3	2	Out of the robes then popped the sandy-haired head of the scribe, his pale blue eyes twinkling on each side of that sharp needle of a nose.	10
3	15	And always under his table a brazier filled with hot coals burned near the feet of the scribe, perilously close to the scholarly litter with which the floor was strewn.	10
3	64	"You would never make a Scribe".	10
3	153	I did learn, casually from a Scribe, not Torm, that slaves were not permitted to impart instruction to a free man, since it would place him in their debt, and nothing was owed to a slave.	10
5	9	As I passed the cylinder in which Torm kept his scrolls, I was happy to catch a glimpse of the little scribe standing at his rough-hewn window.	10
20	36	I was honored that the little scribe had separated himself from his beloved scrolls long enough to share my happiness, only that of a warrior.	10
20	38	He clasped my hands, and, to my wonder, the little scribe was crying.	10

5	11	I longed for my city, and for my father, the magnificent Matthew Cabot, once Ubar, now Administrator of Ko-ro-ba, and for my friends, the proud Older Tarl, my master-at-arms, and Torm, the cheerful, grumbling little scribe who regarded even sleep and food as part of a conspiracy to separate him from...	10

1	46	I missed Torm and wondered if I would ever see him again, bounding about excoriating the authors of dusty scrolls, knocking the inkwell from his desk with an imperial sweep of the sleeve of his blue robe, leaping on the table in birdlike fury denouncing one scribe or another for independently redisc...	10
1	48	I would not search the fair for him, nor if he were here would I make my presence known, for by the will of Priest-Kings no two men of Ko-ro-ba might stand together, and I had no wish to jeopardize the little scribe.	10
2	2	It took not much time to purchase a small bundle of supplies to take into the Sardar, nor was it difficult to find a scribe to whom I might entrust the history of the events at Tharna.	10
2	5	He could not read the manuscript, as it was written in English, a language as foreign to him as Gorean would be to most of you, but yet he would treasure the manuscript and guard it as though it were a most precious possession, for he was a scribe and it is the way of scribes to love the written wor...	10
7	43	It is the common property of the Administrator of Ar, a herdsman beside the Vosk, a peasant from Tor, a scribe from Thentis, a metal worker from Tharna, a physician from Cos, a pirate from Port Kar, a warrior from Ko-ro-ba.	10
13	15	As he said, I would never make a Scribe.	10
34	20	I looked down at the little scribe, Torm, who had stopped sneezing, and was now wiping his nose on the blue sleeve of his robes.	10
34	37	"Forgive me, Vika," I said, and introduced her to my father, to the Older Tarl and Torm, the Scribe, and explained as briefly as I could what had befallen us in the Sardar.	10
34	57	He was, after all, a Scribe, and had the proprieties of his caste to observe.	10
34	69	"And here, too, is Ko-ro-ba," I said, pointing to the proud giant, the Older Tarl, and the tiny, sandy-haired scribe, Torm.	10
34	179	The Older Tarl roared with laughter and swept the little scribe under his arm.	10

3	185	"Ubar's Scribe to Ubara's Scribe Six," said the Player.	10
3	190	"Ubar's Scribe to Ubara's Scribe Six," repeated the Player.	10
1	48	The urn was given to him who wore the robes of the Administrator of the City, who took it and slowly, on foot, withdrew toward Ko-ro-ba, followed by the large blond Warrior and the small Scribe.	10
3	118	I supposed they were interested in seeing what the Player's response would be to yellow's fourteenth move, a move on which authorities disagreed sharply, some favoring Ubar's Initiate to Scribe Three, and others the withdrawal of Ubara's Spearman to cover the vulnerable Ubar Two.	10
3	192	"My First Tarnsman," said the Vintner, "captures Ubara's Scribe".	10
3	209	"Scribe takes Home Stone".	10
3	210	The crowd and I cried out with delight, marveling on it, the now-apparent simplicity of it, the attack which had been not so much mounted as revealed by the apparently meaningless moves, intended only to clear the board for the vital attack, coming from the improbable Ubara's Scribe, one of the leas...	10
4	32	At his right hand there was a Scribe, an angular, sullen man with deep eyes, with tablets and stylus.	10
4	127	"74673," said the Scribe.	10
4	130	Accordingly, I was not surprised that the Scribe had her number ready for Cernus.	10
4	143	"The girl!" cried out the Scribe.	10
5	454	"We have an agent in that house," said Misk, "a Scribe, the chief accountant, whose name is Caprus".	10
5	456	"No," said Misk, "as Scribe and Accountant his movements are restricted".	10
12	47	I looked to the area of the Administrator and saw the Hinrabian disgustedly turning away, dictating something to a scribe, who sat cross-legged near the throne, a sheaf of record papers in his hand.	10
14	40	To this point the tall, angular, dour Scribe had given us no information.	10
15	370	It was rather late in the evening, but Cernus had remained long at table, playing game after game with Caprus the Scribe.	10
15	421	"I give you the trade of Ar! I want only my life! Caste Sanctuary! Caste Sanctuary!" Cernus smiled at Caprus and then, unexpectedly, as though he had been teasing him, he placed his first tarnsman at Ubara's Scribe Two.	10
17	175	"Ar is at war with itself," said one man, who had not spoken before, a Scribe.	10
17	257	He was only a Scribe, and yet what he had done had taken great courage, probably more courage than that possessed by many Warriors.	10
17	336	I heard Caprus say, as though marveling, "I shall capture your Home Stone in three moves!" Cernus grinned and clapped his hands on the Scribe's shoulders.	10
17	765	To my astonishment, this time I began to see the Centian Opening unfold, developed years ago by Centius of Cos, one of the strongest openings known in the game, one in which the problems of development for red are particularly acute, especially the development of his Ubar's Scribe.	10
17	771	"Some authorities," I told her, "favor Ubar's Initiate to Scribe Three at this point, others recommend the withdrawal of Ubara's Spearman to cover Ubar Two".	10
17	773	"Ubar's Initiate to Scribe Three is the better move," she said.	10
17	775	I placed my Ubar's Initiate, a perfume vial, on Scribe Three.	10
17	779	"Now," she said, "you will find it difficult to bring your Ubar's Scribe into play".	10
17	804	"But then," she said, "I shall place my Ubara's Scribe at Ubar's Initiate Three".	10
18	459	"Worthy of a Scribe".	10
18	460	"I am a Scribe," said the man.	10
18	468	In the background I could see the lean Scribe whom I had thought for these many months to be Caprus.	10
19	14	On the seat of the wagon, which was drawn by a horned tharlarion, sat the driver and the Scribe whom I had known as Caprus, whose real name, as I had been informed, was Philemon of Tyros, an island some hundreds of pasangs west of Port Kar.	10
19	104	Cernus laughed to himself and turned his attention to his right, where stood Philemon, and conversed with the Scribe.	10
20	405	Without looking at the board Hup poked a piece, I think a Ubar's Scribe, with one of his swollen fingers.	10
20	462	"Surely you recognize," asked Scormus, curiously, looking up at him, "the Two Spearman variation of the Ubar's Scribe's Defense, developed by Miles of Cos and first used in the tournament at Tor held during the Second Passage Hand of the third year of the Administrator Heraklites?" Neither Cernus no...	10
20	488	"Only too late did I realize its position in your plan, the feint of the four-piece combination covering your transposition into the Hogar Variation of the Centian, striking down the file of the Ubara's Scribe.	10
20	528	"Ubar's Tarnsman to Ubara's Scribe Four!" Scormus smiled.	10
20	537	"I have moved Ubar's Tarnsman to Ubara's Scribe Four! What will you do now?" Hup returned to the table and, scarcely glancing at the board, picked up a piece and dropped it on a square.	10

6	105	A scribe stood by with a tally sheet, marking the number of captures by each warrior.	10
8	495	And, too, I was no longer worthy of the respect of my father, Matthew Cabot, Administrator of Ko-ro-ba, and of my teacher at arms, the Older Tarl, nor of he who had been my small friend, Torm, the Scribe.	10
10	12	Beside each empty throne there was a stool from which a Scribe, speaking in the name of his Ubar, participated in the proceedings of the council.	10
10	14	A scribe, at a large table before the five thrones, was droning the record of the last meeting of the council.	10
10	44	The voice of the scribe droned on, reading the records of the council's last meeting.	10
10	93	I had made her the chief scribe and accountant of my house.	10
10	188	At a word from the scribe at the long table before the thrones of the Ubars, two men put Tersites from the chamber, dragging him away.	10
11	3	The scribe at the table before the thrones was on his feet shouting.	10
11	9	And I saw, too, that the Scribe who normally sat his attendance at the right arm of the empty throne of Henrius Sevarius, the Fifth, in the council chamber was gone.	10
11	20	The scribe at the central table, that before the empty thrones, stood numb behind the table.	10
11	30	"Gather up and guard the book of the Council," I told the Scribe who had been at the great table.	10
11	53	I gestured to the side door, through which Lysias and, I assumed, he who had been scribe for Henrius Sevarius, had escaped.	10
11	184	"We have the reports on the damage to the wharves of Chung," said a scribe, pressing into my hands the documents.	10
11	187	I looked at the scribe.	10
11	211	A scribe came to my side.	10
11	214	"Yes," said the scribe.	10
11	218	The scribe grinned.	10
11	230	"What have you learned?" I asked the Scribe, who stood with his tablet and stylus beside the rack.	10
11	233	The scribe looked up at me.	10
11	236	The scribe looked at me, puzzled.	10
11	293	Then Samos addressed himself to the Scribe near the rack.	10
11	372	"I now ask the table scribe," said Samos, "to call the roll of captains".	10
11	373	"Antisthenes," called the scribe.	10
11	376	He took his sword from its sheath and plunged it through the scribe's papers, pinning them to the table.	10
11	387	Sullius Maximus stopped before the table of the scribe, and regarded the council.	10
11	392	"Bejar," called the scribe.	10
11	394	"Bosk," called the scribe.	10
11	397	"Abstention," recorded the scribe.	10
11	497	"Let there be peace in the council," said the scribe behind the great table, that before the now-empty five thrones of the Ubars of Port Kar.	10
11	564	"Do you have a nomination?" asked the scribe at the center table.	10
13	258	"Very well," said the captain, gesturing to a scribe near him, with a wallet of coins slung over his shoulder, to pay the slave master.	10
13	268	Tenrik, followed by the scribe, turned and left.	10
15	266	I looked down the long table, and, far to my right, sitting alone at the end of the long bench behind the table, was Luma, my slave and chief scribe.	10
15	267	Poor, scrawny, plain Luma, thought I, in her tunic of scribe's cloth, and collar! What a poor excuse for a paga slave she had been! Yet she had a brilliant mind for the accounts and business of a great house, and had much increased my fortunes.	10
16	350	The scribe, haggard behind the great table, sitting before the book of the council, looked up at me.	10
16	360	"I petition," said I to the scribe, as though it might be an ordinary meeting, "to address the council".	10
16	361	The scribe was puzzled.	10
16	363	"Speak," said the Scribe.	10
16	402	"Bind that slave and beat him!" cried the scribe.	10
16	403	Samos, with a gesture, silenced the scribe.	10

1	3	Carefully, I set the Ubar's Tarnsman at Ubar's Scribe Six.	10
1	61	He looked up at me, and defended his Home Stone by bringing his Scribe to Ubar One whence it could control his Ubar's Tarnsman Three, controlling as well the killing diagonal.	10

4	403	Red controlled not one but four adjacent diagonals, unobstructed diagonals, each bearing on the citadel of yellow's Home Stone; the red Ubara threatened the Ubara's Scribe's Spearman at Ubara's Scribe Two; the Initiate threatened the Ubara's Builder at Builder Two, positioned directly before yellow'...	10
4	280	Instead Centius of Cos had advanced his Ubar's Scribe's Spearman to Ubar's Scribe Three.	10
4	402	Red's Ubar's Initiate controlled the Ubar's Initiate's Diagonal; the red Ubara controlled the Ubar's Physician's Diagonal; the red Ubar controlled the Ubar's Builder's Diagonal; the Ubar's Scribe controlled the Ubar's Scribe's Diagonal.	10
3	278	There was a thin scribe present, as well, behind the counter.	10
3	678	It had occurred on the twenty-fourth move of red, played by Philemon, Physician to Physician Six, generally regarded as a flawed response to Ossius' Ubar to Ubara's Scribe Five.	10
4	308	Centius of Cos moved his Ubara to Ubar's Scribe Four.	10
4	343	I also noted, as I had not noted before, that red's Ubar's Scribe was developed.	10
4	345	The Ubara, of course, as I have mentioned, had been developed to Ubar's Scribe Four.	10
4	366	No major piece had yet been moved by yellow, not an Initiate, nor a Builder, nor a Scribe, nor a Tarnsman, nor the Ubar nor Ubara.	10
4	378	It would also take three moves if he wished to place it at Ubar's Initiate One, or at Ubara's Scribe One, Ubara's Builder One or Ubara's Initiate One.	10
4	379	He could place the Home Stone, of course, in two moves, if he would place it at Ubar's Tarnsman One, or Ubar's Scribe One, or Ubar One, or Ubara One, or Ubara's Tarnsman One.	10
4	393	The two Home stones, at their respective locations, faced one another, each shielded by its several defending pieces, Scribe and Initiate, one of the central Spearmen, a flanking Spearman, a Builder, a Physician, and a Rider of the High Tharlarion.	10
4	586	The merchant's assistant, the scribe, his face and arm bleeding, stood to one side.	10
4	651	I looked to the scribe.	10

4	672	I regarded the scribe.	10

6	605	The scribe carried a folder with him.	10
6	612	The scribe, with Ulafi, went about his business.	10
6	685	The scribe noted the physician's report in his papers and the physician, with a marking stick, initialed the entry.	10

52	177	"That is known to me," said the scribe.	10
52	184	"I will take you to Shaba," said the scribe.	10
53	7	The scribe had led us through the city, ascending and descending streets, making our way through various buildings, following various ancient avenues, flanked by the ruins of what must once have been an impressive grandeur.	10
53	8	Bila Huruma and I had followed the scribe most closely.	10
53	22	"Shaba is dying," had said the scribe who had conducted us to this place.	10

53	259	The tribal stitching on his face, so startling and paradoxical in a scribe, a man of civilization, was identical to that on the face of Shaba.	10

1	829	I would then, later, bring the Ubar's Builder to Ubar's Scribe One, to bring pressure to bear on the Ubar's Scribe's file.	10
12	37	On my second rank, I had a Spearman at Ubar's Builder Two, a Scribe at Ubara Two, and another Rider of the High Tharlarion at Ubara's Scribe Two.	10
12	43	This was backed by a Scribe at Ubara's Scribe Four.	10
12	249	I could not move the Home Stone to Ubar's Builder One because that square was covered by his Scribe at Ubara's Scribe Four.	10
12	284	I now began to suspect that the placement of his Builder on that file might not have been an accident, no more than the rather irritating placement of his Scribe at Ubara's Scribe Four.	10
12	288	I expected him rather, then, to take the Builder and then, with impunity, promote his Spearman to a Tarnsman at his Ubar's Scribe Ten, my Ubar's Scribe One.	10
12	303	I could not move the Home Stone to either Ubar's Builder One, Two or Three because of the coverage of these squares, all of them being covered by his Builder at his Ubar's Builder One, and Ubar's Builder One being additionally covered by his Scribe, that posted at Ubara's Scribe Four.	10
1	713	I moved my Ubara's Rider of the High Tharlarion to Ubara's Scribe Three.	10
1	828	I utilized the initial three-space option of the Ubar's Scribe's Spearman.	10
1	837	I brought the Ubar's Builder to Ubar's Scribe One.	10
1	1055	I won both games easily, the first with a battering ram of Spearmen and Riders of the High Tharlarion on the Ubar's side, and the second with a middle-game combination of Ubara's Scribe, Ubara and Ubar's Tarnsman.	10
9	361	"Your body, as I now see," said Boots, "now that you are naked, now that the pesky, interfering, obscuring robes of the scribe have been totally removed from it, not inconceivably might be of interest to a male".	10
12	36	The configuration of pieces on the board was as follows: On my first rank, my Home Stone was at Ubar's Initiate One; I had a Builder at Ubar's Scribe One.	10
12	38	On my third rank, I had a Spearman at Ubar's Initiate Three and another at Ubar's Scribe Three.	10
12	41	His Spearman at Ubar's Builder Eight was supported by another of his Spearmen, posted at Ubar's Scribe Seven.	10
12	44	This alignment of the Ubara and Scribe did not frighten me.	10
12	46	His Scribe could recapture but he would have lost his Ubara, and for only a Builder.	10
12	52	"But you would then retreat to your Ubar's Initiate Seven, the Rider of the High Tharlarion then protected by your Scribe at Ubara Two," he said.	10
12	62	I now moved my Scribe from Ubara Two to Ubara's Tarnsman Three.	10
12	64	He could not take it with his Ubara, of course, sweeping down his Ubara's Tarnsman's file, because it was protected now by my other Rider of the High Tharlarion, that hitherto, seemingly innocent, seemingly uninvolved piece which had just happened, apparently, to be posted at Ubara's Scribe Two.	10
12	69	His only defense would be the capture of the Rider of the High Tharlarion with his Ubara, at which point, of course, I would recapture with the Scribe, thus exchanging the Rider of the High Tharlarion for a Ubara, an exchange much to my profit.	10
12	261	I could not move my Home Stone in front of the Spearman, even if I had wished to do so, because of his Scribe's coverage from afar of that square, Ubar's Builder One.	10
12	263	I now began to suspect that what I had thought had been a rather weak, easily averted threat of capture of Home Stone, the earlier alignment of his Ubara and Scribe on that crucial diagonal, might actually have had a somewhat different, more latent, more insidious purpose.	10
12	264	Similarly, even if his Scribe had not been placed where it was, it would not have been rational in this specific game situation, though it would have been a possible move, to place my Home Stone at Ubar's Builder One.	10
12	267	But, as it was, because of the Scribe's coverage of Ubar's Builder One, my move was forced.	10
12	292	The game was still mine! "Spearman to Ubar's Initiate Ten," he said, moving the Spearman neither to Ubar's Builder Ten nor to Ubar's Scribe Ten, taking the Builder.	10
12	431	Torm, my old friend, the Scribe, might have expressed skepticism at the unqualified promptness and boldness of my asseveration, as I had always remained somewhat imperfect in writing the alternate lines of Gorean script, which are written from the right to the left, but, clearly, I could both read a...	10

22	219	"Can you dance?" she had been asked by the scribe.	10
22	227	But I shall not be called upon to dance, she told herself, for I have informed the scribe that I cannot dance.	10
22	304	The matter was supervised by a scribe, with a clipboard, to which were attached several sheets of paper.	10
22	539	She had been 'Auta' before, but the scribe had not cared for that name, and had given her the name 'Renata'.	10
24	349	She saw the scribe who had been in charge of her in the exhibition cage.	10
24	649	Ellen saw the scribe who had queried her earlier, in the exhibition cage, and, oddly, momentarily, was frightened.	10
24	708	She did see, this frightening her, and she quickly put down her head, the scribe who had interviewed her in the exhibition cage, and three guardsmen, with him, not one but three, all approaching.	10
24	711	"117, Kajira Ellen," said the scribe.	10
24	713	"Dismiss your girls, save this one," said the scribe.	10
24	717	"Strip yourself, completely," said the scribe.	10
24	719	"Help her," said the scribe.	10
24	728	She looked up and, meeting the stern eyes of the scribe, lifted away the skirt, folded it, and, head down, placed it, too, beside her.	10
24	729	"Bells," said the scribe.	10
24	735	"On your belly," said the scribe.	10
24	740	"Well, little Ellen," said the scribe.	10
24	743	"But I thought it strange," said the scribe, "when I heard your number called in the camp, summoning you to a dancing circle, and, indeed, one so high as the ba-ta circle.	10
24	746	"According to my records," said the scribe, looming over her, tall in his blue robes, she could see but the hem of his robe and his sandals, "you responded negatively when queried as to your ability to dance.	10
24	766	She supposed that the question had been a trap, but, even had it not been, even if the scribe's question had been innocently, honestly, motivated, she thought it wisest to answer truthfully.	10
24	768	"Then," said the scribe, "it appears that you are a lying slave".	10
24	774	There was laughter, from the scribe, and from one of the guardsmen, and from the two whip masters who had now come forth from the area of preparation.	10
24	782	"You danced," said the scribe.	10
24	784	"You had lessons?" said the scribe.	10
24	788	"And surely, as a slave," said the scribe, "you upon occasion, naked, in secret, had swayed before a mirror?" "Yes, Master," whispered Ellen.	10
24	796	"Then you have not only made observations, from which you perhaps learned something, but you have practiced," said the scribe.	10
24	798	"I think I shall have you remanded for the liar's brand," said the scribe.	10
24	802	"Who are you?" asked the scribe.	10
24	806	It was Selius Arconious! "Perhaps you are right," said the scribe.	10
24	809	"I did, as doubtless did we all, enjoyed her performance, and that should count for something, I suppose," said the scribe, "and I, besides, upon reflection, am inclined to grant that she may not have fully understood her latent talents in the matter".	10
24	818	"Surely she should at least have qualified her answer, or have been more candid, or more speculative, with our fellow here," said Arconious, indicating the scribe.	10
24	820	"I am inclined to forget the matter," said the scribe.	10
24	824	"Inadvertently, unintentionally," suggested the scribe.	10
24	826	"Granted," said the scribe.	10
24	829	"We do not have that reputation," said the scribe, unpleasantly.	10
24	835	"Yes," said the scribe.	10
24	837	"We do not," said the scribe.	10
24	838	"Whip!" The whip of the exterior whip master was handed to the scribe, who gave it to one of the attending guardsmen.	10
24	841	"What do you think should be her punishment?" asked the scribe.	10
24	853	"That is acceptable," said the scribe.	10
24	858	The scribe distributed some of the coins to the attending guardsmen.	10
24	863	I loathe him! I loathe him!" "You may belly," said the scribe, "and express your gratitude to your benefactor".	10
24	869	"Kneel up, slut," said the scribe.	10
24	878	Then she looked up, for her wrists were lifted, by the scribe, he checking the confining knots which bound them.	10
24	879	"There is no more dancing or serving for you this night, 117, Ellen," said the scribe.	10
24	885	"I will see that she is put into one of the tiniest of the slave cages," said the scribe.	10
25	27	"Is she more beautiful than I?" A scribe, with papers, was nearby, and, in a moment, began to course the chain.	10
25	30	It was not the scribe she had known from the exhibition cage or the silken enclosure of the preceding evening.	10
25	31	"Put your head up, girl," said the scribe.	10
25	40	Now it seems I shall learn! The scribe was then well behind her, farther back down the line.	10
25	63	"Oh, please, masters, let me out!" Selius Arconious, she recalled, had suggested that she be confined "straitly," and the scribe, to whom he had given some fifteen tarsk-bits, buying her blows, had found this not only agreeable, but, given his earlier rancor, eminently fitting.	10
25	109	The scribe of the exhibition cages and silken enclosure, it seems, had certainly been wrong about one thing.	10
25	305	"Did a scribe give you a name?" "Of course not!" she said.	10
25	306	"What did the scribe put on your records?" "'Melanie'," she said.	10
26	170	"Thank you for buying my whip strokes from the scribe, at the dancing circle," said Ellen.	10
