19	439	"Does Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar, mistress and jewel of gleaming Thassa, now care to express interest?" "He does," said Samos, dispassionately.	10
19	323	"Is not Samos," he asked, "First Slaver of Port Kar with us this evening?" All eyes turned to one of the boxes near the front of the block.	10
19	328	"Surely Samos of Port Kar, First Slaver of Gor's Tatrix of the Sea, noble Port Kar, cares to express interest in these unworthy wenches?" There was silence.	10
19	329	"Show me the women," said Samos.	10
19	331	The auctioneer bowed low to Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar.	10
19	335	When the tumult subsided, the voice of Samos was heard again.	10
19	344	Again the auctioneer looked to the box of Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar.	10
19	345	"Does noble Samos now care to express interest?" inquired the auctioneer.	10
19	346	"Let them perform," said Samos.	10
19	347	Again the auctioneer bowed to Samos.	10
19	350	"No," said Samos.	10
19	361	The auctioneer turned then to the box of Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar.	10
19	362	"Does noble Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar, jewel and mistress of the sea, not care to express interest in these unworthy wenches? Would they not cheer the heart of a seaman returned from long at sea?" There was laughter from the crowd.	10
19	364	But Samos did not speak.	10
19	372	"I do not choose now to bid," said Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar.	10
19	437	"I will close my fist!" "Do not close your fist," said Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar.	10
19	441	"It is bid," said the man, "by Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar, for the wenches now on the block three thousand pieces of gold".	10
19	447	Doubtless Elizabeth thought Samos the agent of Priest-Kings, sent to purchase them and carry them to safety and freedom.	10
19	475	"Before she is delivered to Samos," Cernus was saying, "I think I will have her returned to the house and use her.	10
19	477	Since she is Red Silk Samos will not object".	10
20	555	"Deliver this wench to the compound of Samos of Port Kar!" he screamed.	10
24	300	"But Samos of Port Kar," I stammered, "he purchased the girls".	10
24	302	"Samos of Port Kar is an agent of Priest-Kings, their agent in Port Kar".	10

11	305	"Earlier today," I asked, "did noble Samos send word to me that he wished to speak with me?" Samos looked at me.	10
11	493	If he had known this, I asked myself, why had he not spoken before? "Perhaps," I asked, "Samos will propose that we now withdraw our patrols from Thassa?" Samos looked at me, and the look was as cold and hard as Gorean steel.	10
18	552	Samos survived, and I, and the boy, Fish, and the three girls, and, beyond these, other than the dancer, Sandra, who had remained below, only five men, three who had come to my holding with Samos, and two of my own, one a simple mercenary, one who had once been a slave.	10
18	831	"Why!" "Samos," said I, "was it from you that the message came, months ago, which I received in the Council of Captains, seeking to speak with me?" "Yes," said Samos.	10
1	64	I knew one in Port Kar, by name Samos, a slaver, said to be an agent of Priest-Kings.	10
1	66	I recalled Samos, slumped in his marble chair at the Curulean in Ar, seemingly indolent, but indolent as might be the satisfied beast of prey.	10
3	35	Coming from the Sardar, I knew only that I was to travel to Port Kar and there make contact with Samos, first slaver of Port Kar, scourge of Thassa, said to be trusted of Priest-Kings.	10
9	102	Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar, said to be an agent of Priest-Kings, was, I knew, a member of this council.	10
10	70	I had seen Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar, only once at the meeting of the council.	10
10	321	It was signed, also in block printing, Samos.	10
10	328	I did not know if the message truly came from Samos, or not.	10
11	267	If a larl might have been transformed into a man and yet retain its instincts, its heart and its cunning, I think it might look much like Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar.	10
11	268	"Greetings, noble Samos," I said.	10
11	272	Samos looked about, gazing on the various racks, to many of which there were still fastened prisoners.	10
11	282	"Would you," asked Samos, "reveal your plans to such as these?" "No," I said.	10
11	291	"I am," said Samos, of Port Kar.	10
11	293	Then Samos addressed himself to the Scribe near the rack.	10
11	298	"Our round ships," said Samos, "require oarsmen".	10
11	301	"Noble Samos," I said.	10
11	308	Then Samos, who was senior captain of the Council of Captains of Port Kar, turned and left.	10
11	309	"Samos," said one of the scribes nearby, "only made landfall in Port Kar this night, at the eighteenth hour, from Scagnar".	10
11	318	"And so," concluded Lysias, "I bring you all amnesty in the name of the Ubar of Port Kar, Henrius Sevarius!" "Henrius Sevarius, the Captain," said Samos, speaking from his curule chair, in the name of the council, "is most kind".	10
11	320	"Henrius Sevarius, the Captain," said Samos, in measured words, "may, however, find that the council is less inclined to lenience than he".	10
11	326	"How many ships has he?" asked Samos.	10
11	328	"The captains of the council," said Samos, dryly, "have some one thousand ships pledged to their personal service.	10
11	330	Lysias stood scowling before Samos, his helmet in the crook of his arm, his long cloak falling behind him.	10
11	331	"The council commands," summarized Samos, "some two thousand ships".	10
11	333	"Perhaps," asked Samos, "you refer to those of Chung, and Eteocles, and Nigel and Sullius Maximus?" There was unpleasant laughter in the council.	10
11	335	"I refer to the ships of the minor captains, in the number of better than twenty-five hundred!" "In the streets," said Samos, "I have heard the cry 'Power to the council!'" "Proclaim Henrius Sevarius sole Ubar," said Lysias numbly, "and your lives will be spared, and you will be granted amnesty".	10
11	336	"That is your proposal?" asked Samos.	10
11	338	"Now hear," said Samos, "the proposal of the council, that Henrius Sevarius and his regent, Claudius, lay down their arms, and divest themselves of all ships, and men and holdings, and all properties and assets, and present themselves, stripped and in the chains of slaves, before the council, that i...	10
11	339	Lysias, his body rigid with fury, his hand on the hilt of his sword, stood not speaking before Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar.	10
11	340	"Perhaps," said Samos, "their lives may be spared, that they may take their seat on the benches of the public round ships".	10
11	344	"It is yours," said Samos.	10
11	346	"Conduct Lysias, Captain, to the holdings of Henrius Sevarius," said Samos.	10
11	347	"Yes, Noble Samos," said the boy.	10
11	349	Samos rose before his curule chair.	10
11	352	When the tumult had subsided, Samos faced the four thrones of the Ubars.	10
11	354	"Glorious Captains," said Samos.	10
11	356	"Ubars," said Samos, bowing his head with a smile.	10
11	358	"Be it known to you, Ubars," said he, "that Samos, First Slaver of Port Kar, now proposes to the council that it take into its own hands the full and sole governance of the city of Port Kar, with full powers, whether of policy and decree, of enforcement, of taxation and law, or other, pertinent to t...	10
11	361	"Power to the council," said Samos, bowing his head.	10
11	365	"Further," said Samos, "I propose that the council decree that all bonds among clients and patrons in Port Kar be now dissolved, to be reestablished only on the basis of mutual consent and explicit contract on the part of the parties involved, which documents, in copy, are to be placed with the coun...	10
11	366	Sullius Maximus shook his fist at Samos.	10
11	368	"Further," said Samos, "let the council decree that any who fail to abide by the resolutions of the council, or act against it, be regarded, at the council's convenience, subject to her pleasure".	10
11	372	"I now ask the table scribe," said Samos, "to call the roll of captains".	10
11	378	Slowly Samos drew his own weapon and placed it across his knees.	10
11	380	And almost every one of the captains in that council drew their weapon, as had Samos, and placed it across their knees.	10
11	393	"Bejar accepts the proposals of Samos," said a captain, a dark-skinned man with long, straight hair, who sat in the second row, some two chairs below me and to the right.	10
11	396	Samos, and many of the others, looked at me, quickly.	10
11	398	I saw no reason, at the moment, to commit myself to the programs of Samos and the council.	10
11	404	As I thought it would, the group of proposals set before the council by Samos passed overwhelmingly.	10
11	419	I had taken the note which I had received the preceding afternoon from my wallet, that which had purported to be from Samos, which he had denied sending.	10
11	422	"I suspect," Samos was saying, "that Cos and Tyros are implicated in the attempted coup of the House of Sevarius".	10
11	427	"Myself," Samos went on, "I am weary of war with Cos and Tyros".	10
11	429	"Now that the council is sovereign in Port Kar," Samos said, his fist clenched on the arm of his curule chair, "might not peace be possible?" This puzzled me.	10
11	432	I did not expect these remarks from Samos.	10
11	434	"As you know," said Samos, speaking evenly, "Port Kar is not the most loved, nor the most greatly respected nor highest honored among the cities of Gor".	10
11	440	"Consider our trade," said Samos.	10
11	445	He said simply, answering the question of Samos, "It would".	10
11	447	And I think there were none then in that room who did not hold his breath for that moment, to hear the words of Samos.	10
11	448	"It is my proposal," said Samos, "that the council approach Cos and Tyros, offering terms of peace".	10
11	450	"No!" When the tumult had subsided, Samos spoke, softly.	10
11	451	"Of course," said Samos, "our terms will be rejected".	10
11	454	Samos was indeed a shrewd man.	10
11	460	And who knew what trading ships might make their way to Port Kar, if they thought her a fair and honest city? The estimate of Samos, that such a gesture on Port Kar's part might eventually result in a trebling of her trade, seemed to me possibly conservative.	10
11	461	"What if the offer of peace is accepted?" I asked Samos.	10
11	464	But most looked then to Samos.	10
11	465	"I do not think it likely," said Samos, smiling.	10
11	467	"But," I asked, "if it is?" Samos scowled, and then his clear gray eyes met mine, but without emotion.	10
11	471	"And," I asked, "do we abide by their acceptance? Would there then be truly peace between Port Kar, and Cos and Tyros?" "That," smiled Samos, "may always be taken under consideration at a future meeting of the council".	10
11	473	"The time is opportune," said Samos, "to offer peace to Cos and Tyros.	10
11	481	"Perhaps," said Samos, "members of a mission of peace might learn such matters".	10
11	483	"What of your spies," I asked, "who seem so well informed? Surely, if they can learn the itineraries of the Ubar of Tyros, it must be difficult to conceal from them a gathering of the fleets of two such powers as Cos and Tyros?" The hand of Samos went instinctively to the hilt of his weapon, but the...	10
11	485	"More quickly than you choose to answer, it seems, noble Samos," said I.	10
11	486	I wondered what the interests of Samos in Cos and Tyros might be.	10
11	487	Samos spoke slowly.	10
11	492	"No," said Samos, shaking his head, "they have not yet gathered".	10
11	500	It seems not unlikely to me that these two powers may well be weary of war, as Samos informs us he is.	10
11	504	I regarded Samos.	10
11	506	Samos looked at me strangely.	10
11	510	"Bosk," said Samos to the group, "speaks well the advantages of peace.	10
11	514	"If peace was made," challenged Samos, "which of you would not keep it?" He looked from man to man.	10
11	517	Somehow, suddenly, I believed Samos.	10
11	522	I regarded Samos, wondering of him.	10
11	525	"Of course," said Samos, "the offer of peace will be rejected".	10
11	528	"We will need one to carry the offer of peace to Cos, where he may now find joint audience with the Ubars of both Cos and Tyros," said Samos.	10
11	530	"It should be one," Samos was saying, "who has the rank of captain, and who is a member of the council itself, that the authenticity of the offer shall thus be made manifest".	10
11	532	"Further," said Samos, "it should be one who has proved that he can take action, and who has in the past well served the council".	10
11	537	"And," Samos was saying, "it must be one who is not afraid to speak, one who is a worthy representative of the council".	10
11	538	I wondered if Samos himself might be tired.	10
11	540	"And," Samos went on, "it should preferably be one who is not well known to Cos and Tyros, one who has not angered them, nor proven himself to them a blood enemy upon gleaming Thassa".	10
11	543	Samos was no fool.	10
11	546	"And such a one," said Samos, "is Bosk—he who came from the marshes.	10
11	560	"I am, of course, highly honored," I began, "that noble Samos should think of me, that he should nominate me, doubtless the lowliest of the captains here assembled, for a post of such distinction, that of bearing the peace of Port Kar to her hereditary enemies Cos and Tyros".	10
11	562	"Then you decline?" asked Samos.	10
11	565	"Samos," I said.	10
11	567	"I am grateful for your nomination," said Samos, "but I scarcely think, in these troubled times, it behooves he who is senior captain of the council to leave the city, voyaging abroad in search of peace when war itself looms at home".	10
11	569	"Then you decline?" I asked Samos.	10
11	570	"Yes," said Samos, "I decline".	10
11	573	"Antisthenes is wise," I said, "and understands the risks involved, but many of the words Samos has addressed to us seem to me sound and true, and chief among them his assertion that it should be a captain who conducts this mission, for how else could we so easily prove the seriousness of our intent...	10
11	576	"Did you not decline?" asked Samos.	10
11	579	"What is your price?" asked Samos.	10
11	582	"It will be yours," said Samos.	10
11	585	"He will have, of course," said Samos, "the immunity of the herald".	10
11	598	"Which ships," asked Samos, "are returned to the arsenal upon the completion of your mission?" "Of course," I said.	10
11	599	"You shall have them," said Samos.	10
11	601	I asked myself if Samos thought he was so easily rid of me, one who might challenge him, senior captain, in the council of the captains of Port Kar.	10
13	168	I had expected it to be Samos.	10
16	353	Samos was there, and I saw that short-cropped white hair buried in his rough hands, his elbows on his knees.	10
16	355	One of them stopped beside Samos.	10
16	358	Samos shook him away.	10
16	377	Samos lifted his head and regarded me.	10
16	384	Samos lifted his hand.	10
16	394	Samos threw back his head and roared with laughter, pounding the arms of his curule chair.	10
16	396	"There is no Home Stone in Port Kar!" laughed Samos.	10
16	403	Samos, with a gesture, silenced the scribe.	10
16	404	"Who are you?" asked Samos.	10
16	409	"There is no Home Stone of Port Kar, Boy," said Samos.	10
16	416	Then Samos said, "Port Kar has no Home Stone".	10
16	432	"I see," said Samos, standing near to me, his voice indistinct in the wild cries of the crowd, "that there is indeed a Home Stone in Port Kar".	10
16	438	Samos smiled.	10
16	443	"Yes, Captain," said Samos, "I think that you are right".	10
18	223	To my fury I saw that these men were led by Samos of Port Kar.	10
18	230	Samos and I, together, dropped the last beam into the heavy iron brackets.	10
18	240	"So here you are," said Samos.	10
18	276	* * * * The next afternoon Samos and I stood together behind the parapet of the keep.	10
18	285	Now, only Samos and I stood watch.	10
18	286	Before my return to the holding, Samos, with his men and mine, had withstood eleven assaults on the keep, both by tarnsmen and besieging infantry.	10
18	288	We now had left only thirty-five men, eighteen who had accompanied Samos to my holding, and seventeen of my own.	10
18	289	"Why have you come to defend my keep, and my holding?" I asked Samos.	10
18	294	Samos shrugged.	10
18	300	They, like Samos and myself, were almost overcome with weariness.	10
18	310	And so Samos, and I, kept watch.	10
18	314	This holding was mine, mine! "You are weary," said Samos.	10
18	318	There was no longer any point, nor time, to distrust Samos.	10
18	333	Several of them, men of Samos, were unknown to me, but others, mine, I had cared for.	10
18	381	"That Samos should be here," said she.	10
18	386	"I was taken slave at the age of seven in a raid," she said, "and Samos, at a market, bought me.	10
18	393	"I was raised in that house," she said, "with love, though I was only slave, and Samos was to me almost as a father might have been.	10
18	401	"I expected to be freed, and to be adopted as the daughter of Samos".	10
18	414	For days, though the other girls would beat me for it, I begged the Slave Master, the guards, to be taken before Samos.	10
18	422	"Did Samos himself use you?" I asked.	10
18	429	"In me," said she, "a great hatred grew, of Port Kar and of Samos and of men, and of slaves, of whom I was one.	10
18	455	"Do you still hate Samos so?" I asked.	10
18	527	I heard the ringing of the steel of Samos, the cries of the men behind me.	10
18	548	Samos thrust his blade into the Y-shaped opening of a helmet, parried a spear thrust from his body, and met the steel of another man.	10
18	551	"The next attack," said Samos, indifferently, "will be the last".	10
18	556	I went to Samos.	10
18	579	"I think," said Samos, looking over the parapet, "you will not have time for that".	10
18	602	"Stay down!" cried Samos.	10
18	633	"Look!" cried Samos.	10
18	640	"A seaman truly worthy of Port Kar," said Samos.	10
18	642	Samos smiled.	10
18	651	Fish and Samos were not far behind me.	10
18	664	Samos and I, and Fish, and Thurnock, Clitus and Ho-Hak, and others, went within the holding.	10
18	676	"The Council of Captains of Port Kar," said Samos, "has business with you".	10
18	680	"You!" Samos looked at the boy, curiously.	10
18	695	"Remarkable," said Samos.	10
18	732	"Well," said Samos, chewing on a vulo wing, "I am glad there are still some women slave in Port Kar.	10
18	777	Samos put down a cup of paga.	10
18	785	"Then," said Samos, "it seems that the Home Stone of Port Kar is secure".	10
18	811	Now only Telima, and I and Samos, remained at the table, alone in the great hall.	10
18	812	"It must be nearly morning," said Samos.	10
18	814	"Bring cloaks," said Samos, "and let us climb to the height of the keep".	10
18	815	We found cloaks, I that of the admiral, and we followed Samos from the room, across the tiled yard behind the great hall, and into the now-opened keep, and climbed behind him to its height.	10
18	822	Telima looked at Samos.	10
18	824	"Yes," said Samos, "and you were permitted to take the golden armlet, that Ho-Hak, with his men, would recognize you in the marshes".	10
18	826	"They were waiting for you," said Samos.	10
18	828	"I bought you when you were a girl," said Samos, "with these things in mind".	10
18	829	"You raised me as your daughter," she said, "and then, when I became seventeen—" "Yes," said Samos, "you were treated with great cruelty as a slave girl, and then, years later, permitted to escape".	10
18	839	"True," said Samos.	10
18	842	"You were not ready," said Samos.	10
18	845	"Yes," said Samos.	10
18	846	"And it was for this reason, to protect me, one who once had served them as well, that you came to my holding?" "Yes," said Samos, "but also because you had done much for my city, Port Kar.	10
18	849	Samos was the predator, the cruel, insensitive larl of a man, the hunter, the killer.	10
18	853	Samos, on the height of the keep, regarded me.	10
18	858	"All men," said Samos, "and all women, have within themselves despicable elements, cruel things and cowardly things, things vicious, and greedy and selfish, things ugly that we hide from others, and most of all from ourselves".	10
18	860	Samos put, not without tenderness, a hand on the shoulder of Telima, and another on my own shoulder.	10
18	866	"No," said Samos.	10
18	868	"Not to his knowledge," said Samos.	10
18	877	"Yes," said Samos.	10
18	879	"It was a risk I took," said Samos.	10
18	883	"Did Misk," I asked, "the Priest-King, know of any of this?" "No," said Samos.	10
18	889	"Do not speak now, Collared Female," said Samos.	10
18	892	Samos had spoken gently, but he was a slaver.	10
18	893	"We anticipated," said Samos, "that your humanity would assert itself, that faced with a meaningless, ignominious death in the marshes, you would grovel and whine for your life".	10
18	896	"You chose," said Samos, "as warriors have it, ignominious bondage over the freedom of honorable death".	10
18	900	"You found your humanity," said Samos.	10
18	902	"It is only in such moments," said Samos, "that a man sometimes learns that all truth and all reality is not written in one's own codes".	10
18	907	"You prepared me well, Samos," she said.	10
18	909	"No," I said, "Samos, I cannot again serve Priest-Kings.	10
18	915	"Do you think," asked Samos of Telima, "that this man has been destroyed? That he has lost himself?" "No," said the girl, "my Ubar has not been destroyed.	10
18	918	"I have done cruel and despicable things," I told Samos.	10
18	919	"So have we, or would we, or might we all," smiled Samos.	10
18	921	Samos looked on her, kindly.	10
18	925	"Neither of you," said Samos, "have been lost, or destroyed".	10
18	929	"In fighting the Others," said Samos, "one cannot be human enough".	10
18	933	"There was only one last obstacle," said Samos, "and neither of you, even now, fully understand it".	10
18	940	Samos now spoke softly.	10
18	948	"To be prepared for a task," said Samos.	10
18	950	"Since you no longer serve Priest-Kings," said Samos, "there is no point in speaking of it".	10
18	952	"A ship must be built," said Samos.	10
18	957	Samos, of course, knew as well as I the limitations of the first knowledge.	10
18	960	Telima, too, of course, having been educated through the second knowledge in the house of Samos, knew that "world's end" was, to the educated Gorean, a figurative expression.	10
18	965	"Tersites," said Samos.	10
18	967	"He is a genius," said Samos.	10
18	969	"Very well," said Samos.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
17	278	I was sold, for fifteen pieces of gold, to the house of Samos, a slaver of Port Kar.	10
17	279	Samos himself was abroad upon Thassa, in ventures of piracy and enslavement, and it was through a subordinate that I was purchased.	10
17	280	Tellius, the kitchen master of the house of Bosk, drunken, in a dicing match, in a paga tavern of Port Kar, had learned that there was an interesting girl, newly brought to the house of Samos, one who had been trained in the pens of Ko-ro-ba, one who wore the brand of Treve.	10
17	284	The subordinate, though in the absence of Samos, thinking to please him, sold me to Tellius for only fifteen pieces of gold, which price he had paid.	10
17	285	I was thus, in effect, in part, a gift to the house of Bosk from the house of Samos.	10
17	286	The house of Bosk and the house of Samos, it seemed, stood on good terms, the one with the other.	10
17	287	Both Samos and Bosk, it seems, were members of the Council of Captains, the sovereign power in Port Kar.	10

1	80	"Withdraw," said Samos.	10
1	83	"Love or not," said Samos, studying the board, "he will keep her in a collar—for he is of Treve".	10
1	85	And, indeed, I had little doubt that what Samos had said was true.	10
1	87	"It is said that those of Treve are worthy enemies," said Samos.	10
1	91	"Of course," said Samos.	10

1	102	"You have no obligation," said Samos, "to seek the girl Talena".	10
1	108	"Priest-Kings tore me from her," I told Samos, hard-eyed.	10
1	109	Samos did not look up from the board.	10
1	116	"You would do well to stay in Port Kar," said Samos.	10
1	118	"Do you still love her?" asked Samos, looking at me, directly.	10
1	123	How could I not love Talena, the deep, and first love, the first beautiful love of my life? "Do you love her?" asked Samos.	10
1	125	"It has been many years," said Samos.	10
1	129	"I might," said Samos, "if you could establish the pertinence of the procedure to the issues involved".	10
1	131	"It is possible," said Samos, "that it is an image you love, and not a woman, that it is not a person, but a memory".	10

1	635	"Do you surmise, Samos," I asked, "that the beast killed for hunger?" "Speak," said Samos to the rencer.	10
1	103	And then he had ventured to the delta of the Vosk, to make his way through it, to make contact with Samos of Port Kar, agent of Priest-Kings, to continue in their service.	10
1	137	Samos of Port Kar had purchased Talena, as a mere slave, from two panther girls, obtaining her with ease in this manner while I had risked my life in the forest.	10
1	221	When I had returned from the northern forests I had resolved not to look upon Talena, once daughter of Marlenus of Ar, whom Samos had purchased from panther girls.	10
1	223	"Shall I present her to you," asked Samos, "naked, and in bracelets?" "No," I had said.	10

1	232	"Strip your face, Slave," said Samos.	10
1	233	Gracefully the girl, the property of Samos, first slaver of Port Kar, removed her veil, unfastening it, dropping it about her shoulders.	10
1	241	"He is free," said Samos.	10
1	251	I saw in the eyes of Samos that I must not speak of Priest-Kings.	10
1	254	"Watch your tongue, Girl," said Samos.	10

1	303	My present master, noble Samos of Port Kar, purchased me at the shore of Thassa.	10
1	306	"You are only another slave," said Samos.	10
1	315	"Kneel to the whip," said Samos.	10
1	320	Samos' sword was in his hand, thrust under the collar of her garment, ready to thrust in and lift, parting the garment, causing the robes to fall to either side, about her then naked body.	10
1	321	"Do not punish her," I told Samos.	10
1	322	Samos looked at me, irritably.	10
1	324	"To his sandal, Slave," said Samos.	10
1	329	I could see she feared Samos.	10
1	336	I saw the simple, circular, gray collar, the collar of the house of Samos, locked about her throat.	10
1	337	"What is her price?" I asked Samos.	10
1	338	"I paid ten pieces of gold for her," said Samos.	10
1	344	"Very well," said Samos.	10
1	346	I handed them to Samos.	10
1	348	Samos, with a general key, one used for many of the gray collars, unlocked the band of steel which encircled her lovely throat.	10
1	355	"With your permission," said Samos, "I shall withdraw".	10
1	356	"Stay," said I, "Samos".	10
1	376	"I took the liberty," said Samos, "though at the time I did not know of your injuries, your paralysis, to inform her of what occurred in the delta of the Vosk".	10
1	379	"I am sorry," said Samos.	10
1	383	"You betrayed your codes! You are a coward! A fool! You are not worthy of me! That you dare ask me if I could care for such as you is to me, a free woman, an insult! You chose slavery to death!" "Why did you tell her of the delta of the Vosk?" I asked Samos.	10
1	384	"So that if there might have been love between you, it would no longer exist," said Samos.	10
1	386	"Truth is cruel," said Samos.	10
1	391	"It remained yet my hope," said Samos, "to recall you to a lofty service, one dignified and of desperate importance".	10
1	393	Samos shrugged.	10
1	396	"Now," said I, "Samos, I cannot serve even myself".	10
1	397	"I am sorry," said Samos.	10
1	400	"You did well, I understand," said Samos, "in the stockade of Sarus of Tyros".	10
1	403	"This money," said I to Samos, "is for safe passage to Ar, by guard and tarn, for this woman".	10
1	407	"She is a she-sleen," said Samos, "vicious and ignoble".	10
1	409	"You have been disowned," said Samos, and turned and left.	10
1	561	It was the voice of Samos, first slaver of Port Kar.	10
1	563	"Put torches in the rings," said Samos.	10
1	566	Samos appeared before the table.	10
1	622	I looked at Samos.	10
1	624	"I know only what I am told," said Samos.	10
1	627	"It could only have been one of the Kurii," said Samos.	10
1	629	"The word is a Gorean corruption of their name for themselves, for their kind," said Samos.	10
1	632	If Samos were correct that 'Kurii' was a Gorean corruption of the name of such animals for themselves, and that the word was used in Torvaldsland as a designation for beasts, then it seemed not unlikely that such animals were not unknown in Torvaldsland, at least in certain areas, perhaps remote one...	10
1	643	"Samos?" I asked.	10
1	644	"The strike," said Samos, "seems deliberate.	10
1	647	"The affairs of worlds," said Samos, "apparently still touch you".	10
1	659	"I will go," said Samos.	10
1	662	"No, Samos," I said.	10

20	36	"When I, in the hall of Samos, before leaving for the northern forests to seek Talena, learned of your flight, I wept".	10
21	128	"We have sought you," said Samos of Port Kar.	10
21	150	"Warrior," said the man who stood with Samos, "I bring the antidote".	10
21	154	"Speak," said Samos to Sarus.	10
21	162	Sullius Maximus had been one of the five Ubars of Port Kar, whose reigns, dividing the city, had been terminated when the Council of Captains, under the leadership of Samos, First Captain of Port Kar, had assumed the sovereignty.	10
21	197	"Has it been tested?" asked Samos.	10
21	239	"It may itself be poison," said Samos.	10
21	243	It was true what Samos had said.	10
22	3	"Will you not return to Port Kar with Sarus and myself?" asked Samos.	10
22	5	"Perhaps," said Samos, "when you reach Port Kar, we may talk of weighty matters".	10
22	8	"I think," said Samos, "that I detect a difference in you.	10
22	17	She looked at Samos, and then, swiftly, lowered her eyes.	10

1	56	Samos stepped from behind the low tables.	10
1	70	"Tell her," said Samos, "to watch a true woman, and learn to be female".	10
1	73	Samos had purchased her for four silver tarsks on Teletus, with many others, for various amounts.	10
1	76	A simple band of iron had been hammered about her neck by one of the metal workers in the employ of Samos.	10
1	174	Samos, with a snap of his fingers, freed the dancer from the slave pole.	10

1	188	"I will," said Samos.	10
1	194	"You learned little from her?" asked Samos.	10
1	195	I had interrogated the girl when she had first come to the house of Samos.	10
1	200	Samos laughed unpleasantly, the laugh of a slaver.	10
1	201	"Yet one thing you had from her seems of interest," said Samos, preceding me down a deep corridor.	10
1	208	"Yes," said Samos.	10
1	210	I had not much understood it, but Samos had evinced concern.	10
1	241	"Why," asked Samos, "should the slave ships cease their runs?" "An invasion?" I asked.	10
1	242	"Unlikely," said Samos.	10
1	247	"But this possibility, doubtless," smiled Samos, "too, is one which will not fail to be considered by the rulers of the Sardar".	10
1	250	"It may mean an invasion is being readied," said Samos.	10
1	256	"I think," said Samos, "it is something other than an invasion".	10
1	260	"I have much fear," said Samos.	10
1	266	"What is it," I asked, "which would render an invasion unnecessary?" "I have much fear," said Samos.	10
1	268	"Two things," said Samos.	10
1	283	"No," said Samos.	10
1	301	"Here," said Samos, at the end of the corridor, one of the lowest in the pens.	10
1	306	Samos took a torch from the guard, and went to one of the doors.	10
1	310	"What do you think?" asked Samos.	10
1	313	Samos took a stick from beside the door, with which the jailer thrust the pan of water or food toward the shape.	10

1	334	"It is a large one, is it not?" asked Samos.	10
1	336	"As nearly as we can determine," said Samos, "it is only a beast, and not rational".	10
1	342	"I bought it from hunters," said Samos.	10
1	346	"It is true," said Samos.	10
1	352	"Perhaps it is insane?" suggested Samos.	10
1	354	Samos shrugged.	10
1	361	"We have beaten it," said Samos.	10
1	365	"It did not respond to torture," said Samos.	10
1	371	"Very well," said Samos.	10
1	374	Men lifted their cups to Samos as we re-entered the hall.	10

1	385	Samos loomed over her.	10
1	389	"Whose were you?" asked Samos.	10
1	393	"You do not know who purchased you, or why?" asked Samos.	10
1	396	"What is your name?" asked Samos.	10
1	398	"What was your number in the pens of Tor?" asked Samos.	10
1	402	"Then," said I to Samos, "you do not know from whom this message comes".	10
1	406	Samos turned away from the girl.	10
1	414	"This is Ibn Saran, salt merchant of the river port of Kasra," said Samos.	10
1	421	"Ibn Saran, in the past months, has heard an unusual thing," said Samos.	10
1	423	Samos was first in the Council of Captains of Port Kar, which body was sovereign in the city.	10
1	425	"The noble Samos has been most kind," said Ibn Saran.	10
1	428	"I am pleased to make the acquaintance of he who is friend to Samos of Port Kar," said Ibn Saran.	10
1	433	"If it pleases you, noble Ibn Saran," said Samos, "would you speak before my friend what heard you in Kasra".	10
1	472	Samos looked at me.	10
1	494	"Beware the steel tower," said Samos.	10
1	496	Samos rose to his feet and, touching twice the palm of the right hand of Ibn Saran, took his leave.	10
1	509	I then thrust her from me, before the tables, that she might better please the guests of Samos, first slaver of Port Kar.	10
1	523	Even those for a fee delivering her to the house of Samos would have considered her only another wench, mere slave property.	10
1	527	"Take the girl to the pens," said Samos to the guards.	10
1	530	She looked at Samos.	10
1	531	"Then," said Samos, to the guards, "use her as a low work-slave in the pens, primarily as a cleaning slave.	10
1	534	"Then sell her," said Samos.	10
1	563	When the girl had been forced through the door leading to the pens, I turned to Samos.	10
1	565	Samos, puzzled, looked at me.	10
1	567	"I do not know," said Samos.	10
1	574	"There is much here that appears to make little sense," said Samos.	10
1	576	With an eating prong, a utensil now more common in the northern latitudes than earlier, Samos tapped the table before him.	10
1	580	Samos smiled.	10
1	589	"Information from the Sardar," said Samos, "suggests that that is true, that they have been stopped.	10
1	599	"It seems irrational," said Samos.	10
1	603	Samos regarded me.	10
1	607	"You understand the direction in which it was traveling?" asked Samos.	10
1	609	"Strange," said Samos.	10
1	613	"Who would enter such a place?" asked Samos.	10
1	616	"Who else?" asked Samos.	10
1	618	"Or the purposeful," said Samos, "someone who had business there, who knew what he was intending?" "Perhaps," I admitted.	10
1	621	"A tender of kaiila, a boy, lost from his camp," said Samos, "found a rock.	10
1	625	"No," said Samos, puzzled.	10
1	627	"And who would send such a message, and why?" "I do not know," said Samos.	10
1	662	"You discipline her well," said Samos, smiling.	10
1	666	Samos regarded her.	10
1	668	"Free her legs of the harness," said Samos to one of the guards.	10
1	680	The girl, her legs freed, looked at Samos with horror.	10
1	696	"Dance your body, Slave," I told her, "to the guests of Samos".	10
1	700	Samos rose from behind the table and strode to the map floor.	10
1	708	On the map at our feet, where we stood, where Samos had indicated, was a representation, several feet in extent, of a vast desert, the greatest desert of known Gor.	10
1	716	"There is one thing more," said Samos, "which I have not told you".	10
1	717	I returned my attention to Samos.	10
1	721	"Surrender Gor, it said," said Samos.	10
1	723	"Nothing more," said Samos.	10
