The girl before me groaned and shook herself, her hands, unsteady, going to the slave hood, which was buckled over her head. |
10 |
| 5 | 68 |
Surely there was enough to frighten any girl—the height at which she found herself, the savage mount on which she rode, the prospect of the terrible fate that she believed to await her at our journey's end. |
10 |
| 6 | 118 |
I imagined the girl alone on the back of the fierce tarn, unskilled in the mastery of such a mount, without even a tarn-goad to protect herself, if the bird should turn on her. |
10 |
| 7 | 100 |
"She has submitted herself," I replied, confident that the promise of her submission would be fulfilled. |
10 |
| 7 | 147 |
I was surprised at this deference on the part of the daughter of the Ubar, but recalled that she had submitted herself. |
10 |
| 7 | 165 |
In spite of my hold on her wrist, which must have been tight and painful, the daughter of Marlenus straightened herself before me and said arrogantly, "You tharlarion! Do you think that the daughter of the Ubar of all Gor would submit to such as you?" Cruelly I forced her to her knees before me, the... |
10 |
| 7 | 203 |
She looked at me insolently, angry that she had so demeaned herself as to kneel before a coward. |
10 |
| 8 | 101 |
I was surprised that she had not tried to dress herself. |
10 |
| 8 | 118 |
She walked about in the glade, pleased with herself, and twirled once or twice, delighted with the comparative freedom of movement she now enjoyed. |
10 |
| 9 | 30 |
She was further surprised when I left her to herself. |
10 |
| 15 | 229 |
"She submitted herself," said Marlenus. |
10 |
| 15 | 231 |
"And rumor has it," said Mintar, not looking up from the board, "that she pledged herself to Pa-Kur only that some tarnsman she loved might be given a small chance of life". |
10 |
| 19 | 232 |
Sana stood in the arms of Kazrak, and I knew that the former slave girl had found the man to whom she would give herself, not for a hundred tarns, but for love. |

Haughtily she drew them about herself, covering herself as best she could. |
10 |
| 21 | 92 |
In theory, if not in practice, when the girl finds herself branded like an animal, finds her fair skin marked by the iron of a master, she cannot fail, somehow, in the deepest levels of her thought, to regard herself as something which is owned, as mere property, as something belonging to the brute ... |
10 |
| 6 | 110 |
"Only such a man," she tells herself, "could tame me". |
10 |
| 6 | 126 |
More commendably, a free woman may herself, of her own free will, agree to be such a companion. |
10 |
| 6 | 215 |
She stepped out from behind me, proud but resigned to her fate, ready to give herself over to these wretches to be collared and chained, stripped and sold in the markets of Gor. |
10 |

The same maiden whom her father must harshly order into the presence of her suitor, the same shy girl who, her parents approvingly note, finds herself delicately unable to raise her eyes in his presence, is probably the same girl who slapped him with a fish yesterday and hurled such a stream of inve... |
10 |
| 11 | 39 |
The voice came from the woman behind the golden mask, Lara herself. |
10 |
| 11 | 151 |
Only the Tatrix herself and Dorna the Proud sat straight. |
10 |
| 11 | 214 |
"That," I said, "I would hear from the mouth of the Tatrix herself". |
10 |
| 11 | 245 |
She rose, seemingly beside herself with rage. |
10 |
| 11 | 248 |
"No," screamed the Tatrix, and, to the astonishment of all, herself descended the broad steps of the dais. |
10 |
| 11 | 257 |
"I am a woman of Tharna," she screamed, "First in Tharna! First!" Then, beside herself with rage, holding the whip in both hands, she lashed madly at me. |
10 |
| 11 | 261 |
Then, when the Tatrix had exhausted herself, by some effort I find it hard to comprehend, I managed to stand on my feet, bloody, wearing the yoke, my flesh in tatters—and look down upon her. |
10 |
| 13 | 12 |
I wondered if I might be the reason that the Tatrix herself was present. |
10 |
| 13 | 36 |
I looked above the wall and saw, vested in her robes of gold, regal on a golden throne, she who alone might wear a golden mask, she who was First in Tharna—Lara, the Tatrix herself. |
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. |
10 |
| 15 | 72 |
It would surely be a small enough price for the return of the golden Tatrix herself. |
10 |
| 15 | 151 |
"Because," she said, drawing herself to her full height, gathering the golden tattered robes about her, "I am Tatrix of Tharna". |
10 |
| 15 | 246 |
"Talenders," she said to herself. |
10 |
| 18 | 30 |
"He returned only long enough to tarnstrike the Tatrix herself," he said. |
10 |
| 21 | 94 |
When the iron is pulled away and she knows the pain and degradation and smells the odor of her burned flesh, she is supposed to tell herself, understanding its full and terrible import, I AM HIS. |
10 |
| 21 | 122 |
She closed her eyes and tensed herself for the sudden, inevitable, searing flash of pain. |
10 |
| 21 | 244 |
She could not go with me into the Sardar, of course, and when I abandoned her, she, alone and unprotected, would soon fall prey to a beast or find herself on yet another slaver's chain. |
10 |
| 22 | 179 |
I have wondered sometimes if a man, to be a man, must not master a woman and if a woman to be a woman must not know herself mastered. |
10 |
| 23 | 21 |
As I watched her yellow hair swept behind her in the wind and regarded the joyful lineaments of her beauty, I was glad that she had not chosen, whatever might be her reason, to clothe herself in the traditional manner. |
10 |
| 24 | 60 |
Some of the girls looked at her in gratitude for she was free and in doing this she showed them that she did not regard herself as above them. |
10 |
| 24 | 101 |
The true Tatrix of Tharna, Lara herself, is within this room". |
10 |
| 25 | 152 |
Indeed, if she managed to survive at all, she would be fortunate not to find herself wearing an ankle ring on some slaver's chain. |
10 |
| 25 | 153 |
Perhaps she would find herself confined within the walls of some warrior's Pleasure Gardens, to be dressed in silk of his choosing, to have bells locked on her ankles and to know no will other than his; perhaps she would be purchased by the master of a Paga Tavern, or even of a lowly Kal-da shop, to... |
10 |
| 26 | 32 |
"And add to the golden tarn disks," she had exclaimed, "tarn disks of silver to be formed from the masks of our women, for henceforth in Tharna no woman may wear a mask of either gold or silver, not even though she be Tatrix of Tharna herself!" And as she had spoken, according to the customs of Thar... |
10 |
| 26 | 65 |
But within that six months she is expected to find a man of Tharna to whom she will propose herself as a Free Companion. |
10 |
| 26 | 67 |
If she is rejected she may propose herself similarly to yet another of the men of Tharna, and perhaps yet another and another. |
10 |
| 26 | 73 |
It was not her intention to condemn her sisters of Tharna into interminable and miserable bondage but to force them to take this strange first step on the road she herself had traveled, one of the unusual roads that may lead to love. |

Vika was a bandit princess, accustomed to be clad in silk and jewels from a thousand looted caravans, to sleep on the richest furs and sup on the most delicate viands, all purloined from galleys, beached and burnt, from the ravished storerooms of outlying, smoking cylinders, from the tables and trea... |
10 |
| 20 | 201 |
After her kiss of gratitude, which might last a good deal longer than she had anticipated, she would find herself forced to kneel and be collared and then, stripped, her wrists confined behind her back in slave bracelets, she would find herself led stumbling away on a slave leash from the field of h... |
10 |

She crawled and stumbled away, for some reason terrified, until she found herself in the stone corner of the chamber. |
10 |
| 5 | 143 |
"Yes," she continued, "I, armed with my beauty, would come to the Sardar and wrest the riches and power of the Priest-Kings from them, for men had always sought to serve me, to give me what I wanted, and were the Priest-Kings not men?" People had strange reasons for entering the Sardar, but the reas... |
10 |
| 5 | 282 |
Almost instantly, reddening, Vika regained her composure and straightened herself, tossing her head and brushing back a melody of blond hair which had fallen across her forehead. |
10 |
| 5 | 289 |
Angrily she pulled the fillet from her hair and threw it to the floor, and turned away to busy herself with the preparation of my meal. |
10 |
| 6 | 26 |
She had not prepared herself a portion but, after I had been served, had knelt silently to one side, back on her heels in the position of a Tower Slave, a slave to whom largely domestic duties would be allotted in the Gorean apartment cylinders. |
10 |
| 6 | 37 |
It was only with difficulty that she had been restrained from hurling herself in mortification from one of the high bridges. |
10 |
| 6 | 45 |
In all these kneeling positions, incidentally, even that of the Pleasure Slave, the Gorean woman carries herself well; her back is straight and her chin is high. |
10 |
| 6 | 73 |
She had not prepared herself a portion and so I had assumed that she had eaten, or was not hungry, or would prepare her own meal later. |
10 |
| 7 | 11 |
I thought I heard her weep, and supposed that she did so for herself, because she was frightened. |
10 |
| 7 | 53 |
I wondered if Vika herself had been instructed by Priest-Kings to subdue me. |
10 |
| 7 | 56 |
Vika would be all unconscious of their machinations; she would simply be herself, which is what the Priest-Kings would desire. |
10 |
| 7 | 58 |
I wondered how many men had fallen at her feet, how many men she had forced to sleep at the foot of the great stone couch, in the shadow of the slave ring, while she herself reclined on the pelts and silks of the master. |
10 |
| 8 | 92 |
She shook herself. |
10 |
| 9 | 7 |
Thus when she has been irritable or otherwise troublesome even a Free Companion may find herself at the foot of the couch looking forward to a pleasant night on the stones, stripped, with neither mat nor blanket, chained to a slave ring precisely as though she were a lowly slave girl. |
10 |
| 9 | 229 |
I watched Vika and suddenly she seemed too to know and her head lifted and her eyes widened with horror and she crept to her knees, her hands before her face as though to shield herself and she shuddered and suddenly uttered a wild, long, terrible scream of abject fear. |
10 |
| 16 | 163 |
"Was the fact that I was placed in the chamber of the girl Vika of Treve considered?" "Sarm suspects," said Misk, "and it was he who arranged your quarters, in order that you might succumb to her charms, that she might enthrall you, that she might bend you helplessly, pliantly to her will and whim a... |
10 |
| 20 | 120 |
As well as she could, sobbing and trembling, the girl looked downward through the transparent top of the plastic cylinder and regarded herself. |
10 |
| 20 | 121 |
She now saw herself in a strange garment. |
10 |
| 20 | 196 |
There are cases where a free woman in the vicinity of a man she desired has deliberately placed herself in jeopardy. |
10 |
| 26 | 61 |
It must have been a great shock for Vika to see herself as she now was. |
10 |
| 26 | 76 |
"My Master is clever," she said, straightening herself proudly. |
10 |
| 26 | 91 |
She looked about herself at the plastic walls, and shivered. |
10 |
| 26 | 213 |
Vika shook her head slowly and numbly looked about herself disbelievingly—at the mat, the jar of water, the canisters along the wall. |
10 |
| 26 | 226 |
With a cry she leaped to her feet and threw herself against the door, her face suddenly wild with tears, and pounded on it madly with her small fists. |
10 |
| 26 | 264 |
That she might survive it seemed plausible that evolution would have favored not only the woman attractive to men but the one who had an unusual set of traits—among them perhaps the literally instinctual desire to be his, to belong to him, to seek him out for her mate and submit herself to hi... |
10 |

But then, from the Mother herself, behind me, I sensed once again the transmission of negation, and I heard on the translators that faced me, the simple expression "No". |
10 |
| 27 | 210 |
Now the Mother herself was silent. |
10 |
| 27 | 362 |
Then before my horrified eyes the carcass of that ancient she began to shiver and tremble and I stood back as she struggled to my amazement to her feet and reared herself to the height of a Priest-King, her antennae extended to their very lengths as though grasping, clutching, trying to sense someth... |
10 |

With a cry of joy she flung herself into my arms weeping. |
10 |
| 31 | 14 |
"I wish to see my Master triumph!" she begged, and that argument seemed to sway golden Sarm, and Vika found herself a member of our party. |
10 |
| 34 | 109 |
I was pleased that she would go to Ar, where she, though a woman, might learn the craft of medicine under masters appointed by Kazrak, where she might found a new life for herself far from warlike, plundering Treve, where she might work as befitted the daughter of a skilled, courageous father, where... |
10 |

"Cabot!" cried Vika and broke away from him and hurled herself into my arms weeping. |

She straightened herself. |

I thought I saw her tremble for just an instant, realizing herself secured, but then she stood quietly, looking about herself as though bored. |
10 |
| 12 | 309 |
I held her by the shoulders and suddenly she turned herself in my hands and, as I was sitting cross-legged, threw herself on her back across my lap, her right wrist still chained to her left ankle. |
10 |
| 25 | 621 |
And yet this beautiful, soft, proud thing stood there, though ringed and branded, though collared, bold and brazen flinging at me, eyes bright, her challenge, the eternal challenge of the unconquered female, that of the untamed woman, daring the male to touch her, to try, she resisting, to reduce he... |
10 |

The Gorean master, commonly, likes a spirited girl, one who fights the whip and collar, resisting until at last, perhaps months later, she is overwhelmed and must acknowledge herself his, utterly and without reservation, then fearing only that he might tire of her and sell her to another. |
10 |
| 6 | 33 |
She lifted her head and seeing the wild, fearsome scarred face that stared into hers, she suddenly screamed hysterically, and tried to jerk and tear herself away, but the lance held her in place. |
10 |
| 6 | 35 |
It was clear she could not believe her eyes, that she understood nothing, that she did not comprehend her surroundings, that she thought herself mad. |
10 |
| 6 | 104 |
"No!" Then she tried once more to free herself. |
10 |
| 7 | 78 |
We were all, at last, satisfied that even the girl herself did not know. |
10 |
| 7 | 88 |
It was perhaps only that she was convenient, and, of course, that she was lovely, thus a fitting bearer of the collar, herself a gift with the message to please the Tuchuks, and perhaps better dispose them toward its contents. |
10 |
| 7 | 97 |
Rather he told her to stand and straighten herself. |
10 |
| 7 | 120 |
She would show him a woman indeed—allowing herself for the instant to be insolently and fully female—showing him in her walk her contempt and scorn for him. |
10 |
| 7 | 143 |
Terrified the girl straightened herself and again, knees placed, back straight and head high, knelt before us in the position of the Pleasure Slave. |
10 |
| 8 | 101 |
I tried to talk to Kamchak and help him to understand the shock that the girl had undergone, the total alteration of her life and circumstances, unexplained—finding herself alone on the prairie, the Tuchuks, the capture, the return to the Wagons, her examination in the grassy avenue, the Siri... |
10 |
| 8 | 133 |
The Gorean girl is, even if free, accustomed to slavery; she will perhaps own one or more slaves herself; she knows that she is weaker than men and what this can mean; she knows that cities fall and caravans are plundered; she knows she might even, by a sufficiently bold warrior, be captured in her ... |
10 |
| 8 | 275 |
I feared that Tuka would not run well, thus losing us the match, that she would deliberately allow herself to be easily snared. |
10 |
| 8 | 318 |
She must have been counting to herself because only an instant or so after Conrad had spurred after her she looked over her shoulder, seeing him approaching. |
10 |
| 8 | 319 |
She must then have counted about three beats to herself, and then she began to break her running pattern, moving to one side and the other, making it difficult to approach her swiftly. |
10 |
| 8 | 470 |
She was off balance but righted herself and with an angry cry sped from the circle. |
10 |
| 8 | 492 |
Her hands were out, trying instinctively to maintain her balance; the bola weights were still snapping about her ankles in tiny, angry circles; in an instant she would fall to the grass; racing past I seized her by the hair and threw her over the saddle; scarcely did she comprehend what was happenin... |
10 |
| 8 | 523 |
Because she had annoyed me the kiss that was hers was that of master to a slave girl; yet was I patient because the kiss itself was not enough; I was not satisfied until, despite herself, I read in my arms her body's sudden, involuntary admission that I had conquered. |
10 |
| 9 | 142 |
The girl herself, of course, standing or kneeling in the presence of the master, may be told to drop the garment. |
10 |
| 9 | 233 |
Aphris of Turia, pleased with herself, assumed her place between the merchant and Kamchak, kneeling back on her heels in the position of the Gorean free woman. |
10 |
| 9 | 279 |
I gathered he did not understand its true value, seeing that he had apparently discussed its exchange with some seriousness earlier in the evening—only that, apparently, he wanted more than Saphrar was offering, even though that might be Aphris of Turia herself. |
10 |
| 10 | 131 |
It was best that she understand herself for what she was, a barbarian slave girl in the wagon of Kamchak of the Tuchuks. |
10 |
| 10 | 280 |
A girl might propose herself to stand, as had Aphris of Turia, but this would not guarantee that she would be chosen, for the criteria of Love War are exacting and, as much as possible, objectively applied. |
10 |
| 10 | 369 |
I suddenly glimpsed the face of Aphris of Turia contort with rage and she tried to free herself. |
10 |
| 10 | 500 |
The girl herself was speechless. |
10 |
| 11 | 300 |
Then she looked about herself, disdainfully at the interior of the wagon. |
10 |
| 11 | 332 |
The girl did not slay herself. |
10 |
| 12 | 173 |
She said, very softly, "Aphris of Turia, the slave girl, begs her master that she might clothe herself". |
10 |
| 12 | 245 |
Elizabeth Cardwell also had her head up, kneeling very straight, obviously not unconscious that she herself was the object of a look or two. |
10 |
| 12 | 382 |
I heard Kamchak hush up Aphris of Turia and he gave Elizabeth a poke in the ribs that she might bestir herself. |
10 |
| 12 | 484 |
She was of Earth and knew not the flames which her words might have evoked in the breast of a Gorean warrior—nor did she understand herself truly nor the relation in which she, slave girl, stood to a free man to whom she had been for the hour given—I could not tell her that another war... |
10 |
| 13 | 85 |
The Whip Caress is commonly used among Slavers to force a girl to betray herself. |
10 |
| 13 | 94 |
She knew, as well as we, that she had showed herself—that her blood had leaped within her and its memory must now mock the hysteria of her denial—that she had acknowledged to us and to herself, perhaps for the first time, the incontrovertible splendor of her beauty and its meaning. |
10 |
| 15 | 83 |
Aphris, in particular, seemed utterly distraught by Kamchak's unreasoning cruelty, his callous treatment of herself and Elizabeth—perhaps most by his sudden, seeming indifference to her. |
10 |
| 19 | 108 |
The girl's head flew up and she spun to face him, pulling to free herself. |
10 |
| 19 | 116 |
She was trying to free herself. |
10 |
| 19 | 151 |
Irrationally, like a terrified, vicious little animal, Hereena struggled again to free herself. |
10 |
| 19 | 161 |
She straightened herself. |
10 |
| 20 | 84 |
"My plan exactly," said Harold, "but first should you not teach me to master the tarn?" I heard Hereena moan with horror and she began to struggle madly to free herself of the scarves that bound her. |
10 |
| 20 | 139 |
She, a girl of the plains, familiar with fierce kaiila, herself a proud, spirited wench, brave and daring, was yet—like many women—utterly for some reason terrified of a tarn. |
10 |
| 20 | 141 |
On the other hand Harold seemed quite pleased that she was beside herself with terror. |
10 |
| 21 | 119 |
Dina had lived for a time on the savings of the family, but had then taken them, sewn in the lining of her robes, and purchased a place on a caravan wagon bound for Ar, which caravan had been ambushed by Kassars, in which raid she herself, of course, had fallen into their hands. |
10 |
| 22 | 91 |
Permit her to veil herself if she wishes. |
10 |
| 25 | 4 |
She clutched about herself as well as she could a richly wrought yellow cloth, a silken yellow sheet. |
10 |
| 25 | 328 |
She was looking at herself in the mirror, holding her head this way and that. |
10 |
| 25 | 355 |
"It means, I think," I said, "that only the woman who has utterly surrendered—and can utterly surrender—losing herself in a man's touch—can be truly a woman, and being what she is, is then free". |
10 |
| 25 | 391 |
"You think," I said, "that I am saying that a woman is nothing—that is not it—I am saying she is marvelous, but that she becomes truly herself and magnificent only after the surrenders of love". |
10 |
| 25 | 393 |
"That is why," I remarked, "that upon this barbaric world the woman who cannot surrender herself is upon occasion simply conquered". |
10 |
| 25 | 399 |
"The Gorean myths have it," I said, "that the woman longs for this identity—to be herself in being his—if only for the moment of paradox in which she is slave and thus freed". |
10 |
| 25 | 432 |
She straightened herself. |
10 |
| 25 | 624 |
She seemed to me clearly out to win, to enjoy herself perhaps, but to win, and then exact from me something in the way of vengeance for all the months and days in which she, proud, independent wench, had been only slave. |
10 |
| 25 | 633 |
Then she bent to find for herself among the riches of the wagon yellow Pleasure Silks. |
10 |
| 25 | 684 |
She arranged herself, and smiled up at me. |
10 |
| 25 | 745 |
My grip on her ankle was not cruel but in all her womanness she knew herself held. |
10 |
| 25 | 800 |
She cried out suddenly as she found herself fully mine. |
10 |
| 25 | 908 |
"Well," said I, "what of her?" "As you may have heard," whispered the girl, "Miss Elizabeth Cardwell, the nasty little wench, was forced to yield herself as a slave girl to a master". |
10 |
| 26 | 560 |
Again we laughed and, suddenly, we urged the kaiila forward in great bounding strides, eager to reach the wagons, each of us, for waiting in these wagons were three girls, desirable, marvelous, ours, Hereena, she who had been of the First Wagon, the slave of Harold, her master; Aphris of Turia, almo... |

It was hard for me to believe that this marvelous, collared beauty in my arms was once a simple girl of Earth, that this astounding wench, Tuchuk and Gorean, was the same as Miss Elizabeth Cardwell, the young secretary who so long before had found herself inexplicably thrust into intrigues and circu... |

There were several people gathered about, near the wagon of Kamchak, among them Tuka's master, and the girl herself. |

Elizabeth, predictably, did not care to leave without me, but she recognized the plan as a good one; if she could be independently removed from the House there would be less for Caprus and me to worry about; further, she naturally wished Virginia and Phyllis to have the same opportunity for freedom ... |
10 |
| 19 | 177 |
She scratched herself, and looked about herself, seemingly obtuse and surly. |
10 |
| 4 | 39 |
Then she had submitted herself to the House of Cernus, kneeling before one of its agents, lowering her head, extending her arms, wrists crossed. |
10 |
| 5 | 144 |
Sometimes I was forced to remind myself that she was Miss Elizabeth Cardwell of Earth, and not, as she lost herself uncontrollably in our pleasures, hands clutching at the slave ring, a Gorean slave girl, bred for the pleasures of a master. |
10 |
| 6 | 77 |
Then she leaned forward, bending her knees slightly, her body graceful, and spoke, her voice a whisper in my ear, an invitation, "Wine, Master?" as though offering not wine, but herself. |
10 |

This is a device used, when transporting slaves in open baskets, to prevent one from struggling to her feet and in flight throwing herself over the side of the basket. |

I supposed it was possible that a girl might awaken, in the rushing cold air, and attempt to hurl herself to the ground. |
