10 |
| 12 | 391 |
Once at the foot of the stairs she stopped and stood for a long moment. |
10 |
| 12 | 410 |
She did not move then for a moment, but stood crouched down, her hands on the chain. |
10 |
| 12 | 487 |
She looked into my eyes for a long moment and then suddenly dropped her head weeping. |
10 |
| 12 | 506 |
He turned and ran, and I, drawing my sword, ran stumbling after him but in less than a moment or two I found my pursuit cut short by a string of tied kaiila being returned after having been released to hunt on the plains. |
10 |
| 13 | 214 |
He leaned back, serious for a moment. |
10 |
| 16 | 25 |
After what seemed to me an uncomfortably long moment we emerged again, this time at the bottom of a tile-lined well. |
10 |
| 18 | 122 |
In a moment I followed him. |
10 |
| 19 | 59 |
"It may take a moment to pick out one I like," he apologized. |
10 |
| 19 | 173 |
Harold thought for a moment. |
10 |
| 19 | 185 |
She looked at him for a moment and then put back her head and sucked in air and then, her mouth open, prepared to utter a wild scream. |
10 |
| 19 | 186 |
My heart nearly stopped but Harold, at the moment just before the girl could scream, popped one of the scarves into her mouth, wadding it up and shoving it between her teeth. |
10 |
| 20 | 16 |

And in a moment we were speeding high over the city of Turia. |
10 |
| 21 | 257 |
In a moment I would be able to see the kaiila, the flash of light from the lance blades. |
10 |
| 21 | 264 |
Surely in a moment someone on the wall would give the alarm. |
10 |
| 21 | 270 |
At that moment there was a long, wailing cry of horror from the wall above. |
10 |
| 22 | 49 |
I had expected to be challenged and then perhaps, if all went well, wrangled inside on some stratagem dreamed up by Harold on the spur of the moment. |
10 |
| 22 | 84 |
At that moment there was a scuffle and commotion at the gate to the inner courtyard and two Tuchuks, one laughing and with a bloody shoulder, were dragging a fiercely resisting, unveiled but clothed girl between them. |

10 |

10 |
| 23 | 80 |
In a moment, maintaining my saddle in spite of the leaping and stumbling of my kaiila over the slain bosk, fallen kaiila and screaming men, I gave orders to turn the bosk back and reform them near the wagons. |
10 |

"It will take the rider, if he gets through, seven Ahn to reach Turia and even if Kamchak rides with his full force the moment the rider comes to the gates of the city, it will be eight Ahn before their vanguard can reach us—and by then it will be too late". |
10 |
| 23 | 121 |
I looked to the left and right over the torn, bloody barricade of wagons, at the remains of my men, wounded and exhausted, many of them lying on the barricade or on the ground behind it, trying to gain but a moment's respite. |
10 |
| 23 | 152 |
And even the sky seemed dark for a moment as, from the left and right, thousands upon thousands of arrows fell like dark rain among the startled, stumbling, turning Paravaci. |
10 |
| 24 | 9 |
I and Kamchak expected Saphrar to flee by tarn at any moment, for it must now be clear to him that the strike of the Paravaci against the Tuchuk wagons and herds had not forced Kamchak to withdraw; indeed, his forces were now supplemented by Kataii and Kassars, a development which must have horrifie... |
10 |
| 24 | 11 |
I reminded myself, beyond this, that if his house should actually be forced, and himself threatened, he could always flee, with relative safety, at the last moment, abandoning his men, his servants and slaves to the mercies of ravaging Tuchuks. |
10 |

"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 | 403 |
"Why," I asked, "did you earlier stand before me as a slave girl—if you did not, for the moment, wish to be a slave?" "It was a joke!" she laughed. |
10 |
| 25 | 489 |
She lifted her head and looked at me, angrily, proudly, for a moment, but then she said, "Yes, Master," and did as she was commanded. |
10 |
| 25 | 512 |
She knelt so for a languorous moment, her hands over her head holding her hair, looking at me. |
10 |
| 25 | 601 |
"But you must promise to try to make me truly a slave—if only for a moment". |
10 |

10 |

She looked at me irritably for a moment. |
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 |
