10 507 It struck my body and fell before me, to the rug, at the foot of the dais.

10
10 576 I returned then to the foot of the dais, to stand there before Hendow, of the tavern of Hendow, on Dock Street, in Brundisium.
Details
10
10 603 He stood on the dais, looming above me.
Details
10
10 606 He then descended from the dais, and stood near me.
Details
10
10 621 He had indicated the second step leading to the height of the dais.
Details
10
10 775 "Kneel at the foot of the dais," he said.
Details
10
10 781 He retrieved the whip and ascended to the height of the dais, where he took his place in the great chair.
Details
10
10 858 Quickly I fell to my knees before Hendow, he in the great chair on the dais, and put my head to the carpet, the palms of my hands, too, on the carpet, beside my head, performing slave obeisance.
Details
10
10 861 Mirus looked back to the dais.

10
14 1 Punishment I knelt on the rug at the foot of the dais, that surmounted by the curule chair of my master, Hendow, of Brundisium.
Details
10
14 16 I climbed the broad, carpeted steps of the dais, and knelt before him.
Details
10
14 27 "You may now return to the foot of the dais, and stand," he said.
Details
10
14 28 I backed down, my head down, to the foot of the dais, and then stood there, erect and graceful before my master, as would be expected of a female slave.
Details
10
14 38 Standing as I was, and at the foot of the dais, I feared he would have little difficulty in reading my body.
Details
10
14 262 I stood before him, at the foot of the carpeted dais, naked, in my collar.

10
14 305 I removed the whip from the box and rose to my feet, and returned to the dais, where I climbed the stairs and knelt before Hendow.

9 7 Talena, with certain aides and counselors, and guardsmen and scribes, was on a dais, it mounted on the surface of the platform, a few feet away, rather to its left, as one would face it.

9 72 A guardsman, on the surface of the platform, before the dais, draped the robe of the penitent about the shoulders of the woman before Talena.

9 152 As I have mentioned, there were scribes on, or near, the dais with Talena.

9 567 Another woman, similarly, later, whom Talena seemed prepared to dismiss, she reconsidered and selected, apparently at the request or suggestion of one of the Cosians on the dais.
Details
10
9 786 In a few moments the dais, and then the platform, was cleared.
Details
10
28 58 I wondered if she would be uneasy, or perhaps even terrified, realizing the folly in which she was now enmeshed, daring to ascend the dais, not to lie on its steps as a half naked slave, collared, at a Ubar's feet, an item of display, but to sit upon the throne itself.

11 254 I looked up at him, the palms of my hands on the first step of the dais, my knees on the flagging below the dais.

10
42 125 It is they who decide on which step of the dais, so to speak, we may kneel, or even if we may approach the dais at all.
Details
10
11 9 At the far side of the large area, away from the door, near the outer circumference of the circle, was a stone dais, reached by some three steps, on the top of which was a thronelike chair.
Details
10
11 13 There were only a few individuals on the terrace, and these were on, or near, the dais.
Details
10
11 18 Perhaps he had received some sign from the dais to do so.
Details
10
11 45 I then stood some fifty feet, or so, before the dais.
Details
10
11 57 I was sure that he had commented favorably concerning me to his fellow on the dais.
Details
10
11 89 I could not move! The beast, descending lightly from the dais, had bounded toward me.
Details
10
11 108 "Come closer," invited the man on the dais.
Details
10
11 109 I stopped, warned by his eyes, a few feet before the dais.
Details
10
11 141 I then lay before the dais, supine, gasping for breath, covered with sweat, even in the coolness of the elevation and wind.
Details
10
11 153 I lay before the dais, trembling.
Details
10
11 158 This decision, I had sensed, had been welcomed by those about the dais, with doubtless one exception.
Details
10
11 170 She put the pan down, on the stone flagging, before the dais, a bit to the right of its center, as I faced it.
Details
10
11 200 Then the man who had been behind me had ascended the dais.
Details
10
11 207 I was only a kajira, feeding at the foot of the dais.

10
11 233 He regarded me, and I looked up at him, from all fours, from the floor below the dais.

11 253 The next tidbit of meat he tossed to the first step of the dais, where I retrieved it.

11 259 I crawled to the floor of the dais and put down my head and picked up the bit of meat.

10
11 398 In order that the matter be lost on no one, the occupant of the chair, of the last three pieces of meat, casting each to the floor of the dais, cast the first to the six-legged beast, which lapped it up instantly with its tongue, scarcely a scrap to such a maw, the second to me and the third to Dorn...

11 399 Dorna and I, then, on all fours, from where we had retrieved that largesse which had been granted to us, cast to the floor of the dais, looked up at he who occupied the chair.

10
11 423 "Return to the foot of the dais, and stand," said the man in the chair.
Details
10
11 424 I backed down the steps of the dais, on all fours, and then, at its foot, rose to my feet.
Details
10
11 427 Dorna, angrily, descended the steps of the dais behind the thronelike chair and went again to the table beneath the roofed defense work.
Details
10
11 447 Who needed to look upon her? I stood naked before the dais, and looked up at he who sat in the thronelike chair.
Details
10
11 586 In a moment or two Dorna had returned to the dais with a collar.
Details
10
11 591 She then showed the collar to others about the dais.
Details
10
11 600 She then hurried back to the dais and the man in the chair opened the collar and slipped off the keys and string.
Details
10
11 601 He handed the keys to one of the fellows near the dais.
Details
10
11 604 The collar was then returned to Dorna and she came down the steps of the dais and stood near me, where I knelt.
Details
10
11 644 I was naked on all fours, before the dais, on a barbaric world, a collared slave girl.
Details
10
11 758 Then I cried out as the jailer pulled me up to all fours by the hair and then, his fist in my hair, hurried me back to the dais.
Details
10
11 759 I was now on all fours, at the foot of the dais.

11 842 I lay before the dais.

11 975 Dorna turned about and hurried up the steps of the dais.

10
11 995 She returned both hands to my hair and held my head back, forcibly, cruelly, before the dais.
Details
10
11 1040 He pointed to the floor of the dais, before the chair.
Details
10
11 1051 "No!" She leaped to her feet and turned about, fleeing, stumbling down the steps of the dais and then, at its foot, half bent over, turned about, facing the man in the chair.
Details
10
11 1077 I was frightened, kneeling before the dais.
Details
10
11 1104 At this Dorna turned white and flung herself to her knees at the foot of the dais.
Details
10
11 1108 She looked small, and piteous, and female, at the foot of the dais.

11 1145 "No! No!" She suddenly, wildly, crawled up the steps of the dais, and flung herself to her belly before the man in the chair.

11 1450 It was strange to be kneeling so conspicuously before the dais, but neglected.

11 1529 In an instant, with rapid steps, sure-footedly, the jailer had reached me, lifted me up, turned about and returned me, trembling, wild-eyed, to the foot of the dais.
Details
10
11 1557 I was then carried down from the wall and deposited, again, before the dais.
Details
10
11 1731 I lay there before the dais, helpless, but now, apparently, quite safe.
Details
10
11 1777 I struggled to my knees and knelt before the dais.
