Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
16	50	Marlenus and several men had entered the city, it seemed, but had been discovered—and sealed off in the very cylinder of the Home Stones—indeed, in that cylinder that had been his palace in the days of his glory.	10
19	33	The Cylinder of Justice was a lofty cylinder of pure white marble, the flat roof of which was some hundred yards in diameter.	10
3	235	We ascended a spiral staircase inside the cylinder and climbed for what must have been dozens of apartment levels.	10
3	236	At last we emerged on the flat roof of the cylinder.	10
3	253	One stroke of those wings would hurl me yards from the top of the cylinder.	10
3	254	The tarn dropped to the roof of the cylinder and regarded us with his bright black eyes.	10
3	280	Almost immediately from somewhere, perhaps from a ledge out of sight, rose a fantastic object, another giant tarn, even larger than the first, a glossy sable tarn which circled the cylinder once and then wheeled toward me, landing a few feet away, his talons striking on the roof with a sound like hu...	10
4	2	I seized it, using it like a puny stick, striking at the great snapping beak that was trying to seize me, as if I were a scrap of food on the high, flat plate of the cylinder's roof.	10
4	8	The tarn was circling the cylinder, uttering piercing cries; then he began to fly away from the city.	10
4	13	At last, with a wild cry of rage, the tarn returned to the cylinder.	10
4	56	In a dizzying minute or two we had passed the Older Tarl, to his amazement, and had settled again in a flurry of wings on the top of the cylinder from which we had departed a few minutes before.	10
4	93	There were shouts, and, rushing to the window, I saw several answering bolts leave the cylinder and fly in the direction of the retreating assailant, who was now almost half a pasang away and making good his escape.	10
5	9	As I passed the cylinder in which Torm kept his scrolls, I was happy to catch a glimpse of the little scribe standing at his rough-hewn window.	10
5	45	The Home Stone of Ar, like most Home Stones in the cylinder cities, was kept free on the tallest tower, as if in open defiance of the tarnsmen of rival cities.	10
5	54	Most significantly, while these members of the High Castes perform their portions of the ritual, the Guards of the Home Stone temporarily withdraw to the interior of the cylinder, leaving the celebrant, it is said, alone with the Priest-Kings.	10
5	56	The member of the Ubar's family then prays to the Priest-Kings for an abundant harvest and returns to the interior of the cylinder, at which point the Guards of the Home Stone resume their vigil.	10
5	59	According to the plan of the Council of Ko-ro-ba, exactly at the time of the sacrifice, at the twentieth Gorean hour, or midnight, I was to drop to the roof of the highest cylinder in Ar, slay the daughter of the Ubar, and carry away her body and the Home Stone, discarding the former in the swamp co...	10
5	60	The girl, Sana, whom I carried on the saddle before me, would dress in the heavy robes and veils of the Ubar's daughter and return in her place to the interior of the cylinder.	10
5	129	Her white arm was lifted, and her blond hair was swept behind her on the windy roof of the cylinder.	10
6	1	Nar the Spider I had a little difficulty making out the tallest tower in Ar, the cylinder of the Ubar Marlenus.	10
6	20	As I descended, I saw the wide, round roof of the cylinder.	10
6	35	She struck at me and pursued me to the tarn, which was excitedly shaking his wings, preparing to forsake the tumultuous roof of the cylinder.	10
6	62	In the sickening instant of falling I realized I had not fastened my own saddle belt in the wild flight from the roof of the Ubar's cylinder.	10
8	151	I recalled the attempt on my life in the cylinder of my father, an attempt that would have been successful except for the alertness of the Older Tarl.	10
12	14	"The cylinder at Ko-ro-ba," I said.	10
15	191	"Strike for the Home Stones of those cities tributary to Ar—they are kept on the Central Cylinder.	10
16	51	Marlenus and his men apparently had command of the top floor and roof of the cylinder, but there was little hope he could use the Home Stones that now lay within his grasp.	10
16	53	Moreover, the ubiquitous tarn wire heavily netted in the area of the Central Cylinder would ward off any attempts at rescue, unless perhaps by a large force.	10
16	59	I was confident that there would be cisterns and canisters of water in the palace, and I supposed that Marlenus, as an enlightened precaution, in view of the unstable politics of Ar, would have outfitted his cylinder as a keep, laying in stores of food and missile weapons.	10
17	14	In addition to my own failures, I received no word from Kazrak, and reports from Ar on the stand of Marlenus in the Central Cylinder became obscure and contradictory.	10
17	15	As nearly as I could determine, he and his men had been overcome, and the height of the Central Cylinder was again in the hands of the Initiates.	10
18	1	In the Central Cylinder As the tarn climbed, I saw the camp of Pa-Kur, the ditches, the double walls of Ar with siege engines like leeches fastened to the inner wall, and, approaching the city, Pa-Kur's long lines of chanting garrison troops, the morning sun flashing on their metal, their march mea...	10
18	2	I thought of Marlenus who, if he survived, might be able to see much of the same sight from the arrow ports of the Central Cylinder.	10
18	46	"In the Central Cylinder," growled the man.	10
18	51	"What of the roof of the cylinder," I asked, "when the tarn wire is down?" "Marlenus will not escape," repeated the officer, adding in a surly tone, "unless he can fly".	10
18	54	"Where," I asked, "shall Pa-Kur take the daughter of the false Ubar to be executed?" The officer pointed to a distant cylinder.	10
18	55	"The Cylinder of Justice," he said.	10
18	57	The cylinder was white, a color Goreans often associate with impartiality.	10
18	62	I noted with repulsion that on the roof of the Cylinder of Justice there shimmered a public impaling spear of polished silver, some fifty feet high, gleaming, looking like a needle in the distance.	10
18	64	I had managed to bring down the tarn wire of Ar; I had learned that Marlenus still lived and held a portion of the Central Cylinder, and I had found out when and where the execution of Talena was supposed to take place.	10
18	124	Surely I was now beneath the Central Cylinder, and the embattled Marlenus and his men were somewhere above me, sealed off by the guardsmen of Ar.	10
18	125	At the top of a broad series of stairs I saw the door that must lead to the Central Cylinder and noted with satisfaction that its dimensions were large enough to permit the passage of a tarn.	10
18	128	I climbed the stairs that led to the portal into the cylinder, turned the valve, and as soon as the portal began to move, raced down to the tarn cot and swung open that barred gate which lay nearest the foot of the stairs.	10
18	140	The other tarns, poking out of the tarn cot, seemed to hesitate and then to notice the open door into the cylinder.	10
18	141	At that moment, to his own misfortune, a passing guardsman of Ar discovered the opened door that had mysteriously appeared in the wall of the first floor of the Central Cylinder.	10
18	148	The tarns, all of them, entered the cylinder, the palace of Marlenus.	10
18	156	Those who had survived had fled from the room, perhaps up the long, wide, circling stairwell that climbed the inside of the cylinder.	10
19	1	The Duel Marlenus and his men and I raced down the long stairs to the main hall of the Central Cylinder, where we came on the remains of the grisly feast of the tarns.	10
19	6	We led our tarns to one of the large circular ports of the cylinder.	10
19	7	I climbed to the saddle of my own sable beast and brought it soaring into the air beyond the cylinder.	10
19	9	In a minute we had attained the roof of the Central Cylinder and had all Ar and the surrounding countryside spread beneath us.	10
19	11	He swore violently when I told him of the proposed fate of Talena, yet refused to accompany me when I announced that I would attack the Cylinder of Justice.	10
19	24	None left the roof of the cylinder to seek his safety beyond the city.	10
19	29	I brought the tarn to flight and set its course for the Cylinder of Justice.	10
19	34	There were about two hundred people on the cylinder roof.	10
19	37	The high impaling post, normally visible on the top of the cylinder, had been lowered.	10
19	39	I was over the cylinder and dropping the tarn to its center.	10
19	43	The tarn's steel-shod talons struck the marble roof of the cylinder with a flash of sparks.	10
19	53	Instead I called out to the men of Ar on the cylinder.	10
19	73	Almost as if by magic, the men of Ar had separated themselves from the others on the cylinder.	10
19	93	Except for the wind, there was no sound on the great cylinder.	10
19	113	Not even a scream came from that fierce blue combustive mass that had been a human being, and in a minute the flame had departed, almost as quickly as it had come, and a dust of ashes scattered from the top of the cylinder in the wind.	10
19	119	The Initiates had vanished from the roof of the cylinder.	10
19	162	As we fought, the men of Ar, fighting brilliantly for their city, their honor and loved ones, pushed back the men of Pa-Kur again and again, but from the interior of the cylinder swarmed more men of the Assassin.	10
19	164	It was only a matter of time before the last of the men of Ar would be forced over the edge of the cylinder.	10
19	166	During this time Talena, though bound hand and foot, had struggled to her knees, and she watched us fight, her hair and the folds of her robe blown by the wind that whipped across the roof of the cylinder.	10
19	168	Suddenly there was a sound like thunder and a great shadow was cast across the roof of the cylinder, as if the sun had been obscured by clouds.	10
19	184	Kazrak's tarn had alighted on the roof of the cylinder, and a moment afterward my father's and perhaps fifty others.	10
19	193	As we fought and I forced him back step by step toward the edge of the lofty marble cylinder, I said calmly, "I can kill you".	10
19	209	I walked slowly to the edge of the cylinder.	10
19	210	There was only the sheer wall of the cylinder, broken once by a tarn perch some twenty feet below.	10
20	19	Oddly enough, the body of Pa-Kur himself was never recovered from the foot of the Cylinder of Justice.	10

26	20	These poor creatures were hunted from cylinder to cylinder, from room to room.	10
2	48	This love of their city tends to become invested in a stone which is known as the Home Stone, and which is normally kept in the highest cylinder in a city.	10
2	63	This blade had fought its way up the stairs of the Central Cylinder of Ar, when I had rescued Marlenus, embattled Ubar of that city.	10
2	64	It had crossed with that of Pa-Kur, master assassin, on the roof of Ar's Cylinder of Justice, when I had fought for my love, Talena.	10
4	47	By now it seemed to me that I should be able to see the lights of the cylinder city of Ko-ro-ba.	10
5	11	I longed for my city, and for my father, the magnificent Matthew Cabot, once Ubar, now Administrator of Ko-ro-ba, and for my friends, the proud Older Tarl, my master-at-arms, and Torm, the cheerful, grumbling little scribe who regarded even sleep and food as part of a conspiracy to separate him from...	10
5	86	"On the Cylinder of Justice I fought with you against Pa-Kur and his assassins".	10
6	64	I had seen a man die the Flame Death, the High Initiate of Ar on the summit of Ar's Cylinder of Justice, consumed in the sudden burst of blue fire that bespoke the displeasure of the Priest-Kings.	10
8	59	They were scarcely distinguishable from one another, an aggregate of grays and browns, so different from the thousand gay colors that gleamed in most cities, where each cylinder in towering splendor lodged its claim to be the bravest and most beautiful of all.	10
9	14	He turned on his heel and still clinging to the railing on the bridge scurried to the threshold of the cylinder, his comrade before him.	10
9	28	"Welcome to Tharna!" he said, and fled across the bridge and into the cylinder.	10
9	32	I left the bridge, and descended through the spiral stairwell of the cylinder, soon finding myself on the streets again.	10
9	64	* * * * In wandering through the streets, I came at last to a squat portal in the wall of a cylinder.	10
25	70	Its ratlike scamper was incomprehensibly swift and almost before I could set myself for its charge it had crossed the cylinder roof in two or three bounds and pounced to seize me in its bared fangs.	10
25	154	Perhaps she might be purchased for the scullery in a Gorean cylinder and discover her life to be bounded by the tile walls and the steam and soap of the cleaning tubs.	10

20	62	In the cylinder, save for her head which was held in place by a circular opening in the top of the cylinder, was a girl, clad in the traditional robes of concealment, even to the veil, whose gloved hands pressed helplessly against the interior of the cylinder.	10
16	80	I had once seen a man die the Flame Death, the High Initiate of Ar, on the roof of Ar's Cylinder of Justice.	10
20	60	On the disk there was mounted a narrow, closed cylinder of transparent plastic.	10
20	88	One of them climbed onto the disk beside the plastic cylinder.	10
20	91	She gave a long, frantic, terrified, wild scream and squirmed about in the cylinder, her small gloved fists striking futilely at the strong, curved plastic walls that confined her.	10
20	93	She trembled in the cylinder, pressing her small hands against it, and wept.	10
20	99	While the globe did its work, and held the girl's head in place, the attendant at the cylinder unlocked the five latches which held it shut and swung it open.	10
20	100	Swiftly and efficiently he placed her wrists in retaining devices mounted in the cylinder and, with a small, curved knife, removed her clothing, which he cast aside.	10
20	115	He then sprung her wrists free of the retaining devices and reclosed the plastic cylinder, locking her inside once again.	10
20	120	As well as she could, sobbing and trembling, the girl looked downward through the transparent top of the plastic cylinder and regarded herself.	10
20	137	Obediently the attendant on the disk lightly jumped down and began to push the disk and its cylinder from the room.	10
20	138	As it passed from the chamber, followed by the attendant who had operated the wall panel, I could see the dazed, confused girl, sobbing and in pain, trying to reach the collar through the plastic of the cylinder's top.	10
32	323	Parp stood framed in the doorway holding that tiny silver lighter with which it seemed I had seen him fumble and light his pipe a thousand times, that small cylinder I had once mistaken for a weapon.	10

5	15	In a girl's collar lock there would be either six pins or six disks, one each, it is said, for each letter in the Gorean word for female slave, Kajira; the male slave, or Kajirus, seldom has a locked collar; normally a band of iron is simply hammered about his neck; often he works in chains, usually...	10

7	145	Each was marked and sealed, but in each, at two points, there were valve openings, through which in flight I supposed two tubes might pass, one perhaps for oxygen and another gas used to sedate the occupant, and one to draw the carbon dioxide from the cylinder.	10

8	107	Elizabeth led me to a room off a kitchen on the third floor of the cylinder.	10

9	18	The House of Cernus, which is a broad, many-storied cylinder, has a number of facilities which any large slave house must have.	10
10	32	On the way down the stairs to the lower portions of the cylinder, several floors of which, incidentally, are below ground level, we passed the office of Caprus.	10
11	2	In the cylinder there are several varieties of retention areas, ranging from the luxuriousness of the cell shown to me earlier by Ho-Tu, in which Cernus was accustomed to keep Special Captures, to the iron pens.	10
12	144	There were various races to follow but the afternoon sun was now below the roof of the central cylinder in the distance and I decided to leave the races.	10

13	10	On the roof of the Cylinder of Initiates the High Initiate, Complicius Serenus, offered sacrifices and prayers for the speedy return of the girl and, failing that, that she might be found slain, that she might not be reduced to the shames of slavery.	10

24	215	"That you may be kept locked in a compartment of the Central Cylinder, not as slave but prisoner, a high-born woman, to be mated in the future as best accords with the politics of Ar, as I see fit?" There were tears in her eyes.	10

24	487	"I will file the papers in the Cylinder of Documents," said Hup.	10

13	4	It is at any rate her most famous, if not busiest, avenue, and it gives access to the park of the Central Cylinder, which edifice is itself, of course, located within the park of that name.	10

22	503	Could she bear a message from someone in the Central Cylinder, say, from one of the many free women in the entourage of even the Ubara? Too, they may have remembered her from the theater, and from Aulus.	10
23	68	We then walked away, across the park and thence across the Avenue of the Central Cylinder.	10
23	87	"Surely you remember his recounting of his powers? Surely you remember him asking if I wished the Central Cylinder moved, if I wished the walls of Ar rebuilt overnight, if I wished a thousand tarns tamed in one afternoon!" "Yes," I said.	10
23	90	"Perhaps you should have asked for the Central Cylinder to be moved, instead," I said.	10
23	91	"Purloining the Home Stone would be child's play," he said, "compared to moving the Central Cylinder".	10
23	98	"He only asked you if you wished the Central Cylinder moved, and such things.	10
23	103	"It is obviously one thing for him to find out if you wished to have the Central Cylinder moved, and quite another for him to move it".	10
25	489	"As this was the morning of the putative assignation, I supposed it might be a disguise prescribed by her Mistress, that the curious, if they saw her in this neighborhood, would not be likely to link her with the Central Cylinder".	10
26	55	"You will never believe the difficulty I had in escaping from the Central Cylinder!" she said.	10

27	625	"I will be in the Central Cylinder!" she said.	10
27	712	"Although this doubtless does not compare with the provender of the Central Cylinder," I said, "which is reputed the best this side of the palace at Telnus, it is such that you should not come to expect it as a slave".	10
27	868	"Besides," I said, "it amuses me to think of you in the Central Cylinder".	10
27	1072	"No!" "And what good would you be in a paga tavern, or brothel, if the slave fires were not ignited in your belly?" "I shall be safe in the Central Cylinder," she said, "surrounded by walls, ringed by guards!" "Perhaps after I come to collect you," I said, "I will rent you to a brothel, perhaps one ...	10
