I clutched the bars of the slave cage in which Desmond of Harfax had placed me. |
10 |
| 41 | 45 |
I knocked, lightly, on the door of the small room which had been assigned to Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 41 | 90 |
And I hoped no kajira had been fastened at the slave ring, at least by Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 41 | 178 |
I wondered what it would be, to be whipped by Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 43 | 1 |
"All is lost," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 43 | 37 |
"How else could he obtain his release from his cell?" asked Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 43 | 42 |
"Things began to go badly several days ago," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 43 | 50 |
"I do not know," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 43 | 88 |
"Four times," said Desmond of Harfax, "before the revolt of Lucius, despite the importunities of Agamemnon, Timarchos, Lysymachos, and others, Grendel sought to postpone this journey, meanwhile laboring on our behalf". |
10 |
| 44 | 78 |
"You love Desmond of Harfax," he said. |
10 |
| 46 | 46 |
"Whom shall I say has reserved you for the evening?" "Desmond of Harfax," I said. |
10 |
| 46 | 68 |
In any event, it seemed clear that Desmond of Harfax's small assemblage of determined men was at great risk. |
10 |
| 46 | 162 |
"Desmond, Desmond of Harfax," said Nora. |
10 |
| 46 | 167 |
I recalled that Desmond of Harfax had once said to me, "It is clear how at least one might survive". |
10 |
| 47 | 3 |
It had been announced, yesterday, that all conspirators had twenty Ahn in which to surrender themselves, before their names would be revealed to the high Kurii by Desmond of Harfax, who, in full nobility, had come forward voluntarily to perform his bounden duty to his superiors. |
10 |
| 47 | 4 |
He had apparently made the stipulation that he would reveal the names of the conspirators only to Agamemnon himself, thus assuring himself that all would be done fully and properly, without any confusion or mistake, and, also, naturally, one supposes, that he, Desmond of Harfax, would then be recogn... |
10 |
| 47 | 28 |
"We are to witness the deposition of Desmond of Harfax". |
10 |
| 47 | 39 |
"Desmond of Harfax is to be led down the hall shortly, to the Audience Chamber of Agamemnon. |
10 |
| 47 | 59 |
The way the men were about, and near the sides of the hall, looking back down the hall, toward the direction from which Desmond of Harfax might approach, I was uneasy. |
10 |
| 47 | 61 |
Almost none of those men, of course, had been at that perilous meeting called so long ago by Desmond of Harfax, at which, I, too, had been in attendance. |
10 |
| 47 | 69 |
I found it hard to believe that Desmond of Harfax would have betrayed his fellows. |
10 |
| 47 | 78 |
Leaning forward I saw, approaching, Desmond of Harfax, followed by two Kurii, who occasionally bared their fangs threateningly, and growled, as men started to surge closer to their charge. |
10 |
| 47 | 84 |
What, now, could be believed? What, now, could remain in its place? "Traitor!" I heard, and I looked up to see a shape from the side, Akesinos, hurling himself upon Desmond of Harfax, his hands clutching for his throat. |
10 |
| 47 | 86 |
"Stop, you fool!" said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 47 | 88 |
Trachinos pulled Akesinos bodily from Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 47 | 89 |
"Run," said Desmond of Harfax to Akesinos. |
10 |
| 47 | 92 |
Then he returned to his post, with his fellow, by Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 47 | 93 |
The Kur who had remained with Desmond of Harfax turned on his translator. |
10 |
| 47 | 95 |
Desmond of Harfax, shaken, his tunic torn, bruised, then continued on his way, followed by the two guards. |
10 |
| 47 | 97 |
Had the hands of Akesinos found their mark would he not have perished within the Ehn? The Kur who had the Lady Bina under his supervision indicated that we should follow the two guards and Desmond of Harfax, which we did, he following. |
10 |
| 47 | 101 |
Desmond of Harfax was carrying a weapon into the audience chamber. |
10 |
| 48 | 1 |
It was a distraught Desmond of Harfax who was led before the dais, for on the dais, on three tables, were three containers. |
10 |
| 48 | 11 |
Might there not be indefinite subtleties, one lurking behind the other, in this kaissa of choice? "Tal, Noble Agamemnon, Theocrat of the World, Eleventh Face of the Nameless One," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 48 | 13 |
"Yes," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 48 | 15 |
"Did we not allow all conspirators twenty Ahn in which to surrender themselves?" "The generosity of your offer was beyond question, Lord Agamemnon," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 48 | 17 |
"It seems so," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 48 | 19 |
"True," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 48 | 21 |
"It is tragic," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 48 | 23 |
"How can it be helped?" asked Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 48 | 29 |
"But first, great lord," said Desmond of Harfax, "may I approach you more closely?" "No," said Agamemnon. |
10 |
| 48 | 30 |
"I would like to speak more intimately," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 48 | 33 |
"Certainly," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 48 | 36 |
"It is clearly understood, of course," said Desmond of Harfax, "that I bring the matter of egregious treachery to your attention simply, and only, to frustrate treason, and protect the person and plans of your lordship". |
10 |
| 48 | 38 |
"Such is my duty, and privilege," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 48 | 40 |
"But, too," said Desmond of Harfax, "might one not expect some token of gratitude from your lordship, however negligible, no matter how undeserved it might be?" "The generosity of the Theocrat of the World, the Eleventh Face of the Nameless One," said Agamemnon, "may be depended upon, and is well kn... |
10 |
| 48 | 41 |
"Would a thousand pieces of gold, tarn disks of double weight, be appropriate?" asked Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 48 | 43 |
"What of yours?" cried Desmond of Harfax leaping to the dais, thrusting the central container to the floor, and falling upon it with his knife. |
10 |
| 48 | 45 |
Immediately Desmond of Harfax was disarmed and seized by Kurii. |
10 |
| 48 | 48 |
Desmond of Harfax had chosen incorrectly. |
10 |
| 48 | 51 |
I was afraid Desmond of Harfax might have had his arms torn from his body. |
10 |
| 48 | 57 |
How brave, and foolish, Desmond of Harfax had been! Did he think that so mighty a foe, so jealously guarded, might be so easily disposed of? I recalled that he whom he had spoken of as his principal, who had been, as it had turned out, Grendel, had said nothing of the assassination of Agamemnon. |
10 |
| 48 | 59 |
This silence, I suspected, had puzzled, or displeased, Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 48 | 62 |
Desmond of Harfax struggled futilely in the grip of two Kurii. |
10 |
| 48 | 92 |
"Speak your last, Desmond of Harfax," came from the container on the left. |
10 |
| 48 | 93 |
"Gladly," cried Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 48 | 127 |
I did see that Desmond of Harfax was free, one of his captors, headless, beside him. |
10 |
| 48 | 128 |
Desmond of Harfax was on all fours, looking about. |
10 |
| 48 | 169 |
Back with these Kurii, to the side, was Desmond of Harfax, his knife now in hand, and, on the other side, the Lady Bina and myself. |
10 |
| 48 | 327 |
"You live, glorious Grendel!" cried Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 48 | 347 |
"What men will," cried Desmond of Harfax, "may now escape the Cave. |
10 |
| 48 | 355 |
"There is no time to lose," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 48 | 357 |
"We shall leave as soon as possible," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 48 | 363 |
I ran to Desmond of Harfax, and knelt beside him. |
10 |
| 48 | 370 |
"Kill it!" cried Desmond of Harfax, from the center of the room, now on his feet, unsteadily, grasping his arm. |
10 |
| 48 | 372 |
"Kill it, kill it!" cried Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 49 | 72 |
Grendel, and his party, might have provided a rallying point for those who recognized the dangers of lawlessness and anarchy, but his concern was elsewhere, and he would leave the Cave, accompanied by the Lady Bina, Desmond of Harfax, Desmond's cohorts, and several of the men from the Cave, willing ... |
10 |
| 49 | 141 |
Our familiar fellows were with us, Astrinax, Lykos, Desmond of Harfax, Trachinos, and Akesinos. |
10 |
| 49 | 195 |
Too, might not another steel world bring Agamemnon to one of its own laboratories and there restore and rearm him, that he might further pursue, perhaps now to their own advantage, planetary imperialisms? Desmond of Harfax had wanted to kill Agamemnon. |
10 |
| 49 | 240 |
I did not know the whereabouts of Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 51 | 16 |
"Would," said Astrinax, lifting his goblet, "that one other were here, one we know well, one with whom we shared many perils and hardships, the noble Desmond of Harfax!" "Yes," said Lykos. |
10 |
| 51 | 29 |
"It might interest you to know," said the Lady Bina, "that I made a similar offer to Desmond of Harfax, twice". |
10 |
| 51 | 31 |
"Yes," said the Lady Bina, "I offered our pretty Allison twice to Desmond of Harfax, but he would not accept her". |
10 |
| 51 | 75 |
"Noble Desmond of Harfax" I said, "has never had the least interest in the slave, Allison. |
10 |
| 51 | 88 |
"Moreover," I said, "Desmond of Harfax is despicable, so shameless that he has not even acknowledged his duplicity to his fellows. |
10 |
| 51 | 95 |
I would strive to be the worst possible slave to him! I despise the shameless, ungrateful, hypocrite, and fraud, Desmond of Harfax! I loathe him, I hate him! He is thief of trust, a promoter of pretense. |
10 |
| 51 | 143 |
"To Desmond of Harfax," he said. |
10 |
| 51 | 163 |
In the threshold stood Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 51 | 184 |
"Key," said Desmond of Harfax, extending his hand to the side. |
10 |
| 51 | 187 |
Desmond of Harfax then adjusted the new collar, his collar, on the neck of his newly purchased slave, Allison, a barbarian. |
10 |
| 51 | 190 |
"What I please," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 51 | 192 |
"Every word," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 51 | 242 |
Desmond of Harfax reached down, took my bound, right ankle, and dragged me into the sleeping chamber of the Lady Bina. |
10 |
| 51 | 247 |
Knowing that Desmond of Harfax was a decent and honorable man, though he might be a fearsome and demanding master, I was not afraid that I would be fed to sleen, cast to leech plants, or such. |
10 |

I was tied on my knees, my hands before me, fastened to the ring, in the small, bright courtyard, behind a house on Clive, that in which Desmond of Harfax had rented a room. |
10 |
| 52 | 4 |
"Know that you are a slave," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 52 | 8 |
"Desmond of Harfax!" He then gave me another stroke. |
10 |
| 52 | 193 |
"More was involved in the Voltai," said Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 52 | 429 |
"It says," he said, "'I belong to Desmond of Harfax. |
10 |
| 52 | 439 |
"We are soon to Harfax," he said. |
10 |
| 52 | 479 |
"Master will to Harfax?" I said. |
10 |
| 52 | 486 |
"Is Harfax beautiful?" I asked. |
10 |
| 52 | 494 |
"Harfax is beautiful?" I said. |
10 |
| 52 | 498 |
"Harfax is noted for the beauty of its slaves". |
10 |
| 52 | 522 |
"But eventually we must to Harfax". |
10 |
| 53 | 1 |
Harfax is indeed beautiful. |
10 |
| 53 | 22 |
My master, Desmond of Harfax, has been very indulgent in this regard. |

In the house, and here, as the girls spoke, I had heard of lovely Ko-ro-ba, busy Harfax, mighty Ar, and even vast, remote, Turia. |

"Here," said Axel, who drew from his wallet a small coin, a yellow coin, a gold tarsk, perhaps from Besnit or Harfax, where such coins are popular, and tossed it to my captor, who caught it. |

"He is Arnold, a renegade from Harfax, a vagrant who haunted the wharves of Brundisium. |

"Arnold of Harfax," he said, "kindly delivered to me, upon my request, the key to your collar". |

Indeed, Arnold, of Harfax, if that was his name, he whom I continued to think of as Tullius Quintus, of Ar, had twice been offered that for me, on the streets in Ar. |
