Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
3	165	His whole body, his carriage, the holding of his head bespoke the warrior, a man who knew his weapons and, on the simple world of Gor, knew that he could kill almost any man who might stand against him.	10
19	97	I knew almost nothing of the fabled Priest-Kings, but I did know that something of the sort must exist, for I had been brought to Gor by an advanced technology, and I knew that some force or power lay in the mysterious Sardar Mountains.	10
1	29	Fortunately, my departmental chairman, a gentle, bespectacled man, whose speciality was American economic history, knew even less than I did, or, at least, was considerate enough to allow me to believe so.	10
1	39	The first thing I did was check my compass, as if I knew what I was up to, and then proceeded to leave the highway well behind me.	10
1	92	It resembled some now outdated English script, but I knew too little about such things to hazard much of a guess at the date.	10
1	113	A thought struck me with sudden swiftness, and I was afraid, but I knew what I must do.	10
1	115	Somewhere, deep in whatever I am, I knew that and had known it from the beginning.	10
1	133	I knew the signature, though I could not remember the man.	10
1	176	I knew that it was the envelope that had burst into flame, taking with it my knapsack and bedroll.	10
1	188	Who knew the nature of the things or forces that were afoot that night in the mountains, things and forces that might perhaps smash me, casually, as one innocently steps on an insect without being aware of it or caring? I still had the compass, and that constituted a firm link to reality.	10
2	27	But as I stood at the window, I knew that this could not be my mother planet.	10
2	170	His supposition seemed plausible to me, for from the very beginning I had understood that in something or someone existed a force and clarity of understanding beside which the customary habits of rationality as I knew them were little more than the tropisms of the unicellular animal.	10
2	230	If the planet had been moved at all, and I knew enough to understand that this was empirically possible, it must have been brought into our system from a closer star.	10
3	41	Whereas there was a main common tongue on Gor, with apparently several related dialects or sublanguages, some of the Gorean languages bore in sound little resemblance to anything I had heard before, at least as languages; they resembled rather the cries of birds and the growls of animals; they were ...	10
3	101	I gathered that he knew of such a man.	10
3	123	I had seen few women, but knew that they, when free, were promoted or demoted within the caste system according to the same standards and criteria as the men, although this varied, I was told, considerably from city to city.	10
3	270	No one in the City of Cylinders, as far as I knew, maintained tharlarions, though they were supposedly quite common on Gor, particularly in the lower areas—in swampland and on the deserts.	10
3	284	The next thing I knew his beak was open; I caught a brief sight of his thin, sharp tongue, as long as a man's arm, darting out and back, and then, snapping at me, he lunged forward, striking at me with that monstrous beak, and I heard the Older Tarl cry out in horror, "The goad! The goad!".	10
5	25	But, as my father knew, strife among the free cities would be the very madness which Marlenus of Ar would welcome most; better even that Ko-ro-ba should suffer the indignity of being thought a city of cowards.	10
5	33	I knew little more about her than her name, Sana, and the fact that she was a slave from the City of Thentis.	10
5	58	I knew nothing about her, except that her name was Talena, that she was rumored to be one of the beauties of Ar, and that I was supposed to kill her.	10
5	63	In my heart I knew I would not carry out this plan.	10
5	154	But an hour before midnight, on the day I knew was the Planting Feast of Sa-Tarna, I climbed again to the saddle of my tarn, drew back on the one-strap, and rose above the lush trees of the swamp forest.	10
5	167	As I passed him, I saw his eyes wide in the Y of his helmet, as, in that split second, he knew I could not miss.	10
5	179	With his start, he would be confident, but I knew that my tarn could overtake him easily.	10
6	150	I knew the fight was over.	10
6	202	I knew that the insect, who would allow his kind to be exterminated before he would injure any rational creature, must have some plan in mind, or at least I assumed he did.	10
6	210	It knew it.	10
8	132	"You mean you never knew your father?" I asked.	10
8	144	"I knew it," she said.	10
8	187	I knew that she spoke the truth or something much like it.	10
9	150	Kazrak of Port Kar was a superb swordsman, but in the first moments we both knew that I was his master.	10
10	49	He would have had a man killed rather than risk the loss of a tenth of a tarn disk, so well he knew the codes of his caste.	10
11	11	Without looking at me, her shoulders shook, and I knew she was weeping.	10
11	35	I did not tell her, but if that was decreed to be her fate and I could not prevent it, I knew she would not be impaled alone.	10
11	46	"I want to see the market," Talena said eagerly, and I knew the market she meant.	10
12	60	I knew that I would not, some days hence, reach the delta of the Vosk and the cities in the delta except perhaps as a bound corpse, withered by exposure and the lack of water.	10
12	87	The tarn, a brown tarn with a black crest like most wild tarns, streaked for that vague, distant smudge I knew marked the escarpments of some mountain wilderness.	10
12	95	The flight of the tarn was serene, and I, grateful to be free at last of the painful Frame of Humiliation, found myself, strangely enough, almost reconciled to the savage but swift fate I knew awaited me.	10
13	8	In the far distance I could see the silver wire I knew must be the great Vosk, could see the abrupt shift from the grassy plains to the Margin of Desolation.	10
14	159	There was a rim of red light over the mountains, and I knew it was nearly dawn.	10
15	15	I knew that the worst of such devices would be invisible.	10
15	29	One aspect of the siege which I knew would exist but which I obviously could not witness would be the sensitive duel of mine and countermine which must be taking place between the camp of Pa-Kur and the city of Ar.	10
15	121	Without needing to approach more closely, I knew the other man.	10
15	245	"May the Priest-Kings favor you," he said, and, inside the folds of the hood, I knew he was chuckling.	10
16	3	It would presumably be suicidal to make any direct attempt to cut through to her, and yet, if this was the last resort, I knew I would make the attempt.	10
16	7	On the other hand, the thought of her in the tents of Pa-Kur enraged me, and I knew I would be unable to restrain myself indefinitely.	10
16	108	Obviously, I was not anyone he knew.	10
17	6	Of those actually living in the compound of Pa-Kur, it was perhaps only he who knew the true location of the girl.	10
17	104	Still, the days in the tarn cot, gigantic though it was, must have been confining for that Ubar of the Skies, my tarn, and I knew he would relish flight, the chance to pit his wings once again against the fierce winds of Gor.	10
18	6	I knew that I must try to rescue her.	10
18	41	I was not, of course, concerned with facilitating the entry of Pa-Kur's tarnsmen, who, as far as I knew, did not even constitute a portion of the garrison force, but I was concerned with opening the sky over the city in case I, and others, might be able to utilize it as a road to freedom.	10
18	53	The eyes of the man narrowed, and he regarded me with hatred, for he well knew what was to be the fate of the officers of Ar.	10
18	121	I knew that when I entered the palace my presence would be inexplicable to the guardsmen and that I would not long be able to pass myself off as a herald of Pa-Kur, certainly not when it became clear that it was my intention to depart with Marlenus.	10
18	172	I seemed to be beside myself and fought as if I might not be what I knew I was, what I thought myself to be—Tarl Cabot, a simple warrior, one man.	10
18	173	The thought flamed through me in the violent delirium of battle that in those moments I was many men, an army, that no man could stand against me, that it was not my blade or my heart they faced but something I myself only dimly sensed, something intangible but irresistible, an avalanche, a storm, a...	10
19	125	The men of Ar were outnumbered perhaps three to one, but I knew they would give a good account of themselves.	10
19	182	It knew only that it had been taken by surprise, at a disadvantage by undetermined numbers of disciplined troops that were pouring down on them, while from above, enemy tarnsmen, unchallenged, emptied their quivers into their ranks.	10
19	194	I knew I spoke the truth.	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.	10

19	159	I knew then as I knew now that I would go instead to the Sardar Mountains, that I would enter them and seek the Priest-Kings themselves.	10
1	45	I knew that I had been an instant from death.	10
1	134	Somehow I knew that this was the night on which I would learn the secret of Tarl Cabot.	10
2	60	I knew the handle, and I could recognize certain marks on the blade.	10
2	66	I wondered why, and knew only that the Priest-Kings had intended it so.	10
3	37	I knew the support of that weight depended partly on the skillful use of the cords and back, but sheer strength was only too obviously necessary, and this man, and his caste brothers, over the generations, had been shaped to their task.	10
3	64	I knew it would be from the time of day at which I had encountered him.	10
3	88	He would speak little himself, being unskilled in speech, and being too proud to form sentences which he knew would most likely be stumbling and ungrammatical, but would sit by the fire until dawn refusing to let me sleep, wanting me to talk to him, to tell him stories, to recount adventures, to giv...	10
3	89	What I said, I knew, would be less important than the fact that something was said, that he had not been alone again.	10
3	135	Somehow I knew Zosk would not strike.	10
4	21	I asked myself, in a sane moment, if I should not seek shelter, and I knew that I should, but I could not—because questions burned within me that I could not dare to answer.	10
4	23	I sought a truth I did not know, but knew I must discover—and it lay at the end of this road.	10
5	111	It was all I knew about him.	10
5	120	Like every man of Gor I knew the direction of the Sardar Mountains, home of the Priest-Kings, a forbidden vastness which no man below the mountains, no mortal, may penetrate.	10
6	11	I would have given much for a tarn in my journey, though I knew no tarn would fly into the mountains.	10
6	36	In the cities of Gor that I knew, with the possible exception of Tharna, women had been most free in Ko-ro-ba, but now Ko-ro-ba was no more.	10
6	62	If she were of Ko-ro-ba, I knew that I could not, for her own welfare, stay with her or help her.	10
6	151	I knew that this might be the first time a man had looked upon her face, except perhaps a member of her own family, if she had such.	10
6	180	By their shield insignia and blue helmets I knew them to be men of Tharna.	10
8	50	Besides, as they did not know that I knew they followed me, this gave me a certain advantage in the matter.	10
8	62	Yet I knew that this city was, from my point of view, one of the most enlightened and civilized on Gor.	10
9	100	I knew he would not care to return it.	10
10	25	I knew that if justice were done in Tharna I would be acquitted, yet I was uneasy—for how was I to know if my case would be fairly heard and decided? That I had been in possession of Ost's sack of coins would surely seem good prima-facie evidence of guilt, and this might well sway the decisio...	10
11	192	"Ost knew himself to be suspected of plotting against the throne".	10
11	195	In that way he might at one time appear free from guilt and destroy the man who knew of his complicity".	10
12	18	I might crawl to it on my belly, and if my hunger were great enough, I knew I must, but the thought angered me.	10
12	96	"It was I," she continued, "who apprehended and challenged him, I who saw the lyre beneath his gray robes and knew him for a singer.	10
12	115	"I knew then that I was no better than he, no better than a beast, worthy only to be a slave".	10
12	124	"He made me promise to follow him, but I knew I could not".	10
13	7	One, silent, to my left, I knew to be Andreas of the Desert City of Tor.	10
14	8	Hideous though the death might seem to the silver masks of Tharna, they did not know that I was a tarnsman, and knew these birds, their power, their ferocity; that in my way I loved them; and that as a warrior I would not find a death by tarn ignoble.	10
14	14	I rejoiced in this new freedom, in the absence of the yoke, though I knew it was given to me only in order to improve the spectacle.	10
14	42	I know this sounds strange, but I believe some animals have pride, and if any did, I knew that this monster was one of them.	10
14	53	As I stood beside the bird, I felt happy, though I knew it was intended to be my executioner.	10
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...	10
14	96	I knew that I gazed upon one of the great and terrible predators of Gor.	10
14	114	I knew that the warriors of Tharna would have to kill two of us, for the tarn would defend me to the death.	10
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...	10
14	181	And there were how many more, yoked and unyoked, bound and free, in the mines, on the Great Farms, in the city itself who suffered the misery of Tharna and her laws, who were subject to the crushing weight of her traditions, and knew at best nothing better in life than a bowl of cheap Kal-da at the ...	10
15	41	Yet I knew there would be tarnsmen in Tharna, and good ones, for her name was respected among the martial, hostile cities of Gor.	10
15	95	I knew that if there was anything that struck terror into the heart of the Tatrix, it was the tarn.	10
17	32	Yet I knew, as Andreas had said, I would learn to go to the trough, for I had no wish to die, and I would not continue to live on his charity.	10
17	86	* * * * In the morning, though I knew it was morning only by the curses of the Whip Slaves, the cracking of the whips, the cries of the slaves and the rattle of chains, I and my fellow prisoners crawled from our cell, emerging again into the broad, rectangular room which lay directly beyond.	10
17	111	He had understood me, and he knew that his life was in danger.	10
18	58	And in time, each of us knew the others who shared his chain.	10
18	68	Yet from their faces I knew that the contagion of self-respect, of nobility, flamed in the mines beneath Tharna.	10
18	86	I now knew how we could arrange to have the chamber flooded.	10
19	26	"Thank you, Masters," said Ost, sniveling with relief, his face once more resuming that pinched, sly look I knew so well.	10
19	55	Cell after cell was emptied of its wretched chained occupants, only to be refilled with shackled guardsmen and Whip Slaves, men who knew that the least sign of resistance would bring only a swift and bloody death.	10
19	57	This was done as if by plan and yet I knew that it was the spontaneous action of men who had come to respect themselves, the men of the mines of Tharna.	10
19	65	I saw the great valve which I knew would flood the mines of Tharna, and saw that it remained closed.	10
19	66	I was proud when I saw that my slaves had defended the valve, for about it lay the bodies of soldiers who had tried to reach it; but I was most proud when I realized that the slaves had not now opened the valve, when they knew that below, in the confines of those dismal shafts and cells, chained and...	10
19	95	"Let it be done," said the men, first one and then another, until there was a sober chorus of assent, quiet but powerful, and I knew that never before in this harsh world had men spoken thus.	10
19	123	Andreas knew as well as I that men did not return from the Sardar Mountains.	10
19	132	"Are you truly of the Caste of Poets?" "Never more truly than now," said Andreas, "for how could my songs be more important than the things they celebrate?" I marveled that he had said this, for I knew that the young Andreas of Tor might have given his arm or years of his life for what might be a tr...	10
19	139	Perhaps both of us wondered that friendship should exist between members of such different castes, but perhaps both of us knew, though we did not say so, that in the hearts of men arms and song are never far distant.	10
19	151	I knew that little passed on Gor that was not somehow known in the Sardar Mountains.	10
19	156	Yes, I knew that the power of the Priest-Kings—rumored even to extend to the control of gravity—could lay waste cities, scatter populations, separate friends, tear lovers from one another's arms, bring hideous death to whomsoever it might choose.	10
19	157	As all men of Gor I knew that their power inspired terror throughout a world and that it could not be withstood.	10
19	158	The words of the man of Ar, he who had worn the robes of the Initiates, he who had brought me the message of the Priest-Kings on the road to Ko-ro-ba that violent night months before, rang in my ears, "Throw yourself upon your sword, Tarl of Ko-ro-ba!" But I knew then that I would not throw myself u...	10
20	6	I knew that I didn't have a great deal of time, for the avenging tarnsmen of Tharna would soon be visible against the three moons.	10
20	52	I knew the hatred of men is but a feeble thing compared to the hatred of women, and I wondered how much it would take to slake the thirst for vengeance of such a woman as Dorna the Proud.	10
20	120	I knew now that it was true, what I had been told, that those who entered the mountains would do so on foot.	10
20	128	I think, too, though it is perhaps still more absurd, that he knew that I would not be waiting for him when he returned from his hunt.	10
21	72	I knew tarnsmen sometimes silenced their captives in the same way.	10
21	209	In annoyance, looking over the rings of Targo and the sapphires which hung from his ears, I knew he would be a much better judge of their value than I.	10
21	260	Both he and I knew it was almost worthless.	10
22	104	I knew she had spoken the truth.	10
22	107	"Because when I first saw you I knew you from a thousand forbidden dreams".	10
22	124	For the first time in my life my senses were kindled—for the first time I could feel the movements of clothing on my body, for the first time I noticed how an eye opens and what, truly, is the feel of a hand's touch—and I knew then that I was no more nor less than he or any other livin...	10
23	22	Yet though I could not repress my admiration of this girl and the transformation which had been wrought in her from the cold Tatrix of Tharna to the humiliated slave to the glorious creature who now stood beside me my thoughts were mostly in the Sardar, for I knew that I had not yet kept my appointm...	10
23	30	She knew as well as I that those who entered the mountains did not return.	10
23	31	She knew as well as I, perhaps better, the fearful power of the Priest-Kings.	10
23	209	I too smiled for resistance was useless, yet I knew that I would resist, that I would not be disarmed until I lay dead on the stones of the street.	10
24	19	Almost as one they cried out, "Tal, Warrior!" "Tal, Warriors!" I responded, raising my arm, addressing them all by the title of my caste, for I knew that in their common cause each was a warrior.	10
24	30	"Free Kal-da for all!" cried Kron, and when the proprietor, who knew the codes of his caste, tried to object, Kron flung a golden tarn disk at him.	10
24	150	Though he wore the blue helmet of Tharna I knew that it was Thorn.	10
24	155	When at last I stood unslain on the black cobblestones at the foot of the double rampart I knew that though Dorna the Proud might rule in Tharna, though it might be she who sat upon the golden throne of the city, that it was the word of a warrior that ruled on those ramparts above me.	10
24	245	The floor seemed solid, but this time I knew the dangers it concealed.	10
25	37	"You see," she said, "my master has defeated you, as he knew he could, not by the sword but by the purchase of time.	10
25	67	Inside the basket was a woman whose carriage and figure I knew to be that of Dorna the Proud, though she now wore only a simple silver mask of Tharna.	10
25	84	An instant before I knew the blade must fall I released my grip on the animal's neck and slipped under its belly.	10
25	117	I suddenly knew the answer, that Thorn somehow had loved this cruel woman, that his warrior's heart had been turned to her though he had never looked upon her face, though she had never given him a smile or the touch of her hand.	10
25	118	And I knew then that Thorn, henchman though he might have been, dissolute and savage antagonist, had yet been greater than she who had been the object of his hopeless, tragic affection.	10
25	123	I knew that Dorna would have little chance alone on Gor.	10
25	141	Her silver-gloved hands clenched in fury upon the one-strap and beneath those shimmering gauntlets I knew the knuckles, drained of blood, were white with rage.	10
26	56	I do not know that my own decision would have been so harsh, but I admit that Lara knew her city and its silver masks better than I.	10
26	117	Thus it is that I perhaps move in the patterns of Priest-Kings—that perhaps I pledge my vengeance and set out for the Sardar as they knew that I would, as they had calculated and understood and planned.	10

2	4	I knew his caste, and he knew mine, and it was enough.	10
26	272	"I wanted to be free but I knew that you owned me—though you had not touched me nor kissed me—I knew that I was from that moment your slave; your eyes told me that I was owned and my most secret heart acknowledged it".	10
29	41	I knew nothing of the armament of the ships of Sarm and I knew I had only the silver tube in my own craft, a weapon far outclassed in destructive potential by the gravitational disrupters mounted in the ships of Sarm.	10
33	55	He knew! He knew as well as I that the gravitational field of the planet was being reestablished.	10
33	113	With great suddenness I realized that what I knew, and what others knew, would make no difference to the world of Gor.	10
1	7	None of the animals of Gor, as far as I knew, could enter the Sardar.	10
1	51	If I should meet him I knew he would thrust himself upon me and insist on being taken into the Sardar, though he would know it would mean his death, and I would have to bundle him in his blue robes, hurl him into a rain barrel and make my escape.	10
1	53	Torm had stumbled into more than one well in his life and no one who knew him would think it strange to find him sputtering about at the bottom of one.	10
1	95	I myself had seen the power of Priest-Kings and knew that such beings existed.	10
1	99	He had disobeyed and he had been destroyed, immediately and with grotesque dispatch, but the important thing was, I told myself, that he had disobeyed, that he could disobey, that he had been able to disobey and choose the ignominious death he knew must follow.	10
2	37	I had heard the tolling before, and knew that it signified that yet another mortal had entered the Sardar.	10
2	57	But I knew that the mountains were not empty, for I had evidence of Priest-Kings.	10
3	27	I knew it was freezing on my back.	10
3	66	He knew my name.	10
4	133	I knew then that I had not been mistaken before.	10
4	135	I knew then that Parp, whatever he might be, was not a man.	10
4	149	* * * * I examined the throne and found no trace of a door behind it, but I knew that one must exist.	10
5	139	I knew that she now feared me, but for what reason I was uncertain.	10
7	90	For all I knew, a Priest-King could wait like a stone or tree, nerveless until necessary.	10
7	94	That it knew that I was waiting.	10
7	118	I knew now that I had not been alone.	10
8	85	I could taste a little blood and knew that some of the fragments from the sensors had cut my face.	10
8	100	I had never been there but I knew her reputation.	10
8	141	The only two cities, other than Ar, which I knew that Treve did not periodically attack were mountainous Thentis, famed for its tarn flocks, and Ko-ro-ba, my own city.	10
8	165	Yes, I knew the reputation of Treve.	10
9	72	"But you never knew her," I said.	10
9	112	"I wonder if they knew," she mused.	10
9	120	I knew that Gorean caste lines, though largely following birth, were not inflexible, and that a man who did not care for his caste might be allowed to change caste, if approved by the High Council of his city, an approval usually contingent on his qualifications for the work of another caste and the...	10
9	221	I knew that it was near.	10
9	227	I knew now that it was here.	10
9	241	I could not conjecture the nature of the creature's experience but I knew that I stood within the center of its sensory field.	10
9	246	I knew what it would say.	10
12	134	He was shaking with the signs I knew now to be associated with amusement.	10
14	115	Occasionally after we got to know one another better, he would even allow me to groom him, and the first time he allowed me, with the small grooming fork used by favored Muls, to comb his antennae I knew that he trusted me, and liked me, though for what reason I could not tell.	10
14	143	In an Ahn of course I no longer wanted to go to the Beetle and I knew then she had saved my life.	10
14	189	I knew that the Priest-King had no need of the torch.	10
15	86	"Would Sarm have this male killed if he knew he were here?" I asked.	10
16	111	"She knew," said Misk, "for though she was a woman of Earth she had been to Gor".	10
17	22	I knew there was no expression in the language of the Priest-Kings which was a satisfactory equivalent for the expression.	10
17	61	* * * * I did not ask to see the Mother, for I knew that was forbidden to those of the human kind, but I found Sarm a most attentive and gracious guide, quick to answer my questions and suggest places of interest.	10
18	2	I knew only that he had been, as Sarm had put it, pleased to retain Gur.	10
19	16	I wondered if he knew about the chamber which lay beneath my case.	10
19	66	I would expect to find the heart, or its correspondent organ or organs, in the thorax, but then I would have supposed that the respiratory cavities were also in the thorax and I knew that they were actually in the abdomen.	10
20	56	Now I knew the purpose of the device in the room—why it was there and what it did—but why had Mul-Al-Ka and Mul-Ba-Ta brought me here? A panel to the side slid open and two plastic-clad Muls entered.	10
20	98	I wondered if the girl knew that a plate of her brain traces was being prepared, which would be correlated with the sensors guarding the quarters of a Chamber Slave.	10
23	20	Yet I myself I knew would have preferred to see the assailant and so I found myself wishing that this brief, terrible privilege had been Vika of Treve's, for I remembered her as a woman of courage and pride.	10
23	59	I found I did not even have to stop and search for the small signs I had scratched in the walls of the passages to guide my way for as I ran it seemed I knew each bend and turn of that passageway as though it had suddenly leaped alive flaming in my memory.	10
24	10	I knew the thing before me could slay Priest-Kings.	10
24	51	Yet I knew that somewhere back there it would still be coming, that it would not yield its vengeance and its prey so easily.	10
24	60	But I myself had seen its body and knew now that it was incapable of prolonged, rapid movement.	10
25	2	They had now entered my skin and to my horror I felt a pull against my tissues and knew that the creature was now sucking through those foul tubes, but I was a man, a mammal, and not a Priest-King, and my body fluids were locked within the circulatory system of another form of being, and I thrust ag...	10
25	43	When I came to the portal where I had entered I found it closed as I had known it would be and there was, as I knew, no handle or obvious device for opening the door on this side, for no one returned, supposedly, from the tunnels of the Golden Beetle.	10
25	51	I knew the tunnels of the Golden Beetle, like those of the Nest itself, were ventilated and I hoped to be able to use one of the shafts to leave the tunnels undetected.	10
25	52	If this were not possible I would explore the tunnels seeking some other exit, and if worse came to worst, I was sure that Vika and I, now that I knew the dangers and strengths and weaknesses of the Golden Beetle, might manage to survive indefinitely in the tunnels, however despicably, and escape ev...	10
25	140	I knew that she was faithless, vicious, and treacherous, and because of her glorious beauty a thousand times more dangerous than a foe armed only with the reed of a Gorean spear and the innocence of sword steel.	10
26	2	I still had not determined to my satisfaction that she might be fully trusted, much to her distress, and I would take no chances with her, for I knew who she was, the bandit princess of the lofty plundering Treve of the Voltai Range.	10
26	3	No, I would take no chances with this girl, whom I knew to be as treacherous and vicious as the nocturnal, sinuous, predatory sleen.	10
26	211	Yet I knew that I would not weaken, though I was sorely tempted to believe that she might be trusted, that the feelings she expressed were truly those she felt.	10
26	237	"I knew before," she said, "that I was truly your slave but I did not know until now that you were truly my master".	10
26	245	"I am a woman," she said, "and you are a man, and stronger than I and I am yours and this you knew and now I have learned it too".	10
26	270	"When first I saw you, Cabot," she said, "I knew you owned me".	10
27	38	I checked the sword in its sheath and left Misk's compartment, stepped to the transportation disk and swept silently, rapidly, down the tunnel in the direction in which I knew lay the Chamber of the Mother.	10
27	50	The only Priest-King in the Nest who could have recognized me immediately, and perhaps from a distance, was probably Misk, who knew me not as a Mul but a friend.	10
27	151	I knew the unusual strength of Priest-Kings and I could well imagine the stresses and pressures that throbbed in the frames of those locked creatures as they rocked back and forth, to one side and another, each pressing and seeking for the advantage that would mean death to the other.	10
27	193	Never before had a human set foot in this chamber and I knew not if I had committed sacrilege but I did not care, for my friend was in danger.	10
27	219	I had seen Sarm in action and I knew that his speed was incredible.	10
27	256	I hardly saw it coming but an instant before its flight began I had seen the tremor of a fiber in his shoulder and I knew the signal for its strike had been transmitted.	10
27	347	I knew not how to respond to this and so I said nothing.	10
28	96	I wished that I could trust her but I knew that I could not.	10
28	121	"I love you, Cabot, my Master!" I knew the words she spoke could not be true but I did not rebuke her.	10
28	139	"No," she said, "I knew only that you would do what you wished".	10
29	17	I cried out with dismay but knew what I must do, and retraced my steps to try the ditch.	10
29	20	As it was I could not be sure that I could make the leap but I knew that I must try.	10
29	42	Moreover, I knew that the cage plastic with which my own ship was protected would be no more protection than tissue paper against Sarm's weapons, the nature of which was not to pierce or melt but, from a given center, radiating outwards, to shatter material gravitationally, breaking it apart and sca...	10
29	58	This time, should I dive again, I knew it would be impossible to conceal my position from them, for they would then know I was below them and at least one of the ships would be almost certain to cover me with its weapon.	10
29	113	I knew I could not evade the wide-angle scope of the disrupter beam.	10
30	92	Then I heard her laugh and knew who was my tormentor.	10
30	199	And I noted that some of Sarm's Priest-Kings were less golden than I had known them, having now a slightly brownish cast on the thorax and abdomen, signs I knew to be associated with thirst.	10
31	6	But I knew that Sarm had no intention of keeping his part of the bargain, and that he intended to slay Misk, destroying hopefully thereby the effective leadership of the opposition, and then either keep me as a slave for Vika or, more likely, killing me as well, even though that might disappoint the...	10
31	9	I wondered what Sarm would say if he knew that Parp and Kusk had not actually implanted me.	10
31	131	I knew that somehow I must try to stop Sarm but what could I do? He was armed with a silver tube and I with nothing but the steel of a Gorean sword.	10
31	143	As I climbed, to my elation, I saw the tube's flame sputter and stop and knew the weapon was at last discharged.	10
31	154	"I knew you would come," he said.	10
31	175	I knew I could not retreat back down the walkway for Sarm was much faster than I and would be upon me perhaps even before I could turn.	10
31	194	I thought he might be telling himself to be done with me, but somehow I knew this could not be.	10
31	222	I knew now why it was that the Golden Beetles were permitted to live in the Nest, why it was that Priest-Kings would not slay them, even though it might mean their own lives.	10
31	224	Priest-Kings, I knew, had few pleasures, and now I guessed that foremost among them might be death.	10
32	35	There was a huge explosion from behind us and I knew that the globe had now burst and the chamber that housed it was shattered in its destruction.	10
32	106	"As far as that goes," said Ba-Ta, "no more than a few Muls knew of the plant.	10
32	214	When he had first spoken to me I knew now he would have been under the control of Priest-Kings, that his control net would have been activated and his words and actions dictated, at least substantially, from the Scanning Room below, but now the Scanning Room, like most of the Nest, was demolished, a...	10
32	269	"Where did you get tobacco and a pipe?" I asked, for I knew of none such on Gor.	10
32	320	This was a sound I knew well.	10
32	321	"Stand aside," said Parp, and I barely knew the voice that spoke.	10
33	33	I knew that never before in the history of the planet had a man been seen to return from the Sardar.	10
33	42	There were men in that crowd from Ar, from Thentis, from Tharna, recognized by the two yellow cords in their belt; from Port Kar; from Tor, Cos, Tyros; perhaps from Treve, Vika's home city; perhaps even from fallen, vanished Ko-ro-ba; and the men in that crowd were of all castes, and even of castes ...	10
33	67	I knew that the High Initiate of Ar, following the policies of the High Initiate before him, wished to claim hegemony over all other Initiates, and claimed to possess this already, but his claim, of course, was denied by the other High Initiates who regarded themselves as supreme in their own cities...	10
33	88	Now, as the crowd rejoiced and began to disband, I knew that I was no longer important, that I was only another indication of the mercy of Priest-Kings, that someone—who had it been?—had returned from the Sardar.	10
33	90	Their codes forbade them to kill but I knew that they hired men of other castes for this purpose.	10
33	115	Suppose that even now if they knew the truth—what would change? Would I really expect them—at least on the whole—to burn their robes, to surrender their claims to secret knowledge and powers, to pick up the hoes of Peasants, the needles of the Cloth Workers, to bend their energi...	10
34	36	I knew how dangerous it would be for a woman to travel unattended on Gor.	10
34	83	She knew that I must search out Talena, spend my life if need be in the quest for she whom of all women I had chosen for my Free Companion.	10
34	167	I thought his sword might indeed have been welcome, but I knew his first duty lay to his city.	10
35	123	"Howsoever I spoke," said Misk, "words cannot diminish men or Priest-Kings—for who cares what we are—if we can act, decide, sense beauty, seek right, and have hopes for our people?" I swallowed hard, for I knew I had hopes for my race, and I sensed how Misk must have them for his, only...	10

Book 4. (97 results) Nomads of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
7	206	Who, or what, could dare such a thing? Besides, how did I know that the message was not from Priest-Kings? I knew, as Kamchak and Kutaituchik did not, of the recent Nest War beneath the Sardar, and of the disruption in the technological complexes of the Nest—who knew to what primitive devices...	10
7	208	Besides this, as far as I knew, Misk, who was my friend and between whom and myself there was Nest Trust, was still the highest born of the living Priest-Kings and the final authority in matters of importance in the Nest; I knew that Misk, if no other, would not have wished my death.	10
8	266	Tuka, I knew, hated Elizabeth, and Elizabeth, I knew, reciprocated the emotion with vehemence.	10
10	308	Yet I knew that beneath those Robes of Concealment many wore the shameful Turian camisk, perhaps the only time the hated garment would touch their bodies, for should their warrior lose this match they knew they would not be permitted to leave the stake in the robes in which they came.	10
21	180	She knew as well as I that the guards were still questioning those who would depart from Turia, but she knew too, as I, that each day, each hour, I remained in Turia counted against me.	10
24	12	I knew that Kamchak was in constant touch, by means of riders, with the wagons of the Tuchuks, and so I did not speak with him of the looting of his wagon, nor of the fate of Aphris of Turia, nor did I deem it well to speak to him of Elizabeth Cardwell, for it seemed evident that he had sold her, an...	10
25	844	She did not move, and then suddenly I felt the cut of her nails deep in my arms, and though her lips were open, her teeth were clenched, her head was back, the eyes closed, her hair tangled under her and over her body, and then her eyes seemed surprised, startled, and her shoulders lifted a bit from...	10
27	143	"Perhaps not so dangerous," said he, "for I knew the Kataii and the Kassars—better than they knew themselves".	10
27	169	All of us knew the peril, the hardship and danger the Tuchuk had sustained in her acquisition; all of us knew the price he had been willing to pay only recently that she, fallen into the hands of another, might be returned to him.	10
2	7	Now I supposed that I alone, of humans on Gor, with the possible exception of some among the Wagon Peoples, knew the nature of the mysterious object which once these two brave men had brought in secrecy to the plains of Turia—and, to be truthful, I did not know that even I—should I see...	10
2	27	But I knew that more than anything I was doing this for Misk—who was my friend.	10
2	37	Who knew with which people the object might have been placed? Perhaps it had been hidden away and forgotten? Perhaps it was now a sacred object, little understood, but revered—and it would be sacrilege to think of it, blasphemy to speak its name, a cruel and slow death even to cast one's eyes...	10
2	43	If I were found on the plains near the camps or the bosk herds I knew I would be scented out and slain by the domesticated, nocturnal herd sleen, used as shepherds and sentinels by the Wagon Peoples, released from their cages with the falling of darkness.	10
2	47	I knew they spoke a dialect of Gorean, and I hoped I would be able to understand them.	10
2	108	The kaiila is most dangerous under such conditions, and, as if it knew this, often uses such times for its hunt.	10
2	135	I knew, though, from the belt, though I first misread its purpose, that the owner was of the Paravaci, the Rich People, richest of the wagon dwellers.	10
2	174	The effect of the scars, ugly, startling, terrible, perhaps in part calculated to terrify enemies, had even prompted me, for a wild moment, to conjecture that what I faced on the Plains of Turia were not men, but perhaps aliens of some sort, brought to Gor long ago from remote worlds to serve some n...	10
3	17	I knew that had I moved, or shown fear, or attempted to flee, I would now be dead.	10
3	116	In their way I knew they were honoring me, that they had respected my stand in the matter of the charging lances, that now they were gambling to see who would win me, to whose weapons my blood must flow, beneath the paws of whose kaiila I must fall bloodied to the earth.	10
6	63	But if the Voyages of Acquisition had been resumed, why had they been resumed? Or was it actually the case that she had been brought to Gor by Priest-Kings? Were there perhaps—others—somehow others? Was this woman sent to the Tuchuks at this time—perhaps released to wander on th...	10
6	86	I knew what must now pass, and it was what would have passed in any city or on any road or trail or path in Gor.	10
7	95	He spoke to her, rather than the man she knew, the head of the department, whom she had seen often.	10
7	218	"You would risk," I asked, "the herds—the wagons—the peoples?" Both Kamchak and I knew that Priest-Kings were not lightly to be disobeyed.	10
7	220	Indeed their power, as I knew, was sufficient to destroy planets.	10
7	226	I knew that, as far as the interrogation was concerned, she had served her purpose.	10
8	20	There had not been, I knew, a Ubar San in more than a hundred years.	10
8	135	Elizabeth Cardwell, of course, knew nothing of these things.	10
8	241	I knew the Voyages of Acquisition were of even much greater antiquity.	10
8	242	I had determined, of course, to my satisfaction, having spoken with him once, that the boy, or young man, was indeed Gorean; his people and their people before them and as far back as anyone knew had been, as it is said, of the Wagons.	10
8	255	Indeed, I knew that some among the wagons, the girl Hereena, for example, who seemed to bear him a great dislike, had insisted that he, though free, be forced to wear the Kes or the dress of a woman.	10
8	305	On the other hand, I knew, in this sport no time would be taken for such matters; in a few heartbeats of the kaiila the girl's wrists and ankles would be lashed together and she would be, without ceremony, slung over the pommel of the saddle, it the stake, her body the ring.	10
8	387	I knew myself that twenty-five was a remarkable time.	10
9	9	I shot the spiced vulo brain into my mouth on the tip of a golden eating prong, a utensil, as far as I knew, unique to Turia.	10
9	30	Such notching, I knew, is usually done to the ears of thieves; a second offense is normally punished by the loss of the right hand; a third offense by the removal of the left hand and both feet.	10
9	82	I was pleased to see again, though often done in silk, the splendid varieties of caste colors of the typical Gorean city, to hear once more the cries of peddlers that I knew so well, the cake sellers, the hawkers of vegetables, the wine vendor bending under a double verrskin of his vintage.	10
9	203	At last, if Saphrar was correct, I knew its location.	10
9	278	I did not clearly understand Kamchak's motivations in this matter—unless, of course, he knew the true nature of the golden sphere, in which case, naturally, he would recognize it as priceless.	10
9	302	No Tuchuk, I knew, cares to be the butt of a joke, especially a Turian joke.	10
9	384	She knew that the Wagon Peoples, plunderers of hundreds of caravans, occasionally possessed objects and riches as costly as any on Gor.	10
9	449	I wondered if Kamras knew the meaning of the word which he had dared to address to one who wore the Courage Scar of the Wagon Peoples.	10
10	129	This, I knew, might well cost me my life.	10
10	140	I also knew a good training would take months, though much can be done with an intelligent girl in only a few weeks.	10
10	226	There was nothing living on Gor I knew that could take the impact of a tharlarion charge.	10
10	272	Now, looking on the approaching palanquins, I supposed that so once, in veil and silks, had ridden the lovely Tenchika, and so, too, as far as I knew, might have ridden the lovely Dina, had she not fallen earlier and otherwise to the chains of Kassar warriors.	10
10	278	As I knew, not just any girl, any more than just any warrior, could participate in the games of Love War.	10
10	444	Unfortunately for Kamchak, I knew that this was the year in which the Turian foeman might propose the weapon of combat.	10
11	175	In some years I knew the percentages were rather the other way about.	10
11	188	I knew, of course, that it was spring and, in this hemisphere, most birds, if there were any migrating, would be moving south.	10
12	3	I knew that in that wagon, if the words of Saphrar were correct, there lay the golden sphere, doubtless the egg of Priest-Kings, which he had, for some reason, seemed so anxious to obtain.	10
12	11	It was possible, of course, that I might declare my mission to Kutaituchik or Kamchak, and see what would occur—but I knew that Kamchak had said to Saphrar of Turia that the Tuchuks were fond of the golden sphere—and I had no hopes that I might make them part with it—and surely ...	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	21	Yet I knew that whatever Saphrar, merchant of Turia, might be, he was no fool.	10
12	425	"I never knew a woman," said Elizabeth, her eyes blazing, showing few signs of the paga, "could be so beautiful!" "She was marvelous," I said.	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
12	501	He had, however, I knew, recently won a Turian girl in the games.	10
13	8	Their ears began to lay back against the sides of their triangular heads; their long, serpentine bodies trembled; I saw claws emerge from their paws, retract, emerge again and then retract; they lifted their heads, sweeping them from side to side, and then thrust their snouts to the ground and began...	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
14	23	It was better, I knew, for her to be secured as she was rather than chained in the wagon, or even to the wheel.	10
14	52	The nearest tarn cavalries as far as I knew were to be found in distant Ar.	10
14	70	The wagon had been looted, the only one that had been as far as I knew.	10
14	109	I knew Kutaituchik, of course, only as the huge, somnolent mass of man who sat cross-legged on a robe of gray boskhide, his eyes dreaming.	10
15	40	* * * * I knew that I myself must somehow enter Turia, for in Turia now lay the golden sphere.	10
16	4	Then I inquired, "How is it that you, a Tuchuk, can swim?" I knew few Tuchuks could, though some had learned in the Cartius.	10
16	145	"We expected that you would soon try, but we did not know that you knew of the Passage Well".	10
16	242	"How was it," I asked, "that you, who had never seen me, knew me and spoke my name at the banquet?" "You had been well described to me by the gray fellow," said Saphrar.	10
16	295	How else would he dare to use the name of Priest-Kings on the message in the message collar?" I knew, of course, that the man was not a Priest-King.	10
16	326	Kamchak himself had told me the golden sphere was worthless—poor Tuchuk! But now, I said to myself, poor Cabot! However it came about—and I could not be sure—Others than Priest-Kings had now entered the games of Gor—and these Others knew of the egg and wanted it—an...	10
18	52	Yet somehow I knew now the pool, like all forms of life, had some level of irritability.	10
18	77	I knew I would not be able to elude his quarrel.	10
19	35	I knew that the clusters of flowers which, cluster upon cluster, graced those linear, hanging stems, would each be a bouquet in itself, for the trees are so bred that the clustered flowers emerge in subtle, delicate patterns of shades and hues.	10
20	156	I was elated that we had managed to escape alive from the House of Saphrar, but I knew that I must return to the city, for I had not obtained the object for which I had come—the golden sphere—which still resided in the merchant stronghold.	10
20	161	This, I knew, was the morning on which the wagons moved away from Turia, toward distant Thassa, the Sea.	10
21	72	I knew the voice.	10
21	161	I knew, though I did not speak of it with her, that she was willingly risking her life to shelter me in her native city.	10
22	15	Also I knew many of the Tuchuks were familiar with my perhaps too-red hair and might, seeing it, generously refrain from firing on its owner.	10
22	100	I knew that while the Tuchuks remained in Turia there would be in all the city no woman more safe than lovely Dina, she only of the Caste of Bakers.	10
22	112	At a sign from Kamchak, as the men well knew, their throats would be immediately cut.	10
23	18	I was permitted to speak directly to Hakimba, when I made it clear to my escort that I knew the identity of their true Ubar and that it was with him I must speak.	10
23	60	I knew that in little more than fifteen or twenty Ehn his forces would be lost, dissipated among the wagons, and yet surely the Paravaci must be met and fought there as well as on the prairie.	10
23	165	Kamchak knew of our movements long before you".	10
23	219	Kamchak, I knew, however, cared little for the slave, and would not be much concerned; yet her fate concerned me, and I hoped that she might live, that her beauty if not compassion or justice might have won her life for her, be it only as a Paravaci wagon slave; and then, too, I wondered again on th...	10
24	74	I knew Kamchak had brought, over the past few days, several hundred bosk to graze near Turia, to use in feeding his troops.	10
24	233	Tomorrow I knew the assault would begin on the House of Saphrar and the tower of Ha-Keel.	10
25	27	Now I knew.	10
25	324	And I knew him to be my friend.	10
25	460	And then, as I knew she would, she suddenly knelt before me, in fury, head down, arms extended, wrists crossed, submitting as a Gorean female.	10
25	620	The collar, I knew, bore my name, proclaiming her, should I wish, my slave.	10
25	691	They, at least, knew they were slaves, and were zealous to please as such.	10
25	745	My grip on her ankle was not cruel but in all her womanness she knew herself held.	10
25	765	But, smiling to myself, I knew that on this night her weeping, the little vixen, would gain her no respite.	10
25	797	"I do not want to be a slave!" But when I had touched the most intimate beauties of her she became uncontrollable, writhing, and in my arms I knew the feeling of a slave girl and such, for the moment, was the beautiful Elizabeth Cardwell, helpless and mine, female and slave.	10
26	145	I supposed Saphrar of Turia must have carried lamp or torch, or perhaps that he knew the passage by heart.	10
26	248	"We knew that in time someone would come from the Sardar.	10
26	453	Then you went with Harold to the city, and so I knew that to seize the egg against such overwhelming odds you were ready to give your life.	10
26	456	"That is why," I asked, "you let me go to Turia—though you knew the Golden Sphere was worthless?" "Yes," said Kamchak, "that is why".	10
26	465	"When you wept," he said, "I knew then that you cared for it, and for Priest-Kings—that you had truly come for the egg and that you wanted it for them—and not for yourself".	10
28	58	These were year names—which would be remembered by the Year Keepers, whose memories knew the names of thousands of consecutive years.	10

Book 5. (76 results) Assassin of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
1	22	These men of Ko-ro-ba, he knew, when their city had been destroyed by Priest-Kings, had been scattered to the ends of Gor but, when permitted by Priest-Kings, they had returned to their city to rebuild it, each bearing a stone to add to its walls.	10
1	24	And even Kuurus, of the Caste of Assassins, knew that a city cannot die while its Home Stone survives.	10
1	47	Kuurus knew that such an urn would be decorated, probably, since the man had been a Warrior, with scenes of the hunt and war.	10
1	57	Kuurus knew that it would be this man, who wore the black, but not the full black, of the Assassin, who would deal with him.	10
3	43	It seemed sad to me, that I, who knew so little of the game, could have so cheaply purchased the privilege of sitting across the board from such a master.	10
3	87	I knew then how the man had been blinded.	10
3	90	But I knew that he was not a slave, for it is not permitted that Players be slave.	10
3	163	Such an amount I knew would not be likely to be earned in a year by a Player.	10
3	167	I held his hand for a moment and he held mine, and I felt his grip, and smiled, for I knew then, blinded and branded, weak and old, he was yet a man.	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
4	131	Moreover, he probably knew it anyway, as she had been assigned to his staff, primarily to run errands in the city, for Caprus, it was said, seldom cared to leave the House of Cernus.	10
4	148	Elizabeth, I knew, would hate that.	10
4	227	The training, exhaustive and detailed, I knew would take months.	10
5	143	And, as the hour progressed, perform she did, and superbly so, and I knew that had I been a prospective buyer I would have bid high indeed for the skilled, sensuous little wench in my arms, so striving with all her quickness and beauty to please me.	10
5	195	I knew that only those who were free would be permitted to make a city.	10
5	215	Elizabeth had been rapt with wonder at the Nest, but after some days, even in the presence of its grandeur, I knew she desired again to be on the surface, in the free air, in the sunlight.	10
5	312	Earth and Gor, I knew, shared the third ring.	10
5	421	"I knew," said Misk, "I should not have spoken of this matter with you".	10
5	509	Our eyes told one another, even in the joy of our meeting, that we, none of us, knew the whereabouts of Talena, once the companion, though she the daughter of a Ubar, of a simple Warrior of Ko-ro-ba.	10
5	609	It was one day to Thentis by tarn, but in the wagon we knew the trip would take perhaps the better part of one of the twenty-five day Gorean months.	10
5	616	It is true that if she, with other girls, were shipped by wagon to Ar, this schedule would not be met; but we knew that the House of Clark, in the case of select merchandise, under which category Elizabeth surely fell, transported slaves by tarn caravan to the markets of Ar, usually binding them in ...	10
5	639	Some slaves, I knew, were even intensely jealous of so little as a dish or a cup which, probably because of use, they had come to regard as their own.	10
5	642	This sort of thing was trivial, but one never knew when something less trivial might perhaps be involved.	10
6	91	Elizabeth, I knew, would have enjoyed them as well.	10
8	61	Earth girls, I knew, were usually sold as untrained barbarians at inferior prices.	10
9	42	I knew that in such places private auctions were sometimes conducted, discreetly, for favored clientele, many times slavers themselves.	10
11	57	Each of them I knew was beautiful.	10
11	323	I do think, of course, that the Gorean population tends to be more physically fit and mentally acute than that of Earth, but I would rate them provisionally rather than essentially superior in these respects; for example, Goreans live much out of doors and, as a very natural thing, celebrate the bea...	10
12	80	I knew that there were many in Ar who had not wished for the exile of Marlenus, particularly the lower castes, which he had always championed.	10
12	308	As far as they knew she could speak only Gorean.	10
12	359	Even Elizabeth, whom I knew was swift and spirited, seemed paralyzed and tortured by the goad.	10
12	378	I knew that when there was such information it would not be to such men that it would be known.	10
13	19	I knew the Taurentians to be skilled Warriors, wary and swift, and I would have thought the women of the Hinrabians would have been the safest of the city.	10
13	23	Surely he knew the danger in which he stood once within the environs of Ar? He would be slain in the city if discovered.	10
13	57	I knew this game of bath girls, as though they, mere slaves, would dare to truly flee from one who pursued them, and I laughed, and she, too, sensing my understanding, laughed.	10
13	59	I knew that few men could, if a bath girl did not wish it, come close to them in the water.	10
13	74	I knew that she could, if she wished, swim like a water lizard making a strike.	10
13	92	I knew now I would overtake her.	10
13	124	The pools were beautiful, and yet I knew that somewhere, chained in darkness, were gangs of male slaves who cleaned them each night; and there were of course the Bath Girls of Ar, of which Nela was one, said to be the most beautiful of all Gor.	10
13	228	I suspected few knew as much of the races of Ar as Mip.	10
13	239	Many of the perches were empty, but there were more than a hundred birds in the room; each was now chained to its area of the perch; but each, I knew, at least once in every two days, was exercised; sometimes, when men do not wander freely in the cot, and the portals of the cot, opening to the sky, ...	10
13	366	I knew he could throw the knife before I could reach him, before I could hope to unsheath the sword at my side.	10
14	99	I knew the former Ubar, still to his followers, years after the days of his glory, the Ubar of Ubars, was not in Ar for the sport of the races.	10
14	101	This suggested to me there might be movements afoot in Ar of which I knew nothing.	10
14	134	I knew the House of Portus was the greatest remaining rival to the House of Cernus, fighting it for the control of the slave trade in Ar.	10
15	150	I knew that Cernus intended to market Elizabeth, and the two other girls, on that feast.	10
15	167	I had once been struck with a tarn goad and knew substantially what her pain must be; further, the shower of yellow sparks, though perhaps in itself innocuous, was, conjoined with the sudden pain, terrifying.	10
15	212	The truly sinister aspect of even this portion of the girls' training did not become evident to me, or to Elizabeth, until the entire next week was spent again before the mirror, seeing themselves as slave girls, and repeating, aloud, these questions and answers, as though putting them to themselves...	10
15	238	Once Virginia had, in our compartment, with Elizabeth and Phyllis, shyly looked up at me, and asked if I knew the name of the blond guard, he with blue eyes, who came upon occasion to observe the training.	10
15	385	Sura, I knew, played the instrument.	10
17	141	But, as this lawlessness grew, and it became such that men would not walk the bridges without arms, the frenzy over the races and the games grew more rabid; it became rare on the streets and bridges to pass a person who would not, either for himself or for someone he knew, wear a faction patch, even...	10
17	148	The name of Gladius of Cos was a watchword in the city, though surely few knew his identity.	10
17	150	I knew myself involved in games of a dangerous sort, but I had agreed to play, not clearly understanding the object or the goal of what I did.	10
17	153	After each race Mip, in detail, would discuss my riding, making suggestions; before each race, he would explain to me what he knew of the habits of the riders and tarns I faced, which was almost invariably a great deal; he taught me to recognize for myself certain faults in other riders, certain exp...	10
17	180	I knew the moneys spent so lavishly by the guard had been counted out carefully from the office of Caprus, for such information I had from Elizabeth.	10
17	242	The fewer people who knew of the plan the better.	10
17	329	I knew he had been of Port Kar.	10
17	579	There were several chests there, doubtless containing silks, cosmetics, jewelry; there were also rich furs, on which I gathered she slept; in one corner there leaned a six-stringed kalika, long-necked, with its hemispheric sound box; I knew she played the instrument; on one wall, some feet away, han...	10
17	651	"My father," she said, "I never knew, though I suppose he was a handsome slave.	10
17	652	My mother knew little of him, for they were both hooded when mated".	10
17	794	I knew her, of course, to be an extremely intelligent, capable woman.	10
17	797	Yet here I knew there was much more involved than simple intelligence; I sensed here a native aptitude of astonishing dimension.	10
17	825	I had heard it cry out and knew that it was not a sleen, nor a larl.	10
18	499	"We knew that Priest-Kings would suspect our House, as we intended that they should; so simple a ruse, and profitable a one, as selling barbarian Earth girls under the auspices of the House would guarantee their investigation.	10
19	33	I knew that I was on my way to the Curulean.	10
19	173	It was perhaps the plainest of all the barbarians who had been brought on the black ships; though I knew the girl to be among the most intelligent, and also, I had heard, among the most responsive.	10
19	179	I myself was startled, for I had seen the girl before and knew her somewhat; this was not her real person; the crowd, of course, would not know that.	10
19	187	Then I understood what was going on, perhaps belatedly, for I knew the girl, Red Silk before the black ships, was extremely responsive, and had even been used in the hall of Cernus for the amusement of his Warriors and guards; she had known the caress would be given; she had been ready; she had perh...	10
19	193	Yet when he persisted, there were some token offers, perhaps by men who wished to obtain a kettle girl for next to nothing; I was not surprised to note that each time a legitimate offer was made, though small, it was topped slightly by a fellow in the robes of the Metal Workers, whom I knew to be a ...	10
19	194	I knew later, perhaps in another city, she would be well presented and would bring a good price.	10
19	258	I knew that, in effect, this was a performance, each detail planned expertly, choreographed and rehearsed in the House of Cernus.	10
19	339	The girls stood in the light, lifting their heads to the crowd, nude and proud on the block, in the wild shouting and stamping and crying out, and knew themselves beautiful and prized.	10
19	484	I knew that behind me, on the block, there would be a new lot for sale, more to please the buyers of Ar.	10
20	20	I could not understand why Relius and Ho-Sorl would make my cause theirs, nor why Sura, though I knew she cared for me, would so risk her life, now doubtless lost.	10
20	304	I felt it was a face I somehow knew, and yet could not know.	10
