35	89	"What hold is this," I asked, "and who is the woman?" He looked to Lord Okimoto, and Lord Okimoto inclined his head, authorizing, it seemed, Lord Nishida to proceed.	10
30	203	"The daimyo, Lord Okimoto," said Aëtius.	10
30	210	"I would see the daimyo, Lord Okimoto," I said.	10
31	13	"Lord Okimoto is cousin to the shogun," said Lord Nishida.	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.	10
32	3	I was not bound, but was in theory in the keeping of two of Lord Okimoto's Ashigaru.	10
32	5	Lord Okimoto himself sat cross-legged, on a woven mat, on the platform behind me.	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.	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.	10
32	30	"They are ready, Lord," said Lord Nishida to Lord Okimoto.	10
32	31	Lord Okimoto was shorter than Lord Nishida, and, on the platform, seemed immobile, almost somnolent, like a sack of sand.	10
32	37	Lord Okimoto had small, narrow eyes, and they squinted out, from between rolls of fat.	10
32	40	Yet I somehow did not discount Lord Okimoto, or see him as negligible or ineffectual.	10
32	42	I would not dismiss Lord Okimoto.	10
32	45	Though many who receive gifts prove too weak to keep them, I did not think Lord Okimoto was of their number.	10
32	46	One of the Pani, of the entourage of Lord Okimoto, advanced before the platform and addressed the assembled, massed pairs, reiterating the terms of the contest, that each pair would do battle to the death, and the survivor would receive a tarn disk of gold.	10
32	47	So simply, I thought, does Lord Nishida, and Lord Okimoto, select amongst skills, and divest themselves of superfluous minions.	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.	10
32	66	I thrust my two Pani attendants to one side and went to stand before the platform, facing the seated Lord Okimoto.	10
32	71	"No," I said to Lord Okimoto, "they will not fight.	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.	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.	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".	10
34	102	Saru, as far as I knew, had not been seen by Lord Okimoto.	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.	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.	10
34	124	Now I would put the question to either Lord Nishida, or, if necessary, to Lord Okimoto.	10
35	1	What Occurred in the Pavilion of Lord Okimoto "Though you are a barbarian," said Lord Nishida, "you are honored".	10
35	5	"It is sometimes difficult to understand Lord Okimoto," said Lord Nishida.	10
35	14	I was then ushered into the presence of the large, inert shape of Lord Okimoto.	10
35	19	On each side of Lord Okimoto, somewhat behind, arms crossed, stood a guard.	10
35	21	Lord Okimoto nodded.	10
35	23	Again Lord Okimoto nodded.	10
35	26	Lord Okimoto smiled.	10
35	31	"I have explained to Lord Okimoto," said Lord Nishida, "your reservations pertaining to descending the Alexandra, the lateness of the season, the impending cold, the force of winter, the perils of the sea at this time".	10
35	35	Lord Okimoto smiled, a small smile, almost lost in the bloated mass of that vast countenance.	10
35	80	Lord Okimoto looked up.	10
35	95	Lord Okimoto, I gathered, did not know of the existence of Saru, and of her possible value, as a gift to a shogun.	10
35	128	I was wondering if I would leave the pavilion of Lord Okimoto alive.	10
35	145	Lord Okimoto then clapped his hands, sharply, and one of his contract women, with small steps, her head bowed, ushered herself gracefully into the presence of the daimyo.	10
35	146	"This is Hisui, in service to Lord Okimoto," said Lord Nishida.	10
35	154	I turned and faced Lords Nishida and Okimoto.	10
38	70	From these observations I supposed that Lords Nishida and Okimoto might have in mind a disposition for the women of the enemy or, at least, those who pleased their senses.	10
38	73	The war, as I recalled from a remark of Lord Nishida in the pavilion of Lord Okimoto, was to the knife, without quarter.	10
38	81	Lord Okimoto himself was boarding, being borne in a sedan chair by eight Pani, which chair was followed by an entourage of contract women and guards.	10
38	148	It seemed clear, from materials brought on board, shackles, collars, and such, that Lords Nishida and Okimoto might have in mind, were their projects successful, the acquisition of large numbers of women, who might then be distributed, or sold.	10
38	193	Lord Okimoto had already boarded.	10
38	231	Saru had been put on board at night, singly, several Ahn before Lord Okimoto, this morning, had been borne up the ramp.	10
38	235	But Lord Okimoto, I was sure, was no fool.	10
38	335	Perhaps he was no longer required by Lord Okimoto, who was, it seemed, a cousin to the shogun, some shogun.	10
38	368	Doubtless much ampler quarters were provided for Lords Nishida and Okimoto, and those ranking high amongst the Pani, probably in the stern castle.	10
38	550	"Lord Okimoto is already on board," I said.	10
39	28	Lords Nishida and Okimoto, of course, were highest amongst us, but neither, surely, was fit to command a vessel of this size, might, and design.	10
43	97	"He entered the camp, and slew two mercenaries, guards, before the tent of Lord Okimoto, as proof of prowess, and demanded to be presented to his Excellency.	10
43	108	"He has taken fee with Lord Okimoto," said Lord Nishida.	10
43	109	"Lord Okimoto has made a serious mistake," I said.	10
43	110	"Lord Okimoto," said Lord Nishida, "is cousin to the shogun".	10
43	171	"Lord Okimoto," said Lord Nishida, "desires that you accept our friend, Rutilius, of Ar, in the cavalry".	10
43	173	"It is the wish of Lord Okimoto," said Lord Nishida.	10
43	175	"Lord Okimoto is cousin to the shogun," said Lord Nishida.	10
43	192	I hoped that Lords Okimoto and Nishida understood the nature of their new sword.	10
43	196	"His place then will be with the guard of Lord Okimoto".	10
43	197	"He will then have the ear of Lord Okimoto," I said.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
21	33	Whereas Tyrtaios, as of the dismissal of Seremides, was no longer of the retinue of Lord Nishida, but of that of Lord Okimoto, at the latter's request, and was well aware that Lord Okimoto was of subtly higher station than Lord Nishida, he was also well aware, as were most of us, that Lord Okimoto, ...	10
4	50	That Seremides had spoken seemed to surprise Lord Nishida, who glanced to Lord Okimoto, but Lord Okimoto remained passive, his countenance unreadable.	10
12	329	Since the mutiny the high military authorities on board, Lords Okimoto and Nishida, of the Pani, of whom I took Lord Okimoto to have priority, had increased security considerably.	10
15	5	Lord Okimoto had found Seremides of use earlier in the voyage; his sword had been formidable, and he had muchly facilitated Lord Okimoto's contacts with those of us not of the Pani.	10
15	13	Seremides no longer wore the yellow livery of Lord Okimoto, for Lord Okimoto had dismissed him from his service.	10
30	5	"Lord Okimoto is generous," said Tyrtaios to the superior with whom he was liaison, Lord Okimoto.	10
4	39	The larger one of the Pani, the heavier, seemingly somnolent one, was Lord Okimoto.	10
4	101	Lord Okimoto nodded his head.	10
4	186	Seremides looked to Lord Okimoto, who nodded.	10
5	74	They were picked up by the private galley of Lord Okimoto, captained at the time by Rutilius of Ar, first in his guard".	10
5	85	Without taking his eyes off me he unclasped his cloak and handed it to a fellow, a fellow garbed as he was, in the yellow livery of what I would come to recognize as that of Lord Okimoto's retinue.	10
5	86	I saw nothing of Lord Okimoto himself.	10
5	88	I wondered if Lord Okimoto had instructed Seremides that survivors were to be put to the sword.	10
5	151	The guard of Lord Okimoto, as he wills, is Rutilius of Ar amongst us.	10
5	168	Perhaps, I thought, his identity was known to Lord Okimoto, even to Lord Nishida.	10
5	180	"Do you speak on behalf of Lord Okimoto?" inquired Lord Nishida.	10
7	242	"There are the Pani," I said, "the soldiers of Lords Nishida and Okimoto".	10
8	40	Aëtius, his confidante and loyal apprentice, in whose management was the day-to-day handling of the ship, dared to countermand his orders, this with the support of Lords Nishida and Okimoto, and the counsel of Tarl Cabot, admiral in Port Kar, member of the council of captains, and the war with ic...	10
8	57	It was true that the soldiers, or ashigaru, as they were called, of Lord Okimoto were amongst us.	10
9	54	I would conjecture there were some five hundred of the unusual men, the Pani, on board, divided amongst the commands of Lords Nishida and Okimoto, some two hundred and fifty each.	10
9	299	He was of the retinue of Lord Okimoto.	10
9	368	"Stop!" Seremides, at the foot of the ramp, lifted his sword in salute to Lord Okimoto.	10
9	378	This cleared an opening to the bottom of the ramp, where stood the placid Lord Okimoto.	10
9	379	"Is the honorable Tajima, swordsman," asked Lord Okimoto, politely, "authorized to speak for Lord Nishida?" "I speak as he would speak," said Tajima.	10
9	380	"Does the honorable Tajima, swordsman," asked Lord Okimoto, "hold a blade, unhoused, in my presence?" "No, my lord!" said Tajima.	10
9	386	Several Pani, behind Lord Okimoto, put arrows to the strings of their bows.	10
9	387	"Is the honorable Tajima, swordsman," asked Lord Okimoto, once more, politely, "authorized to speak for Lord Nishida?" "I am authorized to speak for Lord Nishida," said a voice from the deck, at the top of the ramp.	10
9	390	"Ah," said Lord Okimoto, politely, "Lord Nishida".	10
9	392	"I am first, am I not?" inquired Lord Okimoto.	10
9	394	It was my understanding that each lord had something like two hundred and fifty Pani in his command, that those of Lord Nishida had been housed at a place called Tarn Camp, north of the Alexandra, some pasangs from its headwaters, and that those of Lord Okimoto had been housed differently, but in th...	10
9	407	"Disloyalty," said Lord Okimoto, "is to be punished by death.	10
9	413	"His blade is unhoused," said Lord Okimoto.	10
9	415	"Lords Okimoto and Nishida," said Cabot, evenly.	10
9	422	"One wonders, Lord Nishida," said Lord Okimoto, "if Tarl Cabot, tarnsman, is loyal".	10
9	424	Lord Okimoto looked at Tajima, with surprise.	10
9	427	"Where is Nodachi?" asked Lord Okimoto.	10
9	430	"Lords Okimoto and Nishida," said Tarl Cabot.	10
9	444	"I was unaware," said Lord Okimoto, "that Tarl Cabot, tarnsman, had requested permission to speak".	10
9	448	"Ah," said Lord Okimoto.	10
9	465	"There has been disloyalty," said Lord Okimoto.	10
9	476	"Have you heard?" inquired Lord Okimoto of the figure.	10
9	480	"What shall it be, honorable one?" asked Lord Okimoto.	10
9	493	Lord Okimoto and Seremides had already departed.	10
12	94	It was clear to me that Seremides, serving in the retinue of Lord Okimoto, as a bodyguard, viewed me as a threat, as I could recognize him from Ar.	10
12	402	Lords Okimoto and Nishida appeared on deck.	10
13	37	Lord Nishida's and Lord Okimoto's course, given to Aëtius and Tersites, had intended to skirt the Vine Sea by a hundred pasangs, but the Vine Sea moves, obedient to wind and current, and it was apparently far beyond its usual haunts.	10
14	54	He had little to fear, given his sword, and his standing with Lord Okimoto.	10
14	123	I sensed that the whole rationality of Seremides was now focused narrowly, exultantly, on the victim before him, that the ship, its discipline, Tarl Cabot, Lords Nishida and Okimoto, the apprehension of the former Lady Flavia of Ar, or even of the former Ubara, Talena, was as though they were not.	10
15	6	He was, in a way, a liaison between Lord Okimoto's group and the mariners and armsmen not of the Pani.	10
15	7	As we feared Seremides, so, too, we were concerned to be found pleasing by Lord Okimoto.	10
15	16	Tyrtaios, who had been of the retinue of Lord Nishida, had now been requisitioned by Lord Okimoto to fulfill the role which had been that of Seremides.	10
15	17	Accordingly, Tyrtaios was now of the retinue of Lord Okimoto, and no longer of that of Lord Nishida.	10
15	30	After the losses of the mutiny we fortunately had still better than two thousand men who might be applied to the work, some four hundred and fifty Pani, distributed between the commands of Lords Nishida and Okimoto, and some seventeen hundred mariners and armsmen, mostly armsmen.	10
15	191	I had not noted the approach of Lord Okimoto's new high officer.	10
16	34	"That will not be necessary," said Lord Okimoto, who was nearby, Tyrtaios at his side.	10
16	36	"Speak to the commander," said Lord Okimoto to Tyrtaios.	10
16	37	"I am informed, commander, by Lord Okimoto," said Tyrtaios, "that the ship, as seems obvious, is a warning ship, and that it is perhaps one of several.	10
16	41	I cannot read the writing as it is in a strange script, but the message is in Gorean, and has been conveyed to me by his Excellency, Lord Okimoto.	10
16	44	"And who is this shogun?" "The great lord, Yamada, our enemy," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	46	"You may speak to Tyrtaios," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	48	Tyrtaios looked to Lord Okimoto.	10
16	49	"Of course," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	62	"Lord Okimoto will not be pleased," I said.	10
16	82	"None of my men, none of the men of Lord Okimoto?" said Lord Nishida.	10
16	125	"No, by order of his Excellency, Lord Okimoto!" Weapons had been issued, as noted, in the general alarm.	10
16	127	Why, I wondered, would Lord Okimoto wish to have the men retain arms.	10
16	132	Too, I suspected that the Pani on board would not be likely to accommodate themselves to the housing of Pani prisoners, who might be as uncompromising, resolute, and irreconcilable as they themselves, as fanatically dedicated to their leaders as ours were to theirs, Lords Nishida and Okimoto.	10
16	134	In any event, hardly had Tyrtaios conveyed the order of Lord Okimoto, than we heard the high watch, from the platform and ring, high above, cry out, "Beware! There are a hundred ships! We are surrounded!" I had no doubt the ship we had encountered was a warning ship, and an ambush ship, but, too, it...	10
16	148	"Marshall two hundred armsmen," said Lord Okimoto to Lord Nishida.	10
16	150	"We have lost a galley," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	153	"We will launch the galleys, and deal with them later," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	155	"There will be no prisoners," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	158	"To starboard," called Lord Okimoto.	10
16	161	"They are all about!" "Does the larl fear urts?" inquired Lord Okimoto.	10
16	163	"I find the apprehension of a warrior surprising," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	168	"They cannot reach us," said Lord Okimoto, quietly, patiently.	10
16	174	"Have boarding nets prepared," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	179	"You are mad," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	207	Meanwhile, in accord with the instructions of Lord Okimoto, the great ship had come about, toward the warning ship, and there was a rending crash, as the great ship crushed the smoldering remains of our galley, almost at water level, and eight or ten of the small boats, caught between the grinding h...	10
16	210	Lord Okimoto issued orders to Tyrtaios.	10
16	216	I did not think he was ignorant, or a sycophant; I thought it rather that he was concerned to ascend in the favor of Lord Okimoto, steadily, relentlessly, for his own purposes.	10
16	217	Lord Okimoto, on the other hand, was well aware of the sizable complement of fighting men on board, a small army, who would, in any likely contest, as on an open field, far outnumber the enemy Pani in the small boats and on the warning ship, perhaps by as many as four or five to one; and was, accord...	10
16	225	"Recall the men!" said Lord Nishida to Lord Okimoto.	10
16	226	"Enemies yet live," said Lord Okimoto, peering toward the deck of the warning ship, where men fought, under swaying bodies suspended from the yards, amongst bodies nailed in place.	10
16	230	And the Pani who served Lords Nishida and Okimoto, I gathered, though perhaps on the whole of a nobler breed, were likely to be extremely dangerous men, winnowed by years of conflict, men largely the survivors of lengthy, bloody wars.	10
16	232	"It is done! Recall the men!" "No," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	235	I would learn later it was the name of the high lord, or shogun, to whom Lords Nishida and Okimoto were pledged.	10
16	236	"You dare not!" said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	239	"I am senior, I am first," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	245	I saw two Pani whom I did not recognize from the ship, though both wore yellow, the color of the livery of Lord Okimoto's men.	10
16	250	I was some seven or eight feet behind Lords Nishida and Okimoto, for I had already moved toward the fighting at the forward port quarter.	10
16	252	Tyrtaios, alerted by the sounds, turned and blocked a blow that would have cleft the head of Lord Okimoto.	10
16	271	He might no longer wear the yellow livery of Lord Okimoto's retinue, but now, it seemed, he had made it clear, and to all, that he was such as had worn it well.	10
16	275	"We must not leave a living enemy behind us," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	280	"No enemies are to be left behind us," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	285	"We have time to exterminate the vermin about," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	287	"I do not understand," said Lord Okimoto, politely.	10
16	289	"It is true," said Lord Okimoto, "the small boats will scatter, and the matter will be difficult".	10
16	291	"You may speak," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	295	"Ah!" said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	300	"It is the fleet of Lord Yamada," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	302	"They will be warships," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	305	Lord Okimoto turned to Tyrtaios, regretfully.	10
16	324	"It is regrettable," said Lord Okimoto, "that we have left living enemies behind us".	10
16	326	"Our presence is now known," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	328	"But," said Lord Okimoto, "perhaps not its nature, the ship, our numbers".	10
16	330	"The enemy now knows much," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	332	"At least," said Lord Okimoto, "its size, its appearance, its stamina, its range of flight, its terribleness".	10
16	350	"We are continuing on, directly," replied Lord Okimoto.	10
16	354	"We shall move north later," said Lord Okimoto.	10
16	356	"Yes," said Lord Okimoto.	10
17	9	Oddly enough, by command of Lords Okimoto and Nishida, ropes were strung about the open deck, this though the weather was clear.	10
17	128	If the girl was the property of Lord Okimoto, the matter might proceed differently.	10
18	141	"Seremides' interest in you has been long noted, even from early in the voyage, by several, for example by Lords Nishida and Okimoto, and the tarnsman, Cabot.	10
19	75	This was supposedly by order of the ship's governing lords, Nishida and Okimoto.	10
19	179	I saw even Lord Okimoto.	10
19	216	It suddenly occurred to me that we must be at least two or three days from land, else the tarns, the concealment of whose existence seemed a matter of such moment to Lords Nishida and Okimoto, would remain concealed.	10
20	11	Lords Nishida and Okimoto seemed cheerful.	10
21	32	"May I implore Lord Okimoto," inquired Tyrtaios, "that he, as senior, may rule otherwise?" "Certainly," said Lord Nishida.	10
21	98	"Lord Okimoto approaches," observed Lord Nishida.	10
21	109	Lord Okimoto moved his larger bulk to the rail.	10
21	113	Tyrtaios had returned with Lord Okimoto.	10
21	115	Each lord seemed more comfortable, on the whole, dealing with the armsmen and mariners by means of an intermediary, Tyrtaios for Lord Okimoto, Turgus for Lord Nishida, though there was nothing rigid in this matter.	10
21	119	Lord Okimoto was handed a glass of the Builders by a Pani guardsman.	10
21	131	Lord Okimoto handed the glass of the Builders back to the guardsman.	10
21	138	"No," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	141	"It is my calculation," said Lord Okimoto, "from the charts, that we have abeam the lands which were once those of Lord Temmu".	10
21	143	"Lost early in the war," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	145	"In any event, it is from this coastline that the signal is to rise," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	147	"Doubtless," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	151	"Yes," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	153	"There will be no signal," said Lord Okimoto, "if our presence is unnoted".	10
21	155	"It is a risk," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	157	"No," said Lord Okimoto, "not without the signal".	10
21	165	Lords Nishida and Okimoto had never disarmed their own men.	10
21	187	Lords Nishida and Okimoto had been on the open deck, near the port rail, since the seventh Ahn.	10
21	195	"If a landing is made," said Lord Okimoto, "all treasure must remain on board".	10
21	213	As Alcinoë suggested, long ago in the cell, is it not the others who always have an accent? Lord Okimoto clearly feared a mass desertion, particularly if the armsmen and mariners might depart with their packs filled with treasure.	10
21	228	"Lord Temmu holds the shore," said Lord Okimoto, his glass of the Builders trained on the streaming smoke.	10
21	230	"Put to," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	241	"Safety," said Lord Okimoto to Tyrtaios.	10
21	244	Tarl Cabot, the tarnsman, commander of the tarn cavalry, had now joined Lords Okimoto and Nishida at the rail.	10
21	249	"We feared," said Lord Okimoto, "that we were too late, that all was lost".	10
21	253	"The third smoke," said Lord Okimoto, "that of green, of safety, means that a landing may be effected".	10
21	258	"It confirms the red column," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	261	"Yes," said Lord Okimoto, "unusual, but scarcely a cause for concern".	10
21	263	"It would be difficult to take his castle," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	268	"All signs," said Lord Okimoto, "are auspicious".	10
21	273	"Landing parties may be formed," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	275	"Order is to be maintained," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	278	"The smoke was red," said Lord Okimoto, patiently.	10
21	280	"The signals are secret," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	283	Pani looked to Lords Nishida and Okimoto.	10
21	287	"No," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	289	"It is not necessary," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	295	Lord Okimoto was not pleased.	10
21	299	"The commander," said Lord Okimoto, "is circumspect".	10
21	301	"The smoke was red," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	303	"The signals are secret," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	305	"I see," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	307	"Who will disarm them?" asked Lord Okimoto.	10
21	309	"If we deny them arms, will they not distrust us, that we would send them so ashore?" "Perhaps," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	311	"Very well," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	314	"No treasure is to go ashore," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	540	Lords Nishida and Okimoto would disapprove.	10
21	545	Beware the wrath of Lords Nishida and Okimoto.	10
22	17	"No!" said Lord Okimoto, at the rail, barefoot, his robe awry.	10
22	22	"Do not do so!" exclaimed Lord Okimoto.	10
22	25	"No," said Lord Okimoto.	10
22	27	Some two thirds of the armsmen and mariners, following some fifty Pani, from the men of Lords Nishida and Okimoto, over several Ahn, beginning yesterday evening, had gone ashore.	10
22	30	"No!" said Lord Okimoto.	10
22	38	"No," said Lord Okimoto.	10
22	51	"In the name of Lord Okimoto," said Cabot.	10
22	54	I glanced back, to see Lord Okimoto, high above, at the rail of the great ship.	10
23	12	Lords Nishida and Okimoto, each a lesser lord, or daimyo, had eaten of the rice of Temmu.	10
23	40	Following that time, too, Lords Okimoto and Nishida had retained something like four hundred and fifty Pani warriors in their commands.	10
23	43	Had it not been for the stubborn rear-guard action of Lord Nishida and others, later reinforced from the ship, and the hasty, nocturnal, massive evacuation of our trapped forces from the beach, it seems clear that the enterprise of Lords Nishida and Okimoto, whatever might be its nature, would have ...	10
23	94	"I gather from Lords Okimoto and Nishida that their movements in the war, in the fighting, were often anticipated.	10
23	106	"I gather," said Cabot, "that the forces with whom Lords Okimoto and Nishida are aligned are relatively few, and that little remains to Lord Temmu other than the great holding and, doubtless, some adjacent lands within its purview, which might be defended from the holding, and perhaps, as well, some...	10
23	133	"Lords Okimoto and Nishida will go ashore, to greet Lord Temmu, to gain intelligence, and prepare for the sheltering of tarns.	10
23	148	"Lords Okimoto and Nishida," said Cabot, "are well aware of that".	10
24	40	He was muchly independent now, as Lords Okimoto and Nishida were elsewhere, I supposed in attendance on the shogun, Lord Temmu.	10
25	31	I saw little of Cabot, but, from time to time, he appeared at the castle, arriving at night on tarnback, presumably to consult with the shogun, Temmu, and Lords Okimoto and Nishida.	10
25	97	Lord Okimoto, then, perhaps not to be outdone, gave ten slaves to the shogun.	10
26	32	I had no idea of how effective lower Pani, mostly peasants, impressed or enlisted as ashigaru, might be, as it was not their way of life, so to speak, as it seemed to be for higher Pani, such as the warriors of Lord Temmu, and Lords Nishida and Okimoto, but I was sure they could be trained, might be...	10
26	33	And, of course, they would be stiffened by, and supplemented by, higher Pani, the sort who had, it seems, though doubtless in greater numbers, previously reduced and decimated the men of Lords Nishida and Okimoto, warriors for whom I entertained the highest regard.	10
26	95	Happily, I learned, Saru, the slave given by Lord Nishida to Lord Temmu, and the ten slaves given by Lord Okimoto to Lord Temmu, were more patiently and gently treated.	10
26	189	He is Tarl Cabot, commander of the tarn cavalry, in the forces of Lords Nishida and Okimoto, and, I suppose, now, of Lord Temmu".	10
26	199	He has, I take it, been with Lords Nishida and Okimoto even from the northern forests".	10
26	216	"On the ship," I said, "who were the high officers of the Pani?" "I know now," she said, "they were Lords Nishida and Okimoto".	10
27	17	Turgus and Tyrtaios both now joined me on the parapet, Turgus, liaison to Lord Nishida, Tyrtaios to Lord Okimoto.	10
27	104	Lords Nishida and Okimoto, as I estimated their warriors, had some three hundred and fifty men.	10
28	90	But, too, of course, what did I owe, really, to Lords Nishida and Okimoto, or to Lord Temmu, who, as far as I knew, might be as bad as, or even worse than, Lord Yamada.	10
29	41	"Do not betray her! Do not insult her! You have taken fee! Honor is due! You have come to serve, so serve! Do not desert your fellows, the Pani, and others, who have fought with you! You have been treated fairly by Lords Nishida and Okimoto.	10
30	7	"It would be pleasant to crucify them all," said Lord Okimoto, "but, unfortunately, that is impractical, for several reasons.	10
30	16	"It is his way," said Lord Okimoto.	10
30	18	"It seems," said Lord Okimoto, "that you wish to preserve the men, as well".	10
30	20	"That will be our hope," said Lord Okimoto.	10
30	22	"Those who would desert have been marked," said Lord Okimoto.	10
30	26	"It would be pleasant, of course," said Lord Okimoto, "to know who were the captains of this business, those who planned and organized it".	10
30	28	"We think not," said Lord Okimoto.	10
30	30	"Others," said Lord Okimoto, "remain in the shadows".	10
30	54	"Here, noble lord," said Seremides to Lord Okimoto, indicating Tereus, "is the leader of the desertion".	10
30	55	Seremides, prior to his crippling in the Vine Sea, had been liaison to Lord Okimoto, a post now held by Tyrtaios.	10
30	56	"If so, Rutilius, half of man," said Lord Okimoto, "what should be done with him?" "I resign that matter cheerfully, noble lord," said Seremides, "to your judgment, or that of the great Lord Temmu".	10
30	57	"It is our view," said Lord Okimoto, "that the leader of the desertion did not participate in the desertion, but would have appeared shortly, had it proved successful".	10
30	68	"Would it not have been simpler to strike him in the night?" asked Lord Okimoto.	10
30	78	"The matter was cleverly done," said Lord Okimoto, "and moved from man to man.	10
30	81	"Doubtless," said Lord Okimoto.	10
30	83	"Do you think, upon reflection, good Tyrtaios," asked Lord Okimoto, "that our friend, Tereus, a simple oarsman, could have managed so much, so well?" "He spoke for the desertion, he led the flight, he was first through the gate," said Seremides.	10
30	84	"His guilt is obvious!" "Too obvious," said Lord Okimoto.	10
30	86	"Nor I," said Lord Okimoto.	10
30	89	"I think it would have been difficult for Rutilius," said Lord Okimoto.	10
30	91	"Yes, who?" said Lord Okimoto.	10
30	138	It would not do to say so, of course, for he stood close to Lord Okimoto.	10
30	146	I wondered, of course, if Lord Okimoto suspected Tyrtaios, as well.	10
30	147	Certainly Lord Okimoto, despite his ponderous bulk, his measured, graceful movements, and such, was, like Lord Nishida, a very clever man.	10
35	152	"Lord Okimoto was not pleased," said the officer.	10
36	77	Shortly, within two or three days, suspicion began to fall on a particular armsman, one named Tyrtaios, who was the liaison officer of Lord Okimoto".	10
36	79	"Indeed, he was later denounced explicitly by the cripple, Rutilius of Ar, who had been succeeded in his post as liaison for Lord Okimoto by the same fellow, Tyrtaios.	10
36	80	Too, it seems that Lord Okimoto himself had begun, days before, to suspect him, as well".	10
36	83	But Rutilius was repudiated, cast aside by Tyrtaios, after his crippling, as he was, as well, by Lord Okimoto.	10
36	95	Thus, much of the surprise value of tarns will be lost, something on which Lords Temmu, Nishida, and Okimoto have doubtless heavily counted.	10
36	197	As it was, it barely escaped the torches of Lords Temmu and Okimoto.	10
36	410	"Lords Temmu and Okimoto would see to it, for your part in stealing the great ship".	10

14	49	"It is said you have been even to the pavilion of Lord Okimoto".	10
14	53	Lord Okimoto was a lord, or daimyo, of the Pani, whose headquarters were at Shipcamp.	10
14	61	Lord Okimoto.	10
14	84	"It is said you have been admitted even to the pavilion of Lord Okimoto".	10
14	172	"Lord Okimoto?" I asked.	10
14	523	"What of Lord Okimoto?" I asked.	10
15	448	Doubtless some know; perhaps the ponderous Lord Okimoto, the camp commander, whom I had seen four times; perhaps the strange, lame, twisted little man they call Tersites, who was much about, whom I had often seen.	10
26	44	"Do you know a Lord Okimoto?" he asked.	10
26	54	"Perhaps," said he, "because of Lord Okimoto, and Tyrtaios".	10
26	79	"The quarry I have in mind," he said, "is one of interest to both Lord Okimoto and Tyrtaios".	10
26	118	Earlier I did not know if that was because of the fled slave or was no more than a matter of coincidence, but now, it seemed, another reason might be involved, one which might be of interest to Lord Okimoto and Tyrtaios.	10
26	119	Axel, I recalled, had mentioned another quarry, and, I had gathered, the laris withdrawn, this enabling the hunt of Axel, such a quarry, one apparently of interest to Lord Okimoto and Tyrtaios, might prove, eventually, to have some relationship to the fled slave.	10
26	121	"It has to do with the word of Lord Okimoto," he said.	10
26	128	"Lord Okimoto wishes to inquire into the matter".	10
34	45	It is a precaution, I gather, on the part of Lord Okimoto".	10
43	497	That should be enough for Tyrtaios, and Lord Okimoto.	10
43	507	But might not pride be involved? Would Tyrtaios, or Lord Okimoto, or others, believe I had truly captured the quarry? Why should they believe me? Would they believe me? There was a simple way, of course, to convince them of my veracity.	10
43	994	It may be recalled that this arrangement had been put in place by either Tyrtaios, or Lord Okimoto, to support Axel, and take action, if he were fortunate enough to make contact with the Panther Women.	10
52	274	"To Lord Okimoto, lord in Shipcamp, high lord of the Pani".	10

1	13	There were four of us at the wall at this time, myself, lean Lord Nishida, Nishida of Nara, who had commanded at Tarncamp, ponderous Lord Okimoto, Okimoto of Asuka, who had commanded at Shipcamp, and sandy haired Pertinax, once of Earth, student of Nodachi, swordsman.	10
11	328	If there is a traitor in high places, it is surely Lord Okimoto, fat, sly, captious, suspicious, censuring, unpleasant, secretive Lord Okimoto, a bloated tarsk, cousin to the shogun, he who would have much to gain from treachery, he who is next in line for the shogunate".	10
1	14	Both Lords Nishida and Okimoto were daimyos of the shogun, Lord Temmu, master of Temmu's fortress, now for several months under siege.	10
1	17	"Perhaps you might find safety there," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	21	"He who controls the fields controls the islands," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	23	"No," said Lord Okimoto, "no!" "What is this?" I asked.	10
1	37	Following the defeat of the exploratory force Lords Nishida and Okimoto had retained some three hundred and fifty Pani warriors, and some eleven hundred mercenaries and mariners, the latter most recruited in, or in the vicinity of, the great port, Brundisium.	10
1	39	Of fighting men then, discounting the tarnsmen withdrawn into the mountains, at their camp, Lords Nishida, Okimoto, and Temmu had less than thirty-five hundred men.	10
1	113	"They will be used sparingly, at least at first," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	129	"Or others," said Lord Okimoto, "who might follow the porters".	10
1	136	"It is for the shogun, Lord Temmu," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	138	"He who controls the fields, the rice, controls the islands," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	144	Several had been present, other than myself, and Lords Temmu, Nishida, and Okimoto, officers, high warriors, and scribes, even a reader of bones and shells.	10
1	153	"We can see little," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	165	Who knows oneself? Is one not always a stranger to oneself? "The men are hungry," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	167	"It is then a matter of time," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	211	"Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Okimoto, "seems eager to return to his camp".	10
1	213	"You were not when the camp was struck," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	216	"It is so," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	218	"Most fortunate," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	221	"It seems," said Lord Okimoto, "that supplies are scarce, and deliveries infrequent".	10
1	224	"Of course," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	230	"Our people," said Lord Okimoto, "may unsheathe ritual blades".	10
1	235	"Let us trust not," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	238	"Might it not be a grander gesture to unsheathe the ritual knives, in their thousands?" asked Lord Okimoto.	10
1	243	"Of course," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	245	"Some are not," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	248	"Those who do not may be attended to," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	249	"I fear our noble friend, Lord Okimoto," said Lord Nishida, "is unduly pessimistic.	10
1	251	"One takes comfort as one can," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	254	"The enemy is many, and, comparatively, we are few," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	259	"So some might escape," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	262	"I wonder how that could be," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	264	"Nothing speaks more clearly than steel," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	267	"It is so, of course," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	269	"The men," said Pertinax, angrily, "will follow no other!" "Your friend, the noble Pertinax, is impetuous," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	270	"I suspect," I said, "that the suspicions of Lord Okimoto, if misplaced, are well founded".	10
1	274	"He could not have known the secret location of the cavalry camp," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	276	"Such as yourself," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	278	"And your commander, to whom you seem so loyal," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	281	"Ela," said Lord Okimoto, "the commander should have sought safety earlier, his departure unnoticed in the fog.	10
1	284	"True," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	285	"Yet obscurity persists," said Lord Okimoto, "soft ribbons of fog, and drifting cloud, embracing the castle".	10
1	287	"But an assault might be made before dusk," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	289	"There will then be less danger of arrow fire," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	291	"Still," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	296	"Arrow fire," said Lord Okimoto, "need not issue from without the holding".	10
1	298	"Too," said Lord Okimoto, "there is the great bow".	10
1	328	"He of whom you speak," said Lord Okimoto, "is not of my command, but his skills in the dojo, displayed in Tarncamp, were well remarked".	10
1	330	"He is, as I recall," said Lord Okimoto, "a student of Nodachi, swordsman".	10
1	333	"One regrets the waste of such instruction on one not of the Pani," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	336	"Who know what he sees, or senses?" "It is my understanding," said Lord Okimoto, "that this Tajima, liaison between your command and the cavalry, was lost in the attack on the camp".	10
1	339	"It is not known that any so escaped," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	341	"The attack was doubtless executed by picked troops, intent on encirclement and extermination," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	346	"How could there have been so little warning?" asked Lord Okimoto.	10
1	348	"Pickets, patrols, guards, outposts, must have been recalled," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	350	"You, for one," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	354	"Is it not?" asked Lord Okimoto.	10
1	356	"Not everything," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	358	"It is regrettable," said Lord Okimoto, "that the liaison, Tajima, of whom you speak so highly, is amongst those lost".	10
1	360	"His account of the attack might be informative," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	362	"I would like to hear it," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	364	"But I fear none survived, who did not make their escape by tarn," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	368	"They will die in the mountains or be hunted down and killed," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	379	"The cavalry is not to be committed without orders from Lord Temmu," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	381	"To what end?" inquired Lord Okimoto.	10
1	393	"The commander is impatient," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	395	"Given the matter of the camp of tarns," said Lord Okimoto, "the unconscionable losses to the cavalry there, I do not think that would be wise".	10
1	407	"Do not be impatient," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	410	"Water flows as it wishes, taking what course it wills," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	414	"Do not question the way of the wind," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	416	"One must obey the wind," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	420	"Perhaps the commander proposes the first of a series of lesser engagements, compounding ever greater dismay and terror," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	426	"Perhaps the commander wishes us to put starving men, unsupported, into the field," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	432	"The commander thinks of raids," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	434	"It would be premature to reveal the tarn," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	438	How are such things to be understood? Might not mysteries be suspected, might not fears flourish, might not superstitions be engaged?" "I find it difficult to believe that you would suggest so fanciful and unrealistic an action," said Lord Okimoto, "one destitute of the prospects of success and so c...	10
1	440	"It already grows hopeless," said Lord Okimoto, "as the cavalry seems unable to supply the holding".	10
1	443	"He may have made contact with the enemy," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	445	"It is at least within our power to die honorably," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	447	"Of course," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	449	"One may, of course, postpone the inevitable," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	451	"In your camp," said Lord Okimoto, "it is said the men are well fed".	10
1	453	"Excellent," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	455	"My place is here," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	460	"They were carried away, earlier, by the raiders," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	462	"Regrettable," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	475	"I see," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	507	"I trust your journey will be a safe one," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	511	"In deceit, betrayal, intrigue, and treachery, as well," said Lord Okimoto.	10
1	513	Lord Okimoto returned this gesture of respect.	10
1	514	"The commander clearly understands, I trust," said Lord Okimoto, "the cavalry is not to be committed, or engaged, without direct orders from Lord Temmu".	10
1	515	"Of what use is a lance left forever in its rack," I said, "or a sword which fears to leave its sheath?" "The lance is to remain in its rack until grasped," said Lord Okimoto, "and the sword is to be drawn only by the proper hand".	10
1	519	"In flight, even in darkness," said Lord Okimoto, "be careful of the course you set".	10
2	45	Lord Okimoto, as I recall, had said they would be about, in the mountains, hunting for survivors, those who might have escaped on foot.	10
2	110	Lord Nishida and Lord Okimoto might have considered ritual knives.	10
4	100	"What of Lords Nishida and Okimoto?" he asked.	10
4	102	"Lord Nishida ponders war, and Lord Okimoto, I fear, the ritual knife".	10
4	113	"The calligraphy of Lord Okimoto is exquisite," said Tajima.	10
5	29	"My own suspicions," I said, "fall on Lord Okimoto".	10
6	11	On the other hand, if they were to draw this to the attention of Lord Temmu, or Lords Nishida and Okimoto, that the new camp was situated other than in its prescribed location, it would be natural to inquire how they had obtained this information, as the specified location was supposedly secret.	10
6	49	Ponderous Lord Okimoto was seated to his right, and lean Lord Nishida on his left.	10
6	57	The only other contract woman I knew by name was Hisui, whose contract was held by Lord Okimoto.	10
6	67	Lord Temmu nodded to his right, to Lord Okimoto, appropriately offering his senior daimyo, and cousin, the first opportunity to speak.	10
6	68	The lips of Lord Okimoto moved but little sound emerged.	10
6	75	The first times I had heard Lord Okimoto, in Shipcamp, Lord Nishida had been of great help, almost acting as an interpreter.	10
6	77	Tyrtaios, who had served as mercenary liaison to Lord Okimoto, and a guard, on the ship and in the holding, prior to his desertion, similarly, understood him without difficulty.	10
6	78	Years ago Lord Okimoto, in serving his shogun, Lord Temmu, his cousin, had sustained a knife wound in his throat.	10
6	81	In any event, Lord Okimoto, like many of the high Pani, of family and station, seldom raised his voice.	10
6	122	I saw Lord Okimoto lean toward Lord Temmu.	10
6	209	"Cousin," said Lord Okimoto.	10
6	211	I recalled that Lord Okimoto had earlier leaned toward Lord Temmu, and said something, and that Lord Temmu had nodded.	10
6	215	Lord Okimoto seldom spoke publicly.	10
6	223	It was not a pleasant thing, I was sure, to have Lord Okimoto as an enemy.	10
6	224	"I am offended," said Lord Okimoto to Tyrtaios, "that Lord Yamada would send one such as you to convey his words, a traitor and miscreant.	10
6	227	"No daimyo would agree to address such words to a shogun," said Lord Okimoto.	10
6	230	"You are a foreigner here, a stranger, one not of the islands," said Lord Okimoto.	10
6	237	"You will not take this holding," said Lord Okimoto, "while a single man lives".	10
6	239	"When none live," said Lord Okimoto, "it is then that the greatest victory is won".	10
6	241	"There is one victory of which we cannot be deprived," said Lord Okimoto.	10
6	243	Lord Okimoto was silent.	10
6	255	I recalled Lord Nishida had asked if Lord Okimoto would be the first to use the knife.	10
6	256	"Of course," had said Lord Okimoto.	10
7	172	"Lord Okimoto believes you will abandon us".	10
7	185	"Lord Okimoto," he said, "suspects you of treachery".	10
7	190	"What of Lord Okimoto?" "He is a daimyo," said Lord Nishida.	10
7	243	"Lord Okimoto?" I said.	10
7	299	"Lord Okimoto does not," he said.	10
7	301	"Lord Okimoto is senior daimyo," said Lord Nishida.	10
7	373	"Lord Okimoto contemplates the ritual knife".	10
7	375	"Lord Okimoto," said Lord Nishida, "has the ear of the shogun".	10
8	126	"I shall speak to Lord Okimoto," I said, "who, I trust, will speak to Lord Temmu".	10
9	25	* * * I had returned to the holding and had spoken to Lord Okimoto, and he, in turn, shortly thereafter, had addressed himself to his cousin, the shogun, Lord Temmu.	10
9	26	"I do not well understand the matter of the ritual knife," I had said to Lord Okimoto, "but it is clear you are one who does.	10
9	28	My question is this, is it appropriate to lift the ritual knife when success, survival, even victory, is still possible?" "In such a case," had said Lord Okimoto, "lifting the ritual knife would be not only premature, but would be an error of action; indeed, it would be improper, and thus forbidden"...	10
9	71	Then, behind Lord Temmu on the right stood Lord Okimoto, and on the left, Lord Nishida.	10
11	44	I suspected that Lord Okimoto had much this view.	10
11	107	"Lord Nishida, Lord Okimoto?" "No," he said.	10
11	212	"Lord Temmu, Lord Okimoto," he said, "did not approve of your unauthorized use of the cavalry".	10
11	311	"Lord Okimoto," I said.	10
11	329	"Lord Okimoto," said Tajima, "acquiesced in the ruse of the ritual knife".	10
11	331	"Lord Okimoto," said Tajima, "has a beautiful hand.	10
11	336	"If there is a spy," I said, "it is Lord Okimoto".	10
12	81	The other is a Lord Okimoto.	10
12	147	Neither Lord Nishida nor Lord Okimoto were present.	10
12	175	Why, I wondered, were Lords Nishida and Okimoto not present? And why would, say, a contract woman be present.	10
13	452	Lord Okimoto seemed less skeptical.	10
14	119	"I have long suspected Lord Okimoto," I said.	10
16	55	I recalled that neither Lord Nishida nor Lord Okimoto had been at the meeting with Lord Temmu, that also attended by Daichi and, to my surprise at the time, Sumomo.	10
18	21	"Lords Nishida and Okimoto," said Tajima, "have been told you turned to the enemy, as did Tyrtaios".	10
20	108	"I brought the matter," said Tajima, in English, "as I am uncertain of the allegiances of Lord Nishida, to the attention of Lords Okimoto and Temmu.	10
21	111	This intelligence having been brought to the attention of Lord Temmu and Lord Okimoto, a daimyo of Lord Temmu, it had been determined that she was to be cast from the parapet at a time corresponding to that at which her observed message had been delivered.	10
23	216	"Similarly," I said, "Lord Temmu, and his daimyos, Lords Nishida and Okimoto, are highly intelligent men.	10
44	9	"It is difficult," said Lord Okimoto.	10
44	12	"But sometimes," said Lord Okimoto, "they are hard to read".	10
44	35	"I do not understand the advance of Yamada," said Lord Okimoto.	10
44	38	"Perhaps," said Lord Okimoto, "he has assurances that the cavalry will not fly".	10
44	40	"Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Okimoto, "was a guest in the palace of Lord Yamada, for several days.	10
44	45	"But will it be aflight?" asked Lord Okimoto.	10
44	46	"If Lord Okimoto wishes," I said, angrily, "I can withdraw the cavalry".	10
44	48	"Then it would obviously not be aflight," said Lord Okimoto.	10
44	51	"But the towns and countryside could be devastated," said Lord Okimoto.	10
44	55	"How do we know it will do so?" asked Lord Okimoto.	10
44	57	"The word of a barbarian," said Lord Okimoto.	10
44	61	"Perhaps," said Lord Okimoto, "that the cavalry will not fly".	10
44	149	"Yet he advances! How can it be?" "He did not think the cavalry would fly," said Lord Okimoto.	10
44	154	"On what other grounds might Yamada advance?" said Lord Okimoto.	10
44	164	"Yet he has advanced," said Lord Okimoto.	10
44	169	"The word of a barbarian," said Lord Okimoto.	10
44	172	"His troops will be showered with unanswered arrows," said Lord Okimoto.	10
44	192	"It is far off," said Lord Okimoto.	10
44	196	"Yes," said Lord Okimoto, uncertainly, "a tarn".	10
44	199	Lord Okimoto passed me the glass, and I trained it on the approaching speck, still far off.	10
44	202	"It is a tarn," said Lord Okimoto.	10
44	209	"It is a tarn," said Lord Okimoto.	10
44	217	"What is it?" demanded Lord Okimoto.	10
44	268	"We will fight to the last man," said Lord Okimoto.	10
44	270	"We will need every sword," said Lord Okimoto.	10
44	280	"Why?" asked Lord Okimoto.	10
44	297	"I never doubted it," said Lord Okimoto, "but I did not hope to see it".	10
44	308	"But who would dare to release such a thing, to unchain it?" asked Lord Okimoto.	10
44	328	"How could anything so far away guide or control it?" asked Lord Okimoto.	10
44	330	"From far away, how could one see?" asked Lord Okimoto.	10
45	139	"Nor is Lord Okimoto," I said.	10
48	35	Lord Okimoto, as I recalled, attended to the elegance of his calligraphy.	10
49	199	"Leave such speculations to Lord Okimoto," I said.	10
54	217	The shogun, Temmu, and his daimyos, Lords Nishida and Okimoto, predictably, had refused to evacuate the holding.	10
54	258	"And many who are less common," I said, "for example, high officers, even generals, even the shogun, Lord Temmu, and his daimyo, Lord Okimoto".	10
57	67	In Daichi's absence, who now would read the bones and shells for him? Lord Nishida, I was sure, would urge pursuit; Lord Okimoto, I suspected, would advise restraint, until intelligence, and more intelligence, and more intelligence, might be gathered.	10
57	68	Lords Nishida and Okimoto had at their disposal, from the continent, something like three hundred and fifty Pani warriors, and some eleven hundred barbarian mercenaries and mariners.	10
59	203	I recalled that Nodachi had accepted him as a student, something which had once disturbed Tajima, and, I think, Lord Okimoto.	10
60	468	The forces of Lord Temmu in the south, I speculate, will be commanded by either Lord Nishida or Lord Okimoto, or both.	10
60	472	What I have to say will, I think, convince either Lord Nishida or Lord Okimoto, or both, to withdraw, or camp, and seek orders from the holding of Temmu, conveyed by tarnsmen.	10
