothing. |
10 |
| 14 | 41 |
Lady Claudia looked at her, doubtless with horror. |
10 |
| 14 | 44 |
Lady Claudia shuddered. |
10 |
| 15 | 2 |
He beckoned, coaxingly, to Lady Claudia, who was still near the outside wall, crouching there now, in the straw, numb with fear. |
10 |
| 15 | 14 |
Hurry!" "Come here," said the fellow to Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 16 |
"Please!" begged Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 21 |
Rather, angrily, summoning up his courage, he went quickly to the Lady Claudia, seized her by the scrub of her hair and drew her, she half crawling, half being dragged, to the center of the cell, and knelt her there, in the position he had specified. |
10 |
| 15 | 23 |
Did the fellow not know the Lady Claudia was a free woman? It seemed to me he handled her rather roughly, given that she was free. |
10 |
| 15 | 25 |
The rope, then, in coil after coil, was wrapped about the Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 29 |
Lady Claudia winced as the ropes were drawn about her. |
10 |
| 15 | 34 |
Tears ran down Lady Claudia's cheeks. |
10 |
| 15 | 48 |
She then went to stand before Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 49 |
"The spear, my dear Claudia," she said, "is a single piece of solid, polished metal. |
10 |
| 15 | 53 |
Lady Claudia knelt there, with her eyes closed. |
10 |
| 15 | 57 |
"Glory to Ar," wept Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 58 |
"Do you know what we are waiting for?" asked the warder of Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 59 |
"No," whispered Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 69 |
Lady Claudia put down her head. |
10 |
| 15 | 71 |
"Glory to Ar," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 79 |
They were now awaiting the arrival of the executioner, who was to fetch Lady Claudia to the spear. |
10 |
| 15 | 100 |
"He is very skilled at his work," said the warder to Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 102 |
Lady Claudia kept her eyes closed, and she shuddered. |
10 |
| 15 | 104 |
Lady Claudia sobbed. |
10 |
| 15 | 107 |
He will be here soon! You will then be taken to the spear! You do not have long to wait! You will look amusing, wriggling on it! Glory to Ar! Glory to Ar!" "Glory to Ar!" wept Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 110 |
In the same moment I had freed the sword of one of them and I turned, crouching, snarling, to face the man near Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 148 |
I then turned to the Lady Claudia who still knelt as she had been placed. |
10 |
| 15 | 180 |
I gave it to Lady Claudia and she, with two hands, gratefully, thrust it in her mouth, crumbs at the side of her mouth. |
10 |
| 15 | 192 |
"There is food here," called Lady Claudia, softly, elatedly, from where she crouched, near the guards. |
10 |
| 15 | 227 |
"Oh," said Lady Claudia, interested, come now to my side, a piece of crust in her hand. |
10 |
| 15 | 231 |
"As I recall," I said to Lady Claudia, "you had not had yours cut either". |
10 |
| 15 | 232 |
"No," said Lady Claudia, smiling. |
10 |
| 15 | 252 |
"What was that?" asked Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 257 |
"It is mine, too," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 260 |
I tossed it to Lady Claudia, who examined its contents. |
10 |
| 15 | 263 |
Lady Claudia did so. |
10 |
| 15 | 321 |
"Lady Claudia will do so," I said. |
10 |
| 15 | 329 |
"Remove the veil, carefully," I cautioned Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 332 |
The veil was fastened with a string and Lady Claudia, with two hands, lifted it gently from the head of our prisoner. |
10 |
| 15 | 333 |
"She is beautiful!" said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 338 |
"How beautiful she is!" breathed Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 340 |
"Truly?" asked Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 342 |
Lady Claudia caught her breath for an instant, suspecting then, perhaps, how attractive she herself might be. |
10 |
| 15 | 358 |
"One grows used to being without the veil," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 360 |
"I am as free as you!" retorted Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 362 |
"Slave!" cried Lady Publia again to Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 363 |
"My face is no more naked than yours!" retorted Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 365 |
"Naked face!" responded Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 378 |
"Ah," said Lady Claudia, softly, admiringly. |
10 |
| 15 | 380 |
"Did you notice how she could do that, on her knees?" I asked Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 383 |
"She is so beautiful," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 396 |
"Formulas?" asked Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 403 |
"Such sayings stir my belly," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 411 |
"Had you never considered such sayings?" I asked Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 435 |
"She is very beautiful," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 438 |
"Very beautiful," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 440 |
"Am I truly so beautiful," asked Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 442 |
Lady Claudia put down her head, shyly. |
10 |
| 15 | 443 |
I supposed it would not do to tell Lady Claudia, as she was still a free woman, but she was actually, at this time, at any rate, far more beautiful than Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 447 |
"Yes," whispered Lady Claudia, speaking not her legal status but her truth. |
10 |
| 15 | 449 |
Lady Claudia lowered her head, shamed. |
10 |
| 15 | 453 |
Lady Claudia did not respond. |
10 |
| 15 | 455 |
Lady Publia regarded Lady Claudia scornfully. |
10 |
| 15 | 456 |
Lady Claudia did not meet her eyes. |
10 |
| 15 | 466 |
"I am not a slave! I would never have surrendered!" "I do not like her, Master," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 487 |
"How such women shame women such as I, who are weak and needful, and loving," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 501 |
"I would not be as she," said Lady Claudia, "certainly not any more, after what I have learned, but you can see how noble she is, how like a man!" "She does not look like a man," I said, considering her luscious form. |
10 |
| 15 | 502 |
"I mean 'on the inside,'" said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 509 |
"In a sense," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 514 |
I gathered together the scarflike material she had had wrapped turbanlike about her head, her veil and her "rags," and handed them to Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 516 |
"Put these over there, by the rope, and the leash and collar," I said to Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 523 |
"There are trumpets outside," said Lady Claudia, suddenly. |
10 |
| 15 | 560 |
"I, too," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 574 |
"There are the trumpets again," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 582 |
"One fellow had a shaving knife," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 585 |
In a moment Lady Claudia had returned with the implement. |
10 |
| 15 | 596 |
I had left her enough hair so that I could get my hand in it, in the scrub of it, so that I might use it as the guard had earlier the hair of Lady Claudia, to control her. |
10 |
| 15 | 598 |
It was of about the same length as that of Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 604 |
"Go to the place where you put the clothing," I said to Lady Claudia, "by the rope, the leash and collar, and wait there". |
10 |
| 15 | 605 |
Lady Claudia hurried to the place. |
10 |
| 15 | 611 |
"Lift up one end of the rope," I said to Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 613 |
I then, abruptly, seized Lady Publia by the scrub of her dark hair and pulled her, she crying out, half crawling, half being dragged, over to where Lady Claudia waited. |
10 |
| 15 | 614 |
It was precisely so that the guard, earlier, had treated Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 615 |
"Kneel here," I said to Lady Publia, indicating the same spot where Lady Claudia had knelt, "up, off your heels, your arms at your sides". |
10 |
| 15 | 617 |
It was exactly in such a position that Lady Claudia had been knelt by the guard. |
10 |
| 15 | 618 |
I then took the free end of the rope from Lady Claudia's hand and, exactly as she had been tied, with the many coils, beginning near her waist, began to bind Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 620 |
"Put on her clothing," I said to Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 631 |
"Your calves and ankles," I said to Lady Claudia, "are as attractive as hers". |
10 |
| 15 | 632 |
Lady Claudia flushed with pleasure at my compliment. |
10 |
| 15 | 637 |
"That is very good," I said to Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 639 |
If one did not know Lady Publia personally, or if one did not know her all that well, I did not think there would be any difficulty in Lady Claudia's being taken for her. |
10 |
| 15 | 643 |
Lady Claudia did so, using a belt knife, taken from one of the guards. |
10 |
| 15 | 647 |
She then knelt there, as had Lady Claudia, leashed and collared. |
10 |
| 15 | 655 |
In a moment Lady Claudia had rejoined me, carrying a good bit of cloth. |
10 |
| 15 | 665 |
"It is the artillery," said Lady Claudia, shivering. |
10 |
| 15 | 668 |
"I think so," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 680 |
Lady Claudia gasped. |
10 |
| 15 | 683 |
"Yes," said Lady Claudia, softly. |
10 |
| 15 | 717 |
"Hold her leash, close to the collar," I said to Lady Claudia, who was white-faced, too. |
10 |
| 15 | 732 |
I gestured to Lady Claudia to release the leash. |
10 |
| 15 | 744 |
"See if anyone is coming," I said to Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 748 |
Lady Claudia looked down, horrified, at our helpless warder. |
10 |
| 15 | 750 |
"The spear, as I understand it," I said, trying to recall the words of our warder earlier to Lady Claudia, "is a solid piece of polished metal, very long, and less than a hort in width. |
10 |
| 15 | 754 |
Lady Claudia looked at me wildly, over the veil. |
10 |
| 15 | 759 |
Lady Claudia's veil and Lady Publia's hood doubtless afforded them some protection. |
10 |
| 15 | 771 |
"You are Lady Publia, the warder?" he asked Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 773 |
It was for this reason that I had not enslaved Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 782 |
"Perhaps," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 786 |
"You have pretty legs," said the fellow to Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 807 |
"From the look of it, woman," said he to Lady Claudia, "I do not think you have underrobes beneath those rags". |
10 |
| 15 | 814 |
"You must have fed her very well," said the fellow, looking up at Lady Claudia, whom he took for Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 846 |
I recalled that Lady Claudia had been much that way earlier. |
10 |
| 15 | 856 |
Lady Claudia, wide-eyed, frightened, looked at the prisoner, lying on her side, helpless, and looked then, too, at the fellow. |
10 |
| 15 | 883 |
He looked at Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 886 |
Lady Claudia stood back, not answering. |
10 |
| 15 | 892 |
Lady Claudia's hand went before her veiled lips. |
10 |
| 15 | 894 |
I supposed that perhaps Lady Claudia had never seen a woman subjected to leash control before. |
10 |
| 15 | 909 |
"What is wrong with you?" asked the fellow, looking up at Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 912 |
Lady Claudia looked at him. |
10 |
| 15 | 920 |
As he considered the prisoner, Lady Claudia hurried to my side, keenly distressed, half beside herself. |
10 |
| 15 | 926 |
I motioned that Lady Claudia should return to her place. |
10 |
| 15 | 929 |
"Spare her!" cried Lady Claudia, suddenly. |
10 |
| 15 | 931 |
"Do not take her to the spear!" begged Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 933 |
What difference will it make!" I wished Lady Claudia would have kept her lovely face shut. |
10 |
| 15 | 936 |
Lady Claudia shrank back, horrified. |
10 |
| 15 | 960 |
I moved quickly toward him but then it seemed, suddenly, as though the world had burst apart, and I spun about, covering my head with my hands, and it seemed in that instant that the cell was filled with bursting stones and bricks, and there was a great sound, and Lady Claudia screamed, and one coul... |
10 |
| 15 | 966 |
Lady Claudia crouched down, shuddering, her hands over her head. |
10 |
| 15 | 970 |
There, spread before me, in the bright morning sun, under the clear blue sky, bright with glittering spear blades and shields, with nodding plumes, with the standards of companies and regiments, dotted with engines, here and there a tharlarion stalking about, tarnsmen in the sky, in serried ranks, s... |
10 |
| 15 | 1043 |
I motioned that Lady Claudia should be silent. |
10 |
| 15 | 1072 |
I then, followed by Lady Claudia, carried her from the ruins of the cell. |
10 |
| 16 | 9 |
Lady Claudia followed, closely, frightened, miserable. |
10 |
| 16 | 15 |
She herself, doubtless, had the situation been reversed, would have followed the executioner eagerly, and, later, with sardonic amusement, as the spectacle unfolded, done her best to increase Lady Claudia's misery. |
10 |
| 16 | 17 |
But she, unlike Lady Claudia, had not yet been taught her form of humanity and her sex. |
10 |
| 16 | 122 |
"Please, no!" wept Lady Claudia, putting out her hand. |
10 |
| 16 | 130 |
Hope would be springing up wildly within her, for the executioner not knowing who she was, and thinking she was the Lady Claudia, would presumably have simply put her on the spear and went about his business, probably, pulling off his mask, to some post on the wall. |
10 |
| 16 | 133 |
Lady Claudia put out her hand and touched me on the shoulder, gratefully. |
10 |
| 16 | 137 |
Lady Claudia clapped her hands with delight, she herself no better. |
10 |
| 16 | 145 |
"She is a slave!" said Lady Claudia softly. |
10 |
| 16 | 147 |
"You are now a slave, Publia," said Lady Claudia, wonderingly. |
10 |
| 16 | 148 |
"She is no longer Publia," I said to Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 16 | 152 |
"What are you doing?" asked Lady Claudia, frightened. |
10 |
| 16 | 154 |
"What are you doing?" cried Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 16 | 159 |
"What do you mean?" whispered Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 16 | 161 |
"No," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 16 | 164 |
"You knew she would declare herself a slave!" said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 16 | 167 |
"I am no less a slave than she!" said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 16 | 169 |
"And now," she cried, "that you have won from her her confession that she was slave, and she has said the words themselves, enacting embondment upon herself, you would put her, now, not even in the dignity of the free woman, but in the misery and degradation of a shamed slave, upon the spear!" "Do y... |
10 |
| 16 | 174 |
"No!" said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 16 | 198 |
Suddenly Lady Claudia flung her body across that of the slave, as though she would protect her from me. |
10 |
| 16 | 269 |
"Spare her!" said the Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 16 | 277 |
"Yet you would intercede for her?" "Yes!" I saw that a great transformation had taken place in the character of Lady Claudia since her capture and incarceration. |
10 |
| 16 | 289 |
Lady Claudia began to weep. |
10 |
| 16 | 298 |
"Why are you removing your sword belt?" asked the Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 16 | 311 |
"You are sparing her!" breathed Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 16 | 325 |
"Could you really put her on the spear?" asked Lady Claudia, softly. |
10 |
| 16 | 330 |
Lady Claudia shuddered. |
10 |
| 16 | 334 |
"What is wrong?" I asked Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 16 | 339 |
"Let us leave," I said to Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 16 | 345 |
"If she is rescued," said Lady Claudia, looking back at the lovely, nude figure, seemingly mounted upon the impaling spear, "doubtless she will deny she is a slave". |
10 |
| 16 | 347 |
"Yes," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 16 | 360 |
"I have heard that bondage is difficult to conceal," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 16 | 412 |
"Yes," whispered Lady Claudia, not taking her eyes off the small figure suspended on the spear, on the battlements over the gate. |
10 |
| 17 | 355 |
"That is not Lady Claudia!" said the young fellow. |
10 |
| 17 | 358 |
Did he not know that Lady Claudia would have been quite as quick, if not quicker, to lift herself, hoping to please? "Who is it?" asked the lad. |
10 |
| 17 | 362 |
"Where then is Lady Claudia, the traitress?" he asked. |
10 |
| 17 | 384 |
"It is not Lady Claudia," I said. |
10 |
| 18 | 278 |
It was Lady Claudia, in the provocative rags that had been designed by the former Lady Publia, that she might hope to be of interest to Cosians. |
10 |
| 18 | 281 |
Lady Claudia looked up at me, clutching me. |
10 |
| 18 | 482 |
"I gather, from reports of those who were on the wall," said Marsias, "that you impaled the traitress, Lady Claudia". |
10 |
| 18 | 490 |
"Many think that both Lady Claudia and Lady Publia needed to learn their womanhood". |
10 |
| 18 | 491 |
"Lady Claudia," I said, "had already begun to learn it". |
10 |
| 18 | 551 |
"If it is true," he said, "Lady Claudia, whom I suspect is somewhere about, probably in the rags of Lady Publia, is still entitled to look forward to her impalement". |
10 |
| 20 | 384 |
I then saw, a rope on her neck, her hands thonged behind her back, still veiled, still clad in the provocative rags which had been those of the former Lady Publia, Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 20 | 397 |
Too, in that place, kneeling, too, a neck rope dangling before her, but in no one's keeping, knelt Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 21 | 37 |
Your escape and that of the heinous traitress, Lady Claudia, became generally known after the recall of the troops from the citadel, in the retreat to the landing. |
10 |
| 21 | 326 |
"Lady Claudia, the traitress, and an undisputed free woman," he said, "is in our power. |
10 |
| 21 | 332 |
She knew, of course, that Lady Claudia could testify as to the presence of the gold in her purse. |
10 |
| 21 | 549 |
Too, of course, Lady Claudia, still a free person, who could render free testimony, not even extracted under torture, for example, had been present. |
10 |
| 21 | 650 |
Lady Claudia was silent. |
10 |
| 21 | 651 |
"You are the traitress, Lady Claudia," he said. |
10 |
| 21 | 668 |
"Do you, Lady Claudia," asked Aemilianus, "regret your treason?" "Keenly," she said. |
10 |
| 21 | 687 |
"Yes," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 21 | 692 |
"But I envy her," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 21 | 725 |
One fellow, with a thong, and the key to the Lady Claudia's locks had already stepped forward. |
10 |
| 21 | 727 |
I assumed he would remove the Lady Claudia's wrist rings first, then affix the belly thong on her, fastening her hands behind her back, tightly, and then, and then only, remove the ankle rings and the collar, the remainder of the sirik. |
10 |
| 21 | 730 |
"In the cell, yesterday morning," I said, it seemed a long time ago now, "I gathered that my fate was not to be inextricably linked to that of Lady Claudia, that you had perhaps not convinced yourself, and quite properly, of my guilt in the matter of espionage". |
10 |
| 21 | 753 |
"It had not pleased me," I said, "that this woman," and here I indicated the Lady Claudia by placing my foot against her, and thrusting her forward, so that she fell to all fours in her chains on the deck, "was to be impaled". |
10 |
| 21 | 756 |
"Does not impalement in this case seem a waste of slut?" Lady Claudia, a free woman, gasped, so spoken of. |
10 |
| 21 | 761 |
Also, Lady Claudia was to be well fed that morning, and so this put sustenance in my way, of which I took advantage. |
10 |
| 21 | 763 |
"Your action on behalf of Lady Claudia," he said, "was very nearly successful. |
10 |
| 21 | 768 |
Lady Claudia rose to her knees, and turned, to face me, wildly. |
10 |
| 21 | 775 |
"Perhaps you approve of it, however," he asked, "in this specific case, in the case of the Lady Claudia?" "Not at all," I said. |
10 |
| 21 | 779 |
"By what title then would you presume to interfere, by that of the sword?" "Please, noble sir," wept the Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 21 | 793 |
The Lady Claudia shuddered, understanding what it might be to be at the mercy of men. |
10 |
| 21 | 816 |
"I ask the commutation of the sentence of impalement in the case of the Lady Claudia of Ar's Station". |
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 | 880 |
"Claudia, Lady of Ar's Station, free woman," he said, sternly. |
10 |
| 21 | 931 |
'" "Your name?" asked Calliodorus of the former Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 21 | 932 |
"'Claudia'!" she said, quickly. |
10 |
| 21 | 933 |
"Lady Claudia?" he inquired. |
10 |
| 21 | 935 |
"I am only a slave, who has been given the name 'Claudia'!" Both names now, of course, were slave names. |
10 |
| 21 | 967 |
It did not seem likely that in the future there would be any doubts about Publia's status, nor, indeed, that of Claudia either. |
10 |
| 21 | 1045 |
I supposed that, eventually, both Publia and Claudia would be vended in Cosian slave markets, As slaves they would have no Home Stones, nor native land, no more than a tarsk or kaiila. |
10 |
| 21 | 1070 |
Publia and Claudia looked up, pleadingly. |
10 |
| 21 | 1115 |
Claudia nodded vigorously. |
10 |
| 21 | 1147 |
Claudia squirmed on her knees. |
10 |
| 21 | 1149 |
For a moment it seemed Claudia was not certain that she had been addressed. |
10 |
| 21 | 1160 |
"May I speak, Master?" begged Claudia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1165 |
"Please attend to the plea of my sister slave," begged Claudia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1170 |
"Yes, Master!" said Claudia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1174 |
Publia and Claudia exchanged troubled glances. |
10 |
| 21 | 1188 |
Claudia shuddered, at her side. |
10 |
| 21 | 1199 |
"Too, Master," put in Claudia, "let it not be slashed or open, and let it have sleeves, and a nether closure, and a suitable length, surely below the knees, perhaps to the ankles". |
10 |
| 21 | 1216 |
"The tunic must not have a disrobing loop!" "No, Master!" agreed Claudia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1229 |
"So," said Calliodorus, "you would consider accepting, say, opaque, lengthy, modest tunics?" "Yes," said Claudia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1231 |
"Yes!" agreed Claudia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1242 |
"We trust, of course," said Claudia, "in the thoughtfulness and benevolence, the kindness, of master". |
10 |
| 21 | 1279 |
"Master?" said Claudia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1283 |
"Master!" protested Claudia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1287 |
Tears brimmed in Claudia's eyes, but she, too, was silent. |
10 |
| 21 | 1316 |
The fellow spoken to, standing behind and rather between the two girls took them each by an arm, Claudia by her right arm, and Publia by her left, and pulled them to their feet. |
10 |
| 21 | 1343 |
"The former Lady Claudia and I were cellmates," I said to Calliodorus. |
10 |
| 21 | 1379 |
"In my uses of the former Lady Claudia, in the cell," I said, "I sometimes gave her the use name of 'Chloe'". |
10 |
| 21 | 1382 |
"Did the use name help her to dissociate herself from the proprieties which she might have thought appropriate to a Lady Claudia?" he asked. |
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 | 1414 |
I thought that there was something in the slave now called "Claudia" which would prove to be a precious, vulnerable, yearning love slave. |
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 | 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 | 1434 |
"And I think," said Calliodorus, "that the more extensive services then to be rendered by Claudia and Publia will be useful in helping them to comprehend more quickly and clearly the nature of their new condition". |
10 |
| 21 | 1460 |
The slave girl, as Claudia and Publia would come to learn, has thousands of uses. |
10 |
| 21 | 1482 |
To be certain, the situation might be quite different for slaves, such as Claudia and Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1487 |
"I thank you for your mercy in the case of the former Lady Claudia". |
10 |
| 22 | 55 |
Claudia had been put at the ring earlier and returned to the hold earlier. |
10 |
| 22 | 58 |
Tomorrow night, as it was on alternate nights, Claudia would be put at the ring later, and Publia earlier. |
10 |
| 22 | 62 |
"You and Claudia will be displayed at the prow". |
10 |
| 22 | 72 |
"But," she said, "I gather, given the apparent desire to protect the slaves of Ar's Station, it is only to be expected that it be Claudia and I, and we alone, who are to be accorded that honor". |
10 |
| 23 | 1 |
Claudia, Slave The slave lay before me, on her stomach, over a pile of rope, aft on the Tais. |
10 |
| 23 | 16 |
"You were once Lady Claudia, of Ar's Station," I said. |
10 |
| 23 | 19 |
"Claudia," she said, "a slave". |
10 |
| 23 | 21 |
"Lift yourself, Claudia, slave," I said. |
10 |
| 23 | 217 |
"Publia, slave, has told Claudia, slave, that we are to be put at the prow. |
10 |
| 23 | 218 |
May Claudia inquire of master if it be true?" "It is true," he said. |
10 |
| 23 | 220 |
"May Claudia inquire how it is to be done?" "We use a harness of chains and leather," he said. |
10 |
| 23 | 255 |
"And may Claudia inquire as to what behaviors may be required of herself and Publia?" she asked. |
10 |
| 23 | 263 |
"On your stomach, head down, over the ropes," said the fellow to Claudia. |
10 |
| 23 | 277 |
By means of the moonlight I could see a reticulated pattern of light and shadows there, which fell across two girls, one, Publia, sleeping, the other, Claudia, still standing, near the bottom of the ladderlike stairs, who looked up at me. |
10 |
| 24 | 99 |
I looked at one, whose name was Claudia. |
10 |
| 24 | 105 |
The head of Claudia was turned to the left, her head between her arms; the head of Publia was turned to the right, her head between her arms. |
10 |
| 24 | 189 |
Seeing her, both Publia and Claudia stood even a little straighter, though apparently paying her no attention. |
10 |
| 24 | 242 |
One of the fellows of Port Cos then went to Claudia. |
10 |
| 24 | 298 |
Claudia had cried out, startled, but, too, in fear. |
10 |
| 24 | 302 |
"Claudia," said he. |
10 |
| 24 | 310 |
"Yes, Master!" said Claudia. |
10 |
| 24 | 402 |
Claudia, too, winced, but, too, it had not touched her. |
10 |
| 24 | 403 |
"Publia, Claudia!" said their keeper. |
10 |
| 24 | 405 |
"Yes, Master!" said Claudia. |
10 |
| 24 | 408 |
"You, Claudia," he said, "were a traitress to your city". |
10 |
| 24 | 416 |
"Please, no, Master!" called Claudia. |
10 |
| 24 | 426 |
He had Claudia, too, then, do these things. |
10 |
| 24 | 452 |
Claudia cried out with misery, but did not cease to move. |
10 |
| 24 | 456 |
"There is a fellow of Cos! Present yourselves to him! You are female slaves! Do it! And there is another!" "I am not such a girl!" suddenly cried Claudia. |
10 |
| 24 | 477 |
They were deeply concerned that Claudia not be permitted to get away with anything, no more than they. |
10 |
| 24 | 486 |
The keeper turned back toward Claudia. |
10 |
| 24 | 493 |
Claudia swung in the harness to face me. |
10 |
| 24 | 521 |
"Perhaps it will be you who will own me?" called Claudia to him. |
10 |
| 24 | 534 |
For an instant Publia, startled, and Claudia, frightened, stopped writhing in the harnesses. |
10 |
| 24 | 562 |
"This one we call 'Publia,'" said the keeper, "and this one 'Claudia. |
10 |
| 24 | 565 |
Both had now felt the whip at one time or another, indeed, Claudia only a moment ago. |
10 |
| 24 | 587 |
"And this one," said the keeper, indicating Claudia, "betrayed her compatriots, declared for Cos and took Cosian gold for treason!" "But she is a slave now?" called a man. |
10 |
| 24 | 590 |
Claudia looked wildly at the keeper. |
10 |
| 24 | 593 |
"I regret what I did!" cried Claudia. |
10 |
| 24 | 619 |
In a moment he, and the others, similarly, had retrieved Claudia and she, too, knelt on the bow deck. |
10 |
| 24 | 624 |
"Yes, Master," said Claudia. |
10 |
| 24 | 628 |
Claudia then, too, as had Publia, was kneeling before me. |
10 |
| 24 | 642 |
He similarly handled Claudia. |
10 |
| 24 | 651 |
I watched while Publia was turned about, so that her back was to Claudia. |
10 |
| 24 | 652 |
She was then put, kneeling, before the kneeling Claudia. |
10 |
| 24 | 676 |
As there were only two girls on the present necklace, Publia and Claudia, it is was hard to say what prompted the order in which they were placed. |
