10 1 In Which is Recounted a Portion of What Occurred in the Pavilion of Lord Nishida "Greetings, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 110 "These two," said Lord Nishida, "were selected suitably, as specified?" said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 656 The contract woman on the left, as one looked toward the dais, said, "Does she not smell, Lord Nishida?" "She will have to be scrubbed," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 710 "I fear, Lord Nishida," said Tajima to Lord Nishida, "the woman is unutterably stupid".
Details
10
12 79 I doubted that either Thrasilicus or Lord Nishida believed me to suppose they truly labored for Priest-Kings, but it did not seem judicious to them, obviously, to express doubt as to my convictions in this matter, nor did it seem judicious to me to challenge their claim, or, perhaps better, that of ...

16 217 "Should Lord Nishida not be taken to his pavilion?" "Lord Nishida, of course," said the fellow, "would be taken to his pavilion".
Details
10
19 161 If he had put the seven heads before Lord Nishida, that suggested that Lord Nishida was his daimyo.
Details
10
28 466 Although I said nothing, it seemed to me that we had now limited the suspicions of Lord Nishida, expressed to me earlier in Tarncamp, in his tent after I had left the feast, if they were warranted, that they had now been narrowed to Fabius, Telarion, and Tyrtaios "But why, then," asked Lord Nishida,...

10
32 50 Lord Okimoto, without turning his head, said something to Lord Nishida, which I could not hear, and Lord Nishida lifted his hand slightly, signaling the fellow of the Pani, who was serving as herald.
Details
10
33 1 I Hold Converse with Lord Nishida "Your plans, I understand it," I said to Lord Nishida, "have been advanced".

10
5 310 "Nishida," he said.
Details
10
5 311 "Lord Nishida".
Details
10
5 323 From Sullius Maximus, I had gathered that it was to take place with a "mariner" called Nishida.
Details
10
5 325 Similarly, he had spoken of "Lord Nishida," which suggested that the individual, if a mariner, at all, was not likely to be a common mariner.

8 1 Tajima; A Woman of Earth is to be Presented to Lord Nishida It was now the next morning.
Details
10
8 153 "Lord Nishida," said Tajima, "is fond of yellow-haired collar-girls".
Details
10
8 158 I wondered if this "Lord Nishida" had put in a request for a yellow-haired collar-girl, if one had been included in, say, his "want list".
Details
10
8 170 "That of Lord Nishida," he said, "in which men, some men, will learn the tarn".
Details
10
8 235 "This will all be explained to you by Lord Nishida.
Details
10
8 242 "I will have you punished by Lord Nishida".
Details
10
8 246 "You, Cabot," she snarled, "are responsible for much of this! You, too, will answer for my shame, my humiliation! I will inveigh with Lord Nishida to see to it that you, too, are punished.
Details
10
8 248 I did not think I had much to fear, at least now, from Lord Nishida, whoever he might be.
Details
10
8 251 "Present me to Lord Nishida, as soon as possible," said Miss Wentworth.
Details
10
8 282 "Perhaps you would present the girl to Lord Nishida? I am sure he would look kindly on one who presents her".
Details
10
8 284 "You are, I take it, a loyal and trusted retainer of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
8 288 "Then," said Tajima, "I think it would be well for him to present her to Lord Nishida.
Details
10
8 289 Lord Nishida may then look upon him with kindness, perhaps even favor".
Details
10
8 293 "Do you agree to present Miss Wentworth to Lord Nishida?" "—Yes," he said.
Details
10
8 314 "It is, after all, you who are to present her to Lord Nishida".
Details
10
9 346 "Does the mastery not fill a man with power," I asked, "with zest, with vitality, with a sense of reality and identity, with a sense of fittingness, with a sense of being himself, with a sense at last of being a part of nature rather than a dislocated, lost, wandering fragment shorn from her?" "Why ...
Details
10
9 374 "Lord Nishida," said Tajima, "regrets the delay, but he was awaiting an envoy, one from exalted personages".
Details
10
9 395 "I cannot see Lord Nishida like this," said Miss Wentworth, indicating her brief tunic, little now but a rag, given our journey through the forest.
Details
10
9 406 "I insist on being brought immediately to Lord Nishida," said Miss Wentworth.
Details
10
9 409 "Bring us to Lord Nishida immediately".
Details
10
9 412 "I must dress!" "Perhaps we might have the honor of greeting Lord Nishida," I said, "and Miss Wentworth might then follow, shortly".
Details
10
9 420 "Also, as I recall, it is you who are to present Miss Wentworth to Lord Nishida".
Details
10
9 491 "Do not be dismayed," said Tajima, "it is from the pavilion of Lord Nishida".
Details
10
9 495 of What Occurred in the Pavilion of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 3 "Greetings," said I, and bowed, politely, which salutation was graciously acknowledged by Lord Nishida, with an inclination of the head.
Details
10
10 4 Lord Nishida was garbed in white robes.
Details
10
10 8 Lord Nishida's countenance was refined, even delicate, but refined and delicate in the way a light, carefully edged weapon is refined and delicate, as, for example, the shorter of the two blades beside him.
Details
10
10 9 "I trust that your journey hither was pleasant, and uneventful," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 14 "I am pleased to hear that," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 20 "He is in training," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 22 "We will see," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 24 "We are grateful," said Lord Nishida, "that you deigned to accept our invitation to Tarncamp".
Details
10
10 27 Lord Nishida smiled, slightly.
Details
10
10 35 He was, I took it, the envoy whose arrival Lord Nishida had been awaiting.
Details
10
10 39 Behind Lord Nishida, at the back of the platform, stood six of the "strange men," each armed with a glaive, the blade of which, socketed in its stout pole, was some two-and-a-half feet in length, and curved.
Details
10
10 45 Behind Lord Nishida, to his left, stood what I took to be two women of the "strange men," each lovely, each fully clothed, neither veiled, unlike most Gorean free women, particularly of wealth or high caste, in what I supposed, on Earth, would be spoken of as kimonos.
Details
10
10 47 Too, interestingly, the garment worn by Lord Nishida, as it is called by the same word in Gorean, korti, I will refer to as a kimono, as well.
Details
10
10 56 In any event both were on the platform with Lord Nishida, which suggested status, though in a subordinate position.
Details
10
10 65 "You have a lovely slave," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 71 "Please allow her to kneel up," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 75 "Excellent, excellent," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 107 Lord Nishida turned to the fellow sitting beside him, to his right.
Details
10
10 112 "You made the selection yourself?" said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 115 "And are my senses likely to be pleased?" inquired Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 118 "Excellent," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 120 "True," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 121 "Tajima," said Lord Nishida, quietly.
Details
10
10 123 "The other's purpose was served, surely, when the reserve was reached," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 127 "I see," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 129 Tajima bowed his head, slightly, acknowledging this judgment of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 130 "He may be disposed of later," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 132 "There is no place in this camp," said Lord Nishida, "for cowards or weaklings".
Details
10
10 134 "Summon him forth," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 138 "Summon him," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 140 "Summon him," said Lord Nishida, not unkindly.
Details
10
10 148 "You will fight," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 158 "You will now kill him," said Lord Nishida to Tajima.
Details
10
10 160 Tajima turned away from Pertinax, and faced Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 172 "He may be permitted to live," said Lord Nishida, "for the time".
Details
10
10 177 I turned to Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 182 "If I may," I said to Lord Nishida, "I would now like to speak of matters of importance".
Details
10
10 185 "Yes," said Lord Nishida, "we must speak of matters of importance, and soon, but, first, we should attend to a matter which is not important".
Details
10
10 187 Lord Nishida then looked to the blond fellow with short-cropped hair, he in the nondescript brown tunic, who had had little to say, but had been muchly attentive to all that had transpired.
Details
10
10 191 Lord Nishida then looked to Tajima.
Details
10
10 194 "'Gre-gor-e-white' and 'Mar-gar-et-went-worth'," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 200 Lord Nishida leaned forward.
Details
10
10 209 Perhaps she was unaware that she was now within the pavilion, and standing before the dais of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 245 Her concern to appear before Lord Nishida as soon as possible and demand her immediate return to Earth, before an additional and possibly greater delay might take place, had doubtless determined her to avail herself of any expedient at hand, and the sheet, if nothing else, was voluminous and, were t...
Details
10
10 253 Lord Nishida made a tiny motion with his right hand, and Tajima put his hands, gently, to that portion of the sheet which was wrapped about the head and face of the bundled figure.
Details
10
10 303 She threw a piteous look at Lord Nishida, one less then of anger than of supplication.
Details
10
10 310 A small gesture from Lord Nishida, a lifted finger, indicated that the embarrassing impediment to her speech might be removed.
Details
10
10 315 "Lord Nishida!" she cried.
Details
10
10 321 But Lord Nishida smiled, and shook his head a tiny bit, negatively, and lifted his hand a little, in a benevolent, cautionary gesture.
Details
10
10 328 Lord Nishida nodded.
Details
10
10 330 I noted the interest, too, of the two contract women on the dais behind Lord Nishida, and to his left.
Details
10
10 336 White," he said, politely, "please do us the honor of presenting Miss Wentworth to Lord Nishida".
Details
10
10 338 "Lord Nishida," said Pertinax, "this is Miss Margaret Wentworth".
Details
10
10 339 Lord Nishida inclined his head, slightly, graciously, acknowledging her presence.
Details
10
10 341 "Why?" "Deplorably, certain minor details of business were to be attended to," said Lord Nishida, "before we were prepared to entertain your august presence".
Details
10
10 346 "And what is your business?" asked Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 347 "First," said Miss Wentworth, "not only was I kept outside, kept waiting, but I was subjected to violence!" "Yes?" said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 355 "Most regrettable," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 362 "Then," she said, "when put to my feet and ready to be brought within, my head was covered in the sheet, completely, so I could not see my way!" "That is common," said Lord Nishida, "when one such as you is to be presented before a daimyo".
Details
10
10 373 He is to be slain, or flogged to the bone!" "What is your business, that of which you spoke?" asked Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 375 "Please speak," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 377 "Yes," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 382 White?" said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 385 "But, please," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 396 Lord Nishida did not see fit to acknowledge the contract woman's indiscretion.
Details
10
10 398 "Perhaps you can dance," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 400 Lord Nishida would surely not have in mind dances which might be indigenous to his own culture.
Details
10
10 412 "Are you skilled," asked Lord Nishida, "in the art of conversation?" "No," said Miss Wentworth, "and I do not understand the purport of these bizarre questions".
Details
10
10 413 "What then are you good for?" asked Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 417 "It will be seen to," said Lord Nishida, "that your time is not wasted".
Details
10
10 430 Then she cried out, "You!" He who had spoken was the fellow on the platform at the right hand of Lord Nishida, he in the informal, brown robe, seemingly indicative of no caste in particular, he of the short-cropped blond hair, and heavy features, he whom I took to be an agent of Kurii.
Details
10
10 432 "There! He will tell you! He will tell you!" she cried to Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 433 "Now things are all right! Now, all will be explained!" "You have met before?" said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 437 Stevens, explain all to these fools!" "You know him?" said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 446 Too, he had been rather in the background, and her attention had been much fixed on Lord Nishida, who occupied the center forefront of the platform.
Details
10
10 457 "Explain things to these fools, and get me out of here!" Thrasilicus then turned to Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 460 "In this endeavor she was successful?" asked Lord Nishida, with interest.
Details
10
10 471 "Please," said Lord Nishida, gently cautioning Miss Wentworth to silence.
Details
10
10 499 "Excellent," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 502 "Good," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 503 I gathered that Miss Wentworth was exactly what Lord Nishida had had in mind.
Details
10
10 547 "I have heard much of your sort," said Lord Nishida to Miss Wentworth.
Details
10
10 551 Then Lord Nishida addressed Tajima.
Details
10
10 555 "You wear a slave collar," said Lord Nishida, concernedly.
Details
10
10 557 "I am a free woman!" "It is very attractive," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 560 "You cannot?" asked Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 562 "I had the key, I could have removed it, but that brute, that monster, Tarl Cabot, he whom we brought here, for you, as agreed, took the key from me, and cast it into the sea!" "I see," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 581 Lord Nishida looked to one of his subordinates, near the entrance to the pavilion.
Details
10
10 590 Now, in the light of the sympathetic understanding and thoughtful consideration of our mutual friend, the noble Lord Nishida, to whom I take it you are subordinate, we may shortly renegotiate our concerns.
Details
10
10 592 "Actually, Miss Wentworth," said Thrasilicus, "Lord Nishida and I are, in a way, allies, and neither of us is subordinate to the other".
Details
10
10 593 "I take it, however," she said, "that Lord Nishida's wishes would weigh heavily with you".
Details
10
10 595 She then turned to Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 599 Lord Nishida smiled.
Details
10
10 604 It was doubtless intended to have its effect on Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 606 "Thank you," she said to Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 607 "Now," said Lord Nishida to Tajima, "let us see her".
Details
10
10 608 Miss Wentworth regarded Lord Nishida, startled, disbelievingly.
Details
10
10 619 They held her in such a way that her arms were slightly behind her, and this pressed her forward, accentuating her figure, toward Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 622 The Earth woman was well displayed, and Lord Nishida scrutinized her closely, and, seemingly, though he gave little overt expression of this, approvingly.
Details
10
10 625 "I am appraising my new slave," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 642 "Lord Nishida!" she cried.
Details
10
10 644 I am naked, and men may look upon me!" "Of course," said Lord Nishida, "you are a slave".
Details
10
10 654 "See how fair-skinned is my new slave," said Lord Nishida, over his shoulder, to the two contract women.
Details
10
10 657 "Please, please," begged she who had once been Miss Wentworth, "give me the tunic!" "Do you beg it?" asked Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 660 "Yes," she cried, "yes, please!" "One must strive to become worthy of a tunic," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 675 "I will let you kiss me! I know you always wanted to do that! Help me! Help me!" "You think to bargain with a free man, slave?" inquired Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 701 "Take her away," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 714 "She must learn, quickly," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 720 "Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida, "what do you think of my new slave?" I shrugged.
Details
10
10 722 "I see," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 723 "Would you like her?" The slave looked at Lord Nishida with disbelief.
Details
10
10 731 Too, she may have feared that I might accept Lord Nishida's offer, and then she would no longer be my only slave.
Details
10
10 738 Lord Nishida nodded.
Details
10
10 740 "Your name is Pertinax?" said Lord Nishida to Pertinax.
Details
10
10 761 Again, I thought the offer of Lord Nishida was genuine, but, again, I was confident he did not expect it to be accepted.
Details
10
10 767 "I trust, Lord Nishida," said Thrasilicus, "the slave pleases your senses".
Details
10
10 768 "She pleases my senses," said Lord Nishida, "but I am not sure she pleases my heart".
Details
10
10 774 "If Lord Nishida is not pleased," said Thrasilicus, "we may search out another".
Details
10
10 779 "We shall see," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 783 "Regrettable," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 787 "Your choice," said Lord Nishida, "was excellent".
Details
10
10 789 "If she learns her collar well," said Lord Nishida, "another may find her pleasing".
Details
10
10 791 "No," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 795 "For the shogun, of course," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
10 796 Lord Nishida then looked at me.
Details
10
11 1 Cecily and I Look In on the Former Miss Wentworth A few days after her interview with Lord Nishida in his pavilion, curious, I decided to look in on the former Miss Wentworth, and so, after an inquiry or two, I made my way, heeled by Cecily, to one of the large stables in which draft tharlarion wer...
Details
10
11 35 It was doubtless that of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
11 91 I thus inferred that the gifting of her, amongst other gifts, to a shogun by Lord Nishida, which I understood to be his intent, would not be imminent, but perhaps months away.
Details
10
11 121 I wondered if Thrasilicus was looking into a different slave for Lord Nishida.
Details
10
11 157 "To Lord Nishida," she said.
Details
10
11 177 "'I am the property of Nishida of Nara'," she said.
Details
10
11 178 This was doubtless Lord Nishida.
Details
10
11 213 "Lord Nishida opened you," I said.
Details
10
11 227 "Doubtless at Lord Nishida's command," I suggested.
Details
10
12 66 "Surely," had said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
12 76 How could it be otherwise, for I was disembarked on the northern coast according to the exact coordinates of Priest-Kings, secret coordinates doubtless, was there met by two agents, doubtless also in the service of Priest-Kings, though that apparently unknown to them, was conducted to a reserve of P...
Details
10
12 78 Lord Nishida seemed to smile, slightly.
Details
10
12 84 I gathered it did not make a great deal of difference to either Thrasilicus or Lord Nishida whether I took them, in fact, to be laboring in the cause of Priest-Kings or not.
Details
10
12 90 Perhaps I could discern it, if only indirectly, if I continued to accommodate myself to the wishes of Thrasilicus and Lord Nishida.
Details
10
12 127 "And how may I be of service to you?" I had then inquired of Lord Nishida, in the pavilion.
Details
10
12 128 "I understand you have commanded, in the far south," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
12 130 "You are familiar, then," said Lord Nishida, "with the tactics of a cavalry, its movements, its applications, and such".
Details
10
12 133 "Excellent," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
12 144 "You did command on the 25th of Se'Kara," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
12 149 "But you understand such things?" asked Lord Nishida.
Details
10
12 158 "Who would not wish these things to be in the hands of Bosk of Port Kar," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
12 161 "The Priest-Kings," said Thrasilicus, "command you to take Lord Nishida as your captain, to follow his instructions, and in all ways possible to abet his projects".
Details
10
12 164 With the new dynasty in the Nest had they not turned against me? Had I not been imprisoned in the holding capsule on the Prison Moon, in such a manner as to torture me, and jeopardize my honor? Might I not, then, of my own will, so treated, have turned from the Sardar to the Steel Worlds? "Our loyal...
Details
10
12 314 "So, too, I am sure, will be Lord Nishida".
Details
10
12 403 "At least now," I said, "you have something interesting to report to Lord Nishida".
Details
10
14 41 Two days ago I had spoken to Lord Nishida, again in his pavilion, and he had been receptive to my recommendations, and I had, accordingly, sought out certain craftsmen in the camp, leather workers and metal workers, and certain suppliers, who might, over the next months, secure certain goods, formed...
Details
10
14 103 Lord Nishida had declined to inform me of the likely applications of this projected tarn cavalry, so I had designed it for more than reconnaissance and attack from the air on ground targets.
Details
10
14 105 Interestingly, that Lord Nishida had declined to inform me of the projected applications of this arm convinced me that, though nothing was said to this effect, one must be prepared for both forms of war.
Details
10
14 106 That these men of the Pani, such as Lord Nishida and Tajima, and their fellows, so unusual to continental Gor, or even the western islands, should be here, whether in Brundisium to the south, or here in the northern forests, was to me, at the time, inexplicable.
Details
10
14 119 "We will need two hundred bows, at least, saddle bows, thousands of arrows," I had informed Lord Nishida.
Details
10
15 9 Pertinax, having become a student in the school of Nodachi, for some weeks now, no longer assisted in the logging, but, at my request, had become resident with Cecily and myself, occupying with us the hut which had originally been put at our disposal by Lord Nishida.
Details
10
15 199 "In any event," I said, "the matter is moot, as she belongs not to you, but to Lord Nishida".
Details
10
15 243 Doubtless he recalled how the startled, terrified Miss Wentworth had once been at his feet, though somewhat differently, in the pavilion of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
16 68 Lord Nishida, I had been informed, too, on the ground, would be on hand to observe the results of the exercise.
Details
10
16 75 Some individuals were there, and among them, I supposed, would be Lord Nishida.
Details
10
16 111 I had neglected to avail myself of Lord Nishida's suggestion for tarn-to-tarn archery practice, in which bound prisoners, aflight on leashed tarns, would serve as targets.
Details
10
16 219 "It is not Lord Nishida," said the man.
Details
10
16 221 To one side I saw Lord Nishida.
Details
10
16 223 "Tal, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
16 224 "Lord Nishida!" I said.
Details
10
16 239 "Excellent," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
16 248 "I have many spies, in many places," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
16 254 How much of war is mind, how futile without it is its muscle! It had not been Lord Nishida on the platform, in the white kimono.
Details
10
16 265 Lord Nishida, I did not doubt, was well aware of the nature of men.
Details
10
16 268 How can the eye see itself, and even in water, or burnished plates, or bright mirrors, it sees but an image of itself, and who knows what lies behind it? "Tarnsmen," said Lord Nishida, "have been recruited from better than two dozen cities".
Details
10
16 270 "If the commander of an army had fallen," said Lord Nishida, "would that not be an ideal time to attack?" "Surely," I said, and shuddered.
Details
10
17 32 And what man does not want one at his feet? Lord Nishida had informed me that these tarnsmen had been recruited in more than two dozen cities.
Details
10
17 46 The Pani, I was sure, would be loyal to their lord, their daimyo, Lord Nishida, for that seemed to be their way, and a cornered mercenary, one with no hope of a higher fee or escape, much like the cornered seventy-pound canal urt of Port Kar, is a most desperate and dangerous foe.
Details
10
17 65 I saw, too, flames consuming the stately pavilion of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
17 113 Lord Nishida, in his attempts to conceal his project, or to at least reduce a cognition of its extent, had wished to avoid any unusually large purchase of domestic tarns.
Details
10
18 1 Fighting Continues; We Report to Lord Nishida; The Stable I brought the tarn down, to the field of training, followed by Tajima and Pertinax, and Ichiro, my first, or lead, signalman.
Details
10
18 65 "We will report to Lord Nishida," I said to Tajima.
Details
10
18 91 "You are dismissed," I informed my pantherine associate, and he bowed, briefly, and hurried away, toward the area of Lord Nishida's still-burning pavilion.
Details
10
18 189 To be sure, neither of the contract women of Lord Nishida, one of whom was Sumomo, who was apparently of interest to Tajima, and the other of whom was Hana, as I later discovered, I was pleased to note, had adopted this practice.
Details
10
18 213 I looked about, wondering on the whereabouts of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 217 I trusted Lord Nishida had escaped the firing of his pavilion.
Details
10
18 219 Lord Nishida had impressed me as being politically astute, and coldly subtle, but also as constituting an epitome of a civilized gentleman, at least relative to his own background, or lights.
Details
10
18 243 He then remained standing, where he was, where he had been rebuffed, looking after Sumomo, who was now with Hana, facing away from him, several feet from him, not far from the smoldering embers of Lord Nishida's collapsed, blackened pavilion.
Details
10
18 249 "Her contract is held by Lord Nishida," said Pertinax.
Details
10
18 314 To be sure, there was little prospect of this, as Sumomo's contract was held by Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 340 "Let Lord Nishida be notified," I urged, "that he may intervene".
Details
10
18 341 "That is Lord Nishida," said Tajima, indicating the figure in the fearsome mask with the bloodied sword.
Details
10
18 345 "Lord Nishida is a great warrior," said Tajima.
Details
10
18 388 "The sky is ours," I informed Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 396 "Unfortunate," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 399 Others approached, and Lord Nishida politely received their reports, as well.
Details
10
18 401 Lord Nishida turned to me.
Details
10
18 404 "Now," smiled Lord Nishida, "it seems a feast, a victory feast, would be in order, when things are done, and matters cleared, of course, a feast in, say, a day or two, after the day's work.
Details
10
18 419 "Yes," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 422 "Even now," said Lord Nishida, "she is within a ring, her small hands upon the rope".
Details
10
18 427 "How fares the blond-haired, blue-eyed slave whom I believe is now named 'Saru'?" asked Lord Nishida of me.
Details
10
18 431 "Doubtless the honorable Pertinax, tarnsman, has more recent news," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 432 I recalled that Lord Nishida had had plans for the former Miss Margaret Wentworth.
Details
10
18 434 "That seems strange to me," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 436 "My fellow, Pertinax, I fear," I said to Lord Nishida, "fears to look upon her".
Details
10
18 437 "'Fears'?" inquired Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 441 "The slave of a slave?" smiled Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 443 "Surely, Pertinax," said Lord Nishida, "you know her neck is in a collar".
Details
10
18 446 "Until she is suitably mastered," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 448 "Perhaps she should be whipped," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 455 "Then he is weak," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 457 "One who is strong in one way may be weak in another," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 466 "By now, the hair of the slave should be grown out a bit," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 483 "Do you think," asked Lord Nishida, "that the slave, Saru, is ready to leave the stable?" "I am sure of it," I said.
Details
10
18 485 "Good," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 491 "How of Earth he is," commented Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 495 "Your colleagues may accompany you," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 497 "There will be many tables," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 501 "Unfortunately," said Lord Nishida, "our friends did not bring free women with them".
Details
10
18 516 "By women," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 518 "Yes," said Lord Nishida, "that, too, is a purpose of women".
Details
10
18 520 "Alas, yes," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 524 "Yes," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
18 534 The men of Lord Nishida had been methodically examining each structure in both the housing area and those surrounding the Plaza of Training.
Details
10
18 542 "With your permission?" I asked Lord Nishida.
Details
10
19 4 Lord Nishida had remained in the centrality of Tarncamp, directing officers and men.
Details
10
19 15 To be sure, I was confident the last thing such fugitives would desire would be to encounter Lord Nishida's Ashigaru.
Details
10
19 157 He left them at the feet of Lord Nishida," said another.
Details
10
19 160 I wondered what his relationship, if any, might be to Lord Nishida, and his mysterious project.
Details
10
19 162 To be sure, it seemed he had asked nothing of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
19 165 I recalled that Lord Nishida, after the attack, had said that his plans would be advanced.
Details
10
19 207 "She belongs to Lord Nishida," I reminded him.
Details
10
19 270 "Why else do you think he is here, with Lord Nishida?" I was then silent, sensing that this matter might best be left unaddressed.
Details
10
19 279 "It is the law of Lord Nishida".
Details
10
20 24 "Lord Nishida, and some others," I said, "are commanders, ones less dispensable".
Details
10
20 39 It was he, it had been determined, who had fired upon he whom he thought was Lord Nishida during the exercises of the preceding morning, and had then fled, to soon return, guiding the horde with which we had done contest, in the sky, on the ground.
Details
10
20 47 Lord Nishida had assured me that there were spies in the camp.
Details
10
20 53 Too, recall that Lord Nishida intends her for a shogun".
Details
10
20 163 "A clever ruse," smiled Tajima, "worthy of Lord Nishida himself".
Details
10
20 202 It was true, of course, that she had some value to Lord Nishida, so much that he was even considering her as a possible gift for a shogun.
Details
10
20 245 "Lord Nishida would never permit it".
Details
10
21 12 "Lord Nishida will not be pleased," said Tajima, gloomily.
Details
10
22 107 Pertinax did not know, as Cecily and I knew, that the stable grooms had well ignited, as it had amused them, and doubtless in accord with the instructions of Lord Nishida, slave fires in the belly of the former Miss Wentworth, at that time a stable slave at their disposal.
Details
10
22 123 "Lord Nishida will have him crucified," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 164 The girl, freed of bonds, naked, in Lord Nishida's collar, lying nearby, the stains of the stable still on her, turned to her side, uneasily, and whimpered.
Details
10
22 205 "You are the prisoner of Lord Nishida," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 211 Ashigaru will call for her, see that she is cleaned up, and conduct her to Lord Nishida".
Details
10
22 257 He had heard me referred to as Bosk of Port Kar, in the pavilion of Lord Nishida, but he knew me, primarily, surely, as Tarl Cabot, a tarnsman.
Details
10
22 285 "This man would have slain Lord Nishida, he fled, he brought foes to our camp, he is a spy, he fought against us!" "You would have permitted me to depart?" said Licinius.
Details
10
22 306 "I must report this to Lord Nishida," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 310 Perhaps Lord Nishida will be satisfied".
Details
10
22 346 "Lord Nishida will not be pleased," said Tajima.
Details
10
22 409 There was to be a feast tomorrow, after the day's work, as Lord Nishida had suggested.
Details
10
22 412 The plans of Lord Nishida, it seemed, given the discovery of the camp, were to be advanced.
Details
10
22 494 I hoped her master, Lord Nishida, would now permit her hair to grow.
Details
10
22 509 Lord Nishida, I surmised, had been amusing himself at the expense of Pertinax, when he had suggested that Saru might serve nude.
Details
10
22 517 In any event, the matter was up to Lord Nishida.
Details
10
22 589 "She belongs to Lord Nishida," he said, angrily.
Details
10
23 76 I sat near Lord Nishida, and he had offered me a sip of a different fermented beverage, one I had once tasted on Earth, though not of so fine a quality.
Details
10
23 84 Lord Nishida smiled.
Details
10
23 87 I doubted that Lord Nishida had given orders that I was to be slain after the feast, for he had shown me something surprising earlier in the day, in a tour of some of the remoter storage sheds, near the training fields.
Details
10
23 170 Is it not difference which takes one's attention, amongst snow sleen a darker fur, amongst the odor of penned verr, the suggestion, ever so slight, a whisper in the night, of the larl's scent? I might have called this to the attention of Lord Nishida but he had withdrawn from the tables.
Details
10
23 316 I thought of Licinius, and the attempt he had made on the life of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 1 In the Tent of Lord Nishida Two Ashigaru crossed their glaives, barring my passage.
Details
10
24 3 The temporary quarters of Lord Nishida was a double tent, pitched not far from the ashes of his pavilion.
Details
10
24 5 "I must speak with Lord Nishida!" I said.
Details
10
24 9 I did not know if Lord Nishida, given his cunning and warcraft, would be within the daimyo's tent or not, but it was surely the obvious place to bring my suspicions.
Details
10
24 10 "I would speak with Lord Nishida!" I said.
Details
10
24 24 "I tell you Lord Nishida is in danger!" "No longer," said the officer.
Details
10
24 27 "Lord Nishida! He is safe!" "Now," said the officer, with satisfaction.
Details
10
24 29 "But perhaps not in a moment! Be vigilant!" "Please enter," called Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 33 The inner room of the double tent was lit by tharlarion-oil lamps, and I found Lord Nishida sitting cross-legged, at his ease, behind a small table, with a small cup in hand.
Details
10
24 37 "May I present," said Lord Nishida, "five retainers, who, though barbarians, like yourself, are loyal retainers, trusted servitors.
Details
10
24 40 "You are known, of course, to them," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 45 "It was intended you should suspect them," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 49 "You have the wariness, the alertness, of the warrior," said Lord Nishida, "as I had thought you would.
Details
10
24 60 "Also," said Lord Nishida, "it would be a bit foolhardy to overtake them in a direct route to the tent, would it not?" "I suppose so," I said.
Details
10
24 61 "Your Pertinax would probably have sped here directly, and died," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 64 "Quintus?" asked Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 66 "Good," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 69 "True," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 78 "I think," said Lord Nishida, "all things considered, we have tested your alertness, your cleverness, and your benevolent dispositions concerning my person, whatever might have been their motivations.
Details
10
24 81 "He is to be commended for his caution," smiled Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 83 "You could have struck at me many times, if you had wished," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 87 "Noble friends," said Lord Nishida to the five fellows with us in the tent, "you have done well.
Details
10
24 92 "Ito!" called Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 99 Too, with a gesture, Lord Nishida released the two contract women and they, rising to their feet, with small steps, took their exit from the tent.
Details
10
24 100 "Stay a bit, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida, and I sat down, cross-legged, across from him, across the small table, and watched him pour himself, and then me, a tiny cup of sake.
Details
10
24 101 "Do you like it?" asked Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 103 "What do you think of me?" asked Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 115 "Lord Nishida is subtle," I said.
Details
10
24 124 "It is my hope that that is so," smiled Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 134 "Those may not be their true names," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 143 "At least one is a spy," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 145 "I do not know," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 154 "I will proceed differently, with patience," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 158 "Lord Nishida is indeed subtle," I said.
Details
10
24 159 "I am troubled by one thing," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 163 "I fear so," smiled Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 167 "Many do, and know it not," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 173 "The ost listens, is attentive, and patient," smiled Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 176 "I do not think so," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 181 "And you survived," smiled Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 184 "Not like any other," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 187 "Finish your sake," suggested Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 192 "Nor you yours," responded Lord Nishida, quietly.
Details
10
24 194 "Sake is to be sipped," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 197 "You have forged a sword, and are not curious as to its purpose?" asked Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 199 "I assure you, it has one," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 206 "It would be an unwise choice," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 223 "Splendid," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 225 "That was my intention," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
24 227 "Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
25 9 I did not care for what had occurred in the tent of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
25 14 I had spoken of rounds to Lord Nishida.
Details
10
25 20 I was not pleased with what had occurred in the tent of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
25 24 Lord Nishida was brilliant, and cunning.
Details
10
25 27 I thought Lord Nishida such a man.
Details
10
25 35 I suspected Lord Nishida, for better or for worse, did not.
Details
10
25 39 I wondered if Lord Nishida was truly loyal to his shogun, and, if so, I wondered if his shogun was such as to deserve such loyalty, or might he, rather, in his way, regard lightly the feudal pledges which would bind a lord and vassal.
Details
10
25 40 Did Lord Nishida covet the shogunate? Is not power the drug of all drugs, the most dangerous of all, transcending the trivialities, the banalities, of chemistry, to which even the most professedly humble and self-effacing might be irremediably addicted? But perhaps he was loyal.
Details
10
25 43 Did not Lord Nishida himself, as daimyos and shoguns, as Ubars, and tyrants, and kings and princes, sit uneasily beneath the sword of Damocles? Men were men, I thought, whether of Ar, or Cos, or Schendi, or of the Pani.
Details
10
25 54 If Lord Nishida was correct at least one of the five men I had met in his tent was a spy, and one was an assassin.
Details
10
25 55 If one were an assassin then Lord Nishida was, indeed, so to speak, living with an ost.
Details
10
25 56 To be sure, if the assassin were also a spy, or the spy, to be sure a role unusual for one of that caste, I supposed that Lord Nishida was in no immediate danger, for the spy would wish to gather information, and would be unlikely to make his strike, until his reports were complete, or no longer req...
Details
10
25 90 I wondered from what source Lord Nishida derived his information.
Details
10
25 94 If so, what effect? How would he know that one or more of the five was a spy, or that, amongst the five, there might be an assassin? Might this be conjecture on his part? Might it not even be the result of some aberration, or paranoia? But I did not think Lord Nishida insane.
Details
10
25 134 These were, doubtless, given the latitude, the larls of Lord Nishida, which might well still be in the vicinity, frequenting their former haunts, making their rounds as though the encirclements of wands was still in place.
Details
10
25 164 Perhaps I had spent too long with Lord Nishida.
Details
10
25 181 Lord Nishida's plans, I had been informed, had been advanced.
Details
10
25 184 Lord Nishida might, as other commanders, gamble, for such things are inevitable in war, but, as most other commanders, as well, I did not think he would do so without necessity.
Details
10
25 186 I considered leaving the service of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
25 191 One did not lightly leave the service of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
25 209 How came they to known Gor? What were the projects of Lord Nishida? Secrets had been breached.
Details
10
25 212 Perhaps I would remain in the service of Lord Nishida, at least for a time.
Details
10
26 15 Might this be some new thread in the obscure tapestry which Lord Nishida, or others, were weaving? A ten would soon be aflight, to search for the overdue guard, whose failure to return when expected had concerned Tajima.
Details
10
26 47 The guard might, of course, have been acting under the command of Lord Nishida, or another officer.
Details
10
26 49 But I did not think Lord Nishida was involved in this.
Details
10
27 16 I did not know if Lord Nishida had further need for me or not.
Details
10
27 18 I did not doubt that Tajima had reported to Lord Nishida my flight of the preceding late evening, and my seeming encounter with an unidentified tarnsman, an encounter I had refused to explain to him.
Details
10
27 19 I did not begrudge the conveyance of this sort of intelligence to Lord Nishida, nor did I resent Tajima being the modality of its conveyance.
Details
10
27 23 In one of the wagons trundling past were several contract women, among them Sumomo and Hana, both of whom were under contract, as I understood it, to Lord Nishida.
Details
10
27 30 I was sure Lord Nishida did not trust me, but I did not feel slighted by any suspicions he might harbor.
Details
10
27 49 Ashigaru prowled the edges of the road, lest any of Lord Nishida's minions, primarily mercenaries, be tempted to avail themselves of an unobstructed highway to another prince, one with perhaps a deeper purse.
Details
10
27 84 "Thank you for abiding," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
27 91 As I could, I examined the countenance of Lord Nishida, but it appeared benign and pleasant.
Details
10
27 94 I had no doubt, as noted, that Lord Nishida knew of last night's flighted interview over the forest with some unrecognized tarnsman.
Details
10
27 97 "It is always a pleasure to speak with you," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
27 99 "The smoke is unpleasant," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
27 102 It did not surprise me that Lord Nishida accompanied his men on foot.
Details
10
27 106 Too, though some daimyos might have had recourse to sedan chairs, palanquins, or such, Lord Nishida, whom I had seen as a warrior, and one of some formidableness, would eschew such.
Details
10
27 149 Should the women of Earth, then, any more than the Gorean woman, be denied her womanhood, her most profound needs and desires, the right of the natural woman, in her heart desiring to be mastered and possessed, the right to be owned, and fulfilled, the right, so to speak, to be collared? Must they c...
Details
10
27 162 "She is the property of Lord Nishida," he said.
Details
10
27 165 "We are to join the guard of Lord Nishida, as I understand it".
Details
10
28 164 Lord Nishida, interestingly, marched with his troops, braving the cold and mud, and slept in his pavilion tent.
Details
10
28 192 What Pertinax's Jane and Lord Nishida's Saru had in common, of course, was that they were both human females, and thus, from a common Gorean point of view, at least amongst Gorean males, they were both, and should be, natural slaves.
Details
10
28 210 I did talk to Lord Nishida once about her, commenting on the rationale for her special treatment, that doubtless being to protect her from the miseries and ardors of the march.
Details
10
28 211 "But, too," had said Lord Nishida, "we wish her to fear her fellow slaves".
Details
10
28 213 "That," said Lord Nishida, "she will see men as her only protectors, her only defense, and will thus be the more anxious to be fully pleasing to them".
Details
10
28 241 I thought the forests empty of men, but one did not know, and I had been assured that there were spies in the camp of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
28 244 I thought of the fellows encountered in the tent of Lord Nishida, at Tarncamp, Quintus, Telarion, Fabius, Lykourgos, and Tyrtaios.
Details
10
28 247 Lord Nishida, however, had not done so.
Details
10
28 381 Yet, from the time of the attack on the camp, Lord Nishida had made it clear to me that his plans, whatever they might be, must be advanced.
Details
10
28 418 "Call Lord Nishida!" I heard.
Details
10
28 432 I became aware of Lord Nishida, now standing at my side.
Details
10
28 435 "Give me a lantern," said Lord Nishida, and was handed a lantern.
Details
10
28 440 "The assassin's weapon," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
28 448 "Double the guard," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
28 452 "Unfortunate," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
28 455 "Well, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida, "we have solved one of our problems".
Details
10
28 457 "We have discovered our assassin," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
28 460 "How so?" asked Lord Nishida, interested.
Details
10
28 465 "Interesting," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
28 467 "As you wish," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
28 474 Similarly, if there were spies or assassins in the camp, it seemed to me that their target of primary interest, once it was decided to strike, would be not me but Lord Nishida.
Details
10
28 476 Two or three men accompanied me, and, too, so did Lord Nishida.
Details
10
28 484 "Sleen do not normally attack humans, do they?" asked Lord Nishida.
Details
10
28 490 "Interesting," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
29 82 I could see Lord Nishida and his guard making their way down toward the river.
Details
10
30 134 "I did not see him coming to greet Lord Nishida," I said.
Details
10
30 189 And Lord Nishida will not consent to the decimation of his men.

30 206 At that moment we heard the roar of caged larls, as, down from the forest, came the cage wagons housing Lord Nishida's pets, of which there were some ten, as I had counted, two from the pavilion, and some eight, who had prowled the wands.

31 1 I Hear of the Selections "We anticipated your reluctance, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
31 6 "You refuse?" asked Lord Nishida.
Details
10
31 11 "I expected it," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
31 13 "Lord Okimoto is cousin to the shogun," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
31 15 "Pertinax, even Tajima, and Ichiro, and others, have objected," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
31 17 "They have been reprimanded," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
31 19 "Certainly not," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
31 24 "He is outside," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
31 27 "Too," said Lord Nishida, "who could stand against him?" "True," I said.
Details
10
31 28 "The selections will take place tomorrow," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
31 30 "You will not be expected to participate," said Lord Nishida.

31 33 "They are mercenaries," said Lord Nishida, "and the dregs of such, chosen for skill and venality, brought from a hundred cities, from the ruins and rubble of Ar, from the alleys of Besnit and Harfax, from the wharves of Brundisium and Schendi, men without Home Stones, thieves, outlaws, murderers, ou...

31 35 "No one needs fight who does not wish it," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
31 38 "That would be unfortunate," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
31 40 "Some five hundred," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
31 42 "They are mercenaries," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
31 43 "They will cut their brother's throat for a silver tarsk, so why not that of a stranger for a disk of gold?" "And who," I asked, "will preside over this slaughter?" "Lord Okimoto, of course," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
31 45 "He is cousin to the shogun," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
31 47 "The selections," said Lord Nishida, rising, "take place tomorrow".
Details

32 6 At his right hand sat Lord Nishida.
Details
10
32 9 There were many Ashigaru and officers about, both of the commands of Lord Nishida, many of whom I recognized, and many others, I took it, of Lord Okimoto.
Details
10
32 13 The place of killing was the beach, a corridor between the soft flow of the Alexandra and the platform, on which were found Lords Nishida and Okimoto, with its fronting and flanking, extended mass of armed observers, almost wholly Pani.
Details
10
32 30 "They are ready, Lord," said Lord Nishida to Lord Okimoto.
Details
10
32 31 Lord Okimoto was shorter than Lord Nishida, and, on the platform, seemed immobile, almost somnolent, like a sack of sand.
Details
10
32 35 He had a rolled knot of hair at the back of his head, as did Lord Nishida.
Details
10
32 38 Lord Nishida was straight, lean like a blade, imperturbable.
Details
10
32 47 So simply, I thought, does Lord Nishida, and Lord Okimoto, select amongst skills, and divest themselves of superfluous minions.
Details
10
32 67 Lord Nishida rose to his feet.
Details
10
32 75 Lord Okimoto said something to Lord Nishida, which I could not hear, and then, slowly, ponderously, assisted by servitors, he rose to his feet and retired from the platform.
Details
10
32 76 "What did he say?" I asked Lord Nishida, who had remained on the platform, standing.
Details
10
32 77 "He said," said Lord Nishida, "'these are the men I would have with me.
Details
10
32 90 "Of course," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
32 93 "What if they had fought?" I asked Lord Nishida.
Details
10
32 94 "Then," said Lord Nishida, "regrettably five hundred would be dead".
Details
10
32 98 "And what of the limited number of berths on the great ship?" Lord Nishida smiled.
Details
10
33 10 "This is a skirmish," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
33 26 "One does not always have that option," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
33 29 "Men such as you," I said to Lord Nishida, "are rare in what we sometimes think of as 'known Gor'".
Details
10
33 33 How, then, had they come? And why, then, could they not return as they had come? A cloud seemed to move in the narrow eyes of Lord Nishida.
Details
10
33 35 "I think," said Lord Nishida, "that a wager is involved, or perhaps a contest of sorts, amongst spirits, powerful beings".
Details
10
33 37 "There were battles, several," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
33 63 "We must learn their language or be destroyed," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
33 68 "Who disputes the will of the gods?" asked Lord Nishida.
Details
10
33 70 "Other things were brought, as well," said Lord Nishida, "recipes, seeds, serums, and such".
Details
10
33 73 "But these strange men," said Lord Nishida, "attempted to rule us".
Details
10
33 75 "They were crucified," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
33 77 "No," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
33 80 "It was the night before the final battle," said Lord Nishida, "when we were to be swept into the sea".
Details
10
33 89 "We encountered, and were dealt with," said Lord Nishida, "by many Goreans, prepared to welcome and direct us.
Details
10
33 94 Lord Nishida shuddered, and I did not inquire the cause of his concern.
Details
10
33 97 "I fear," said Lord Nishida, "it is a game, which we are to resolve on another's board".
Details
10
33 106 "Much has been prepared," said Lord Nishida, quietly.
Details
10
33 108 "Must not each god have a side," he asked, "a favored outcome?" Surely, I thought, the foes of Lord Nishida and Lord Okimoto will have their resources and allies, as well.
Details
10
33 112 "Of course," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
33 114 "How so?" asked Lord Nishida, interested.
Details
10
33 121 "I have not been quite candid with you, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
33 123 "Such a force," said Lord Nishida, "is already on the march".
Details
10
33 127 "When the enemy arrives," said Lord Nishida, "he will find only ashes".
Details
10
33 135 "Soon," said Lord Nishida, "the ship will sail".
Details
10
33 137 "Soon," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
33 141 "That is why we must not loiter," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
33 146 "We have no choice," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
33 150 "I do not doubt his madness," said Lord Nishida, "but, too, I do not doubt his genius.
Details
10
33 154 "We cannot remain here," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
34 11 "It is all right with Lord Nishida," I assured him.
Details
10
34 69 "That was not clear at the time, I gather," I said, "but it seems reasonably clear now that the agency involved must be the Pani, say, Lord Nishida, or Lord Okimoto, or those in whose behalf they labor".
Details
10
34 87 Lord Nishida had made arrangements for her training.
Details
10
34 103 Lord Nishida, it seemed, had not see fit to present her before the greater daimyo.
Details
10
34 114 I was reluctant to take either Cecily or Jane down the Alexandra, but I did not think Lords Nishida and Okimoto, who were unwilling to accept the resignations of men, but would rather put them to the sword, would be more willing to accept the defections of slaves.
Details
10
34 115 I had put the matter to Lord Nishida and he had reminded me that it would be difficult for a naked woman to survive the winter in the forests, particularly if neck-chained in a coffle, shackled and back-braceleted.
Details
10
34 122 I had refrained hitherto from directly confronting either Lord Nishida or Lord Okimoto with the matter of the supposed hold over me, in virtue of some woman.
Details
10
34 124 Now I would put the question to either Lord Nishida, or, if necessary, to Lord Okimoto.

35 4 Lord Nishida and I were now in the vestibule of this building.

35 5 "It is sometimes difficult to understand Lord Okimoto," said Lord Nishida.
Details

35 8 "I will try to be of assistance," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
35 20 "This is Tarl Cabot, tarnsman, commander of the tarn cavalry, victor at the battle of Tarncamp, of whom I have spoken," said Lord Nishida.
Details
10
35 24 "The victor at Tarncamp," I said, "was Tarncamp's commander, your colleague, Lord Nishida.
