Dorna

Book 2. (81 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
24 189 "Dorna the Proud wears a necklace of fifty silver tarn disks!" "Dorna the Proud is bold indeed," I cried, "to flaunt the very coins whereby her rival—your true Tatrix—was delivered into the chains of a slave girl!" There was a mutter of indignation, some angry shouts from the barricade...
Details
10
11 54 "Does the law of Tharna not give it the right to speak, Dorna the Proud, Second in Tharna?" asked the Tatrix, whose voice, too, was imperious and cold, yet pleased me more than the tones of she who wore the silver mask.
Details
10
11 55 "Does the law recognize beasts?" asked the woman whose name was Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
11 56 It was almost as if she challenged her Tatrix, and I wondered if Dorna the Proud was content to be Second in Tharna.
Details
10
11 58 The Tatrix did not choose to respond to Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
11 68 "You are a slave!" hissed Dorna the Proud from behind that expressionless mask.
Details
10
11 72 "No, Beloved Tatrix," said Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
11 91 I thought Dorna the Proud stirred uneasily in the curule chair.
Details
10
11 117 "Strength is the attribute of beasts," said Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
11 143 "To the urt with him!" sneered Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
11 151 Only the Tatrix herself and Dorna the Proud sat straight.
Details
10
11 171 "What think you, Dorna the Proud?" asked Lara of she who was Second in Tharna.
Details
10
11 172 But instead of answering, Dorna the Proud seemed strangely silent.
Details
10
11 174 "Mercy, Great Dorna!" screamed Ost.
Details
10
11 175 Dorna repeated the gesture, slowly, cruelly.
Details
10
11 213 "A Tatrix must be cruel," said Dorna.
Details
10
11 215 Dorna stiffened at the rebuff.
Details
10
11 246 "Bloody the yoke," urged Dorna.
Details
10
13 61 As he examined my yoke and chain, he said, "Dorna the Proud has wagered a hundred golden tarn disks on this block.
Details
10
13 137 Beside her I saw the silver mask of Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
13 138 "Slay him," said Dorna the Proud, gesturing to the unconscious Kron.
Details
10
14 137 I heard, too, the voice of Dorna the Proud urging the warriors to their task.
Details
10
16 29 It was Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
16 31 Dorna stopped, about five yards in advance of Thorn and the two warriors, who had not moved at all.
Details
10
16 32 The Tatrix acknowledged the salutation of Dorna the Proud with merely a regal nod of her head.
Details
10
16 33 "All Tharna is yours, Warrior," cried Dorna the Proud, "if you but relinquish our noble Tatrix! The city weeps for her return! I fear there will be no more joy in Tharna until she sits again upon her golden throne!" I laughed.
Details
10
16 34 Dorna the Proud stiffened.
Details
10
16 38 "Is that all?" asked Dorna the Proud, puzzled.
Details
10
16 41 Dorna glanced at the Tatrix.
Details
10
16 43 "Indeed, Warrior," said Dorna.
Details
10
16 46 "Less," said Dorna the Proud, "would insult our Beloved Tatrix".
Details
10
16 51 Dorna the Proud bowed in gracious acquiescence.
Details
10
16 54 "Yes," I said, sensing the affront that had been offered to Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
16 65 She turned and walked majestically to Dorna and the warriors.
Details
10
16 81 The Tatrix and Dorna the Proud screamed.
Details
10
16 88 In that moment both the Tatrix and Dorna the Proud plunged sharp instruments, pins of some sort, into my back and arm.
Details
10
16 95 I heard Dorna the Proud say, "Kill the tarn".
Details
10
16 107 The Tatrix had apparently lost interest in me, for she turned to Dorna the Proud and Thorn, Captain of Tharna.
Details
10
16 110 Haughtily the Tatrix addressed Dorna and Thorn.
Details
10
16 114 Neither Dorna the Proud, nor Thorn, Captain of Tharna, answered her.
Details
10
16 118 The voice of Dorna the Proud drifted across the pillar.
Details
10
16 122 "Because," said Dorna the Proud, and I could tell that behind that silver mask, she smiled, "you are not going back to Tharna".
Details
10
18 14 "Dorna the Proud," said the slave, who tumbled onions, turnips, radishes, potatoes and bread into the feed trough.
Details
10
18 39 "Two of those who are highest in Tharna, Dorna the Proud, and Thorn, a Captain, went to the Pillar of Exchanges, but the Tatrix was never returned.
Details
10
18 41 Only her tattered robes and the mask of gold were found, by Dorna the Proud and Thorn, Captain of Tharna".
Details
10
18 43 "Now," said he, "Dorna wears the mask".
Details
10
20 49 I wondered what vengeance would have satisfied the hatred borne to Lara, the Tatrix, by Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
20 52 I knew the hatred of men is but a feeble thing compared to the hatred of women, and I wondered how much it would take to slake the thirst for vengeance of such a woman as Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
23 154 "No," I said, "you fought for Dorna the Proud, pretender to the throne of Tharna—a usurper and traitress".
Details
10
23 164 There I was seized by Dorna the Proud and Thorn, her accomplice, and sold into slavery.
Details
10
23 166 "I fought for Dorna the Proud," said the boy.
Details
10
24 131 It was clear to the defenders of the palace, which formed the major bastion of Dorna's challenged regime, that the issue would be decided that day and by the sword.
Details
10
24 154 If Dorna the Proud had ruled upon that rampart rather than Thorn, a Captain, and a member of my own caste, I was certain that a bolt from some crossbow would have pierced my body without warning.
Details
10
24 155 When at last I stood unslain on the black cobblestones at the foot of the double rampart I knew that though Dorna the Proud might rule in Tharna, though it might be she who sat upon the golden throne of the city, that it was the word of a warrior that ruled on those ramparts above me.
Details
10
24 168 And I ask it in the name of the codes of your own caste, for your swords are pledged to the true Tatrix—Lara—not Dorna the Proud!" I could sense the reaction of the men behind the rampart.
Details
10
24 171 Dorna is Tatrix of Tharna".
Details
10
24 186 "I returned this girl—your Tatrix—to the Pillar of Exchanges where I gave her into the hands of Thorn, this Captain, and Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
24 187 Then treacherously I was set upon and sent to the Mines of Tharna, and Dorna the Proud and Thorn, this Captain, seized Lara, your Tatrix, and sold her into slavery—sold her to the slaver Targo, whose camp is now at the Fair of En'Kara, sold her for the sum of fifty silver tarn disks!" "What h...
Details
10
24 196 "He wanted to protect the secret of his plan to abduct the Tatrix and put Dorna the Proud upon her throne".
Details
10
25 31 I had not known that a woman such as Dorna the Proud could have cared for a man.
Details
10
25 34 "I think not," I said, wondering, "and you, Dorna the Proud, are now my prisoner".
Details
10
25 36 At the side of Thorn knelt not Dorna the Proud, but the girl Vera of Ko-ro-ba, who had been his slave.
Details
10
25 38 Dorna the Proud has made good her escape".
Details
10
25 47 "This is not Dorna the Proud but Vera of Ko-ro-ba, who was the slave of Thorn".
Details
10
25 48 "Where is Dorna?" demanded Kron.
Details
10
25 67 Inside the basket was a woman whose carriage and figure I knew to be that of Dorna the Proud, though she now wore only a simple silver mask of Tharna.
Details
10
25 109 Then Dorna the Proud looked at me those yards across the roof.
Details
10
25 115 It did not seem it could have been a matter of caste obligation for this obligation had been owed not to Dorna but to Lara.
Details
10
25 116 He had broken the codes of his caste to support the treachery of Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
25 120 "Surrender," I called to Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
25 123 I knew that Dorna would have little chance alone on Gor.
Details
10
25 127 Dorna threw back her head and laughed.
Details
10
25 131 I looked behind me and I could see that Lara now stood near, watching Dorna, and that behind her Kron and Andreas, followed by Linna, and rebels and soldiers, had ascended to the roof.
Details
10
25 132 The silver mask of Dorna the Proud turned on Lara, who wore no mask, no veil.
Details
10
25 134 "I sensed this in you," said Dorna.
Details
10
25 140 The body of Dorna the Proud recoiled as if struck by five blows.
Details
10
25 144 "Do not forget Dorna the Proud, for we have an account to settle!" The hands in their gloves of silver jerked back savagely on the one-strap and the wings of the tarn burst into flight.
Details
10
25 149 Dorna the Proud, thanks to the sacrifice of Thorn, her captain, had made good her escape, though to what fate I dared not conjecture.
Details
10
25 158 If this miserable fate were to be hers, the imperious Dorna the Proud, stripped and sweating, her back exposed to the ox whip, would learn in harness that a peasant is a hard master.
Details
10
25 159 But I put from my mind these thoughts as to what might be the fate of Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
26 17 As she ascended once more the throne no proscription notices were posted but a general amnesty was granted to all, both those who had espoused her cause and those who had fought for Dorna the Proud.

Book 6. (65 results) Raiders of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
14 189 We saw the ship ahead of us trying to come about, but, before she could make four points of the Gorean compass, our ram struck the corner of her stern, skidding through and freeing itself, the ships, the Dorna's port oars inboard, grating together, and then the Dorna was clear, free, and we were dri...

10
13 520 It was, accordingly, no accident that I, Bosk, from the marshes, in the Fifth Passage Hand of the year 10,120 from the founding of the city of Ar, four months after the unsuccessful coup of Henrius Sevarius in the city of Port Kar, stood admiral on the stern castle of my flagship, the Dorna of Tharn...
Details
10
14 2 The Dorna, a tarn ship, is not untypical of her class.
Details
10
14 6 The Dorna, like most other tarn ships, is single-banked; and yet her oar power is not inferior to even the trebly-banked vessels; how this is I shall soon note.
Details
10
14 7 The Dorna, like most tarn ships, is a long, narrow vessel of shallow draft.
Details
10
14 16 The Dorna's ram, a heavy projection in the shape of a tarn's beak, shod with iron, rides just below the water line.
Details
10
14 20 The bow of the Dorna is concave, sloping down to meet the ram.
Details
10
14 24 Tarn ships are painted in a variety of colors; the Dorna, of course, was green.
Details
10
14 25 Besides her stem and stern castles the Dorna carried two movable turrets amidships, each about twenty feet high.
Details
10
14 32 Although the Dorna's true beam is sixteen feet Gorean, her deck width is twenty-one feet Gorean, due to the long rectangular rowing frame, which carries the thole ports; the rowing frame is slightly higher than the deck area and extends beyond it, two and one half feet Gorean on each side; it is sup...
Details
10
14 39 The Dorna used oars of varying lengths; her oars, like those of many tarn ships, varied by about one and one-half foot Gorean, oar to oar; the most inboard oar being the longest; the outboard oar being the shortest.
Details
10
14 52 The Dorna carried twenty groups of three to a side, and so used one hundred and twenty oarsmen.
Details
10
14 64 At any rate, whatever the reasons or rationale, the single-banked tarn ship, of which the Dorna is an example, is the dominant type on Thassa.
Details
10
14 93 From the stern castle of the Dorna, then, with a long glass, that of the builders, I observed, far across the waters, the masts of the ram-ships, one by one, lowering.
Details
10
14 131 The Dorna had now come about and, at half beat, was moving southeast, directly away from the pursuing ships.
Details
10
14 134 These twelve ships, including the Dorna, incidentally, were my swiftest.
Details
10
14 174 I had little doubt the Dorna was swifter than the ship that had pursued her.
Details
10
14 179 The iron-shod ram of the Dorna splintered into her stern a foot below the water line.
Details
10
14 180 "Back oars!" came the cry from the oar-master, and the Dorna, rocking and shuddering from the impact, chopped her way backward.
Details
10
14 210 When I saw the tarn ship ahead, its captain doubtless confident of his speeds and distances, lift her oars, preparing to come about, I called to the oar-master, "Now!" Without the loss of a stroke he, at the center of the rowing frame, began to call maximum beat, "Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!" The Dorna,...
Details
10
14 212 Angrily the Dorna shook herself loose.
Details
10
14 234 "She carries one hundred and thirty-two oars," he said, "but she is a heavier ship, and her lines are not as good as those of the Dorna".
Details
10
14 246 The two tarn ships, the Dorna and the other, faced one another, motionless, save for their response to the swells of Thassa.
Details
10
14 250 I had little doubt that the Dorna, a somewhat lighter ship, with better lines and shorter keel, would be more responsive to her helm than the other ship and that, sooner or later, as the circles grew smaller, she would be able to wheel and take her foe in the stern quarter or amidships.
Details
10
14 258 I had proved the Dorna, and her oar-master.
Details
10
14 298 I ordered the mast raised on the Dorna.
Details
10
14 320 There was a cheer from the men on the deck of the Dorna.
Details
10
14 330 The Dorna, by contrast, carried a free crew of two hundred and fifteen men, most of whom were well trained with weapons.
Details
10
14 331 In an Ahn I stepped across the plank thrown from the rail of the Dorna to that of the flagship of the treasure fleet.
Details
10
14 407 "Take then those that were with her," I said, "and distribute them to the extent of their number among our other ships, the twenty most beautiful to our twenty tarn ships now with the fleet, and the most beautiful of that twenty to the prow of the Dorna, and the other twenty set at the prows of twen...
Details
10
14 471 The Dorna, for the time, will remain here.
Details
10
14 472 The seventeen ships are not to enter battle unless accompanied by the Dorna, and under no conditions, if battle ensues, are any of my ships to move more than four pasangs from the fleet".
Details
10
14 473 "Yes, Captain," roared Thurnock, turning and crossing on the plank to the deck of the Dorna, then taking his way to the shielded flag racks at the foot of her stem castle.
Details
10
14 477 Men sat ready at the oars of the Dorna, should I come aboard her.
Details
10
14 478 Others, with axes, stood ready to chop away the lines that now bound the Dorna to the flagship.
Details
10
14 482 If they came within two pasangs, I would board the Dorna.
Details
10
15 15 The ships, in a splendid, long line, filing behind me, the Dorna first, then the tarn ships, then the round ships, under oars, moved slowly through the city, following the triumphal circuit of the great canal, passing even before the chamber of the Council of Captains.
Details
10
15 35 Had there ever been triumph such as this in Port Kar? I brought with me fifty-nine ships: the flagship of the treasure fleet, Vivina bound at its prow, the Dorna, the other twenty-nine ships which had composed my original fleet, and, as prizes, laden with wealth which might have been the ransom of c...

10
15 36 And bound at the prow of the first forty ships, following the flagship, beginning with the Dorna, and then the tarn ships and the first ten and largest of the captured round ships, was a high-born beauty, once intended to be the maiden of Cos' Ubara, now, like herself, destined only for the brand an...
Details
10
17 1 How Bosk Conducted the Affairs of Port Kar Upon Thassa I stood in the swaying basket at the height of the mast of the Dorna, the glass of the builders in hand.
Details
10
17 18 I snapped shut the glass of the builders and descended the narrow rope ladder to the deck of the Dorna.
Details
10
17 24 I strode to the stern castle of the Dorna.
Details
10
17 30 The Dorna was thus leading a relatively close formation of sixteen tarn ships.
Details
10
17 42 I recalled the Dorna, under similar circumstances, had done great damage.
Details
10
17 54 The Dorna dropped back.
Details
10
17 88 The Dorna rested, rocking on the waters, her oars inboard.
Details
10
17 89 I kept in reserve fifty-five tarn ships, which, simultaneously with the fifth wave, that of the flanking fleets, would draw within signal distance of the Dorna.
Details
10
17 109 The wind was very cold now, and the Dorna shook in it, the windward waters striking at her hull.
Details
10
17 158 "Look!" The voice came from a seaman, he, too, with a glass, high on the prow of the Dorna.
Details
10
17 175 Astern of the Dorna, not hurrying, at half beat, came fifty tarn ships, their masts high, storm sails bound to their long, sloping yards.
Details
10
17 178 And simultaneously with the initiation of the pincers attack the balance of my fleet, the reserves, fifty-five tarn ships, should draw within signal distance of the Dorna.
Details
10
17 193 * * * * For better than three Ahn I had sat in the basket at the masthead of the Dorna, whipped by the wind, my fingers numb on the glass of the builders, observing the battle.
Details
10
17 208 The Dorna fought her anchors.
Details
10
17 214 I could see, now, approaching the Dorna, from the east, the reserves, the fifty-five tarn ships, and the ten wide-beamed round ships, lumber ships from the arsenal, whose cargoes were unknown even to my highest officers.
Details
10
17 216 The command ship of the reserves heaved to within hailing distance of the Dorna.
Details
10
17 242 I leaped from the ladder to the deck of the Dorna and waved my hand to Antisthenes, some hundred yards away on the stern castle of the command ship of the reserves.
Details
10
18 1 How Bosk Returned to His House When we struck the icy, wind-driven decks of the Dorna my men rose at their benches and, cheering, waved their caps.
Details
10
18 13 The Dorna now heaved and pitched like a snared sleen.
Details
10
18 17 I did not think the Dorna would long live in such a sea unless she might run before it.
Details
10
18 21 I stood on the icy, wind-struck deck of the Dorna, my back turned to the storm.
Details
10
18 41 The Dorna knifed ahead, leaping between the waves that rose towering on either side.
Details
10
18 56 And so, then, I asked myself, might we not then sing for them, and for ourselves as well, and could there not be, in some way that was hard to understand, but good, truth in songs? I went to the tarn that I had ridden back to the Dorna.
Details
10
18 117 How else, I asked myself, had he been able to take an oar on the longboat in the canals when I had gone to the hall of the Council of Captains, or been able to board the Dorna, or taken his place in the longboat that had ferried me to the round ship? I, too, was not unfond of the boy.
Details
10
18 132 In a few moments the tarn spread his wings before the black wind and, caught in the blast, was hurled before the Dorna, and began, in dizzying circles, to climb in the wind and sleet.
Details
10
18 134 Far below I saw the Dorna, lifting and falling in the troughs of the waves, and, separated from her, the ships of the fleet, round ships and tarn ships, storm sails set, oars dipping, flying before the storm.

Details
10
11 208 "Lick the pan," said Dorna.

11 213 But I could set myself to please the men! Take away her switch! Let us compete as equals! "Lift your head," said Dorna.

10
11 216 Dorna, with an angry swirl of her silks, spun away, to return to the small table under the roofed defense work.
Details
10
11 231 But are not such, in the final analysis, owned every bit as much as we? And is not one man's high slave no more to another than the least of his bond maids, laboring shackled in his stables, her use a perquisite for rude grooms, and is it not the case that even for the very same man she who is this ...
Details
10
11 272 Dorna, the high slave, was a little before me, and to my right.
Details
10
11 298 "Do not concern yourself with her," said Dorna.
Details
10
11 311 "She has no status, even as a slave," said Dorna.
Details
10
11 316 "They are the coldest of the cold," said Dorna.
Details
10
11 325 "I have heard that of a slave named 'Dorna,'" said another.
Details
10
11 327 Dorna looked away, angrily.
Details
10
11 347 "They are all cold," insisted Dorna.
Details
10
11 359 "They are all meaningless, hot-bellied sluts!" said Dorna.
Details
10
11 362 "Slave belly!" snapped Dorna.
Details
10
11 364 "No," said Dorna.

10
11 369 "They are the lowest of the low!" said Dorna.

11 377 Dorna laughed.

11 387 "See her being fed by hand!" said Dorna to those about.

11 389 "Feed, little Earth beast!" laughed Dorna.
Details
10
11 390 Suddenly the occupant of the chair turned toward Dorna and regarded her.
Details
10
11 393 Then the proud Dorna knelt beside me and, putting forth her head, angrily, in fury, was fed as I.
Details
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...
Details
10
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.
Details
10
11 405 Dorna was regarding me with fury.
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
11 445 Dorna handed me the goblet.
Details
10
11 446 I could be every bit as good as a woman of this world, I was sure! I did not even look at Dorna.
Details
10
11 451 "Drink the wine, slut!" hissed Dorna.
Details

11 456 Let Dorna fear then for her place on a chain! I would happily, eagerly, compete with her for the privilege of kneeling before such men! I lifted the wine a little upward and toward the man in the chair.
Details
10
11 463 "Do not spill any," warned Dorna.
Details
10
11 465 "Hurry, slave," said Dorna.
Details
10
11 468 "Hurry," said Dorna.
Details
10
11 478 I looked again to Dorna, but she was merciless.
Details
10
11 483 Dorna swept the goblet from my hand and took it away.
Details
10
11 496 "There are various collars," said Dorna.
Details
10
11 502 Dorna wore a "common collar".
Details
10
11 504 "A used collar?" said Dorna.
Details
10
11 533 "Oh, no, Master," said Dorna, quickly.
Details
10
11 545 Dorna looked down at me, in fury.
Details
10
11 552 Dorna, I think, was not unaware of the fact that I fell well within the regard of him in the great chair.
Details
10
11 553 "You think that a collar with an Earth-girl name would be suitable?" he asked Dorna.
Details
10
11 583 "Yes, Master!" said Dorna, eagerly.
Details
10
11 586 In a moment or two Dorna had returned to the dais with a collar.
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
11 612 "Read it!" said Dorna, holding the collar before me.
Details
10
11 617 "Stupid illiterate slave!" said Dorna.
Details
10
11 625 "Down on all fours, slut," said Dorna to me.
Details
10
11 627 Dorna walked about me, in front of me, and handed the collar, opened, as it was, to the jailer, he who had brought me here, to the terrace.
Details
10
11 629 Dorna then crouched down, and, combing it a little with her fingers, brought my hair forward, before my shoulders.
Details
10
11 633 Dorna then rose to her feet and stood a bit before me and to my right.
Details
10
11 635 "She is," said Dorna.
Details
10
11 645 I heard Dorna laugh.
Details
10
11 648 Dorna turned away, angrily.
Details
10
11 662 Dorna laughed.
Details
10
11 776 Dorna laughed.
Details
10
11 796 "See the Earth slut!" said Dorna.
Details
10
11 798 "Listen to her!" laughed Dorna.
Details
10
11 808 Dorna made an angry noise.
Details
10
11 854 "How worthless she is!" said Dorna.
Details
10
11 922 "She is an Earth slut," said Dorna.
Details
10
11 941 "See the whipped slave!" laughed Dorna.
Details
10
11 944 "How are you, kajira?" inquired Dorna.
Details
10
11 946 "Do women kneel thusly, before masters, on your world?" inquired Dorna.
Details
10
11 948 "I do not know!" "Did you?" asked Dorna.
Details
10
11 954 "But now you do," said Dorna.
Details
10
11 972 "Earth slave!" sneered Dorna.
Details
10
11 975 Dorna turned about and hurried up the steps of the dais.
Details
10
11 979 "She is the lowest of the low, is she not! Master?" asked Dorna.
Details
10
11 981 Dorna then leaned down, confidentially to him, and whispered something.
Details
10
11 1012 "Excellent!" cried Dorna, releasing my hair and stepping away from me, looking down at me with triumph.
Details
10
11 1038 I regarded him, but he was looking at Dorna.
Details
10
11 1050 "No!" cried Dorna.
Details
10
11 1062 "I am Dorna," she said.
Details
10
11 1067 "Does Dorna want to go to the ring?" he asked.
Details
10
11 1070 "Dorna does not want to go to the ring," she whispered.
Details
10
11 1074 "Yes! Yes!" said Dorna.
Details
10
11 1078 Dorna and I were the only two women on the terrace.
Details
10
11 1080 "Please, no, Master!" said Dorna.
Details
10
11 1083 "No, Master!" cried Dorna.
Details
10
11 1087 "No, Master, please!" said Dorna.
Details
10
11 1096 "I will try to improve my behavior, Master!" "Does Dorna want to keep her silk?" he asked.
Details
10
11 1099 "Dorna wants to keep her silk!" she cried.
Details
10
11 1104 At this Dorna turned white and flung herself to her knees at the foot of the dais.
Details
10
11 1233 "Have my ears pierced, Master!" suddenly said Dorna.
Details
10
11 1240 "Let my beauty, if beauty it be," said she, "be enhanced with earrings!" There was laughter behind her, but Dorna paid no attention to it.
Details
10
11 1252 Dorna then, clearly, was not a state slave.
Details
10
11 1268 "Dorna begs to have her ears pierced," she said.
Details
10
11 1269 "Dorna, who is Master's humble and abject slave, begs to have her ears pierced".
Details
10
11 1270 "But it has already been decided," said he, "that Dorna will have her ears pierced".
Details
10
11 1272 "Dorna does not wish," said he, "to be returned to her former master?" "No, Master!" she said.
Details
10
11 1273 "What does Dorna wish?" asked he.
Details
10
11 1281 "See Dorna on her knees," said a man.
Details
10
11 1288 "I beg to be pleasing to Master," said Dorna.
Details
10
11 1289 "Hear Dorna begging to be pleasing to a man," said a man.
Details
10
11 1292 Doubtless Dorna could not have helped, on one level or another, to have been aware of the comments of the men.
Details
10
11 1316 "Take this slave away," he said, indicating Dorna.
Details
10
11 1319 "Slave," said he to Dorna, indicating a location near the wall, where a flat trap had now been thrown back, revealing a stairwell.
Details
10
11 1320 "Yes, Master," said Dorna to the man.
Details
10
11 1333 I did recall that he in the chair had speculated to Dorna, before his displeasure had been incurred, that she would not be displeased with my disposition.
Details
10
11 1337 Dorna was now no longer on the terrace.
Details
10
11 1346 But the matter is clear on this world, at least with women such as I, and she, Dorna.
Details
10
11 1438 I wondered if he in the chair might sometime, recalling me, have me sent to him, perhaps, as he had suggested with Dorna, in earrings and a single veil, if that.
Details
10
11 1485 Had not the female, Dorna, a high slave, clearly exhibited jealousy of me? Perhaps I would be first girl in the slave quarters.
Details
10
11 1594 Shortly thereafter the fellow who had conducted Dorna away, she preceding him with alacrity, returned to the terrace.
Details
10
11 1596 Seeing he who had conducted Dorna away I thought immediately of her.
Details
10
11 1624 "Dorna is now a pierced-ear girl?" asked he in the chair of the fellow who had returned to the terrace.
Details
10
11 1641 "Dorna," said he, "has been a slave longer than you so it is fitting that it would be her ears which would first be pierced".
Details
10
12 796 What would be done with me? I recalled that the man in the chair had speculated that Dorna, the high slave, would not be displeased with my disposition.
Details
10
16 550 I wondered where the slave, Dorna, was, whom I had met on the surface of the tower.
Details
10
24 385 She was the slave I had met long ago on the surface of one of the towers, she whose name was "Dorna".
Details
10
24 424 The slave, Dorna, may not even have seen them coming.
Details
10
24 442 "Oh!" cried the slave next to me, in pain, Dorna, kicked like a common slave, though she wore scarlet silk and a golden collar.
Details
10
24 452 Then I was flung angrily to my left side, and I fell there, on my chain, almost beside Dorna.
Details
10
24 484 Dorna lay where she was.
Details
10
24 533 Dorna still lay quite near me.
Details
10
24 537 I saw a heavy, bootlike sandal, the sort worn by warriors, which can sustain long marches over stony soils, which provides protection from the slash of coarse grasses and the strike of leech plants, nudge Dorna.
Details
10
24 539 Again the bootlike sandal moved against Dorna's body, prodding it.
Details
10
24 541 "Master?" whimpered Dorna, questioningly.
Details
10
24 544 He was not looking at me, but at Dorna, at his feet.
Details
10
24 556 "Have they gone?" whispered Dorna, frightened.
Details
10
24 591 "Master is bloodied," said Dorna.
Details
10
24 611 "Master?" asked Dorna.
Details
10
24 614 Dorna shuddered, it seemed, in relief.
Details
10
24 615 "And many," he said, "in receiving their death strokes, cried out 'Glory to Ar!'" Dorna was silent.
Details
10
24 619 "I do not understand," said Dorna.
Details
10
24 657 "Yes, Master," said Dorna.
Details
10
24 697 Dorna had lost no time in obeying.
Details
10
24 715 But then, as an option, might he not, under the same circumstances, and perhaps preferably, and perhaps more amusingly, see fit to return her to Tharna? Dorna, I was sure, would do her best to please her master.
Details
10
24 974 I thought of the slave girl, Dorna.
Details
10
29 91 So, too, I recalled, did Dorna.
Details
10
39 50 His brace of yellow-clad slaves, and Dorna, as well, had been sent, braceleted and coffled, as an evening's gift to one of the off-duty shifts of the wall guard.
Details
10
39 51 I did not think Dorna was much pleased with being coffled with the lesser slaves, or with being charged with the recreation of common soldiers.

8 862 "The Dorna! The Dorna!" I ran to the rail.

10
22 33 "I am Dorna, Dorna, of Tharna".
Details
10
24 228 Why would the Lady Dorna, a free woman, want to have an innocent slave cast to tharlarion? Was she angry that I had not revealed secrets to her, that Adraste was the former Lady Julia Leta, scion of a minor banking family, the Claudian Marcelliani, their house on Ar's Street of Coins? And why was it...

10
38 76 Dorna, Dorna the Proud, stood high in Tharna, was indeed the highest of the "Silver Masks," and was covetous of the Golden Mask, that of the Tatrix.
Details
10
38 136 "Do you not know who I am? I am Dorna, Dorna the Proud, first of the Silver Masks of Tharna! You will be roasted alive on spits, and your flesh cast to sleen! You will be thrown alive to leech plants! You will be fed to tharlarion, boiled in honey, caged with starving urts!" "Take her to her cell," ...

10
40 9 She was now simply "Dorna," and 'Dorna', of course, was a mere slave name, put on an owned beast at the discretion or whim of masters.

10
46 119 When I had been returned to the cages of the Golden Chain from the Skerry of Lars, I had, of course, recalled the beautiful slave, Dorna, once, in her freedom, called Dorna the Proud, once the highest of Silver Masks in Tharna, second only to the Golden Mask, Lara.

10
8 882 "The Dorna!" cried our men.

10
8 892 The assailant ship, the Dorna, then turned slowly away.
Details
10
8 906 "The Dorna does not linger, to pick up survivors," said a man.
Details
10
8 914 I saw the ship, that called the Dorna, depart, its mast now raised and its lateen-rigged sail billowing.
Details
10
15 88 "Do you not find that interesting, Lady Dorna?" "Not particularly," said a woman's voice, as cold as the blade of a knife.
Details
10
15 114 "Come, Addison," said she who had been addressed as Lady Dorna.
Details
10
15 125 And I hated the woman who had been with him though I had never even seen her, the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
22 62 It seemed clear to me that the Lady Dorna, like Bruno of Torcadino and the man with the scar, though now independently, sought the former Lady Julia Leta, presumably to return her to Ar's Street of Coins, that an example might be made of her which would serve to deter others from succumbing to simil...
Details
10
22 66 Even if the Lady Dorna were successful in her endeavor, as Bruno of Torcadino and the man with the scar had not been, at least until now, I expected she would be disappointed in the return realized on her investment of time and money.
Details
10
22 67 "Where is Adraste now?" said the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
22 79 "What does that matter?" asked the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
22 83 "Men are despicable," said the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
22 93 How far away was Earth! I sensed that the Lady Dorna had risen to her feet, and was busied at the table to the side, that with the fire tray, a packet, or so, and the decanter, a rather large decanter, filled with some transparent liquid.
Details
10
22 94 "Noble Addison," said the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
22 105 He had not given me the "Sula" command, perhaps because the Lady Dorna was present.
Details
10
22 114 At the same time the Lady Dorna had shaken some powder from a packet into the small fire tray.
Details
10
22 146 I heard the snap of a fire-maker and became aware that the Lady Dorna was igniting some of the powder she had deposited in the small fire tray.
Details
10
22 148 "Put her on her knees," said the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
22 152 I was aware that the Lady Dorna was approaching, holding the small fire tray by its handle.
Details
10
22 155 "You are on your knees," said the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
22 157 "When one wishes the truth from a woman," said the Lady Dorna, "you should put her on her knees.
Details
10
22 160 "You are going to tell us the truth," said the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
22 164 With the palm of her hand the Lady Dorna gently wafted the fumes toward me.

10
23 14 Where was the Lady Dorna? Where was Addison Steele? Where was I? I was sure I was still in Port Kar, but I had no idea where.
Details
10
23 31 Would it not be terrible to place a slave in such garmenture, and then arrange to have her, so compromised, discovered? Who could so hate a slave? Perhaps a free woman? Perhaps the Lady Dorna? I pulled at the clothing, and feared I knew what it was, and then I rose and went closer to the small lamp ...
Details
10
24 148 I was on my knees before an irate Dorna of Tharna, a free woman beside herself with rage.
Details
10
24 150 "Nothing," snapped Dorna.
Details
10
24 166 "You!" called the Lady Dorna, addressing the nearest slaver's man, he to whom she had spoken earlier, shortly.
Details
10
24 168 He did not look anxious to deal with the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
24 176 "She seems somewhat less than pleased," he said to the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
24 189 "Then she should be cheap," said the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
24 194 "What do you want for her?" asked the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
24 196 "I know she cannot speak," said the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
24 198 I do not think he was much pleased with the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
24 217 "I have bought her," said the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
24 238 What was he doing with the Lady Dorna and the individual who had concealed himself behind the ornate screen in the apartment, presumably the "fee giver"? In what strange, dark plots might Addison Steele be involved? Clearly he was a minion of dark forces.
Details
10
24 252 The Lady Dorna would shortly return, angry, coins in hand.
Details
10
25 8 Despite my uneasiness, my trepidation, and such, I was muchly pleased that I had been purchased, even by such a man, before the return of the seemingly murderously intent Dorna of Tharna.
Details
10
26 41 I could not have screamed had I wished, and not merely because of what had been done to me in the apartment of Dorna of Tharna.
Details
10
27 3 Several days ago, after my miseries in an apartment, at the mercy of Dorna of Tharna, Addison Steele, and, I thought, a mysterious third party, which had remained generally concealed behind an ornate screen, I had awakened somewhere along the Canal of the Sea Sleen.
Details
10
29 59 And how disappointed I had been with him, and how ashamed I had been for him, when I had discovered he was involved with the hateful Dorna of Tharna, and perhaps another, in a clandestine scheme to seize the former Lady Julia Leta of Ar and return her, doubtless for some reward, to a stern, vindicti...
Details
10
29 63 But now I must wonder if Addison Steele had abandoned the Lady Dorna of Tharna and her possible colleague, and had joined Bruno of Torcadino, or if he was feigning the service of each, thus betraying both.
Details
10
29 64 It did not seem likely to me that Bruno of Torcadino and the Lady Dorna of Tharna, and her possible colleague, would join forces.
Details
10
32 64 I recalled the powders and fumes of the apartment of Dorna of Tharna.
Details
10
32 85 I wish to induce a fear in Bruno of Torcadino that he may lose you, and even that others may be interested in your acquisition, either for the procuring of information, or, as in the case of the Lady Dorna of Tharna, the removal of a witness.
Details
10
33 296 In that moment, seeing the man in the boat, turned about, his face illuminated in the light of the bow lantern, I realized I had seen him before, in the apartment of Dorna of Tharna, the Proud.
Details
10
33 429 I drew my sopped hair down, about my face, for I feared that he spoken of as Pa-Kur might recognize me from the apartment of Dorna, of Tharna.
Details
10
33 481 "Do you think I do not recognize you, from the domicile of Dorna, once of Tharna? Look up".
Details
10
33 484 I did not understand why he had spoken of the Lady Dorna, as "once of Tharna".
Details
10
34 76 As far as I knew I had revealed nothing in the apartment of Dorna of Tharna, but Ho-Tosk apparently believed I had fully satisfied my interrogators, but yet, amazingly, he did not seem concerned with the matter.
Details
10
36 70 One of the ships of Bosk of Port Kar, incidentally, was the Dorna.
Details
10
36 72 I did not know, of course, if there might be any relationship between the name of the ship and the Lady Dorna whom I had encountered so unpleasantly some weeks ago.
Details
10
36 75 Ships are often given a feminine name, and, for all I knew, 'Dorna' might be a familiar woman's name on this world.
Details
10
37 96 I broke into a wild, desperate run, away, anything to escape she who styled herself Dorna of Tharna.
Details
10
37 99 I could easily outrun Dorna, encumbered as she was in the voluminous splendor of the multicolored robes of concealment.
Details
10
37 103 "Fugitive slave!" screamed Dorna.
Details
10
37 107 "You do not understand! She wants to kill me!" I was miserable as I, now held by the arms, facing her, saw Dorna hurrying toward us.
Details
10
37 110 "My gratitude, noble masters," said Dorna, breathing heavily, her street veil reacting to the intensity of her breathing.
Details
10
37 117 "I fear I am too gentle and permissive a mistress," said Dorna.
Details
10
37 119 "Can you read, noble masters?" asked Dorna.
Details
10
37 122 "No, no, forgive me," said Dorna.
Details
10
37 128 "See the collar," exclaimed Dorna.
Details
10
37 129 "It reads 'I am Mira, owned by Dorna of Tharna.
Details
10
37 134 "You should not tell lies, Mira," said Dorna.
Details
10
37 140 "Please hold her for me, noble masters," said the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
37 143 "I will be only a moment," said Dorna.
Details
10
37 150 "No, no!" said the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
37 157 "Please hold her, and wait," said Dorna.
Details
10
37 172 "I think I shall withdraw," said Dorna.
Details
10
37 175 "I see," came from somewhere within Dorna's veiling, a brief utterance suggesting both interest and speculation.
Details
10
37 180 "Noble guardsmen," said Dorna, "these two noble masters have been of great assistance to me.
Details
10
37 182 I am the Lady Dorna of Tharna.
Details
10
37 185 "My slave's collar shows her mine," said Dorna.

37 186 "It reads, 'I am Mira, owned by Dorna of Tharna.

10
37 193 "Is that necessary?" said Dorna.
Details
10
37 195 "I am a free woman," said Dorna.
Details
10
37 205 "And this," he said, indicating the Lady Dorna, "is her mistress.
Details
10
37 208 "Probably you should keep her shackled and leashed," said Miles to the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
37 209 "An excellent suggestion," said the Lady Dorna, uneasily.
Details
10
37 214 "Hold," said the Lady Dorna, "I think we can dispense with the formality".
Details
10
37 216 "You have my word that she is mine," said the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
37 220 "No, no, officer," said the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
37 223 "I thought it might be," said the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
37 225 The Lady Dorna went to the edge of the walkway.
Details
10
37 227 "Would a tarsk-bit be sufficient?" asked the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
37 230 I do not think the Lady Dorna realized that Miles had now moved behind her.
Details
10
37 232 "Very well," said the Lady Dorna.
Details
10
37 234 "Do not be absurd," said the Lady Dorna, angrily.
Details
10
37 237 "Very well," said the Lady Dorna, in fury, reaching into her purse, slung at her hip.
Details
10
37 238 Apparently the Lady Dorna now had coins at her disposal, a least to the sum of two silver tarsks.

10
37 243 "Have no fear," said the Lady Dorna.

38 65 Dorna was collared! I think it would be helpful, even advisable, at this point, to pause, to supply certain details, historical and otherwise, in the light of which ensuing events might be better understood.
Details
10
38 82 Amongst these, I suppose, was Dorna the Proud.
Details
10
38 122 His ship, interestingly, the Dorna, had departed from the arsenal sea gate several days ago, before I was brought to his holding.
Details
10
38 133 As mentioned, it had come as a great surprise to me to discover that she whom I had taken to be the Lady Dorna of Tharna, when her hooding and veils were torn aside, and her robes pulled down to her shoulders, was collared.
Details
10
38 138 Dorna's cell was comfortable, if not large: it was well-lit, and airy.
Details
10
38 162 One item in the cell of Dorna I neglected to mention.
Details
10
38 163 It was a holding pole, which, in the case of Dorna, served as a feeding pole.
Details
10
38 164 Whereas holding poles differ amongst themselves, depending on accouterments, such as belly chains, neck collars, and bracelets, and the purposes to which they may be applied, the device in Dorna's cell was rather typical.
Details
10
38 168 The pole in Dorna's case served primarily as a feeding pole.
Details
10
38 183 When a slave would attend on Dorna, a man, usually Florian or Miles, was always present, even when they were not putting her at the pole or relieving her of its restraints.
Details
10
38 185 "I will not eat!" had cried Dorna, kneeling, fastened to the pole, her wrists shaking the bracelets high above her head.
Details
10
38 191 I knew little of the plans and intentions of the masters, but I suspected they had something in mind, and would not care to spend a great deal of time with Dorna.
Details
10
38 219 I gasped, waiting, standing to the side, with the tray of drink and provender for Dorna.
Details
10
38 221 Dorna was fuming but had the wisdom not to provoke Florian further, at least at that time.
Details
10
38 225 "Get on your knees, slave!" said Dorna.
Details
10
38 228 I then began to serve Dorna.
Details
10
38 232 It was not so much that Dorna might have called this act to the attention of her jailer, whoever he might be, as that I found satisfaction in my obedience.
Details
10
38 236 It was on her third day of captivity that I think I learned why slaves were not left alone with Dorna, why a male of the house was always present.
Details
10
38 237 Florian had been called away, as I understood it, and I found myself alone with Dorna.
Details
10
38 251 Dorna shrank back in her restraints.
Details
10
38 252 "I think it will be best for you, sweet, pleasant prisoner," said Florian to Dorna, "if the noble Pa-Kur does not know your location.
Details
10
38 258 "He loves me!" said Dorna.
Details
10
38 260 Dorna regarded Florian.
Details
10
38 264 "No, no!" said Dorna.
Details
10
38 274 Dorna had wanted me dead, and I feared her, and did not trust her.
Details
10
38 283 After Dorna would feed, Florian, Miles, or another, would free her of her restraints.
Details
10
38 284 It was difficult for Dorna to control her temper, with the masters, and certainly the slaves.
Details
10
39 93 "What is the meaning of this? Let me go! Free me! What are you going to do? Stop! Stop!" One of the guards entered, one I recognized from the canal boat, carrying Dorna in his arms.
Details
10
39 99 It did not occur to me immediately, but I conjectured, a moment later, given the terror of Dorna, and the situation below me, the fire, the pole, the pool, and such, what must be occurring.
Details
10
39 101 I regarded the material in which Dorna was wrapped.
Details
10
39 105 There was, in any case, no mistaking the terror of Dorna.
Details
10
39 125 Dorna looked wildly about her.
Details
10
39 132 "Yes, Master," said Dorna.
Details
10
39 133 "And thus, you are privy to the most secret plans, programs, and schedules of Pa-Kur and his associates, particularly pertaining to possible designs having to do with this house?" "Yes, Master," said Dorna.
Details
10
39 164 "Mercy, Masters!" begged Dorna.
Details
10
39 180 Below, Dorna was writhing and screaming.
Details
10
39 182 "It burns, Masters!" wept Dorna.
Details
10
39 189 I think Dorna then fell unconscious.
Details
10
39 233 "He has done you no harm," said Dorna.
Details
10
39 237 "The destruction of what property?" said Dorna.
Details
10
39 242 "Never!" said Dorna.
Details
10
39 245 "I will never speak!" cried Dorna.
Details
10
40 8 This had to do, I gathered, with information obtained yesterday from the interrogation of Dorna the Proud, though so lofty an appellation was scarcely appropriate for a collar girl.
Details
10
40 37 How I despised him! And how I longed to be beneath his table! As I mentioned earlier, this dinner, or feast, at least as far as its tone and nature were concerned, seemed to have something to do with what had been learned from the interrogation of the slave, Dorna.
Details
10
40 133 I recalled that Florian had removed me from the observation chamber before the crucial portion of Dorna's interrogation had begun.
Details
10
40 318 I wondered about Dorna.
Details
10
40 325 In the light of this view, particularly as I recalled her treatment of me, I was prepared to view the beating of Dorna with complete equanimity.
Details
10
40 356 Did the feast not signal that? Much intelligence of interest had apparently been gained from the interrogation of Dorna.
Details
10
40 363 There had been much relief in the holding following the revelations of Dorna, particularly as Bosk of Port Kar, master of the holding, was absent.
Details
10
40 367 I myself had undergone the ordeal of the tunic of fire and the fumes of truth, in much the same way as had Dorna.
Details
10
40 368 Dorna, then, and her confederates, would be well aware that the tunic of fire and the fumes of truth could not be resisted.
Details
10
41 193 It was Addison Steele! Why was I startled? Was it not to be expected? Was he not a minion of Pa-Kur? Had he not been present, in the retinue of Pa-Kur, at the interview with the metal monster in the marshes? Had he not been present in the apartment of Dorna the Proud, an ally of Pa-Kur, when I had b...
Details
10
46 126 Too, what secret knowledge, or such, could she have now that would be relevant to the designs of Pa-Kur? Was she not now worthless to him, save perhaps as collar meat? Surely, in any market, he could buy kajirae who might do quite as well as Dorna, squirming, moaning, whimpering, thrashing, gasping,...
Details
10
46 130 Indeed, had he managed to escape the marshes alive? In any event, Dorna was no longer the property of the Golden Chain.
Details
10
47 215 "When I was on the errand which would bring me to the apartment of Dorna, where I was to be interrogated, my life was threatened.

53 57 The hill-like mound of flesh which had risen under the Dorna, reacting to its inadvertent, bloody intrusion, had shrunk down, considerably, almost immediately, a moment after the Dorna's plunge amongst the mercenaries.

53 82 "While the Dorna sees, while the Dorna lives," he said, "we will not leave her".
Details
10
53 87 "The Dorna sees, the Dorna lives," I said.
Details
10
53 193 Though the Dorna and Tesephone were still abreast, the line was fastened to the stern of the Tesephone and the prow of the Dorna.
Details
10
53 275 The Tesephone leapt forward, slipped past the Dorna, tautened the line between herself and the Dorna, was arrested by the line, and then, smoothly, forcefully, began to draw against it, giving impetus to her fellow.
Details
10
53 276 At the same time, the rowers of the Dorna bent to their oars, and the Dorna, partly towed, partly under its own power, fell into place behind the Tesephone.
Details
10
57 215 We were then joined not only by those men we had sent to assist the Dorna, but by several from the Dorna herself.

58 45 "Dear friends," I said, "the enemy has recently shown, by preferring boarding to ramming, that he would like to obtain our ships, the Dorna and the Tesephone, as prizes, and doubtless most the Dorna.

63 5 The Tesephone, smaller and quicker, more responsive, than the larger Dorna, lay a pasang out, south, beyond the harbor, that she might warn the Dorna of danger and, if necessary, cover her flank.

2 29 "I beached the Dorna and Tesephone upwind," said Thurnock, with a look at Aktis, suggesting this decision might have been judiciously motivated.

3 1 We Set Course for Thera; I Speak with Aktis; We Encounter a Surprise at Sea I stood on the stern castle of the Dorna, Builder's Glass in hand, above the twin rudders, the small, swift Tesephone, shallow-drafted, capable of negotiating rivers, abeam.

3 11 The Dorna, even disguised, even temporarily divested of its ram and shearing blades, still appeared too much a ship of war, which, indeed, it was, a knife ship.
Details
10
3 13 Too, I feared the Dorna, even disguised, might be recognized.
Details
10
3 15 It was my pretense that the Dorna, now referred to as the Korinna on the Cove of Harpalos papers, was a knife ship converted to freight duty, a pretense now accepted by the Cove authorities, due I suspect, first, to a judicious distribution of gold amongst them and, two, due to the fact that Therans...

5 66 "The Dorna and Tesephone are sleek and swift," I said.
Details
10
5 83 The Dorna was a fifty-oar ship, commonly using three men to an oar; the Tesephone was much smaller, a twenty-oar ship, using two men to an oar.
Details
10
8 2 Both the Dorna and Tesephone were beached, prows waterward, near an inlet below, not noticeable from the sea itself.

8 68 "Break camp, strike tents, extinguish fires, gather the men, get the Dorna and Tesephone into the water, masts and sails down.

10
8 121 The Dorna and Tesephone were already in the water.

9 17 A single vessel, and perhaps even two, would be unlikely to engage the Dorna and Tesephone".

14 6 The Dorna, a formidable ship of war, fifty-oared, capable of a devastating strike, commanded by Tab, was in our lee.

15 1 Disturbing Reports have been Received; Tab Learns of the Fair of the Farther Islands; The Tesephone will Depart with the Tide In my tent, high amidst the crags of the Cove of Harpalos, I angrily thrust aside the reports of several selected men, chosen from the crews of the Dorna and Tesephone, thes...

21 128 Sips from the contents of one of the bottles, I was sure, would have killed those who drank on the Tesephone, and sips from the other, I was sure, would have killed those who drank on the Dorna.

22 47 Your larger ship, the Dorna, is no round ship.

22 50 Indeed, I gather from an overheard conversation that the Dorna, recently lying near to the ruins of Nicosia, has a ram mounted, and shearing blades.
Details
10
22 111 "Later we are to join the Dorna, near Nicosia," I said.
Details
10
24 39 The Dorna and the Tesephone were beached nearby.
Details
10
25 18 I had dispatched the Dorna to the Cove of Harpalos, which location was to be favored because of its congenial harbor authorities, no friends of Cos; its proximity to Sybaris, the apparent headquarters of the corsairs; and its precincts having been previously, fruitlessly, searched by the corsairs.
Details
10
29 13 "And find themselves in them," said Captain Tab, currently assigned the captainship of the Dorna, fifty-oared, larger and more formidable than the light, swift Tesephone, sped by twenty oars.
Details
10
29 14 The Dorna, in my view, was the match for any of the seven ships in the corsair fleet.
Details
10
35 173 "The Dorna returned to port yesterday, after a third hunt, once more with her game bag empty".
Details
10
35 174 "I would match Tab and the Dorna against any single ship of the corsair fleet," I said.

36 38 Fortunately for the slaves, neither the Tesephone nor the Dorna saw action on the voyage to Daphna.

39 47 "Let us leave as soon as possible, join Tab and the Dorna at the Cove of Harpalos, and make our way to Mytilene.

39 54 "The Dorna, at the Cove of Harpalos," said Thurnock, "can cast her moorings within an Ahn of the Tesephone's arrival".
Details
10
39 59 What a liability she would be to the Dorna.
Details
10
39 61 The Dorna, of course, was already painted green, a color often favored by pirates, as it is difficult to detect at a distance.
Details
10
48 49 I had done this so that our departure for the Dorna and Tesephone, both waiting in their secret hiding place, a departure which was imminent, might be accomplished, if not in stealth, at least discreetly.

48 160 "The Dorna and Tesephone wait, concealed to the south".

48 203 "Then, after dark, we will join Tab and Sakim at the Dorna and Tesephone".

49 20 "The Dorna and Tesephone are gone!" I unshuttered the dark lamp, and waved it horizontally four times, and then rotated it forward, slowly, three times.

49 27 "There are furrows in the sand where the Dorna and the Tesephone were launched," said Clitus.
Details

49 35 "We are their quarry," I said, "their nemesis, their coveted foe, the core of the defense of Mytilene, more so than the Dorna and Tesephone.
