Their ships are undermanned!" To be sure we had noted, earlier, the wreckage of at least four of the ships of Ar's Station, including two of her heavy-class galleys, the Tullia and the Publia. |

"This one," said Aemilianus, indicating the former Lady Publia, "at least for the time, we will call 'Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 930 |
"No," she said, "only Publia, Master, only Publia, a slave!" "And this one," continued Aemilianus, indicating the former Lady Claudia, "at least for the time, we will call 'Claudia. |

Publia, Slave Publia lay before me, on her stomach, over a pile of rope, aft on the Tais. |
10 |
| 15 | 246 |
"Publia," she said. |
10 |
| 15 | 250 |
"Do you think," I asked Lady Claudia, "that Lady Publia's motivations in the matter of keeping her hair were similar to yours?" "I suppose so," said Lady Claudia, finishing the bit of bread. |
10 |
| 15 | 264 |
"How is it, Lady Publia," I asked, "that you, a member of the Merchants, and one who until a moment ago had a heavy purse, are barefoot, and clad in rags?" She did not respond. |
10 |
| 15 | 359 |
"Slave!" cried Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 362 |
"Slave!" cried Lady Publia again to Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 364 |
"Naked face!" cried Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 367 |
Lady Publia looked at me, suddenly, sharply. |
10 |
| 15 | 371 |
Angrily Lady Publia removed the belt from her waist. |
10 |
| 15 | 379 |
Lady Publia straightened her body, pleased. |
10 |
| 15 | 384 |
"You removed your garment well, Lady Publia," I said. |
10 |
| 15 | 404 |
"That is because it is the belly of a slave!" snapped Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 430 |
"Slave!" hissed Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 431 |
We then regarded Lady Publia, kneeling there, naked, in the straw, her rags back over her calves. |
10 |
| 15 | 436 |
I studied Lady Publia closely, to her acute discomfort, as she looked away, frightened, not wanting to meet my eyes. |
10 |
| 15 | 443 |
I supposed it would not do to tell Lady Claudia, as she was still a free woman, but she was actually, at this time, at any rate, far more beautiful than Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 446 |
"But you are a slave," snarled Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 448 |
Lady Publia laughed, scornfully. |
10 |
| 15 | 450 |
I wondered if Lady Publia thought her own truth was different. |
10 |
| 15 | 452 |
"Slave!" sneered Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 455 |
Lady Publia regarded Lady Claudia scornfully. |
10 |
| 15 | 457 |
I thought they might look well, particularly if Lady Publia were improved, as a brace of slaves. |
10 |
| 15 | 460 |
"Turn about now," I said to Lady Publia, "and go to your stomach, as you were before, with your arms at your sides, the palms up". |
10 |
| 15 | 486 |
"I am such a woman!" cried Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 507 |
I looked at the lovely form of Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 513 |
Lady Publia's fists clenched. |
10 |
| 15 | 519 |
I glanced at Lady Publia's clenched fists. |
10 |
| 15 | 526 |
"There are your friends, the Cosians," I said to Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 538 |
"But I assure you, Lady Publia," I said, "the pertinent determinations in such matters, when the women are stripped and stood against a wall, are not made on the basis of gold". |
10 |
| 15 | 555 |
Lady Publia did not respond. |
10 |
| 15 | 565 |
"With such hair, such lovely hair," I said, toying with it, behind Lady Publia's back, "she would be more likely to be spared". |
10 |
| 15 | 566 |
Lady Publia tensed, angrily. |
10 |
| 15 | 572 |
Lady Publia's small fingers moved wildly, angrily, but she dared not close her hands. |
10 |
| 15 | 578 |
I looked down at Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 579 |
"Does it seem fair to you," I asked Lady Claudia, "that Lady Publia should have such an advantage over the other women of Ar's Station?" "I do not know," said Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 584 |
"What do you want it for?" said Lady Publia, anxiously. |
10 |
| 15 | 586 |
"What are you going to do!" cried Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 590 |
Lady Publia was lying in the straw, bawling. |
10 |
| 15 | 593 |
Weeping, Lady Publia obeyed, her hands still on her head. |
10 |
| 15 | 599 |
Lady Publia, half hysterical, kept her hands on her head. |
10 |
| 15 | 606 |
I then stood up and looked down at Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 613 |
I then, abruptly, seized Lady Publia by the scrub of her dark hair and pulled her, she crying out, half crawling, half being dragged, over to where Lady Claudia waited. |
10 |
| 15 | 615 |
"Kneel here," I said to Lady Publia, indicating the same spot where Lady Claudia had knelt, "up, off your heels, your arms at your sides". |
10 |
| 15 | 616 |
Frightened, Lady Publia complied. |
10 |
| 15 | 618 |
I then took the free end of the rope from Lady Claudia's hand and, exactly as she had been tied, with the many coils, beginning near her waist, began to bind Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 619 |
"What are you doing?" moaned Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 626 |
"What does she think she is doing!" demanded Lady Publia, outraged. |
10 |
| 15 | 627 |
"Oh!" "As I recall," I said to Lady Publia, "you recommended that the ropes be made tight". |
10 |
| 15 | 636 |
"What is the meaning of this outrage!" demanded Lady Publia, squirming in the ropes. |
10 |
| 15 | 638 |
She, like Lady Publia, had dark brown eyes. |
10 |
| 15 | 639 |
If one did not know Lady Publia personally, or if one did not know her all that well, I did not think there would be any difficulty in Lady Claudia's being taken for her. |
10 |
| 15 | 640 |
"What is this all about?" asked Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 644 |
"What is this all about?" said Lady Publia, again, insistently, angrily. |
10 |
| 15 | 648 |
"I do not understand!" said Lady Publia, angrily. |
10 |
| 15 | 656 |
"Release me," demanded Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 663 |
Lady Publia, bound at our feet, winced. |
10 |
| 15 | 669 |
"Why do you speak so explicitly of Cosians?" asked Lady Publia suddenly, apprehensively. |
10 |
| 15 | 684 |
"You understand, do you not, Lady Publia," I said, "that there are many ways, behavioral and psychological, in which one can determine whether or not a woman's bondage is meretricious?" "Yes," she said, frightened. |
10 |
| 15 | 689 |
"What are you waiting here for?" asked Lady Publia, frightened. |
10 |
| 15 | 695 |
"If she is to be me," said Lady Publia, suddenly, frightened, looking at Lady Claudia, wearing her former rags, veil and scarf, "what then is to be my role in this farce?" While we had been talking I had taken the cloth which Lady Claudia had brought from the side earlier, that which she had cut fro... |
10 |
| 15 | 718 |
This would keep Lady Publia from plunging her head to the floor, at our feet. |
10 |
| 15 | 734 |
Lady Publia, as I had expected, as soon as the leash was released, put her head, secured in the darkness of the crude hood, wildly, piteously down, searching, groping, for my feet, to press her covered, parted lips and stopped mouth against them. |
10 |
| 15 | 752 |
Lady Publia squirmed on her knees hysterically. |
10 |
| 15 | 759 |
Lady Claudia's veil and Lady Publia's hood doubtless afforded them some protection. |
10 |
| 15 | 771 |
"You are Lady Publia, the warder?" he asked Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 15 | 783 |
At our feet, Lady Publia, kneeling, bent over, small, hooded, the leash tight against the back of her neck, unable to raise her head, squirmed and uttered wild, tiny noises. |
10 |
| 15 | 802 |
Lady Publia, in the hood, tied at our feet, made a small, wild noise, as of understanding, acknowledgment, dismay, regret, misery and pain. |
10 |
| 15 | 811 |
"And what of you, my little vulo," he said, not unkindly, crouching beside Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 813 |
Lady Publia began to squirm and wriggle wildly, making piteous sounds. |
10 |
| 15 | 814 |
"You must have fed her very well," said the fellow, looking up at Lady Claudia, whom he took for Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 816 |
Lady Publia struggled wildly, trying to pull her head up, against the thick collar and heavy strap. |
10 |
| 15 | 820 |
Lady Publia stopped moving, startled. |
10 |
| 15 | 830 |
Lady Publia squirmed, and wept. |
10 |
| 15 | 835 |
Wild, tiny, piteous noises emanated from Lady Publia's hood. |
10 |
| 15 | 841 |
Lady Publia squirmed hysterically. |
10 |
| 15 | 848 |
Lady Publia, at his feet, shook her head wildly, feverishly, piteously, desperately, as she could, in the constraint of the collar. |
10 |
| 15 | 858 |
The fellow then freed the ankles of Lady Publia, and brought the leash forward, between her legs. |
10 |
| 15 | 861 |
Lady Publia whimpered piteously before him. |
10 |
| 15 | 884 |
"Your friend, Lady Publia, the warder," he said to the prisoner, "has pretty calves and ankles. |
10 |
| 15 | 887 |
I wondered if the fellow saw that Lady Publia was thinking of running. |
10 |
| 15 | 888 |
"Traitress," said the fellow to Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 889 |
Lady Publia then, suddenly, leaped to her feet and tried to run, but, in an instant, expertly, with a turn of the leash, she was flung to her side before him. |
10 |
| 15 | 893 |
She looked down at the helpless, prostrate Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 901 |
Lady Publia struggled to her feet, then her legs gave out, under her, and she collapsed. |
10 |
| 15 | 904 |
But I think Lady Publia, now, truly, could not stand. |
10 |
| 15 | 914 |
"Do not concern yourself with her," said the fellow, finishing with the knot, jerking it tight, on Lady Publia's ankles. |
10 |
| 15 | 916 |
Lady Publia struggled weakly, her ankles now thonged. |
10 |
| 15 | 919 |
Lady Publia whimpered. |
10 |
| 15 | 922 |
"I suppose once you were a haughty free woman," he said to Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 15 | 935 |
"Let that be the irony, if you wish, that today, of all days, when the citadel surely must shortly fall, when she is so close to rescue by her Cosian friends, but so far, that she, today, of all days, in full view of the foe, in justice and defiance, is placed upon the spear!" Lady Publia shuddered. |
10 |
| 15 | 957 |
He turned about then and bent to pick up the quivering Lady Publia, to hoist her to his shoulder. |
10 |
| 15 | 967 |
Lady Publia lay prone among the buckled tiles, perhaps in shock. |
10 |
| 15 | 1027 |
I went to Lady Publia, who lay in the debris, covered with dust. |
10 |
| 15 | 1044 |
I looked down at Lady Publia, lying so still. |
10 |
| 15 | 1056 |
I wanted something, rather, which would prove to Lady Publia, even if to her profound humiliation, what she was. |
10 |
| 16 | 6 |
Lady Publia then began to squirm madly on my shoulder, considering such might be her last opportunity perhaps to draw attention to herself. |
10 |
| 16 | 12 |
If Lady Publia heard these tiny noises, and associated them with Lady Claudia, presumably she thought that Lady Claudia was accompanying the executioner to the wall, doubtless as she herself would have. |
10 |
| 16 | 21 |
Lady Publia, feeling the cool air and wind, emitted a long, helpless, miserable groan. |
10 |
| 16 | 108 |
I placed Lady Publia on her back at our feet, near the mount for the spear. |
10 |
| 16 | 124 |
I then addressed myself to Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 16 | 134 |
I pulled Lady Publia to her knees. |
10 |
| 16 | 147 |
"You are now a slave, Publia," said Lady Claudia, wonderingly. |
10 |
| 16 | 148 |
"She is no longer Publia," I said to Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 16 | 266 |
I looked down at the former Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 16 | 268 |
The former Lady Publia squirmed, then struggled to a half-sitting position, frantically, but then, helpless, lapsed back. |
10 |
| 16 | 286 |
"Spare her!" I had then freed the ankles of former Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 16 | 290 |
I put the thong which had bound the former Lady Publia in my pouch. |
10 |
| 16 | 313 |
The former Lady Publia shuddered, realizing what might as easily have been her fate. |
10 |
| 16 | 342 |
It did look as though the former Lady Publia were on the spear. |
10 |
| 16 | 379 |
"But we were speaking of the former Lady Publia," I said. |
10 |
| 16 | 422 |
"What of her?" she asked, pointing to the former Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 16 | 494 |
She then looked once more at the former Lady Publia, now a roped slave, suspended on a spear, and then again at me, and then hurried from the wall. |
10 |
| 17 | 211 |
The slave who had been Lady Publia, its burden by means of the ropes, the sheath and sword belt, twisting wildly, throwing her head about as though bewildered, as though she would try to see through the hood, uttered a tiny, terrified, questioning, miserable, helpless noise, her oral orifice, of cou... |
10 |
| 17 | 412 |
She who had once been Lady Publia rose unsteadily to her feet. |
10 |
| 17 | 675 |
These were the coins which had belonged to the former Lady Publia when she was free, when she could still own things. |
10 |
| 18 | 278 |
It was Lady Claudia, in the provocative rags that had been designed by the former Lady Publia, that she might hope to be of interest to Cosians. |
10 |
| 18 | 304 |
It was she who had been Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 18 | 307 |
Whereas most of the slave girls in the crowd, recognizable by the brevity of their tunics and collars, in their terror and confusion, were simply fleeing, intermingled with the free persons, some, like the former Lady Publia, were well in the custody of free women. |
10 |
| 18 | 484 |
"Or was it our pretentious, nasty little warder, Lady Publia?" he inquired. |
10 |
| 18 | 490 |
"Many think that both Lady Claudia and Lady Publia needed to learn their womanhood". |
10 |
| 18 | 551 |
"If it is true," he said, "Lady Claudia, whom I suspect is somewhere about, probably in the rags of Lady Publia, is still entitled to look forward to her impalement". |
10 |
| 20 | 384 |
I then saw, a rope on her neck, her hands thonged behind her back, still veiled, still clad in the provocative rags which had been those of the former Lady Publia, Lady Claudia. |
10 |
| 20 | 388 |
Among others boarding the flagship, too, in her improvised hood, naked, her hands, too, thonged behind her back, as I had fastened them earlier, being pulled on her leash by one free woman, being herded from behind, poked and jabbed, and struck, with a stick by another, stumbling, ascending the narr... |
10 |
| 20 | 398 |
The two free women who had had the former Lady Publia in their care were courteously directed forward, where, before and about the stern castle and even on the small bow deck, were gathered several women and children. |
10 |
| 21 | 403 |
I did not doubt but what it had been an effective inducement in the case of the former Lady Publia, and others of her sort. |
10 |
| 21 | 580 |
Finding herself under the continuing regard of Aemilianus the former Lady Publia, her charade of pretended freedom over, wisely spread her knees. |
10 |
| 21 | 621 |
Two men took the former Lady Publia, now an unnamed female slave, by the arms and pulled her to one side, where they put her on her belly on the deck, her chained wrists under her. |
10 |
| 21 | 628 |
She looked to one side and saw the former Lady Publia, naked, in sirik, terrified, lying on her belly, on the deck. |
10 |
| 21 | 632 |
The former Lady Publia, lying at the side, groaned. |
10 |
| 21 | 637 |
"They belonged once, did they not, to a woman called Lady Publia, of Ar's Station?" "Yes," she said. |
10 |
| 21 | 641 |
"You had wished to be taken, perhaps, for the former Lady Publia, of Ar's Station?" "Yes," she said. |
10 |
| 21 | 642 |
"Let us see who this woman is," said Aemilianus, "who has disguised herself as the former Lady Publia, and who for some reason, it seems, fears to be recognized". |
10 |
| 21 | 685 |
"Look over there," he said, indicating the former Lady Publia, chained and prone. |
10 |
| 21 | 690 |
The former Lady Publia, so helpless, looked at her, gratefully, with tears in her eyes. |
10 |
| 21 | 769 |
The former Lady Publia, the nameless, chained slave lying on her belly, on the deck, turned her head to look at me. |
10 |
| 21 | 918 |
"Bring the other slave here, too," said Aemilianus, gesturing to the former Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 927 |
'" "Who are you?" asked Calliodorus of the former Lady Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 928 |
"Publia!" she said. |
10 |
| 21 | 929 |
"Lady Publia?" he inquired. |
10 |
| 21 | 967 |
It did not seem likely that in the future there would be any doubts about Publia's status, nor, indeed, that of Claudia either. |
10 |
| 21 | 1045 |
I supposed that, eventually, both Publia and Claudia would be vended in Cosian slave markets, As slaves they would have no Home Stones, nor native land, no more than a tarsk or kaiila. |
10 |
| 21 | 1066 |
"May I speak, Master?" said Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1068 |
"May we lift our heads, Master?" asked Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1070 |
Publia and Claudia looked up, pleadingly. |
10 |
| 21 | 1072 |
"We beg clothing," said Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1074 |
"We dare not veil our features, Master," said Publia, "for we are slaves". |
10 |
| 21 | 1086 |
"Oh, no, Master!" exclaimed Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1091 |
But Publia's concern was well warranted. |
10 |
| 21 | 1105 |
"Surely not that, or only that," said Publia, "if only in deference to our dignity, our modesty, and our recent freedom, for we both recently were free, Master". |
10 |
| 21 | 1107 |
"Not that we are entitled to such things, of course," said Publia, hastily, "but they might, in a master's indulgence, or thoughtfulness, be accorded to even such as we". |
10 |
| 21 | 1109 |
"If a master should so please," said Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1114 |
"Tunics, Master," said Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1167 |
Please give us clothing, Master!" "Yes, Master!" begged Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1168 |
Calliodorus turned his attention to Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1169 |
"Perhaps, then," he said, "tunics would be appropriate?" "Oh, yes, Master!" breathed Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1172 |
"I suppose," said Publia, "as we are slaves, slave tunics, of a sort, would please masters". |
10 |
| 21 | 1174 |
Publia and Claudia exchanged troubled glances. |
10 |
| 21 | 1175 |
"But perhaps, Master," said Publia, "as we have been recently free, our modesty to some extent might be considered". |
10 |
| 21 | 1178 |
But they had not, even Publia, had long to accustom themselves to their condition. |
10 |
| 21 | 1185 |
"A suitable tunic then, Master," said Publia, "one opaque, one of heavy material, and not soft, sheer and clinging". |
10 |
| 21 | 1187 |
"Certainly not, Master!" said Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1198 |
"A bulky material would be best," said Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1215 |
"One thing more, Master," said Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1230 |
"If it should please masters, of course," said Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1233 |
"Certainly," said Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1243 |
"Yes, Master," said Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1278 |
"Master?" said Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1282 |
"Master!" cried Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1286 |
Publia bit her lip, but did not speak. |
10 |
| 21 | 1316 |
The fellow spoken to, standing behind and rather between the two girls took them each by an arm, Claudia by her right arm, and Publia by her left, and pulled them to their feet. |
10 |
| 21 | 1325 |
"I would recommend, however," said Calliodorus, "that the one called Publia be taken from the cage for a time this evening, to be given a good hiding at the mast". |
10 |
| 21 | 1418 |
"Would you mind if, tomorrow morning, the two slaves, Claudia and Publia, were made available to the crew?" "Of course not," said Aemilianus. |
10 |
| 21 | 1430 |
To be sure, even though she was the preferred slave of Aemilianus, her use could be handed about as easily as that of the lowest collar sluts on board, Claudia and Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1434 |
"And I think," said Calliodorus, "that the more extensive services then to be rendered by Claudia and Publia will be useful in helping them to comprehend more quickly and clearly the nature of their new condition". |
10 |
| 21 | 1460 |
The slave girl, as Claudia and Publia would come to learn, has thousands of uses. |
10 |
| 21 | 1482 |
To be certain, the situation might be quite different for slaves, such as Claudia and Publia. |
10 |
| 21 | 1497 |
"She and Publia," said Aemilianus. |
10 |
| 22 | 19 |
"You were once Lady Publia, of Ar's Station," I said. |
10 |
| 22 | 22 |
"Publia," she said, "a slave". |
10 |
| 22 | 23 |
"Lift yourself, Publia, slave," I said. |
10 |
| 22 | 56 |
Publia had been put at the ring later, and would be returned to the hold later. |
10 |
| 22 | 58 |
Tomorrow night, as it was on alternate nights, Claudia would be put at the ring later, and Publia earlier. |
10 |
| 23 | 66 |
I then turned her, and lifted her, as I had Publia, holding her knees up, close to her belly. |
10 |
| 23 | 67 |
Her body, like Publia's, was a small, curvaceous delight. |
10 |
| 23 | 68 |
I then put her on her back, as I had Publia, on the coils of rope. |
10 |
| 23 | 217 |
"Publia, slave, has told Claudia, slave, that we are to be put at the prow. |

"And may Claudia inquire as to what behaviors may be required of herself and Publia?" she asked. |
10 |
| 23 | 277 |
By means of the moonlight I could see a reticulated pattern of light and shadows there, which fell across two girls, one, Publia, sleeping, the other, Claudia, still standing, near the bottom of the ladderlike stairs, who looked up at me. |
10 |
| 24 | 105 |
The head of Claudia was turned to the left, her head between her arms; the head of Publia was turned to the right, her head between her arms. |
10 |
| 24 | 189 |
Seeing her, both Publia and Claudia stood even a little straighter, though apparently paying her no attention. |
10 |
| 24 | 229 |
"Oh!" said Publia, as one of the fellows of Port Cos lifted her up lightly in his arms and threw her over the rail of the port side of the bow deck. |
10 |
| 24 | 230 |
There was a sound of chain, pulling against the beam ring, the links suddenly growing taut, and Publia, suspended from the beam, in her chain-and-leather harness, hung at the port side, out, about a yard from the rail, her feet now slightly below the level of the bow deck, over the water. |
10 |
| 24 | 248 |
Then, a moment later, her hands pulled high over her head, suspended in her harness, she hung off the starboard rail of the bow deck, as Publia did off the port rail. |
10 |
| 24 | 252 |
I glanced from her to Publia, and then back to her. |
10 |
| 24 | 296 |
Publia had cried out, startled, and in misery. |
10 |
| 24 | 300 |
"Publia," said the keeper. |
10 |
| 24 | 305 |
Its single blade harmlessly but meaningfully more than encircled Publia. |
10 |
| 24 | 309 |
"Yes, Master!" said Publia. |
10 |
| 24 | 401 |
Publia jerked in her harness as though she might have been struck, but it had not touched her. |
10 |
| 24 | 403 |
"Publia, Claudia!" said their keeper. |
10 |
| 24 | 404 |
"Yes, Master!" said Publia. |
10 |
| 24 | 406 |
"You, Publia," he said, "prepared well to surrender yourself to Cosians". |
10 |
| 24 | 413 |
"Master?" asked Publia. |
10 |
| 24 | 415 |
"Master!" wept Publia, in protest. |
10 |
| 24 | 421 |
Publia threw back her head and wept, in the harness. |
10 |
| 24 | 423 |
Publia, first," he said. |
10 |
| 24 | 434 |
Publia cried out in misery. |
10 |
| 24 | 475 |
"I am such a girl!" cried Publia, fervently, seeing the keeper turn toward her. |
10 |
| 24 | 519 |
"Will you bid upon me?" "Bid upon me!" cried Publia to him. |
10 |
| 24 | 534 |
For an instant Publia, startled, and Claudia, frightened, stopped writhing in the harnesses. |
10 |
| 24 | 562 |
"This one we call 'Publia,'" said the keeper, "and this one 'Claudia. |
10 |
| 24 | 563 |
'" As he said these names, he reached out, and, in turn, Publia first, flicked each of them with the whip. |
10 |
| 24 | 568 |
"Publia dressed in such a way that her caste, that of the Merchants, would be concealed". |
10 |
| 24 | 616 |
"It was a good voyage," said the keeper, reaching out with a staff and hook to draw Publia, by the chain from which her harness was suspended, close to the rail. |
10 |
| 24 | 618 |
When Publia had been drawn closer to the rail two other fellows reached out and pulled her to the bow deck where they knelt her, in the shackles, in the harness, still attached to the chain. |
10 |
| 24 | 623 |
"Yes, Master," said Publia. |
10 |
| 24 | 626 |
"I wish you well, Master," said Publia, humbly, kneeling before me in her shackles and harness, putting down her head, kissing my feet. |
10 |
| 24 | 628 |
Claudia then, too, as had Publia, was kneeling before me. |
10 |
| 24 | 637 |
The keeper was now crouching by Publia. |
10 |
| 24 | 651 |
I watched while Publia was turned about, so that her back was to Claudia. |
10 |
| 24 | 676 |
As there were only two girls on the present necklace, Publia and Claudia, it is was hard to say what prompted the order in which they were placed. |
10 |
| 24 | 677 |
Was Publia, who was first, thought most beautiful, and thus led the chain, or was it perhaps that Claudia's crime, treachery, the betrayal of a Home Stone, and such, was thought most heinous, and that this explained her position, perhaps that of greatest degradation and shame? "I am curious," I said... |
10 |
| 24 | 684 |
"I assigned that one," here he indicated Publia, "tarsk, and it came up tarsk, so she is first". |
10 |
| 24 | 687 |
Publia's eyes were suddenly bright with tears. |
10 |
| 24 | 688 |
"Do not be concerned," said the keeper to Publia. |
10 |
| 24 | 724 |
"And you?" he inquired of Publia. |
10 |
| 24 | 767 |
Publia appeared apprehensive, but did not dare turn about. |
10 |
| 24 | 774 |
In a moment Publia, too, similarly, sobbing, had been hooded. |
10 |
| 24 | 775 |
Publia was then drawn to her feet by an arm and conducted back, through the passage between the starboard rail and the stem castle, back amidships, to the gangplank, Claudia, responding to the cues of the chain, helpless in the hood, with tiny steps, hurrying behind. |
10 |
| 24 | 781 |
I then turned about and watched Publia and Claudia, hooded, naked, on their common chain, their wrists braceleted behind them, being herded along the pier, among boxes and bales. |
