10 |

10 |

10 |
| 17 | 85 |
"The projection points for the Flame Death are located in the surveillance craft," said Sarm, "but the coordinates are fixed and the firing signal is relayed from this room. |
10 |
| 17 | 88 |
I looked about the room. |
10 |
| 17 | 91 |
I was told by Sarm that there were four hundred such cubes in the room, and monitoring each, I could see a Priest-King, tall, alert, unmoving. |
10 |

"But I see that you are distressed by the Scanning Room. |
10 |
| 18 | 152 |
"And had he not entered the room?" I asked. |
10 |

I left the bars and led the two Muls to the far side of the room. |

10 |
| 27 | 289 |
This message was echoed by every translator in the room and a thousand times again and again as the Priest-Kings repeated it in disbelief to one another. |
10 |
| 27 | 313 |
At the low volume I received the message the other translators in the room would not be likely to pick it up and transduce the sounds into odor-signals. |

Parp wheeled the platform on which I lay from the room. |

10 |
| 30 | 165 |
I learned from conversation in the headquarters room that not many of the humans who fought with Misk's forces had responded to the blandishments of Sarm, though some, like Vika of Treve, had deserted to cast their fortune with what appeared to be the winning side. |
10 |
| 30 | 174 |
Sarm, who was normally in the room, seemed to take great pleasure in Vika's baiting me, for he would stand by, antennae curling, as she would insult me, taunt me, sometimes strike me with her small fist. |
10 |
| 31 | 93 |
"It is similar to that of the others," I said, and swept her from her feet and carried her, Robes of Concealment swirling, from the room. |

10 |

10 |
| 31 | 129 |
To one side, though I scarcely noticed it at the time, I saw a vague, domelike golden shape, one of the Beetles which, undoubtedly confused and terrified, had crept into the room of the Power Plant from the tunnel outside, through the door I had opened for Misk and his Priest-Kings. |
10 |

To do more damage he would now have to descend the walkway and reach the paneling itself, perhaps that on the other side of the room, but to do this he would have to pass me, and I was determined that I should not, if possible, allow that to happen. |
10 |

The light in the room came, interestingly, from behind a translucent blue ceiling, probably being furnished by energy bulbs. |
10 |
| 17 | 13 |
I was puzzled by the manner in which the heat and humidity were introduced to the room, for I saw no vents nor cauldrons of boiling water, or devices for releasing drops of water on heated plates or stones. |
10 |
| 17 | 14 |
I had been in the room for perhaps three or four minutes before I realized that the steam rose from the pool itself. |
10 |
| 17 | 40 |
Ha-Keel nodded curtly and turned abruptly and angrily strode from the room. |
10 |
| 17 | 49 |
Two of the men-at-arms left the room. |
10 |
| 17 | 58 |
It was, like the curving wall of the room, decorated in exotic floral patterns. |
10 |
| 18 | 98 |
I spun to face the Paravaci but he, weaponless, with a curse, turned and fled from the room. |
10 |
| 19 | 81 |
Several times, one girl or another would roll over or shift in her sleep, or throw out an arm, and my heart would nearly stop, but none of the wenches awakened and we would troop on to the next room. |
10 |
| 19 | 82 |
At last we came to a largish room, but much smaller than the main hall, in which there were some seventeen beauties strewn about, all in Pleasure Silk. |
10 |
| 19 | 83 |
The light in the room was furnished by a single tharlarion-oil lamp which hung from the ceiling. |
10 |
| 19 | 85 |
There was no fountain in the room but, against one wall, there were some low tables with fruits and drinks upon them. |
10 |
| 19 | 102 |
Harold tossed the emptied, collapsed shell of the larma fruit into a corner of the room and whipped one of the scarves from his belt. |
10 |
| 20 | 79 |
The room in which I found myself contained an unconscious guard, but no further sign of Harold or Hereena. |
10 |
| 21 | 122 |
"I have very little," I said, taking the pouch and spilling the stones in a glittering if not very valuable heap on the small table in her central room. |
10 |
| 22 | 103 |
Directed by Tuchuks we soon made our way to the throne room of Phanius Turmus, where, to my surprise, a banquet was in progress. |
10 |
| 22 | 104 |
At one end of the room, on the throne of the Ubar, a purple robe thrown over his black leather, sat dour Kamchak of the Tuchuks, his shield and lance leaning against the throne, an unsheathed quiva on the right arm of the throne. |
10 |
| 22 | 140 |
At one point three Tuchuk girls, in swirling silks, switches in their hands, came into the room dragging a wretched, stripped Turian girl. |
10 |
| 22 | 157 |
The guests and the captives, led by those who would claim them, faded from the room. |
10 |
| 22 | 159 |
Only he, Harold and I remained in the great throne room. |
10 |
| 24 | 44 |
I nodded curtly and turned and left the room, dismissed. |
10 |
| 24 | 173 |
His kaiila sprang from the room, bounding across the carpet in the next hall, and then thudding down a corridor toward the main entrance. |
10 |
| 25 | 413 |
I stood up and threw the wine bowl to the side of the room. |
10 |
| 26 | 134 |
He dismounted and picked up a lounging garment from the vast sleeping platform in the room, holding it to the noses of the two sleen. |
10 |
| 26 | 153 |
At last we emerged into a large audience room, with a domed ceiling, heavily carpeted and hung with tapestries. |
10 |
| 26 | 154 |
I recognized it immediately, for it was the room in which Harold and I had been brought prisoner before Saphrar of Turia. |
10 |
| 26 | 155 |
In the room there were four persons. |
10 |
| 26 | 270 |
The Paravaci's eyes were white in the black hood and his head turned wildly to regard the Tuchuks clustered in the far end of the room. |
10 |
| 26 | 278 |
The Paravaci suddenly cried out in uncanny fear and shuddered and, to my horror, the golden sphere, which he had succeeded in wresting from Saphrar, was thrown a dozen feet across the room, and shattered on the floor. |
10 |
| 26 | 304 |
I heard the chains loosened and the two sleen bounded from the room, eyes blazing. |
10 |
| 26 | 339 |
Then, saying no more, Kamchak, the rest of us following, left the room, guiding ourselves by the distant, frustrated howls of disappointed sleen. |
10 |
| 26 | 379 |
"Kutaituchik is avenged," said Kamchak, and turned from the room. |
10 |
| 27 | 57 |
"Kamchak," they cried, "Ubar San!" The cry was taken up by all in the room, even myself. |
10 |
| 27 | 58 |
"Kamchak, Ubar San!" Kamchak held forth his hands and the room was quiet. |
10 |
| 27 | 137 |
Kamchak looked across the room to me. |
10 |
| 27 | 150 |
As he turned to leave the throne room of Phanius Turmus, to return to the wagons, Aphris lightly rose to her feet to accompany him. |
10 |
| 27 | 173 |
Then, not pressing the animal, he took his way from the throne room. |

Scarcely a quarter of an Ahn had passed and the men who drank in that room had forgotten, as is the way of men, that a dark one sat with them in that room, one who wore the black tunic of the Caste of Assassins, who silently drank with them. |
10 |
| 4 | 18 |
It reminded me, in its way, of a room in a prison and such, in its way, it was, for it was a room in the House of Cernus, greatest of the slave houses of Ar. |
10 |
| 5 | 9 |
The disadvantage of such a door, naturally, is that when no one is in the room and the latch string is out, anyone might enter, and either search the room or wait within. |
10 |
| 15 | 133 |
The training room was floored with wood, laid diagonally across beams for additional strength; one twelve-foot area of the room was a shallow pit of sand; against one wall were various chests of raiment, cosmetics and retention devices, for girls must be trained to wear chains gracefully; certain da... |
10 |
| 17 | 573 |
I threw them with the key to one side of the room; then I unlocked the slave leash and threw it, with its key, also to the side of the room. |
10 |
| 18 | 327 |
I could see the bread ovens in one wall; the long fire pit over which could be put cooking racks, the mountings for spits and kettle hooks; the fire pit was mostly black now, but, here and there, I could see a few broken sticks of glowing charcoal; aside from this, the light in the room came from on... |

It allows a great deal of mobility and, on the level of squad tactics, has its affinity to the Torian Squares; the space allows the swordsmen, of course, room in which to handle their weapons, room in which to properly attack or defend themselves; in this case I expected the center man to engage me,... |
10 |
| 2 | 42 |
The Assassin caught the key and taking the girl by the arm led her to a dark wall, in a low-ceilinged corner of the sloping room. |
10 |
| 2 | 59 |
Then, with a furtive glance at the girl chained at the side of the room, the serving slave hurried away. |
10 |
| 2 | 88 |
Then, a moment later, four men, armed, brawny men, with a streamer of blue and yellow silk sewn diagonally into their garments, burst through the door and entered the room. |
10 |
| 2 | 90 |
The men began to hunt about the room, angrily. |
10 |
| 2 | 147 |
The first Warrior lunged toward the Assassin but in the darkness of the side of the room, in the dim light of the tharlarion lamps, it was difficult to tell what happened. |
10 |
| 2 | 149 |
Then the dark shape of the Assassin seemed to move like a swift shadow in the room, and each of the three Warriors leaped toward him, but seemed to fail to find him, and another man, without even the flash of sword steel, dropped to his knees and fell forward in the pit of sand; the other two men st... |

Hup seized up the coin of gold and scrambled from the room, like an urt running through the open gate of a trap. |
10 |
| 2 | 322 |
He rose unsteadily to his feet, and staggered backwards, shaking his head, turned, and stumbled over one of the low tables, and fled from the room. |
10 |
| 2 | 323 |
His drink finished Kuurus rose and went to the darkened corner of the room, where the wall sloped down. |
10 |
| 2 | 329 |
Kuurus threw the silk and chain over his shoulder and motioned the girl to move ahead of him and, numbly, she did so, crossing the room, going between the tables, and stopping before the narrow ladder at the right side of the high wall, in which were found the ledges with their alcoves. |
10 |
| 4 | 12 |
The room in which I stood was the Hall of the House of Cernus. |
10 |
| 4 | 13 |
It was a large room, some seventy feet square and with a ceiling of some fifty feet in height. |
10 |
| 4 | 15 |
The room was innocent of the energy bulbs of the Caste of Builders. |
10 |
| 4 | 17 |
The room was lit, and grayly, by sunlight now filtering in through several narrow, barred windows set very high in the thick stone of the walls. |
10 |
| 4 | 56 |
Two of his men rushed from the room. |
10 |
| 4 | 144 |
From a side entrance to the hall, where she had been kept, Elizabeth Cardwell, Vella, was thrust into the room. |
10 |
| 5 | 4 |
"And poor Vella, who must keep the quarters of the Assassin! Poor, poor Vella!" "Do not laugh so loudly," I cautioned her, smiling, while moving about the room. |
10 |
| 5 | 8 |
I reminded myself to remember and put the latch string through when I left the room. |
10 |
| 5 | 10 |
Valuables, in such a room, are kept in a heavy, iron-banded chest which is bolted to the wall and kept locked. |
10 |
| 5 | 38 |
I was not altogether without an expedient, however, as, upon examination, I discovered that the door had, as well as the latch string hole, another small hole bored below the latch bar, doubtless put there by someone who had used the room before myself. |
10 |
| 5 | 42 |
I sprang to my feet and looked about the room. |
10 |
| 5 | 43 |
There were several chests in the room, including the iron-banded one with its heavy lock. |
10 |
| 5 | 89 |
"And in so doing," I laughed, "informed the entire world that the room, or whatever it was, had been entered". |
10 |
| 5 | 128 |
At this I swept her from her feet and carried her to the broad stone couch in the room, where I placed her on the piles of furs that bedecked it. |
10 |
| 5 | 290 |
We left Elizabeth in the room and went to eat. |
10 |
| 5 | 648 |
"Well, Kuurus," said she, from the side of the room, "it seems you have tied my knot correctly, though perhaps somewhat more clumsily than I would have done". |
10 |
| 5 | 744 |
Ho-Tu glanced into the room, saw Elizabeth and smiled, a slaver's smile. |
10 |
| 8 | 46 |
I kicked the love furs halfway across the room and sat down on the edge of the stone couch. |
10 |
| 8 | 71 |
She knelt down in the room, as naturally and easily as a Gorean girl. |
10 |
| 8 | 107 |
Elizabeth led me to a room off a kitchen on the third floor of the cylinder. |
10 |
| 8 | 108 |
There were some men in the room, mostly men-at-arms but some staff members, a Metal Worker, two Bakers and a pair of Scribes. |
10 |
| 8 | 132 |
I shared the breakfast with Elizabeth, who informed me that it was better than the porridge below in the trough in the feeding room for female staff slaves, marvelous though the latter might have been. |
10 |
| 8 | 146 |
Elizabeth had gathered up the love furs which I had kicked across the room and had spread them at the foot of the couch. |
10 |
| 9 | 31 |
Then, stripped, chained by the throat, in a long chain of girls, each separated from the other by about ten feet, secured not even by the dignity of a collar but only by a loop of the communal chain bolted or padlocked about her neck, each is dragged up the steps of the minor block, bid upon while a... |
10 |
| 9 | 35 |
The tiers in the room were of marble. |
10 |
| 9 | 36 |
The room itself was draped in rich purple. |
10 |
| 9 | 44 |
Who knows what women, freshly branded, hooded and braceleted, chained in the slave wagons, pass to and from Ar? Passing down a corridor, trailing after Ho-Tu, we stopped briefly to peer into a large room. |
10 |
| 9 | 45 |
In this room I saw two slave girls, clad in yellow livery with yellow collars, as Elizabeth normally was, kneeling opposite one another. |
10 |
| 9 | 48 |
Elsewhere in the room there were some free men, Scribes I gathered though they were stripped to the waist, who were inking, using a silk-screen process, large sheets of layered, glued rag paper. |
10 |
| 10 | 4 |
"This is an interesting room," said Ho-Tu, opening a door and leading me through. |
10 |
| 10 | 10 |
In the room, which now had no occupant, I saw an open wardrobe closet, some chests of silks, a silken divan of immense size, several choice rugs and cushions about, and a sunken bath to one side. |
10 |
| 10 | 13 |
"Sometimes," he added, "Cernus amuses himself with the women kept in this room, leading them to believe that if they serve him well they will be well treated". |
10 |
| 10 | 18 |
I looked down into the room. |
10 |
| 11 | 31 |
I followed him into a large room, barred by a heavy iron door. |
10 |
| 11 | 32 |
There was a drum fire near the center of the room on the floor. |
10 |
| 11 | 33 |
There was a littered look about the room, some pieces of chains about. |
10 |
| 11 | 34 |
Two smiths were in the room. |
10 |
| 11 | 39 |
There was also an anvil in the room, resting on a large block of wood. |
10 |
| 11 | 41 |
They reached to the ceiling of the room. |
10 |
| 11 | 42 |
Elsewhere in the room there were some slave cages, but they were now empty. |
10 |
| 11 | 409 |
We then, following Ho-Tu, retraced our steps on the iron walkway, descended the steps, and, taking our way between the metal branding rack and the glowing, perforated steel drum containing irons, left the room. |
10 |
| 12 | 304 |
Flaminius gestured that the two girls should try to rise and walk a bit about the room. |
10 |
| 12 | 305 |
Awkwardly, painfully, they did so, stumbling to the edge of the room, then leaning against the wall, taking a step at a time. |
10 |
| 12 | 366 |
"Have them sent to my training room at the sixth Ahn," she said, and turned, and walked away, the slave bells flashing on her ankle. |
10 |
| 13 | 237 |
The cot was a huge room beneath the roof of the cylinder, taking up what normally would be four floors of the cylinder. |
10 |
| 13 | 239 |
Many of the perches were empty, but there were more than a hundred birds in the room; each was now chained to its area of the perch; but each, I knew, at least once in every two days, was exercised; sometimes, when men do not wander freely in the cot, and the portals of the cot, opening to the sky, ... |
10 |
| 14 | 141 |
But this time, in that room rich with hangings, with lamps set behind ornate mesh in the ceiling, there was a prisoner. |
10 |
| 14 | 142 |
It was a strikingly, but cruelly beautiful girl, who walked from one end of the room to the other, in fury, like a young, caged she-larl. |
10 |
| 14 | 146 |
I looked into the room. |
10 |
| 14 | 156 |
Then she sobbed and ran back to the center of the room, striking again and again the divan with the chain. |
10 |
| 14 | 162 |
The girl sprang up from the divan, wiped oil from her wrists on a towel, threw back her hair, and stood regally in the center of the room. |
10 |
| 15 | 69 |
She stood there for an instant, the pastry clutched in her hands, her eyes suddenly brimming with tears, then she turned and fled from the room. |
10 |
| 15 | 132 |
Sura's training room lay directly off her private compartment, which might have been that of a free woman, save that the heavy door locked only on the outside and, at the eighteenth bar, it became her cell. |
10 |
| 15 | 134 |
To one side there was a set of mats for Musicians, who almost invariably were present at the sessions, for even the exercises of the girls, which were carefully selected and frequently performed, are done to music; against one wall were several bars, also used in exercise, not unlike a training room... |
10 |
| 15 | 136 |
One entire side of the room, the left, facing the front, was a mirror. |
10 |
| 15 | 139 |
I used it sometimes myself, but at other times, sometimes alone, sometimes with others, would enter the room and sit near the back. |
10 |
| 15 | 225 |
In the beginning, when moving about the house, the girls had been permitted only the garb customarily worn in the sweat and motion of the training, a rectangle of silk, about a foot long, thrust into a silken string knotted about the waist; Virginia and Phyllis would not even leave their cells so cl... |
10 |
| 15 | 312 |
Phyllis looked at me in fury and turned, leaving the room. |
10 |
| 15 | 318 |
I glared at Virginia, who still stood in the room. |
10 |
| 15 | 336 |
"Observe," once had said Elizabeth to me, to my amusement, in the secrecy of our compartment, "the twelfth way to enter a room". |
10 |
| 15 | 340 |
"How many ways are there," I asked, sitting cross-legged in the center of the compartment, on the stone couch, "to enter a room?" "It depends on the city," said Elizabeth. |
10 |
| 15 | 341 |
"In Ar we are the best; we have the most ways to enter a room. |
10 |
| 16 | 53 |
We met in Sura's training room and I, who was to be in charge of this expedition, given that I would let no other guard Elizabeth, was given a leather sack of silver and copper coins by Ho-Tu, for the expenses of the day. |
10 |
| 16 | 58 |
To their consternation, before being permitted to leave the training room, Virginia and Phyllis, beneath their livery, had locked on their bodies, by Sura, the iron belt. |
10 |
| 17 | 45 |
We stopped when I was pushed stumbling into a large room, in which there were numerous baskets and harnesses hanging about, apparently a storeroom of sorts in an unimportant cylinder. |
10 |
| 17 | 46 |
A wide area had been cleared in the center of the room, on which, over straw, had been spread some rep-cloth blankets. |
10 |
| 17 | 65 |
"On your knees," she said, "and serve me as a Pleasure Slave!" The girls gasped in the room. |
10 |
| 17 | 79 |
My eye strayed to a room off the storeroom, in which I could see some boxes, much dust. |
10 |
| 17 | 80 |
Then the room was very still. |
10 |
| 17 | 82 |
The other girls in the room seemed to be holding their breath. |
10 |
| 17 | 84 |
Then while the girls shrieked and the long-legged girl cried out in rage I swept her into my arms and leaped into the small room, where I dropped her to the stones and spun about, throwing the door shut and bolting it. |
10 |
| 17 | 86 |
I glanced about the room. |
10 |
| 17 | 94 |
The long-legged girl was pushed into the larger room to observe her helpless cohorts. |
10 |
| 17 | 102 |
I permitted her to go to the center of the room, where she stood, facing me, tears in her eyes, near the rep-cloth blankets spread over straw. |
10 |
| 17 | 116 |
I then took the cup from her and threw it to the side of the room, and took her into my arms, that lovely, long-legged, black-haired beast, provocative in the brevity of her slave livery, and kissed her, and well, and at length. |
10 |
| 17 | 307 |
"I hope it will be Lana who will wear the leash of Relius," she said, and then, as Virginia Kent cried out and leaped toward her, Lana turned about and sped as though for her life from the room. |
10 |
| 17 | 334 |
"Serve me wine," Ho-Sorl ordered Phyllis Robertson, though she was far across the room, and there were several girls nearer. |
10 |
| 17 | 385 |
The room was extremely silent for a moment. |
10 |
| 17 | 390 |
Once again there was an extremely still moment in the room. |
10 |
| 17 | 397 |
Then everyone in the room, amazed at the audacity of the slave girl, to so affront one of the black caste, after a moment, began to roar with amusement, even the slave girls. |
10 |
| 17 | 488 |
She threw one wild look at Relius and then, as Ho-Tu removed the slave goad from his belt, she ran weeping from the room. |
10 |
| 17 | 496 |
"To the Waiting Cells!" Virginia Kent, who had taught classics and ancient history in a college on Earth, leaped to her feet and, barefoot, a slave girl, raced from the room, hurrying to the Waiting Cells, whence at dawn, with others, she would be sent to the Curulean, where, in the evening, she wou... |
10 |
| 17 | 501 |
I looked about the room. |
10 |
| 17 | 502 |
Now only guards and members of the staff remained in the room. |
10 |
| 17 | 505 |
Suddenly two guards entered the room, thrusting a woman before them. |
10 |
| 17 | 530 |
I had not understood until then that the beautiful, proud Sura would, in order of the gambling, serve each of the men in that room. |
10 |
| 17 | 549 |
I looked at him and he stepped back, turned, and angrily left the room. |
10 |
| 17 | 561 |
I did not pick up the leash and she moved past me, tears in her eyes, leaving the room, the sound of bells marking her movements. |
10 |
| 17 | 571 |
Sura preceded me through the halls of the House of Cernus, and then we passed through her training room, and entered her own quarters where we stopped. |
10 |
| 17 | 572 |
As she stood in the room I took the key on its string from about her neck and removed the bracelets. |
10 |
| 17 | 578 |
I turned about to examine the room. |
10 |
| 17 | 584 |
I turned away again, wondering if there might be some Ka-la-na or perhaps even paga, though I doubted the latter, hidden away in the room. |
10 |
| 17 | 607 |
I hurled her some feet across the room and retrieved the goad; it had stopped rolling and now, burning, had begun to sink through the stone. |
10 |
| 17 | 636 |
I turned about and went back to the center of the room, where I sat down cross-legged. |
10 |
| 17 | 700 |
I looked about the room. |
10 |
| 17 | 709 |
"Your room," I said, "seems to offer little in the way of diversions". |
10 |
| 18 | 150 |
Then he rose in his green quarters tunic and went to a chest in his room, from which he drew forth a large bottle of paga. |
10 |
| 18 | 319 |
"There, Master!" said she, pointing to a basket of bottles under the large cutting table in the center of the room. |
10 |
| 18 | 324 |
Two large wine jugs stood in one corner of the room. |
10 |
| 18 | 412 |
I rose and found a torch rack in the room and set the torch in the rack. |
10 |
| 18 | 470 |
The men stepped within the room. |
10 |
| 19 | 207 |
Suddenly the lights of the amphitheater went out, plunging that great, crowded room into darkness. |
10 |
| 19 | 390 |
Imagine her, noble men of Ar, chained to your slave ring! She alone is worth five hundred pieces of gold!" The crowd roared its approval and the auctioneer dropped his hand and stepped back, perhaps as surprised as any in that room. |
10 |
| 20 | 9 |
Hooded, stripped to the waist, chained, I had been beaten from one end of the room to the other with sticks. |
10 |
| 20 | 50 |
I doubted that she had been before in that room. |
10 |
| 20 | 112 |
The room roared with laughter. |
10 |
| 20 | 117 |
"Bring the pot wench," said Cernus to a subordinate and the man, grinning, sped from the room. |
10 |
| 20 | 132 |
When the girl entered the room Claudia was turned by her guards, still on her knees, bound, to face her. |
10 |
| 20 | 169 |
"Noble girl!" I called after Melanie, as she left the room. |
10 |
| 20 | 170 |
She turned and smiled, and then, with Claudia Tentia Hinrabia, and their guard, left the room. |
10 |
| 20 | 177 |
Philemon left the room. |
10 |
| 20 | 287 |
The others, too, in the room laughed. |
10 |
| 20 | 319 |
Hup was rolling in a corner of the room, rolling to the wall, then back, then rolling to it again. |
10 |
| 20 | 357 |
Those in the room laughed, with the exception of Relius, Ho-Sorl, the young boy, and myself, and Sura. |
10 |
| 20 | 365 |
And the others, too, those with Cernus, laughed, until the room roared with their mirth. |
10 |
| 20 | 368 |
"It is he!" And in that instant the recognition came to me so suddenly and powerfully that the room seemed black for a moment and I could not breathe. |
10 |
| 20 | 385 |
She screamed and fled and Hup stopped and turned around several times rapidly in the center of the room until, dizzy, he fell down on his seat and wept. |
