12	85	"A handful of bread for a song," was a common Gorean invitation extended to members of the caste, and it might occur on the lips of a peasant or a Ubar, and the poet took great pride that he would sing the same song in both the hut of the peasant and the halls of the Ubar, though it won for him only...	10

11	24	On the throne itself there sat a woman, proud, lofty in haughty dignity, garbed regally in majestic robes of golden cloth, wearing a mask not of silver but of pure gold, carved like the others in the image of a beautiful woman.	10

11	156	"Do you know the warrior who brought you the letters and gold?" she demanded.	10
11	220	I wondered what sort of woman was the Tatrix of Tharna, what lay concealed behind that mask of gold.	10
11	228	Should I have thrown them away?" "These coins," said Lara, holding the tiny sack in her hand, gloved in gold, "were to buy my death".	10
11	264	She pointed her hand imperiously at me, that hand wearing its glove of gold, now spattered with my blood, wet and dark from the sweat of her hand.	10

13	38	Pure in its glove of gold it held a golden scarf.	10
13	92	When the glove of gold once more lifted, the dread conflict would begin.	10
13	160	Had I won my freedom? Was it thus in the Amusements of Tharna? Or had the fierce, proud Tatrix now recognized the cruelty of the Amusements? Had that heart hidden in those cold, glistening robes of unfeeling gold at last relented, shown itself to be susceptible of compassion? Or had the call of just...	10
14	208	The golden arms of her robe, the hands gloved in gold, were flung across her face.	10
15	32	More than the gold of a hundred merchants, more than the countless cylinders of Ar, he treasures those sublime, lonely moments, high over the earth, cut by the wind, he and the bird as one creature, alone, lofty, swift, free.	10
15	75	Her hands, still in their gloves of gold, went to the golden mask, as if she feared most that it might not be in place.	10
15	257	"Who would be fool enough to carry away the Tatrix of Tharna when she might be ransomed for the gold of a dozen Ubars?" I looked at her.	10

16	50	"Give him in addition to what he asks, the weight of ten tarns in gold, two rooms of silver and a hundred helmets filled with jewels".	10
16	61	Imperiously, not deigning to speak to me, she gestured to the gloves of gold which I had placed in my belt.	10
18	41	Only her tattered robes and the mask of gold were found, by Dorna the Proud and Thorn, Captain of Tharna".	10
22	125	"I would not," she said, "have given up his collar for all the gold and silver in Tharna, not for all the stones of her gray walls".	10
24	32	"Gold is more common here than bread," said Andreas, sitting near us.	10
24	179	"The Tatrix of Tharna," said Lara, "no longer chooses to wear a mask of gold".	10
24	260	Behind the golden throne of the Tatrix loomed the dull gold mask, fashioned in the image of a cold and beautiful woman, the reflection of the torches set in the walls flickering hideously on its polished surface.	10
25	35	A mirthless laugh sounded through the mask and the hands in their gloves of gold took the mask and, to my astonishment, removed it.	10

27	287	"Yes," she said, "he had wings like showers of gold".	10

9	42	"Gold has no caste," he said.	10
9	50	I glanced at Saphrar, who was now leaning on his yellow cushions, in his silken pleasure robes, white and gold, the colors of the Caste of Merchants.	10
9	156	"My gold can determine that," Saphrar was saying, "and further determine that she is ill defended".	10
9	162	Down the stairway, slowly, in trailing white silk bordered with gold, the colors of the Merchants, there regally descended the girl who was Aphris of Turia.	10
9	164	Her face could not be seen, for it was veiled, a white silken veil trimmed with gold, nor even her hair, for it was hidden in the folds of the free woman's Robes of Concealment, in her case, of course, done in the colors of the Merchants.	10
9	179	I heard Saphrar whisper to Kamchak, whose eyes glowed as they rested on the figure in white and gold on the distant stairway.	10
9	193	All eyes, it seemed, were on the girl on the stairs, slim, said to be beautiful, veiled, clad in Robes of Concealment of white and gold.	10
9	221	She lifted her head, and I could see the lovely line of her nose beneath the veil of white silk trimmed with gold.	10
9	407	I could see the quickness of her breath marked in the soft silk of her white and gold veil.	10
9	422	"Beneath your robes of white and gold," he said, "I smelled the body of a slave girl".	10
9	484	"Thank you, my guardian," said Aphris of Turia, and with one last vicious look at Kamchak threw back her head and with a swirl of her white gown, bordered with gold, walked regally from between the tables.	10
10	17	Yesterday afternoon, for an incredible forty pieces of gold, four quivas and the saddle of a kaiila, Kamchak had sold Tenchika back to Albrecht.	10
10	50	I reached into the pouch at my belt and gave her a piece of gold.	10
10	52	Suddenly she began to shake with sobs and fell to her knees at the paws of the kaiila, the gold piece in her left hand.	10
10	100	They circled back to find a girl, free though still clad Kajir, clutching in one hand a piece of gold, waving after a departed enemy, laughing and crying.	10
10	158	"You should have forty pieces of gold in that pouch," he said.	10
10	286	In her silks of white and gold, on cloths thrown before her, Aphris of Turia stepped disdainfully forward, guided by a judge, to the first of the stakes on the side of the Wagon Peoples.	10
10	310	I smiled to myself, wondering if Aphris of Turia, standing so loftily at the first stake, wore beneath the robes of white and gold the camisk of a slave girl.	10
10	333	Aphris of Turia, at the request of one of the minor judges, irritably removed her gloves, of silk-lined white verrskin, trimmed with gold, and placed them in a deep fold of her robes.	10
10	359	The judge unpinned her white and gold veil and then, with a gentle hand, brushed back her hood revealing her long, lovely black hair.	10
10	451	I gather that the Wagon Peoples, if they wanted sabers or regarded them as valuable, would be able to acquire them, in spite of the fact that they have no metalworking of their own; there might be some attempt to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Wagon Peoples, but where there are gold...	10
10	513	"A piece of gold to Kamras for every cut!" she cried.	10
11	5	She had not, as I had suspected, deigned to wear the shameful camisk beneath her robes of white and gold.	10
11	40	"Do you think five gold pieces would be too much?" he asked.	10
11	88	"No," said Kamchak, taking her hair and giving her head a friendly shake, "I would not have sold you for all the gold in Turia".	10
11	93	"And it is for that reason," said Kamchak, "that I would not sell you for all the gold of Turia".	10
12	20	How was it that he, a merchant of Turia, knew of the golden sphere? How was it that he, a man of shrewdness and intelligence, seemed willing to barter volumes of gold for what he termed merely a curiosity? There seemed to be something here at odds with the rational avarice of mercantile calculation,...	10
12	197	She laughed with delight, as proud of the worn camisk as she might have been once of robes of white and gold.	10
12	423	Kamchak and I, and others, threw coins of gold into the sand near the fire.	10
15	28	I suppose I was angered because I myself was a tarnsman, and it seemed somehow improper for warriors astride the mighty tarns to barter their favors indiscriminately for gold to either side.	10
16	131	The merchant wore his Pleasure Robes of white and gold and his sandals, too, were of white leather bound with golden straps.	10
16	173	"Is it known to Saphrar," I inquired, "that you have received gold from the Tuchuks?" "Of course," said Ha-Keel.	10
16	183	"You may ask," said Ha-Keel, "how it is that I, a tarnsman of Ar, ride for merchants and traitors on the southern plains?" "It saddens me," I said, "that a sword that was once raised in defense of Ar is raised now only by the beck and call of gold".	10
16	271	"Why, though," he said, "I have no idea—it is not truly of gold".	10
16	292	"As long as I receive my gold—and the gold will perhaps make me the richest man on Gor—I do not care".	10
21	203	It was almost certain they would be flying within minutes after an alarm was sounded, even though they need be summoned from the baths, the paga taverns, the gaming rooms of Turia, in which of late, the siege over, they had been freely spending their mercenary gold, much to the delight of Turians.	10
21	204	In a few days, their recreations complete, I expected Ha-Keel would weigh up his gold, marshal his men and withdraw through the clouds from the city.	10
22	65	By this time I had followed Harold over to a corner of the courtyard wall, which was heaped high, banked into the corner, with precious metals, plates, cups; bowls of jewels; necklaces and bracelets; boxes of coins and, in heavy, wooden crates, numerous stacked cubes of silver and gold, each stamped...	10
23	213	Most of the gold and jewels, and precious plate and cups and goblets, were missing, except where here and there a coin or stone might lie missed at the edge of the wagon hides or at the foot of one of the curved wagon poles.	10
25	437	"Would it not have added a dozen gold pieces to my price?" "Yes," I said, "it would have".	10
26	53	"He is coming to bargain with Saphrar, but I can better whatever terms he is offered—for I have all the gold and women of Turia, and by nightfall I will have the private hordes of Saphrar himself".	10
26	68	The fighting would be fierce, but it did not seem that the outcome would be in doubt, even from the beginning—particularly now that the tarnsmen of Ha-Keel had left the city, the saddle packs of their tarns bulging with Turian gold.	10
26	74	They filed before us in the street below, each under the contemptuous eyes of the warriors of the Wagon Peoples, each in turn going to a long table whereon were placed many pairs of scales, and each at that table was weighed out four Gorean stone of gold, about six Earth pounds, which he put in his ...	10
26	76	Four Gorean stone of gold is a fortune.	10
26	82	"Let Saphrar of Turia die by gold," he said.	10
26	84	Man by man, stone by stone of gold, Saphrar was dying, his walls and defenses being taken grain by grain from him, slipping away.	10
26	85	His gold could not buy him the hearts of men.	10
26	89	I even saw some slaves leaving the compound, and these, though they were slave, were given the four stone of gold as well, perhaps the more to insult those free men who had accepted the bribes of Tuchuks.	10
26	98	About the pommel of Kamchak's saddle were tied several bags of gold, each weighed out to four stone.	10
26	99	And following him, among the warriors, were several Turian slaves, clad in chains and the Kes, among them Kamras, Champion of Turia, and Phanius Turmus, the Turian Ubar, all of whom carried large pans filled with sacks of gold.	10
26	105	Behind them I was startled to see suddenly a scurrying figure in white and gold, Saphrar of Turia.	10
26	120	Kamchak untied two of the sacks of gold from the pommel of his saddle.	10
26	123	The two guards broke from before the door, each picking up his sack of gold and fled through the Tuchuks.	10
26	126	In the main hall he looked about and then, Harold and I following, and the man with the two sleen, and the slaves with gold, and his archers and other men, he began to walk his kaiila forward, across the broad marble tiles, following the terrified Saphrar of Turia.	10
26	127	Again and again we encountered guards within the house but each time, when Saphrar took refuge behind them, Kamchak would throw gold to them and they would dissipate and Saphrar, panting, puffing, still clutching the large, purple-wrapped object in his arms, would on his short legs hurry off again.	10
26	132	We passed through kitchens and galleries, even through the private compartments of Saphrar himself, where we saw the multitudinous robes and sandals of the merchant, each worked predominantly in white and gold, though often mixed with hundreds of other colors.	10
26	142	Kamchak now gave his kaiila to a subordinate and, on foot, carrying torch and quiva, began to prowl down the passage, beside him the two snarling sleen, behind him Harold and I, and the rest of his men, several with torches, even the slaves with gold.	10
26	171	Kamchak threw another sack of gold to his feet, and then another.	10
26	174	He then threw, one after another, a dozen bags of gold to the floor.	10
26	175	"Save your gold, Tuchuk sleen," said the young man.	10
26	267	I can give you half the riches of the Paravaci! Bosk and gold and women and wagons!" "I would suppose," said Ha-Keel, "that all that you have is not worth so much as the golden sphere—and that is Saphrar of Turia's".	10
26	291	"It had to have been the Ubar of the Paravaci—for who else could have sent their riders against the Tuchuk wagons, who else could have promised a mercenary tarnsman half the bosk and gold and women and wagons of the Paravaci?" I was only dimly aware of their conversation.	10
26	310	In the background there stood the slaves with their pans of gold.	10
26	378	For better than an hour it burned and then the basin of the pool, now black, in places the marble fused and melted, was empty, save for smears of carbon and grease, and some cracked, blackened bones, and some drops of melted gold, what had been left perhaps of the golden drops which Saphrar of Turia...	10
26	389	He draws his sword only in the name of gold, but I expect that now, Saphrar dead, those who employed the merchant may need new agents for their work—and that they will pay the price of a sword such as that of Ha-Keel".	10
26	454	Such a venture would not in all likelihood have been attempted by one who labored only for gold.	10
26	543	"Ten thousand bars of gold," he said.	10
26	554	"Yes," cried Kamchak, "that is true—it was Turian gold!" He cracked his fist on his thigh.	10
26	555	"Turian gold!" "One might claim," said Harold, "that that makes quite a difference".	10
27	5	Turia had been a rich city, and though much gold had been given to the tarnsmen of Ha-Keel and the defenders of the House of Saphrar, it was a tiny amount when compared with the whole, not even counting that lost by being carried by civilians through the gates Kamchak had designated as escapes from ...	10
27	79	Dina, wondering, opened the package and within it she saw the cups and rings, and pieces of gold, which Albrecht had given her for her victories in the runnings from the bola.	10

2	58	At a gesture from the proprietor, the grimy man in the tunic of white and gold, one of the serving slaves, with a flash of her ankle bells, hurried to the Assassin and set before him a bowl, which she trembling filled from the flask held over her right forearm.	10
2	137	Then a coin of gold struck the table before the Assassin, ringing on the wood.	10
2	150	Now the Assassin picked up the coin of gold and looked at the startled and sweating Portus.	10

2	252	"The gold of this house is heavy in the councils of the city".	10
2	253	"The Administrator and the High Initiate," asked Kuurus, "owe their thrones to the gold of this house?" Portus laughed bitterly.	10
2	254	"Without the gold of this house, how could the Administrator and the High Initiate have sponsored the races and the games that won them the favor of the lower castes?" "But the lower castes do not elect the Administrator or the High Initiate," said Kuurus.	10
2	260	"There is only gold and steel," he said.	10
2	266	"I do not know where the gold comes from—all of it—" said Portus.	10

3	44	It seemed to me that men should pay a tarn disk of gold just to be permitted to watch such a master play, but such were not the economic realities of the game.	10
3	154	"A tarn disk of gold and of double weight," said I, "to red, should red win".	10
3	158	I took from my belt a tarn disk of double weight, and of gold, and gave it to the Player, who took it in his fingers and felt its weight, and then he put it between his teeth and bit it.	10
3	160	"It is truly gold," he said.	10
3	186	Under other conditions I would have left at this point, but as I held the gold piece in question I knew that I would have to remain until the end, which, as some consolation, would be but shortly now.	10
3	213	I then pressed into the hands of the Player the tarn disk of gold, of double weight, and the man held it clenched in his hands, and smiled and rose to his feet.	10

5	35	Such a demand might seem importunate or to evince a concern for secrecy not in place in a house where I, supposedly, had taken gold for the use of my steel.	10

7	139	There was a large quantity of this gold, perhaps forty squares, which were distributed among the four tarn baskets remaining on the ledge.	10
7	140	It was, I assumed, Earth gold.	10

15	146	I supposed they had succumbed to gold, for slavers pay high for their hired swords.	10

Virginia Kent, who had taught classics and ancient history in a college on Earth, leaped to her feet and, barefoot, a slave girl, raced from the room, hurrying to the Waiting Cells, whence at dawn, with others, she would be sent to the Curulean, where, in the evening, she wou...	10

19	142	An extremely good price, under relatively normal market conditions, for a truly beautiful woman of High Caste tends to be about thirty pieces of gold, though some go as high as forty, and fifty is not unknown; these prices, for women of low caste, may be approximately halved.	10
19	148	The pair was eventually sold to a collector for ten gold pieces; I trust the security of his Pleasure Gardens is superb, else he might waken to a knife at his throat and the demand for a tarn, and, perhaps eventually, in the rags of a slave, a seat on the bench of a cargo galley.	10
19	154	There was only a two gold piece bid.	10

19	357	"Five hundred gold pieces!" called the rich man of Ar.	10
19	374	"Five hundred and forty gold pieces!" cried the rich man of Ar, and the crowd cheered its approval of the bid.	10
19	390	Imagine her, noble men of Ar, chained to your slave ring! She alone is worth five hundred pieces of gold!" The crowd roared its approval and the auctioneer dropped his hand and stepped back, perhaps as surprised as any in that room.	10
19	404	"Would it not be worth five hundred gold pieces," asked Elizabeth, "to put your leash on this one and lead her home, to teach her the worth of a man of Ar, if worth they have, and then send her weeping and aching to the kettles of the kitchen until she begs to sleep beneath your slave ring?" There w...	10
19	427	"Eight hundred gold pieces!" came one cry.	10
19	429	Then we heard nine hundred and fifty bid, and then, incredibly, a thousand, and then a bid for the astounding sum of fourteen hundred pieces of gold.	10
19	433	The last bid he had received had been an astounding fifteen hundred pieces of gold.	10
19	441	"It is bid," said the man, "by Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar, for the wenches now on the block three thousand pieces of gold".	10
20	253	The other man who had entered with Hup was, to my astonishment, the blind Player whom I had encountered so long ago in the street outside the paga tavern near the great gate of Ar, who had beaten so brilliantly the Vintner in what had been apparently, until then, an uneven and fraudulent game, one t...	10
20	296	Through the entryway, rather angrily, strode a young man, perhaps no more than eighteen or nineteen years of age, with piercing eyes and incredibly striking features; he wore the garb of the Player, but his garb was rich and the squares of the finest red and yellow silk; the game bag over his left s...	10
20	312	"If you win," said Cernus, "you will be given a hundred gold pieces".	10
20	366	My champion was Hup, a Fool, that of Cernus was the brilliant, fiery, competitive Scormus of Ar, the young, phenomenal Scormus, who played first board of the city of Ar and held the highest bridge in the city as the province of his game, the master not only of the Players of Ar but doubtless of Gor ...	10
20	453	"I will give you two hundred pieces of gold if you can finish the game in ten moves," said Cernus.	10
21	378	Then to my surprise I saw, with us, fighting, a common Warrior, not a Taurentian, one whose helmet was not laced with gold nor his shield bound with silver, nor his shoulders covered with the purple of the Ubar's guard.	10
22	418	Its prize is the greatest, a thousand double-tarns of gold.	10
22	430	This warned the rider of the eighth bird, a Gold, and he, bent low in the saddle, looked behind him to see, piercing the rings, eyes blazing, wings snapping, the great black tarn.	10
23	105	"It was he who slew the Warrior of Thentis! Not I!" "I have taken gold," I told him.	10
23	109	"I will give you gold!" he cried.	10
23	203	I saw on the part of a body lying among the bones the chain and medallion of Cernus, now stained with blood, the tarn, gold, slave chains in its talons.	10
24	230	I had been given the thousand double tarns of gold for the victory in the Ubar's race.	10
24	247	The one double tarn remaining from the victory gold I pressed into the hands of blind Qualius, the Player, who stood at the court of the Ubar, having been, like Hup, of the party of Marlenus.	10
24	251	Qualius smiled and took the piece of gold.	10
24	253	I accept your gold, and am honored in so doing".	10
