14 179 But I knew even as I cried out that I was not free, and I burned with shame that I had so bespoke myself, for how could I be free when others in that gray city were bound? There was the girl, warm-eyed Linna, who had been kind to me, whose auburn hair was knotted with coarse string, who wore the gra...

6 147 Her hair was brown and fine, the splendid gray eyes seemed even more clear, and her face, I saw, was beautiful, even more beautiful than I had imagined.

8 5 Most of the male citizens wore gray tunics, perhaps indicative of their superiority to pleasure, their determination to be serious and responsible, to be worthy scions of that industrious and sober city.
Details
10
8 7 On the shoulders of their gray tunics only a small band of color indicated caste.
Details
10
8 15 Whether or not there were male slaves I could not well judge, for the collars would have been hidden by the gray robes.

8 45 As I left the marketplace, I noted two men, furtive, round-shouldered in their nondescript gray robes, who followed me.

10
8 60 Even the horizontal plains about Tharna, marked by their occasional outcroppings of weathered boulders, seemed to be gray, rather cold and gloomy, perhaps sad.

8 115 "But are you not intrigued, Stranger," asked the man, his pale eyes squinting up at me through the folds of the gray robe, "by the offer of a tarn, gold and provisions?" "What must I do to earn this?" I asked.

8 123 The light drizzle of rain, almost a gray mist matching the miserable solemnity of Tharna, had not abated, and had, by now, soaked through my garments.

10
9 18 The slight, gray-robed figure, almost as insubstantial as the mist itself, appeared ready to leave, but suddenly hesitated.
Details
10
9 27 He smiled up at me, a twisted grin visible through the obscuring folds of the gray robe.
Details
10
9 40 It was customary to find diversions other than paga in the Paga Taverns, as well, but in gray Tharna the cymbals, drums and flutes of the musicians, the clashing of bangles on the ankles of dancing girls would be unfamiliar sounds.
Details
10
9 41 I stopped one of the anonymous, gray-robed figures hurrying through the wet, cold dusk.
Details
10
9 74 I descended three steps, and found myself in a warm, dimly lit, low-ceilinged room, cluttered with the low tables common on Gor, around which huddled groups of five or six of the gray-robed men of Tharna.

10
9 80 "What is your business?" asked the proprietor of the place, a small, thin, bald-headed man wearing a short-sleeved gray tunic and slick black apron.
Details
10
9 87 In the light it was difficult to determine their caste, for they all wore the gray robes of Tharna and only a band of color on the shoulder indicated their station in the social fabric.
Details
10
9 121 It was, I suppose, the Kal-da, but I like to think, too, it was just impatience with the males of Tharna, the intemperate expression of my exasperation with this gray, dismal place, its glum, solemn, listless inhabitants.

10
10 15 He looked at me, his gray eyes frank in the Y-slot in his somber blue helmet of Tharna.

10
10 28 After we had walked for perhaps some twenty minutes through the drab, graveled, twisted streets of Tharna, its gray citizens parting to make way for us and to stare expressionlessly at the scarlet-clad prisoner, we came to a broad winding avenue, steep and paved with black cobblestones, still shiny ...

13 32 Some seemed to be conversing among themselves, perhaps laying wagers of one sort or another, but most sat still on the stone benches, glum and silent in their gray robes, their thoughts not easily read.

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...

14 55 Yet it was perhaps more, for as I stood by the bird, I felt almost as though I had come home to Ko-ro-ba, as though I stood here now with something in this gray, hostile city that knew me and mine, that had looked upon the Towers of the Morning, and had spread its wings above the glistening cylinder...

14 66 The man in wrist straps, the burly fellow who had so delighted in striking me, he with the band of gray cloth wound about his forehead, approached me, his whip lifted.

10
14 192 Its wicked eyes gleamed, scanning the ground, its head and beak thrust forward, its wings still, gliding silently in great sweeps, lower and lower, over the gray towers of Tharna.
Details
10
14 194 The awnings had been struck, but the stands were still filled, as the thousands of silver masks of Tharna waited for the golden Tatrix herself to be the first to leave that scene of the macabre amusements of the gray city.
Details
10
22 55 I put my arms around her slender shoulders and to my amazement she who had worn the golden mask of Tharna, she who had been Tatrix of that gray city, put her head upon my chest and wept.

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".

23 196 Largely, the streets were deserted, save that here and there lay a body, sometimes that of a warrior of Tharna, more often one of its gray-clad citizens.
Details
10
23 205 We could read the sullen defiance, the resolve, the capacity to kill in those eyes, bloodshot with loss of sleep, the desperate carriage of those gray-clad bodies, hungry and vicious with the strain of street fighting.

24 202 "Back to your post!" Other warriors in the blue helmets and gray tunics of Tharna had climbed to the top of the barricade, to see more clearly what befell.

5 98 "The gray robe?" I asked.

10
7 16 Although the dais was resplendent, and the rugs upon it even more resplendent, I saw that beneath Kutaituchik, over these rugs, had been spread a simple, worn, tattered robe of gray boskhide.

7 253 Perhaps in that moment Elizabeth Cardwell recalled the strange man, so fearsome, gray of face with eyes like glass, who had so examined her on Earth, before whom she had stood as though on a block, unknowingly being examined for her fitness to bear the message collar of Turia.

14 67 Near the center of the wagon, alone, his head bent over, on the robe of gray boskhide, sat Kutaituchik, perhaps fifteen or twenty arrows imbedded in his body.

20 157 I must manage to seize it before the man with whom Saphrar had had dealings—the gray man with eyes like glass—could call for it—and destroy it or carry it away.

10
21 169 I lived in constant fear that the gray man—he with eyes like glass—would come to Turia on tarnback and acquire, before I could act, the golden sphere—for which so much had been risked, for which apparently more than one man had died.

10
24 10 The only reason that occurred to me why Saphrar had not yet fled was that he was waiting in Turia for an excellent reason—quite possibly the arrival on tarnback of the gray man—with whom he had negotiated apparently to secure the golden sphere.

10
6 66 It was the tall gray-eyed blond girl, whom I remembered from the morning, who had carried a coil of marsh vine, holding it against my arm, she who had danced, with excruciating slowness, before me at festival, who had, like the others, shown her contempt of me with her spittle.
