23	35	It was hard for me to imagine that so different and beautiful, so artistic, a structure, might be, in effect, a fortress, a place of harrowing might, a holding of formidable power, a housing for a hundred companies, a resister of sieges, a coign of vantage, from which might issue dragons of war, and...	10

42	38	Then I had come to the portal and the guard, with one hand, lifted the yoke from my shoulders, and flung it, and the suspended meat and skins of drink, to the table-like shelf at the right side of the portal.	10
46	11	The night of the freeing of Grendel I had crept back to the vicinity of the great portal, and, in the darkness, waited on what, if one were facing inward to the portal, would be the right-hand side, my back close to the wall.	10
46	23	It was scarcely across from the portal when an alarm rang out, and two Kurii, lifting lanterns, ran to the threshold of the portal.	10
7	634	I heard a door opened, and I was conducted within, and released, some feet within the portal.	10
8	28	I heard us pass through some four gates, and, from the sound of it, from the weight on the hinges, two heavy portals, and then, after the second portal, the last, I suddenly felt the fresh air, and wind, of what must be the streets, and I sensed the warmth of the sun, Tor-tu-Gor, on my body.	10
8	882	The slaver's man, he stripped to the waist, did not bother to close the gate, but none of us essayed the portal.	10
8	1030	The portal was empty.	10
8	1169	Then the slaver's man had entered the cell, and, taking me by the left wrist, drew me after him, and I was beyond the portal, and in the short passage, and then I was in the sunlight, outside, and I felt the nap of the worn, faded, scarlet rug beneath my bare feet.	10

10	35	With a last, wary look about the room, before which the men shrank back, he backed through the portal, and I could not gain my feet, and was dragged from the room, my shoulder abrading on the wooden floor, and then I was on the stones of the street.	10
10	200	I glimpsed something of that, once, when a portal had been briefly opened.	10
10	654	For example, I had not been carried across the portal bound, thrown to the floor, and put under the whip.	10

33	2	I set down the tray on the table-like shelf to the right of the great portal, as one looks out, toward the Voltai.	10
33	20	I stood before the wide, double-gated portal, looking out onto the sunlit mountains.	10
33	22	It was doubtless through this portal that Mina, weeks ago, unnoted, had slipped from the Cave.	10
33	23	Through this same portal, too, weeks ago, the Lady Bina had been welcomed to the Cave, together with her party.	10
33	24	Through this portal, too, recently, Tiresias had been driven from the Cave, to wander sightless amongst the escarpments, the peaks, and crags.	10
33	25	It was chilly by the portal, but I dallied, for the bright, sharp air, and the vista.	10
33	64	"They do not approach the portal," said the first guard.	10
33	85	I was not uncomfortable, back from the portal.	10
33	91	I stood there, back from the portal, and listened to the chatting of the guards, mostly dealing with racing tharlarion and the price of women in Venna, and the small noises of utensils.	10
33	118	"One comes!" called the first guard, looking about, pointing toward the trail outside the portal.	10
33	146	As I passed the wagons of Pausanias, drawn up within the portal, I noted some of his men inspecting an axle, the wagon raised a few horts from the level.	10

40	20	I suspected that the portal now was not guarded, or only sporadically guarded.	10
42	3	Three differences, or obvious differences, for I did not know what others might be being enacted privately, were that the container thought by some to be pertinent to the person of Agamemnon was now seldom publicly visible, the men in the Cave had been disarmed, even to knives, and policing in the C...	10
42	4	Prior to the revolt I had often brought provender and drink to the guards at the great portal, at that time men, usually two in number.	10
42	6	It was one morning in the Seventh Passage Hand, I think the second day, shortly before the Ninth Ahn, that I approached the great portal.	10
42	26	When I encountered Grendel, either in the vicinity of the portal, or in the large halls, I kept my head down, and pretended not to see him.	10
42	41	This morning something was different at the great portal.	10
42	55	Normally, particularly when humans had been at the portal, I had enjoyed lingering in its vicinity, to look outside, and draw in the fresh air.	10
42	77	I went to the side of the hall, back several paces from the portal, and retrieved the yoke.	10
42	79	Grendel was in the portal, and the two Kurii who carried the large crossbows had them trained upon him.	10
43	93	The movements of Agamemnon have become more guarded, men have been disarmed, and Kurii patrol the Cave and guard the great portal".	10
43	96	"I saw him taken," I said, "by the great portal".	10
44	40	"I saw you arrested, at the great portal," I said.	10
45	1	Shortly before the Ninth Ahn, I was in the large hall, leading to the great portal.	10
45	2	I moved very carefully, my back to the wall on the left, as one would approach the great portal from the inside.	10
45	10	I slipped through the portal, unnoticed.	10
45	36	Accordingly, if a large Gorean chronometer had been placed flat before the great portal, and one was to move toward the Sixth Ahn one would go to the left and not the right.	10
45	37	In any event, I sped from the portal, aligning myself with where the imaginary Sixth Ahn would lie.	10
45	45	Occasionally, from a high place, I looked back, to see the great portal.	10
45	47	I recalled I had seen a larl from the great portal once, perhaps one at much this distance from the Cave.	10
45	90	At the high points in this sometimes frightening trek, for it occasionally negotiated ledges which I, sighted, might have been reluctant to traverse, I could make out the great portal.	10
45	97	In much less time than it had taken me to rendezvous with Tiresias, he had brought me to a passageway which debouched onto a relatively flat slope of rock no more than a hundred paces from the great portal.	10
45	101	It would not be visible from the portal.	10
45	102	Released, I regained my footing and went cautiously to the opening of the passageway, and, shielding myself with the rock as much as possible, looked back to the portal.	10
45	105	Emerging from the portal was Grendel, bound, and on a leash.	10
45	112	I did not know where the execution was to take place, but I supposed it would not be all that far from the portal.	10
45	113	Grendel and his two guards continued for a time to approach our position, and then, some sixty or so paces from the portal, some forty or so from our position, they halted.	10
45	131	One of the Kurii gestured with his ax toward the portal.	10
45	205	Another moment and the ropes which had bound his arms to his sides were lying about his feet, as he crouched down, looking back to the portal.	10
45	231	"What occurred may have been seen from the portal," I said.	10
45	251	"After dark," he said, "you will go by the portal, but keep against the wall, to the right, where you will not be seen.	10
46	12	About the First Ahn I might have fled within the portal, even into the arms of guards, had it not been for the words of Grendel that the matter, my reentry into the Cave, would be arranged by Tiresias.	10
46	22	In any event, while I backed against the wall, fearing to move, the beast passed me, moving to my right, where it would, in effect, some yards out, cross the slope before the portal.	10
46	25	In the light of the lanterns the eyes of the larl, catching the light, the body turned toward the portal in the darkness, blazed like tarn disks of gold.	10
46	30	As attention was fastened on the larl I slipped about the corner of the portal, unnoticed, into the Cave, and, in an instant, was being embraced by Jane and Eve, and there were other kajirae about, too.	10
46	31	One Kur, come to the portal, looked at me, and I was indistinguishable amongst others.	10
46	57	Third, security had been increased in the Cave, Kurii now guarding the great portal and patrolling the halls.	10
48	101	It was not clear for a moment what then occurred, but a concealed portal, at the rear of the audience chamber had opened, and some fourteen armed Kurii, led by Lucius, thrust their way into the room.	10
48	109	The nearest armed Kurii would be at the great portal, and they would doubtless be summoned.	10
48	124	Back in the room, closer to the portal through which the newcomers had emerged, Kur struggled with Kur.	10
48	136	The doors to the audience chamber were pulled open from the outside and four armed Kurii, the guard from the great portal, entered the room.	10
48	140	I supposed then the great portal must be unguarded.	10
48	304	This sound came from the back of the room, from the very portal through which Lucius and his minions had entered.	10
49	39	Tiresias had managed to get the larl to cross the entryway of the great portal on the night of my return to the Cave simply enough, by luring it with food from the opposite side.	10
49	49	One supposes it may have been the same larl which, in the chaos of the revolt, when the great portal was temporarily unguarded, had wandered into the Cave.	10

9	65	Then suddenly, in their hundreds, they stood still, startled, unable to move, struck with surprise, astonished, for, before them, before the portal of the castle, there stood a single figure, this even as others continued to pour over the great threshold.	10
12	142	We were not on the dais, but within the castle, in a large room near the back portal of the castle, where I had brought the tarn down.	10

43	1	We Reach the Merchant Portal I cinched the harness straps on Cecily.	10
43	157	Pertinax and Ichiro, perhaps as much as three or four days ago, had apprised themselves of the location of the Merchant Portal.	10
43	175	"The Merchant Portal," I said.	10
43	176	"Yes," said Pertinax, "but it is not an actual portal, a gate, or such, only a point on the perimeter which is to be monitored for traffic".	10
44	70	* * * We had approached the Merchant Portal with considerable trepidation.	10
45	163	One cannot well cut one's way in through the main portal.	10
47	18	I viewed you at the gate, with the Builder's glass, on the walks, approaching through the garden, even to the great portal itself.	10

49	174	* * * I unbolted the portal of the incarceration chamber and moved back the two bars.	10
50	14	"I feel the portal," said Tajima, "it is heavy, and of iron.	10
50	17	Such a portal could withstand for a time anything likely to be brought against it, axes, rock hammers, beams of wood.	10
50	74	"They enter and leave the portal at the end of the corridor," said the first Ashigaru.	10

15	102	"Carry her downstairs, to the tunnel portal, and thence to the wagon," said Tullius Quintus.	10
15	108	I had not known, until then, that there was a tunnel portal.	10
15	258	I was not aware of having entered a dwelling, passing through a portal, or such.	10
22	19	Where was my master? He took my right arm, and drew me away from the wall, and I lay on my side, I thought, across the portal.	10

40	14	In the back I could also see the portal that, probably, led to the living quarters of Epicrates and his companion.	10

40	99	She then disappeared within the portal.	10
40	211	"What is going on?" inquired Lady Delia, thrusting her head through the portal leading, I supposed, to their living quarters.	10
42	11	Nothing was framed in that portal.	10
44	42	An Ehn or so later, we halted again, and I heard a heavy portal being opened.	10
44	44	The portal was then closed behind us and, I gathered, from the sound, barred.	10
44	175	After perhaps a quarter of an Ahn there was a knock at the portal.	10

46	45	"The portal is here," I heard.	10
46	48	Then I saw a crack of light, vertical, and then it became a shaft of light, and, as the portal was opened, I saw a room beyond, severe, and plain, and, for the most part, empty.	10

9	69	A moment later a voice called out, sharply, from outside the portal to the kitchen, "Kajirae, about, nadu!" It was the voice of the kitchen master.	10
11	2	In many places, a portal can be reached only by means of a vessel, commonly one of the small single-oared skiffs which ply the canals.	10
17	59	Outside the portal, one could see three or four of the small craft used by Rencers.	10
17	162	He had frightened me, as might have a dangerous animal, unexpectedly come through a portal before one, unrestrained and baleful.	10
21	17	While I waited, he opened a portal or panel, somewhere in the pantry, one of which I was not aware.	10
23	3	In the light of a small lamp, hanging over a nearby portal, I could make out the edge of a nearby canal, to my right.	10
23	31	Would it not be terrible to place a slave in such garmenture, and then arrange to have her, so compromised, discovered? Who could so hate a slave? Perhaps a free woman? Perhaps the Lady Dorna? I pulled at the clothing, and feared I knew what it was, and then I rose and went closer to the small lamp ...	10
23	98	His efforts were rewarded, for a free woman, hastily veiled, her companion behind her, was soon framed in the portal.	10
33	32	He further surmised that, assuming that matters had not been prearranged, a straight line perpendicular to the center point of an imaginary line connecting the two sides of the delta portal would be the simplest, most likely line on which a meeting might take place.	10
34	3	How different I was now from the filthy, disheveled, exhausted, naked, hungry slave, braceleted and leashed, who had been yesterday delivered by guardsmen to the portal of the Golden Chain! "Much occurred," I said.	10
37	65	Indeed, my ambulations took me regularly past the portal, coming and going, of one of these buildings.	10
41	191	Then, to the side, from another portal, emerged another man, short-tunicked, sword in hand, wearing a red scarf.	10
42	27	"So," I thought to myself, "the intruders within the canal gate are no longer content to wait, watching the portal, lest Adraste be ushered through to safety in the city.	10
42	35	I estimated that there had been some twenty men in the inner vestibule, to guard the barricade, and presumably some others, doubtless fewer, in the outer vestibule, to monitor the portal within the canal gate which, until moments ago, had not been approached.	10
42	78	"We cannot hold the portal!" called a man.	10
42	186	Then, sheltered and unnoticed, at the wall of the inner vestibule, as men milled about, bustling, hearty and hale, laughing and joking, now free of the neighborhood of death, Talena, as I may now speak of her, accompanied by hobbling Seremides, as I shall now speak of him, made their way along the w...	10

46	292	"If it were in the streets, we could nail boards across the portal".	10
46	294	The portal was now muchly open, for those who had crowded about seeking entrance, having learned of the dearth of paga, had, at least for the most part, departed, presumably intent on taking their custom elsewhere.	10
46	618	How was it that I found myself as I was, kneeling, naked, my hands braceleted behind my back, my knees spread in the manner of a pleasure slave, leashed, my head held up high by the leash so that I had no choice but to look up, into the eyes of Addison Steele?

6	220	Aktis was now within the portal, and was looking about, scanning the tables.	10
40	101	Then, shortly thereafter, a fellow in the garb of a guardsman, gasping for breath, stood outside the chamber, clinging to one side of the portal.	10
41	244	I pointed to an area within the walls, south and west of the great gate, not one hundred yards from that massive portal.	10
42	21	In this way, as soon as the gate was open, they would presumably clamber forth in a thick column matched to the width of the opened portal, and hurry into the city.	10
42	35	Each beam, in its brackets, stretched across the portal and was anchored, on each side, within a brick-lined bracing, part of the wall itself.	10
42	37	When the second beam was moved to the left, fully within its own bracing, the portal would be cleared, and the two heavy leaves of the gate could be swung inward.	10
42	54	"Clear the portal," I called.	10
42	67	The second beam was slid to the left, deep into its brick-lined housing, this clearing the portal.	10
