It was too bad, I thought, but at least I supposed there would be one fellow among the wagons, the young man Harold, he whom the girl had so abused, he who had not yet won the Courage Scar, who would be just as pleased as not that she, with all her contempt and spleen, was now delightfully salted aw... |

To be sure, it was in its way an uneasy existence for us, in the garden, for we could hear what occasionally went on in the streets, on the other side of the wall, and we had gathered, from remarks of guards, overheard, and such, that not every house in the city, with such a garden, had been spared ... |

Better to squirm in a tavern, better to trudge behind an army as one of its collared camp followers, better to be harnessed to a peasant's plow, wary of his lash, than to languish in the garden! If I were a flower, let me blossom in the fields, or among paving stones, not in the garden. |

What power in the garden did this give him over me! But who such as he needed any further power over one such as I? Did not, if not he, then his kind, already possess absolute power over one such as I! "You are not going to cry out, are you?" he asked. |
10 |
| 7 | 329 |
But that did not entitle him, surely, to enter the garden! To be with one of us, as he was! "Very well," he said. |

Did he not know this was the garden? Did he not understand the danger? "It is said," he remarked, "that one such as you might be hot". |

I had often begged to be put forth for use, to lie chained between the tables for the use of guests, to be fastened even to a bench in the garden, my use a gratuity for those who worked there, or to be sent, gratefully, ecstatically, back-braceleted, a sheet over me, to the quarters of guards, but t... |

What cared I now for my questions, what mattered it if I understood him or not, if I fathomed his presence here, or what he wanted, or even if his interest in me might, frighteningly, be more than that of one such as he who had, in a garden, encountered one such as I. |

What if the one who was first amongst us should come to the garden? What if we should be discovered? But it was the helplessness which precedes the yielding. |
10 |

To pluck a flower, to seize, and make away with, a luscious fruit of the garden? But such things are almost impossible to do. |
10 |

Perhaps, waiting, he had wandered into the garden, to pass the time. |
10 |
| 7 | 454 |
To be sure, I was nothing, only a girl in a garden. |
10 |
| 7 | 474 |
No longer did I then, in those moments, care for the danger, or whether I cried out, or if he cried out, or about the guards, or who might enter the garden! Nothing mattered, nothing was real but the feeling, the sensations, the moment! I only then became aware of the might of him, too, as though mo... |
10 |

We were in the garden! I tried to pull back, a little bit. |
10 |
| 7 | 489 |
What was his intent regarding me? How much at his mercy I was! Clearly his interest in me was more than a fancy of a moment, a whim in a garden. |
10 |
| 7 | 492 |
But his primary interest in me, I was certain, went well beyond the gratification and entertainment, slyly stolen, he might derive from one of a garden's casually encountered, exquisitely figured, frightened, helplessly responsive flowers. |
10 |
| 7 | 519 |
He must release me! No, he must continue to hold me, if only for a moment! No, no, he must release me! We were in the garden! Did he not realize the danger? "Were your ears pierced when you came to our world," he asked. |
10 |
| 7 | 570 |
But might not that suffice, for the little that it might be worth? I, his, in his arms, was in the garden. |
10 |
| 7 | 587 |
The three women who had come upon us were silked, of course, but rather differently, and more richly, than I had been, as was to be expected, as they were much higher in this place, in the garden, than I. |
10 |
| 7 | 672 |
I felt very small and vulnerable, there on the grass in the garden, the silk clutched before me. |
10 |
| 7 | 673 |
"The garden is private," said Aynur to the stranger. |
10 |
| 7 | 678 |
I could hear the fountain in the garden. |
10 |
| 7 | 680 |
But the other flowers had apparently not received permission to reenter the garden. |
10 |
| 7 | 683 |
She had discovered a stranger in the garden. |
10 |
| 7 | 696 |
But that would not, presumably, uninvited, have given him permission to enter the garden, to partake, unlicensed, of its delights, such as they might be. |
10 |
| 7 | 698 |
Did she wish that it had been she, instead, who had been found in the garden? Why had I not resisted? Why had I not called out for the guards? Surely Aynur would wish to know that. |
10 |
| 7 | 707 |
And the garden is lonely, with only the flowers, so beautiful, but meaningless and incomplete in themselves, and the glimpse, occasionally, of a guard. |
10 |
| 7 | 714 |
It was almost as though I were here less as a flower than merely as something else, something to be kept in the garden. |
10 |
| 7 | 716 |
To be sure, we are all kept in the garden. |
10 |
| 7 | 724 |
I was the only girl of my world in the garden. |
10 |
| 7 | 783 |
Given their position in the garden, and the considerable authority they held here, over me, and the others, I did not think it would be wise for me to permit myself to be detected remarking this in any obvious manner. |
10 |
| 7 | 861 |
Grievous at his hands was the punishment of the lovely, imperious Aynur, who was first amongst us in the garden. |
10 |
| 7 | 875 |
That would certainly, in one sense, not give me an enviable position in the garden. |
10 |
| 7 | 877 |
Only I, who only a few days ago had first been permitted silk in the garden! This pleased my vanity no small bit! Too, in a sense, it would surely elevate my status among the flowers, if they came to know of it. |
10 |
| 7 | 886 |
How trivial such things might appear to him, the alarms of a small, curvaceous animal, but how momentous they were to me! He could leave, but I must remain in the garden! He continued to regard me. |
10 |
| 7 | 894 |
I was only another girl, only another flower, nothing more, in her collar, in a garden. |
10 |
| 7 | 897 |
He then took his leave of the garden. |
10 |
| 7 | 910 |
At such times you may well understand how it was that we within the wall, in the garden, in our delicate, pampered beauty, our light silks, our golden collars, might exchange frightened glances. |
10 |
| 7 | 916 |
But still, on the whole, even so, I wanted to be out of the garden. |
10 |
| 7 | 919 |
Better a steel collar in the street than one of gold in the garden! "I shall call the guards!" wept Aynur. |
10 |
| 7 | 921 |
It might be mentioned that Aynur, and Tima and Tana, despite their authority, and their importance, in the garden, were less than the least of the guards. |
10 |
| 7 | 946 |
"I was in the garden," I began. |
10 |
| 7 | 948 |
"What were you doing in the garden during the rest period?" asked Aynur. |
10 |
| 7 | 950 |
"I wanted to walk in the garden!" "But it was the rest period," she said. |
10 |
| 7 | 952 |
It was not forbidden to be in the garden during the rest period. |
10 |
| 7 | 959 |
"Did you expect to meet someone in the garden?" she asked. |
10 |
| 7 | 964 |
Who, unsolicited, could simply come through the house, and enter the garden? But it seems that one had. |
10 |
| 7 | 970 |
For example, let us suppose that a woman, not like one of us, is suspected of being held in a given garden. |
10 |
| 7 | 972 |
Too, might she not attempt bribe guards, or such, promising rich rewards for her release? But let her not be apprehended in such an intrigue, lest her lofty status vanish by morning, and she find herself in the garden then no more than another such as we. |
10 |
| 7 | 975 |
In all intrigues within the garden, involving the outside, a guard, or staff member, is almost always involved. |
10 |
| 7 | 980 |
Too, of course, such liaisons might be initiated by a guard or staff member, for such are not as ignorant of the contents of a garden as is sometimes supposed. |
10 |
| 7 | 985 |
I went into the garden". |
10 |
| 7 | 987 |
"I thought the garden was empty". |
10 |
| 7 | 993 |
"I was shocked! I was terrified! I was horrified! A man there! In the garden!" "What did you do?" "I did not know what to do," I said. |
10 |
| 7 | 1126 |
I had surely sensed that Aynur was frustrated in the garden, and that she was, at least latently, highly and powerfully, and significantly and helplessly, sexed. |
10 |
| 7 | 1131 |
I had then been seen kissing the fellow in the garden. |
10 |
| 7 | 1135 |
Did she wish that it had been she who had been caught in the garden? "Slut! Slut!" she cried. |
10 |
| 7 | 1137 |
I did not think she was so different from me, in what we were, but here, in the garden, in the articulated structure of this world, we were separated by a chasm of almost infinite proportions. |
10 |
| 24 | 688 |
How else explain the fascination that even a plain slave may sometimes exercise over the most powerful, rich, and handsome of men, to the puzzlement and dismay of beauties languishing in his pleasure garden? How else explain how a slave worthy of a ubar's palace may in a market, unbidden, throw hers... |
10 |
| 41 | 4 |
This evening she had had Tima and Tana tie me to the whipping post in the garden. |
10 |
| 41 | 5 |
The other women, the flowers of the garden, had been summoned forth to watch. |
10 |
| 41 | 13 |
But I had wanted to press my hands against its solidity, knowing there was a world on the other side of the garden, and that I was then a little closer to it. |
10 |
| 41 | 15 |
One knew there was a world there, teeming, busy, with its sights, and sounds, and smells, a turbulent, active world, one different from that of the garden. |
10 |
| 41 | 34 |
Better to be chained in a hovel, subject to the whip of the least in the city, than a flower in the garden! Doubtless the girls had been puzzled as to why I was switched as hard and lengthily as I had been by Aynur, only for going near the wall. |
10 |
| 41 | 35 |
They did not know, as did Tima and Tana, and Aynur, about the tall, long-haired man who had come to the garden, who had commanded me, he to whom I had fearfully, but eagerly and gratefully, surrendered, serving him with all the desperate, pleading needs of my body. |
10 |
| 41 | 36 |
Had the flowers known that would they not have cried out that I should have been even more grievously punished? How starved we were in the garden. |
10 |
| 41 | 39 |
If I had been so chained during the rest period this afternoon, I would not have been able to enter the garden, to approach the wall, to encounter the stranger. |
10 |
| 41 | 41 |
I was not clear on how he had gained admittance to the garden. |
10 |
| 41 | 85 |
"You are a pleasure-garden girl, you know," she said. |
10 |
| 41 | 88 |
"After this," she said, "if you want to go into the garden during the rest period, you should ask me, first". |
10 |
| 41 | 91 |
"And if, in the future, you should see someone in the garden, someone you suspect may have no right to be there, you should hurry in and inform me". |
10 |
| 41 | 128 |
Earlier, in the garden, she had seemed almost insanely jealous of his attentions to me. |
10 |
| 41 | 132 |
In this house, in the garden, there was much pain. |
10 |
| 41 | 133 |
Sometimes, to be sure, we entertained, in the house or garden, some singing and playing, others, such as I, fetching food and drink, attending on the guests, then all of us, later, as we might be selected, or allotted, or assigned, serving, as slaves. |
10 |
| 41 | 139 |
I heard a guard close the gate to the garden. |
10 |
| 41 | 143 |
I wondered what he had been doing in the garden. |
10 |
| 41 | 155 |
I had never even been allowed out of this house, save in the garden. |
10 |
| 42 | 16 |
Was this how he had his girls brought to him, in the darkness of the night, secretly? Or, did this have to do with other business, clandestine business perhaps, nocturnal interrogations? Perhaps he was curious to know what had transpired in the garden. |
10 |
| 42 | 52 |
"Do not fear, barbarian slut," said she, "but after today, sooner or later, I would have found a way to get you out of the garden! Do not think to lie again, filthy little slave, in the arms of my Camillus!" I supposed that guards might be sometimes suborned, with the promise of the gift of dangerou... |
10 |
| 42 | 73 |
I did not much fear slave theft as it would extract me from the boredom, if security, of the garden. |
10 |
| 42 | 75 |
But I did not think these men were simply interested in picking up a pleasure-garden girl, even one who might be of unusual interest, either for their own house or to put on the block in some foreign city, hopefully turning a tidy profit on her. |
10 |
| 42 | 111 |
"He was alone with her in the garden," said Aynur, angrily. |
10 |
| 42 | 122 |
"It is sometimes amusing to treat a pleasure-garden girl, or a high slave, as though she might be a low slave, or even the most worthless of common slaves". |
10 |
| 42 | 145 |
Aynur, though she was first amongst us, was nonetheless a pleasure-garden girl. |
10 |
| 42 | 146 |
