"My name is Clitus," he said. |
10 |

Thurnock, the peasant, and Clitus, the fisherman, approached, holding between them Ho-Hak, bound hand and foot, the heavy collar of the galley slave, with its dangling chain, still riveted about his neck. |
10 |
| 8 | 484 |
"Take him away!" I ordered Thurnock and Clitus, and they dragged Ho-Hak from my presence, taking him back somewhere on the second barge, among other bound slaves. |
10 |
| 8 | 514 |
I looked at Thurnock and Clitus. |
10 |
| 8 | 517 |

10 |
| 8 | 522 |
Thurnock was blue-eyed, Clitus gray-eyed. |
10 |
| 8 | 523 |
Thurnock was a huge man, with arms like the oars of the great galleys; Clitus was slighter, but he had been first oar; he would have great strength, beyond what it might seem. |
10 |
| 8 | 541 |
"We found food and water," said Clitus, "and some weapons, and gold". |
10 |

10 |
| 8 | 657 |
Clitus, I expected, would have little difficulty with his short rence girl. |
10 |
| 8 | 666 |
"We have tied it with the rence craft," said Clitus, "abeam of the starboard bow of this barge". |
10 |
| 8 | 675 |
Thurnock then took the same long length of binding fiber, one end of which I had fastened about Midice's neck, and, without cutting it, looped and knotted it about the neck of the large, blond, gray-eyed girl, handing the coil then to Clitus, who indicated that the short rence girl should take her p... |
10 |

10 |
| 9 | 281 |
"Good, my Captain," said Clitus from one side where he sat working on a net, reinforcing its knots one by one. |
10 |
| 9 | 317 |
Before we set out we broke open the great bottle of paga, and Thurnock, Clitus and I clashed goblets and emptied them of their swirling fires. |
10 |
| 9 | 320 |
"And then," I cried, "we will return and make a feast!" Thurnock, Clitus and I once more clashed and emptied goblets, and then, leading Midice, first in the coffle, by the lead end of the binding fiber, I stumbled through the door, finding my way down the stairs, with the others, hunting for a smith... |
10 |
| 9 | 322 |

10 |
| 9 | 330 |

Clitus, after returning to our quarters, had left and returned with four musicians, bleary-eyed, routed from their mats well past the Twentieth Hour, but, lured by the jingling of a pair of silver tarsks, ready to play for us, past the dawn if need be. |
10 |
| 9 | 341 |
Clitus, too, had brought two bottles of Ka-la-na wine, a string of eels, cheese of the Verr, and a sack of red olives from the groves of Tyros. |
10 |
| 9 | 368 |
Across the table I saw Ula, eyes timid, lift her lips to Clitus. |
10 |
| 9 | 382 |
At a gesture from Clitus, Ula, too, leaped to her feet. |
10 |
| 9 | 389 |
The musicians began to play, and to the clappings and cries of Thurnock and Clitus, Thura and Ula danced before them. |
10 |
| 9 | 415 |
And then Ula, boldly before Clitus, tore from her own body the silk she wore and danced, her arms extended to him. |
10 |
| 10 | 42 |

10 |
| 12 | 19 |
I, followed by Clitus and Thurnock, and others, leaped over the wall and ran toward the edge of the canal. |
10 |
| 12 | 24 |
A crossbow bolt slipped through the air, passing between myself and Clitus. |
10 |
| 12 | 48 |
"It's dead!" cried Clitus. |
10 |
| 12 | 51 |
I felt the folded sweep of Clitus' net behind me and I thrust back my hand, and hooked my fingers into its mesh. |
10 |
| 12 | 78 |
"What is your name?" asked Clitus. |
10 |
| 12 | 105 |

10 |
| 13 | 492 |
"What shall we do now, Captain," asked Clitus, of me. |
10 |
| 14 | 337 |
I turned to Clitus, who had been on the ship before me. |
10 |
| 14 | 354 |
"If these figures are correct," I said to Clitus, "as doubtless they are, we and the Captains of Port Kar are today the masters of much treasure". |
10 |
| 14 | 389 |
"How many of these are there?" I asked Clitus. |
10 |
| 14 | 392 |
Clitus grinned. |
10 |
| 14 | 402 |
I turned to Clitus. |
10 |
| 14 | 405 |
"Yes, Captain," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 14 | 408 |
"Yes, Captain," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 14 | 417 |
I handed Clitus the book of cargo lists and strode to the girl. |
10 |
| 14 | 447 |
I turned away, taking the book of master cargo lists from Clitus, and again giving them my attention. |
10 |
| 15 | 173 |

10 |
| 15 | 254 |
I looked down the table, to where Thurnock, with his slave Thura, and Clitus, with his slave, Ula, were drinking and laughing. |
10 |
| 15 | 255 |
Thurnock and Clitus were good men, but they were fools. |
10 |
| 16 | 166 |
I looked from face to face, the great Thurnock, now calm, swift, strong Clitus, the shrewd oar-master, the others. |
10 |
| 16 | 267 |
"And I!" said Clitus. |
10 |
| 16 | 279 |
"Thurnock and Clitus," I said, "remain in the holding". |
10 |
| 18 | 304 |

10 |
| 18 | 613 |

Clitus Vitellius, I knew, had been angry that I could not help but respond to men, scorning me for this rightly, perhaps, as the slave and slut I was, but I did not care. |
10 |
| 21 | 181 |
Though any Gorean male might make me, in spite of myself, a panting, orgasmic slave in his arms, I knew it had been only he, Clitus Vitellius, whom I had truly loved, and yet loved. |
10 |
| 22 | 338 |
How excited and thrilled I had been to be stripped by my master, Clitus Vitellius, he tearing away the Ta-Teera, when his need was upon him. |
10 |
| 22 | 765 |
"I love you, Clitus Vitellius!" I cried. |
10 |
| 23 | 1 |
The Raft I lay in the arms of Clitus Vitellius, my master, under the bright stars of Gor, under the white moons and the black sky, on the rough wood, in the midst of that great, lonely sea. |
10 |
| 23 | 57 |
"Can it be, Clitus Vitellius?" he asked himself, aloud. |
10 |
| 24 | 1 |
I am Chained in the Hold of a Galley "Awaken, Slave," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 10 |
Clitus Vitellius stood on the wreckage, waiting. |
10 |
| 24 | 20 |
Clitus Vitellius lifted his hand, in a salute of warriors. |
10 |
| 24 | 22 |
"I am Clitus Vitellius of Ar," he said. |
10 |
| 24 | 25 |
Clitus Vitellius laughed. |
10 |
| 24 | 26 |
"Clitus Vitellius of Ar, and his men," said the man, "by accounts rendered to me by Samos of Port Kar, of the Council of Captains, participated creditably in the action of the day before yesterday on behalf of the Jewel of Thassa". |
10 |
| 24 | 30 |
"We did the small things we could," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 32 |
Then Clitus Vitellius looked to the man on the ship. |
10 |
| 24 | 35 |
"Excellent," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 37 |
"I request passage for two," said Clitus Vitellius, "myself and," indicating me, "this slave". |
10 |
| 24 | 52 |
Why else would they keep us in the custody they do? Clitus Vitellius shrugged. |
10 |
| 24 | 57 |
"I suppose so," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 59 |
"Perhaps," acknowledged Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 88 |
"There is something you should know about her," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 90 |
"She is a traitress," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 96 |
"Yes," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 110 |
"No," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 113 |
"No," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 115 |
"She betrayed a particular person?" "Yes," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 117 |
"Me," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 119 |
"Yes," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 125 |
Could my master not understand that I loved him? Clitus Vitellius looked down upon me, with fury, with contempt. |
10 |
| 24 | 126 |
"She is garbage, garbage," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 134 |
"Perhaps," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 137 |
"I like that," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 146 |
"But this one," said Clitus Vitellius, kicking me, as I gasped and recoiled, "is not free". |
10 |
| 24 | 151 |
"But I assure you, she is nonetheless garbage," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 154 |
'" "I see," said Clitus Vitellius, approvingly. |
10 |
| 24 | 159 |
"Excellent," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 163 |
"Look at her," he said to Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 175 |
"She is worthless," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 178 |
Clitus Vitellius turned about and cuffed me, angrily. |
10 |
| 24 | 186 |
"She is not for sale," said Clitus Vitellius, angrily. |
10 |
| 24 | 190 |
"The slut is not worth a copper tarsk-bit," said Clitus Vitellius, angrily, defensively. |
10 |
| 24 | 205 |
"No," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 207 |
"Yes, with virulence," snarled Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 209 |
"Certainly," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 214 |
"I love him! I love him!" "She is a superb actress," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 220 |
"It is hard for a woman to betray a man when she is at his feet, naked and bound," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 226 |
I wanted to serve him, and love him, and give him pleasure, and pleasure, and pleasure! I wanted only the opportunity to prove to Clitus Vitellius my love! I was sure the stranger saw my love for my master, even if my master did not! How complete, and helpless, and profound, is the love of a slave g... |
10 |
| 24 | 227 |
"She is a traitress, a traitress," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 229 |
"It is my intention," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 234 |
In a moment, Clitus Vitellius, aided by the hand of the man who had spoken to us, leaped aboard. |
10 |
| 24 | 240 |
"In courtesy," said Clitus Vitellius, "I grant you and your men slave rights upon this woman. |
10 |
| 24 | 244 |
"Yes," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 248 |
"Yes," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 255 |
"You seem interested in the slave," said Clitus Vitellius, puzzled. |
10 |
| 24 | 263 |
Two sailors seized Clitus Vitellius, who struggled. |
10 |
| 24 | 273 |
"Release me!" demanded Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 279 |
"Master!" I cried to Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 281 |
"Release me!" cried Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 282 |
"I would speak with you upon the high deck," said the man to Clitus Vitellius, "and I would speak with you alone". |
10 |
| 24 | 283 |
"I do not understand," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 285 |
The sailors released Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 24 | 288 |
Clitus Vitellius followed him, angrily. |
10 |
| 25 | 4 |
Near him, intent, watchful, was Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 25 | 188 |
Samos and Clitus Vitellius were intent. |
10 |
| 25 | 200 |
"Would you wish me to withdraw?" inquired Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 25 | 202 |
Then Samos said, "Remain, if you would, Clitus Vitellius, Captain of Ar". |
10 |
| 25 | 203 |
Clitus Vitellius nodded. |
10 |
| 25 | 215 |
"I took her from two men near the country of the Salerian Confederation," said Clitus Vitellius, "in the early spring". |
10 |
| 25 | 216 |
Since that time I had been the slave of Clitus Vitellius, of Thurnus of Tabuk's Ford, of the Keep of Stones of Turmus, and of the Belled Collar. |
10 |
| 25 | 237 |
"Invasion?" asked Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 25 | 239 |
"Of Ar?" asked Clitus Vitellius, angrily. |
10 |
| 25 | 243 |
"I, too!" cried Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 26 | 570 |
I thought of Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 26 | 859 |
Clitus Vitellius stepped into the threshold. |
10 |
| 27 | 1 |
I Kneel in the Yellow Circle I lay at his feet, like a pet she-sleen, he, Clitus Vitellius, in his compartments, sitting in a curule chair. |
10 |
| 27 | 44 |
"How could I, Clitus Vitellius, a captain of Ar, care for a slave?" he demanded. |
10 |
| 27 | 52 |
"I am Clitus Vitellius, of Ar. |
10 |
| 27 | 55 |
There Clitus Vitellius untied my hands, that I might, as though I were still a paga girl there, serve him. |
10 |
| 27 | 82 |
I had regarded her as my greatest rival where Clitus Vitellius had been concerned. |
10 |
| 27 | 87 |
"I gave Eta," said Clitus Vitellius, "to the guard, Mirus". |
10 |
| 27 | 94 |
Mirus, I had thought, had been the most attractive of the men of Clitus Vitellius, saving himself, of course. |
10 |
| 27 | 95 |
"Slave Beads, as you know," said Clitus Vitellius, "is now owned by Busebius". |
10 |
| 27 | 97 |
"Lehna, and Donna and Chanda," said Clitus Vitellius, "I gave to two of my men, Lehna to one, and Donna and Chanda to the other, for good service in war". |
10 |
| 27 | 107 |
"But you know him," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 27 | 108 |
I looked at Clitus Vitellius, curious. |
10 |
| 27 | 114 |
Clitus Vitellius, perhaps wisely, believed it depended upon the girl and the context. |
10 |
| 27 | 119 |
I had little doubt, however, that Clitus Vitellius, in the present context, would hesitate to whip me in the Belled Collar itself. |
10 |
| 27 | 126 |
"Yes," Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 27 | 128 |
"Do not fear, little slave," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 27 | 183 |
Clitus Vitellius, to my surprise, slipped to one side. |
10 |
| 27 | 203 |
"He fights well," said Thurnus to Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 27 | 204 |
"Yes," said Clitus Vitellius, moving his head to one side to avoid a flying bottle. |
10 |
| 27 | 223 |
Then Thurnus and Bran Loort were fighting back to back, the goblet of Thurnus left in the hands of Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 27 | 236 |
The sword, too, of Clitus Vitellius, my master, the captain of Ar, had left its sheath. |
10 |
| 27 | 239 |
"I must agree with my fellow of the warriors," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 27 | 244 |
"And I," called Clitus Vitellius, "will fee the second round of cups!" "Cheers for the peasants!" cried a man, with bloody face. |
10 |
| 27 | 255 |
He had retrieved his goblet now, handed to him by Clitus Vitellius, and, throwing his head back, splashed its contents down his throat. |
10 |
| 27 | 264 |
Clitus Vitellius smiled. |
10 |
| 27 | 284 |
"I am pleased," said Clitus Vitellius, "to have been of service". |
10 |
| 27 | 291 |
Bran Loort looked to Clitus Vitellius and the warrior smiled, and lifted his hand. |
10 |
| 27 | 318 |
When Clitus Vitellius had come to the compartments of the former Lady Elicia of Six Towers to fetch a slave she, bound hand and foot, had been in white. |
10 |
| 27 | 414 |
I went to kneel behind Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 27 | 417 |
"The Salerian Confederation," Clitus Vitellius was saying, "is a threat to the security of Ar". |
10 |
| 27 | 419 |
"You seem distracted," said Clitus Vitellius, who apparently wished to discuss politics. |
10 |
| 27 | 421 |
"A pretty little slave," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 27 | 431 |
"Do you think I should buy her?" asked Thandar of Ti of Clitus Vitellius, as he regarded the lineaments and beauty of the girl. |
10 |
| 27 | 434 |
"She is a beauty," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 27 | 544 |
Clitus Vitellius smiled. |
10 |
| 27 | 545 |
"Thank you, Master," said Slave Beads, now Sabina, to Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 27 | 574 |
Clitus Vitellius smiled. |
10 |
| 27 | 624 |
"It is time," said Clitus Vitellius, "for us to be on our way to the Curulean". |
10 |
| 27 | 725 |
"I had thought Clitus Vitellius strong," I said. |
10 |
| 27 | 738 |
"The vending of a girl," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 27 | 746 |
Clitus Vitellius did so. |
10 |
| 27 | 759 |
"Give me whatever you think she is worth," he said, "and send the coins to the compartments of Clitus Vitellius, in the Towers of Warriors". |
10 |
| 27 | 761 |
Clitus Vitellius turned about and left the Curulean. |
10 |
| 28 | 306 |
"I love you, Clitus Vitellius!" I cried, tears in my eyes. |
10 |
| 28 | 309 |
But the point of the spear of Clitus Vitellius lay at his throat. |
10 |
| 28 | 310 |
"Do not strike her," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 28 | 312 |
Clitus Vitellius turned again to face the crowd of Ar. |
10 |
| 28 | 319 |
Clitus Vitellius stood straight on that great platform, his great, circular shield on his left arm, his mighty spear, seven feet in length, headed in tapering bronze, grasped in his right hand. |
10 |
| 28 | 321 |
"She is yours, Master," said the auctioneer to Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 28 | 325 |
"Your whip," said Clitus Vitellius to the auctioneer. |
10 |
| 28 | 327 |
"She is mine to whip," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 28 | 328 |
The auctioneer placed his whip in the hands of Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 28 | 351 |
I saw then the extent of the regard of Clitus Vitellius for me. |
10 |
| 28 | 358 |
"You are right," said Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 28 | 373 |
"Come here," said Clitus Vitellius to the girl. |
10 |
| 28 | 403 |
I recalled I had cried out, "I love you, Clitus Vitellius!" How foolish I had been. |
10 |
| 28 | 439 |
Clitus Vitellius had turned to the slender, virginal girl. |
10 |
| 28 | 448 |
"We have surely delayed the sales of the Curulean too long," said Clitus Vitellius, to the auctioneer. |
10 |
| 28 | 450 |
"Come, Slaves," said Clitus Vitellius to the two of us, naked in his collar. |
10 |
| 29 | 1 |
A Warrior's Vengeance; the Furs of My Master We were but four bridges from the Towers of the Warriors when Clitus Vitellius turned suddenly, regarding me. |
10 |
| 29 | 34 |
The point of the spear, which Clitus Vitellius had now retrieved, was at her throat. |
10 |
| 29 | 44 |
I turned away, hurrying to follow Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 29 | 52 |
We were but a short way from the Towers of Warriors, on the third of its approaching high bridges, when again Clitus Vitellius turned and faced me. |
10 |
| 29 | 110 |
Clitus Vitellius and I, though I would not have dared tell him, were so related. |
10 |
| 29 | 126 |
At a gesture from Clitus Vitellius I reclined upon the furs, at the foot of the couch. |
10 |
| 29 | 181 |
Clitus Vitellius had confessed his love for a slave. |
10 |
| 29 | 214 |
I lay blissfully in the arms of Clitus Vitellius, owned. |
10 |
| 29 | 217 |
"Perhaps upon occasion," said Clitus Vitellius, "provided she does so upon her knees and at my feet". |
10 |
| 29 | 227 |
I held Clitus Vitellius. |
10 |
| 29 | 262 |
There were a thousand ways to have a slave girl and I did not doubt but what Clitus Vitellius was master of them all. |

10 |

Where was it when we came from Thera?" "It is small," said Clitus. |
10 |

"It is small," said Clitus, "flat without mountains, easily missed". |
10 |

"We may have missed it in poor light, even passed it at dusk, before beaching," said Clitus. |
10 |

"It is from a subsea volcano, erupted, magma coming to the surface, cooling and solidifying," said Clitus. |

"A coincidence, one supposes," said Clitus. |
10 |

"Unless," said Clitus, "the corsair was informed, if it knew the vessel, the time, and course". |
10 |

"Even if our course had been somehow noted," said Clitus, "how could information be supplied to corsairs so quickly?" "By flighted vulos," I said. |

| 5 | 109 |
"Perhaps even ships recognizable from a great height," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 5 | 113 |
"But where could we have been seen at sea, and our course noted?" asked Clitus. |
10 |
| 5 | 115 |
"Yes," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 15 |
"It is easy to see why," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 17 |
"Doubtful," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 34 |
"The last three nights we have heard the same story, and others, by others, even thrice told," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 35 |
"Such stories abound," said Clitus, "particularly as the Ahn grows late and the blood begins to burn with paga". |
10 |
| 6 | 38 |
"You are out of paga, Captain," noted Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 42 |
This seemed agreeable to Clitus and Thurnock as they drained their goblets. |
10 |
| 6 | 49 |
"Soon?" said Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 194 |
"I think the dancer will be soon on the sand," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 200 |
"The dancer!" said Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 209 |
"Let her be whipped," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 213 |
"And suck in your gut," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 221 |
"I see by his expression he has nothing of interest to report," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 226 |
"Or Port Kar," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 231 |
"What success?" asked Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 237 |
"Perhaps we should try another town," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 239 |
"True," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 249 |
"She sees the watching, disciplined slave, kneeling at our table, bound by the Master's will," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 318 |
"It is interesting, is it not," asked Clitus, "that the dancer wore such a belt, and danced so near our table?" "Yes," I said, "that is interesting". |
10 |
| 6 | 319 |
"The inquiries of Aktis in the markets may have been noted," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 321 |
"That was your hope?" asked Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 336 |
"Profitably?" said Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 339 |
"By whom?" asked Clitus. |
10 |
| 6 | 343 |
"But they have failed hitherto even to encounter the fleet of the so-called Bosk of Port Kar," said Clitus, "let alone engage and destroy it". |
10 |
| 6 | 350 |
Thurnock left the tavern, and Clitus and Aktis, the latter supplied with a well-earned copper tarsk, left the table to inspect the goods in the vicinity of the paga vat. |

I Receive Notice of an Occurrence in Sybaris; We Will Depart from the Cove of Harpalos "You have heard, surely," said Clitus, brushing aside the flap of the mottled tent, high and inconspicuous amongst the rocks and ledges below which lay the sheltering Cove of Harpalos, with its small cluster of hu... |
10 |
| 8 | 7 |
Several local families made their living by fishing in the nearby waters, families amongst whom Clitus, master of the trident and net himself, had sought to make friends and cultivate informants. |
10 |
| 8 | 14 |
"I have this from a caste brother," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 8 | 16 |
"A peasant, from overland, below, returned from marketing olives, brings news heard of Sybaris," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 8 | 18 |
"It is hearsay," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 8 | 23 |
"The very night we withdrew from the harbor of Sybaris," said Clitus, "an unconscionable event took place, a riot, a drunken mob, with torches, axes, and clubs, rushed blindly, meaninglessly, pointlessly, inexplicably, upon a large, well-known inn in Sybaris, looting it, tearing it to pieces, puttin... |
10 |
| 8 | 25 |
"I do not understand," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 8 | 27 |
"Then you have heard the story," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 8 | 29 |
"How could you know?" asked Clitus. |
10 |
| 8 | 33 |
"The mob slew no one," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 8 | 35 |
"Whom did they seek?" asked Clitus, uncertainly. |
10 |
| 8 | 38 |
"Secretly, in the darkness," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 8 | 40 |
"They sought us?" said Clitus. |
10 |
| 8 | 42 |
"We are in danger," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 8 | 45 |
"But," said Clitus, grimly, "I think others are now in danger, as well". |
10 |
| 8 | 47 |
"It seems our cause is advanced," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 8 | 58 |
"Ships! Ships! I make out four, no, five, no, six!" "The corsair fleet!" said Clitus. |
10 |
| 8 | 60 |
In a few moments I, followed by Clitus, had clambered up the rocks to join Aktis, who handed me the glass of the Builders. |
10 |
| 8 | 61 |
"The corsairs?" asked Clitus. |
10 |
| 8 | 63 |
"We are betrayed," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 8 | 67 |
"Your orders, Captain," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 8 | 71 |
Clitus scrambled down the rocky slope, toward the inlet. |
10 |
| 9 | 4 |
"They have been searching for Kenneth Statercounter," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 9 | 10 |
"Let them search forever," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 9 | 14 |
"Would that they divide their ships, to speed and widen their search," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 9 | 18 |
"It is crowded today in Sybaris," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 9 | 25 |
"How can one know where the raiders will strike next?" "And," said Clitus, "even if we knew, what could we do?" "Warn the village," I said. |
10 |
| 9 | 36 |
"Many villages," said Clitus, "are situated on or near the coast, or on rivers leading to the coast". |
10 |
| 9 | 41 |
"Too, an attack on Thera might reflect adversely on the governor, Archelaos," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 9 | 51 |
"How many villages do we now speak of?" asked Clitus. |
10 |
| 9 | 64 |
"Lands do not move," had said Clitus. |
10 |
| 9 | 68 |
"You obtained charts at the Cove of Harpalos," had said Clitus. |
10 |
| 9 | 70 |
"It is not charted," had said Clitus. |
10 |
| 12 | 4 |
"Aktis approaches," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 13 | 14 |
Clitus came about the bow of the beached ship. |
10 |
| 13 | 16 |
Clitus' trident was dark with blood. |
10 |
| 13 | 19 |
"Five," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 13 | 32 |
"Did any of the raiders escape?" I asked Clitus. |
10 |
| 13 | 49 |
"Vulos ascended," I said to Clitus. |
10 |
| 13 | 50 |
"They were released, in a group," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 13 | 57 |
"When they reach their destination little will be known save that something is terribly amiss," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 13 | 59 |
Clitus then turned away to gather the survivors amongst the raiders. |
10 |
| 13 | 64 |
A bit later Clitus returned with six raiders, their hands bound behind their backs. |
10 |
| 13 | 123 |
"These are all the supplies?" I asked Clitus. |
10 |
| 13 | 126 |
"It is odd," said Clitus, "two of the ships have unusually decorated decks". |
10 |
| 13 | 130 |
"Why would that be?" asked Clitus. |
10 |
| 13 | 132 |
"Nor I," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 13 | 138 |
"It will be done, Captain," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 13 | 172 |
"It is all they will find," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 14 | 3 |
Clitus, Thurnock, and I went to the port rail. |
10 |
| 14 | 13 |
"It is much like the other," said Clitus, "encountered on our course from Chios to the Cove of Harpalos". |
10 |
| 14 | 15 |
"Perhaps it is the same," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 14 | 28 |
"The volcano is still active," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 14 | 33 |
"I would not care to be on the desolate beaches of Daphna now," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 14 | 35 |
"Some," said Clitus, "the most skillful and unscrupulous, will hoard what water there is and kill their way to the nearest village". |
10 |
| 14 | 37 |
"Captain?" asked Clitus. |
10 |
| 14 | 41 |
"How far will they get, with little or no water?" asked Clitus. |
10 |
| 14 | 45 |
"How could so fearful a thing be known?" asked Clitus. |
10 |
| 14 | 47 |
"We have destroyed the raiders," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 16 | 13 |
"Approach, at leisure, alarm no one," I called back to Clitus, who communicated this to the helmsmen. |
10 |
| 16 | 16 |
"Bring us alongside," I called back to Clitus. |
10 |
| 16 | 194 |
I recalled that Clitus had informed me that certain large, simple designs had been painted on the deck of two of the raiders' ships, but I had thought little of it at the time. |
10 |
| 19 | 1 |
We Attend the Fair at Mytilene Clitus had cast his net expertly, it enveloping and settling about the opponent like a swift, soft, corded rain. |
10 |
| 19 | 2 |
Another turn and twist and the opponent's feet were drawn from under him, and Clitus stood over him, his trident poised at the opponent's throat. |
10 |
| 19 | 5 |
A judge awarded Clitus the copper tarsk. |
10 |
| 19 | 6 |
The opponent disentangled himself from the net, carefully, folded it, and returned it to Clitus. |
10 |
| 19 | 14 |
Clitus varied such things from match to match, which made it difficult to anticipate, and thus compensate for, his moves. |
10 |
| 19 | 16 |
Sometimes I had seen Clitus use the net as a distraction, preparing for a thrust of the trident. |
10 |
| 19 | 34 |
"New ships, with merchants and their goods, still arrive each Ahn," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 19 | 40 |
Thurnock and Clitus reacted, exchanging quick, apprehensive glances. |
10 |
| 19 | 45 |
"If the slave could read," said Clitus, "she was probably once of high caste". |
10 |
| 19 | 46 |
Clitus, like many Goreans, could not read. |
10 |
| 19 | 89 |
"Possibly of high caste," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 19 | 138 |
"Guardsmen," whispered Clitus. |
10 |
| 19 | 141 |
"I think not," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 19 | 143 |
"I do not know the uniform," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 19 | 150 |
"Let us take our leave," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 19 | 153 |
"Let us be on our way," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 19 | 197 |
"Aktis must walk with care," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 19 | 201 |
"Suppose he is successful," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 19 | 203 |
"I have not heard of these things," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 19 | 206 |
"But the guardsmen, or soldiers, were seeking Aktis," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 19 | 212 |
"To kill him?" asked Clitus. |
10 |
| 20 | 3 |
Clitus, Thurnock, and I were to one side, our backs to the canvas. |
10 |
| 20 | 162 |
Then only Aktis, Thurnock, Clitus, and I were left in the tent. |
10 |
| 22 | 4 |
He and Clitus lowered the large, inert, blanketed form, groaning and soaked with paga, to the sand beside the beached Tesephone, in our camp a pasang or so away from the harbor at Mytilene, near which the teeming streets of the fair were still lit by hundreds of torches. |
10 |
| 22 | 7 |
"When one lives at the edge of a cliff," said Clitus, "one should watch where one steps. |
10 |

We Entertain a Visitor, Near the Ruins of Nicosia "Few have come here to the ashes and cinders of Nicosia," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 23 | 4 |
"In the towns," said Clitus, "more is known from refugees than in the isolated villages themselves. |
10 |
| 23 | 12 |
"I wished I could have seen our 'Three Ubaras', in their contrived gowns, carefully soiled and rent, their ankles in water, apparently piteous and needful, waiting to be rescued, and not being rescued, their signals ignored," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 23 | 15 |
"Besides being hungry and thirsty," said Clitus, "they must eventually have been dismayed and frightened, fearing that something was askew, that they might have been overlooked, ignored, forgotten, or abandoned. |
10 |
| 23 | 41 |
"Someone comes," said Clitus, rising, trident in hand, loosening the strands of his net. |
10 |
| 23 | 50 |
"He seems unarmed," said Clitus. |
10 |
| 23 | 85 |
"It is unusual, as I understand it," said Clitus, "for attacks to take place on Thera". |
10 |
