15	1	Msaliti and I Are Tricked by Shaba; What Occurred Outside the Headquarters of Msaliti and Shaba "You are late," said Msaliti.	10
1	634	"To whom are the letters of introduction," I asked, "and to whom are made out the notes?" "One is to a man named Msaliti," said Samos, "and the other is to Shaba".	10
1	661	"Probably he can be reached through Msaliti," said Samos.	10
1	665	"Msaliti probably does not know where he is.	10
1	666	If Shaba, whom we may suppose contacts Msaliti, rather than the opposite, suspects anything is amiss, he will presumably not come forth".	10
11	337	"One of them," I said, "is for a man named Msaliti".	10
11	338	"I am Msaliti," said the man who had been called Kunguni.	10
11	362	The second letter which I had handed Msaliti lay now on the table before the man.	10
12	27	Msaliti was looking at him, curiously.	10
12	33	"Do not fear," said Msaliti, "my askaris do not speak Gorean".	10
12	36	"The ring," said Msaliti, "may not be returned to Priest-Kings.	10
12	39	"He is with us," said Msaliti.	10
12	45	"That is the plan," said Msaliti, earnestly.	10
12	48	"Be silent," said Msaliti, angrily, to her.	10
12	55	"He followed you, of course, you little fool," said Msaliti.	10
12	57	Msaliti did not respond to her.	10
12	87	"Be silent," said Msaliti.	10
12	89	"You eluded me brilliantly in the tavern of Pembe, the Golden Kailiauk," I told Msaliti.	10
12	134	You trailed Msaliti from the market.	10
12	140	Wearing the aba taken from Msaliti, hooding myself with it, that my face and eyes not be seen, Sasi on my shoulder, rolled in a blanket tied tightly closed with ropes, I had acquired the lodging.	10
12	153	"And the false ring," pressed Msaliti.	10
12	177	"Fetch paga, Woman," said Msaliti.	10
12	219	Msaliti and Shaba, too, smiled.	10
12	224	"She has been well trained," said Msaliti.	10
12	280	"Wait," said Msaliti, "one more item is needed to complete the effect".	10
12	286	Msaliti joined us at the table.	10
12	289	"Serve us paga, Slave," said Msaliti.	10
12	353	Then, in turn, as a naked paga slave, she served Msaliti and Shaba.	10
12	357	She reached for it, but Msaliti moved it out of her reach.	10
12	367	"Do not dress," said Msaliti.	10
12	369	"Kneel there," said Msaliti, indicating a place about a yard from the table.	10
12	376	"You were not given permission to speak," said Msaliti to the girl.	10
12	386	"No," said Msaliti.	10
12	388	"I did," said Msaliti.	10
12	392	Msaliti looked at her.	10
12	403	"I have the key here," said Msaliti, lifting it, he having taken it a moment ago from his pouch.	10
12	406	"Do not approach more closely without permission," said Msaliti.	10
12	435	"No," said Msaliti.	10
12	437	"Take it off! Take it off!" "No," said Msaliti.	10
12	440	Msaliti, in the speech known to the askaris, spoke briefly.	10
12	445	Msaliti, standing, leaving the table, shook loose the blades of the slave whip.	10
12	447	"You were a slave," said Msaliti, "the instant you were branded, only you did not know it".	10
12	449	Then she cried, "I served you well!" "Yes," said Msaliti, "but you are now no longer needed".	10
12	451	"It is fitting that a slave well serves her masters," said Msaliti.	10
12	453	"Never were you anything but our slave, you little white fool," said Msaliti.	10
12	455	Msaliti laughed.	10
12	463	"Hear me, Slave," said Msaliti.	10
12	471	"Msaliti!" she begged.	10
12	493	Msaliti did not immediately again strike her.	10
12	502	"It is enough! I will do whatever you want!" Msaliti then began her beating.	10
12	504	But Msaliti administered to her an efficient, though brief, discipline.	10
12	510	Msaliti then, after some ten or twelve strokes, lowered the whip.	10
12	531	Msaliti again spoke to the askaris and they pulled the girl's wrists behind her back and, refastening her left wrist in the left slave bracelet, the right still locked on her right wrist, secured them there.	10
12	532	Msaliti looked down at her, on her stomach at his feet.	10
12	538	"Behold," said Msaliti, smiling, to Shaba and myself.	10
12	540	"Despicable slave," smiled Msaliti to the girl.	10
12	543	The dark-haired girl now knelt, collared, before Msaliti, herself, too, now only a girl, and slave, at the mercy of men.	10
12	544	Msaliti spoke again to the askaris.	10
12	549	"It seems he has taken a fancy to you," said Msaliti.	10
12	575	"In my opinion it is more than you are worth," said Msaliti.	10
12	579	"May I speak? May I speak?" "Very well," said Msaliti.	10
12	581	"I do not understand! In the tavern I was protected! I was not allowed to the customers! I trust that that arrangement is to stand!" "That is up to Pembe," said Msaliti.	10
12	582	"But I will belong to him!" "You do belong to him," said Msaliti.	10
12	585	"Try to do as well as the black slaves," said Msaliti, "lest you be slain".	10
12	591	"It is up to Pembe," said Msaliti.	10
12	596	At a word from Msaliti the askaris thrust the sobbing slave ahead of them, from our presence, out into the anteroom.	10
12	607	Msaliti, to one side, had begun his transformation into the beggar, Kunguni.	10
12	610	"What of this slave?" I asked Msaliti, indicating the blond-haired barbarian.	10
12	611	Msaliti shrugged.	10
12	616	"She is hot," admitted Msaliti.	10
12	622	I gave Msaliti six silver tarsks for the girl.	10
12	624	In the situation, as I assessed it, either she should have been given to me, upon my expression of interest, or I should have paid something for her in increments of silver tarsks, something over the price Msaliti had paid.	10
12	626	I did not think Msaliti, truly, whom I took to be a shrewd, clever fellow, and one concerned with matters of wealth and power, would wish to give a girl away.	10
12	631	Msaliti, his scar now affixed, and his disguise intact, bent down and removed the shackles from the blond barbarian's ankles.	10
12	641	"You may have the blindfold," smiled Msaliti.	10
12	648	"Until tomorrow night," said Msaliti, lifting his hand.	10
13	46	"You must know the askaris of Msaliti," he said.	10
13	67	When she thought she had been pretending to serve us in the headquarters of Shaba and Msaliti she had, of course, whether she intended it or not, much aroused me.	10
13	120	I saw that she had learned from the whip, and from her service at the feet of Msaliti.	10
15	20	Msaliti and I sat down, cross-legged, near the low table.	10
15	24	"She is frigid," said Msaliti.	10
15	31	"Excellent," said Msaliti.	10
15	50	* * * * "Why do you not give me the notes and the ring?" asked Msaliti.	10
15	54	"Do you know his house?" asked Msaliti.	10
15	57	"Where will the contact be made?" asked Msaliti, regarding me narrowly.	10
15	59	"Who is Master of the Chatka and Curla?" asked Msaliti.	10
15	62	"Yes," said Msaliti.	10
15	64	Msaliti nodded.	10
15	75	"Is our business not nearly completed?" "That is my hope," said Msaliti.	10
15	80	"I do not even know you," said Msaliti.	10
15	91	Msaliti drummed his fingers on the low table.	10
15	93	"Of course," said Msaliti.	10
15	97	"Of course they replaced them," said Msaliti.	10
15	99	Msaliti looked quickly upward.	10
15	103	Msaliti staggered to his feet, stumbling backward.	10
15	114	"Matters of great moment are afoot here," said Msaliti.	10
15	119	"Where is the false ring?" asked Msaliti.	10
15	124	"May I see them?" asked Msaliti.	10
15	127	"I trust as few people as possible," said Msaliti.	10
15	133	"Cash them before you carry the false ring to the Sardar," said Msaliti.	10
15	136	"I would do so if I were you," said Msaliti.	10
15	142	"Kunguni the beggar," said Msaliti, "cannot well enter the edifices on Schendi's Street of Coins".	10
15	143	"Then enter as Msaliti," I said.	10
15	144	Msaliti laughed.	10
15	149	"Remember," said Msaliti, "do not depress the switch on the false ring.	10
15	173	"Give him the ring," said Msaliti.	10
15	176	Msaliti quickly turned and looked.	10
15	180	"There are twelve now," said Msaliti, counting.	10
15	190	He stood up, and so, too, did Msaliti and myself.	10
15	192	"I, too," said Msaliti.	10
15	195	"No," said Msaliti.	10
15	200	"Give me now the ring," said Msaliti.	10
15	202	"Give it to me," said Msaliti, not pleasantly.	10
15	210	"This is not the ring!" "He is gone," said Msaliti.	10
15	224	Msaliti looked sick.	10
15	227	"How do you know it is not the true ring?" asked Msaliti.	10
15	230	"No," said Msaliti.	10
15	236	"This resembles the true ring closely," I told Msaliti.	10
15	239	"Yes, yes," said Msaliti.	10
15	246	"You are a fool," said Msaliti.	10
15	249	Msaliti turned the ring about.	10
15	259	He also had the true Tahari ring, which the ring in Msaliti's hand so ingeniously resembled.	10
15	262	"Surely he must realize that could be done," said Msaliti.	10
15	267	"It will be made," said Msaliti, angrily.	10
15	268	"How then, I wonder," said I, "does he intend to obtain the gold?" Msaliti looked at me, in fury.	10
15	270	"I am leaving," said Msaliti.	10
15	290	"That is he," said Msaliti, turning about.	10
15	298	"These men were waiting for me," I said to Msaliti.	10
15	301	"Of course," said Msaliti.	10
15	308	"Here is the paper," said Msaliti to the officer.	10
15	320	"He arrived in Schendi," said Msaliti, "in the garb of a metal worker.	10
15	322	Msaliti smiled.	10
15	324	"The work levy imposed on Schendi is due to leave in the morning," said Msaliti.	10
15	326	Msaliti looked at me.	10
15	334	He then lifted his hand to Msaliti and withdrew, taking his guardsmen with him.	10
15	335	"Where am I to be taken?" I asked Msaliti.	10
15	339	"Yes," said Msaliti.	10
15	341	"I," said Msaliti.	10
15	345	"I am Msaliti," he said.	10
15	347	"Who might he be?" "Why, I," smiled Msaliti.	10
17	1	Msaliti has Formed a Plan The white slave girls, nude, toweled my body.	10
17	2	"Away," said Msaliti, sharply.	10
17	4	"These robes," said Msaliti, indicating robes spread upon the couch, "will be found suitable for an ambassador of Teletus".	10
17	9	"He never cashed the notes," said Msaliti.	10
17	12	"We were tricked," said Msaliti.	10
17	15	"The money," said Msaliti, in fury, "is being invested in the formation of a fleet of a hundred ships, fully fitted and supplied, and crewed by fifty men each.	10
17	18	"I thought he wanted the gold for himself!" said Msaliti.	10
17	20	"He will not get away with it," said Msaliti.	10
17	23	"The work commenced, months ago," said Msaliti.	10
17	29	"He is a secretive man," said Msaliti.	10
17	31	"Surely the hand of Shaba may be seen in this," said Msaliti.	10
17	33	"Of those in these lands," said Msaliti, "only you and I, and Shaba, know of the ring".	10
17	35	"He is here, the bold rascal," said Msaliti, "in this very palace, living openly, protected by Bila Huruma".	10
17	37	"He thinks he has little to fear," said Msaliti.	10
17	46	"That would be appropriate at this stage of negotiation," said Msaliti.	10
17	54	"Presumably not," said Msaliti.	10
18	1	What Occurred When Court Was Held in the Palace of Grass; I Meet Bila Huruma; A New Plan Must be Formed "Do you have the dagger?" whispered Msaliti to me.	10
18	41	Msaliti again slipped to my side.	10
18	59	"Are you ready?" pressed Msaliti.	10
18	131	Msaliti then appeared by my side, and thrust me gently, through the crowd, forward.	10
18	138	It was not in the best interest of Shaba, or myself, or Msaliti, for the power of the ring to come to the attention of the sovereign of this vast equatorial ubarate.	10
18	140	Msaliti was supposed to obtain the ring from the body of Shaba.	10
18	143	"Are you armed?" asked Msaliti, both in the inland speech, some of which I had learned from Ayari, and in Gorean.	10
18	145	For an instant, just an instant, I saw in the eyes of Msaliti a flash of incredible fury.	10
18	157	Msaliti did his best, not happily, to translate this for Bila Huruma.	10
18	159	First I thought it possible that some of the blacks in the room, besides Shaba and Msaliti, perhaps close counselors of Bila Huruma, might know Gorean.	10
18	165	Thirdly, I think I might have enjoyed discomfiting Msaliti, hoisting him, so to speak, by his own petard.	10
18	166	Msaliti then signaled to a man who brought forward the gifts for Bila Huruma, in the small coffer.	10
18	168	I was informed, through Msaliti, the Ubar speaking, that the greetings of Teletus were accepted, that his ubarate expressed similar greetings to those of the island, that his ubarate appreciated our interest in its future and that his wazir of trade would speak to me within the next ten days.	10
18	173	I thought that Msaliti might have done better on behalf of Teletus.	10
18	180	Msaliti and I were then alone in the great, conical-roofed court.	10
18	240	"He once betrayed me," said Msaliti.	10
18	250	"Shaba may not be willing to surrender the ring," said Msaliti.	10
18	252	"Will you please replace that dagger in the sheath," said Msaliti.	10
18	256	"What did you think of our Ubar?" asked Msaliti.	10
18	274	"Surely you must have seen him well," said Msaliti, "for you were presented before him".	10
18	277	"Your mind was distracted," said Msaliti.	10
18	279	"Perhaps it is just as well that you did not look deeply into him," said Msaliti.	10
18	281	"Only one can sit upon the throne," said Msaliti.	10
18	283	"I know," said Msaliti.	10
18	286	"He who sits upon the throne, it is said," said Msaliti, "is the most alone of men".	10
18	290	"Until tonight," said Msaliti, withdrawing.	10
19	2	"He has been disposed of," said Msaliti.	10
19	7	"Enter," said Msaliti.	10
19	19	Msaliti had brought me himself to the room.	10
19	27	It had been my hope, of course, and a risk which Msaliti, for his part, would have had to accept, that I might, with the ring, elude his askaris, even if the room were surrounded.	10
19	29	They were odds, of course, which Msaliti had been given no chance but to accept.	10
19	31	Looking behind me I saw, outside the room, the lamp of Msaliti lift and lower twice.	10
19	45	I saw no sign of Msaliti.	10
19	68	"What is going on, my Ubar?" cried Msaliti, entering.	10
19	74	Suddenly Msaliti stopped, startled.	10
19	78	Upon entering Msaliti had called out to the Ubar, but when he actually saw him he had reacted briefly, stunned.	10
19	84	Msaliti looked into the shallow pit below the high poles of the sleeping platform of Bila Huruma.	10
19	94	I then understood the brilliance of Msaliti.	10
19	95	But Msaliti had underestimated the genius of his Ubar.	10
19	97	Actually he had been within, in the hire of Msaliti, awaiting his signal with the lamp.	10
19	98	I recalled then that Msaliti, in the morning, had told me that Bila Huruma was he who stood in the way of obtaining the ring, and that if he were gone it would be easy to arrest Shaba and secure the ring.	10
19	104	If the plan had been successful Bila Huruma would have been dead and Shaba, without his protector, would be much at the mercy of Msaliti who, as high wazir, would immediately assume, at least temporarily, the reins of government.	10
19	105	My false identity, that which Msaliti had constructed for me, as an envoy of Teletus would not then, in the circumstances, any longer protect me.	10
19	107	I might then be dealt with as Msaliti pleased.	10
19	109	I had been troublesome to Msaliti.	10
19	113	But Msaliti's plan had not succeeded.	10
19	114	"Kill him," said Msaliti, pointing to me.	10
19	200	I saw, briefly, the face of Msaliti.	10
51	226	Msaliti was with them.	10
52	12	"I do not know," said Msaliti.	10
52	21	"Ah," said Msaliti.	10
52	28	"She was the daughter of Aibu," said Msaliti.	10
52	31	"Yes," said Msaliti.	10
52	33	"Yes," said Msaliti.	10
52	71	"You are now only a worthless slave, Tende," said Msaliti.	10
52	80	There were some two hundred askaris in the room, and Msaliti, and Bila Huruma.	10
52	97	"Kisu, the rebel of Ukungu," said Msaliti.	10
52	104	"Yes," said Msaliti.	10
52	163	Msaliti twitched nervously at the side of Bila Huruma.	10
52	181	Msaliti reacted suddenly.	10
53	96	"That Msaliti gain entrance to the fortification?" asked Shaba.	10
53	155	"Bila Huruma, my patron and protector," said Shaba, "stood between Msaliti and myself.	10
53	156	Msaliti had already attempted one attack on his life, that in which Jambia, the assassin, died by the osts, that same attack in which he sought to implicate you".	10
53	159	"When I fled there would be no reason for Msaliti to plot his death.	10
53	162	"Msaliti would then have no alternative but to tell Bila Huruma of the ring, and then join with him in Bila Huruma's attempt to seize it, hoping later to secure it for himself".	10
53	195	I saw Msaliti draw his knife and slip to the side.	10
53	436	There stood Msaliti, an upraised bloody dagger in one hand, and, in the other, held high over his head, on its chain, a dangling ring.	10
53	438	Msaliti shook the chain over his head.	10
53	444	Msaliti had awaited his opportunity.	10
53	448	The Kurii were between us and Msaliti.	10
53	453	Msaliti leaped down from the stones and withdrew from the fortresslike enclosure.	10
53	487	On the other side of the moat Msaliti lifted the chain and ring over his head.	10
53	490	"I have won!" cried Msaliti.	10
53	492	Msaliti screamed with misery as the animal lifted him high over his head and then threw him into the moat.	10
53	493	Almost instantly Msaliti was on his feet and then he screamed, and fell, and again regained his feet, and fell again.	10
53	495	Msaliti, as though moving through mud, howling, waded through the packed, slippery, voracious bodies.	10
53	496	I tore the raider's spear from Kisu and extended it to Msaliti who, screaming, grasped it.	10
53	502	We fought to save Msaliti.	10
53	506	Msaliti lifted his hand to the Ubar.	10
53	508	Bila Huruma looked down at Msaliti sadly.	10
53	510	"My Ubar!" cried Msaliti, and then he was lost in the moat, the fish swarming about him.	10
54	51	Msaliti, needing the protection of the Ubar and his men on the river, would surely desist, at least temporarily in plotting against his life.	10
54	52	To be sure, Msaliti had no interest in slaying the Ubar for its own sake.	10
54	54	"Did Msaliti not encourage you to venture in pursuit of Shaba?" I asked.	10
54	122	"Do you know," I asked, "what I, and Msaliti, sought from Shaba?" "Of course," he said.	10
54	162	"Msaliti," he said.	10
56	33	"Msaliti is gone.	10
57	223	I recalled her well from before, when she had served Shaba, Msaliti, and myself.	10
