17	205	He was replaced by a member of the Taurentians, Seremides of Tyros, nominated by Saphronicus of Tyros, Captain of the Taurentians.	10

15	715	"Seremides," he said.	10
15	716	"Seremides?" "Yes".	10
15	717	I had once known a Seremides in Ar.	10
19	254	Seremides of Tyros, in those days, had been high general of Ar.	10
19	258	After the defeat and deposition of Cernus, so briefly a ubar, I had seen both Saphronicus and Seremides in chains before Marlenus, then again upon the throne.	10

4	56	I had heard, of course, that a man named Seremides was now high general in Ar, but I had not supposed that this might be the Seremides of the time of Cernus.	10
4	48	Saphronicus and Seremides had now had their revenge, I thought.	10
4	53	Saphronicus and Seremides, as traitors, had been put in chains and sold to the galleys whence, I gathered, they had been rescued by some who perhaps might find use for men such as they.	10
4	55	Seremides had been leader of the forces of Ar.	10
4	59	The Seremides of the time of Cernus had even been by birth of Tyros.	10
4	61	That this was indeed the same Seremides had been made clear to me, however, by an amused Saphronicus himself, in a midnight interview in his tent.	10
12	151	"Some of those most highly placed in the city are party to this treachery, among them Seremides, high general, and Saphronicus, to whose staff you are adjunct.	10

7	337	"Peace, friendship, joy and love," called Myron, "to our brothers in Ar!" One of the members of the High Council, presumably its executive officer, who would have had been directly subordinate to Gnieus Lelius, the regent, in a civilian capacity, as Seremides would have been in a military capacity, ...	10
2	128	I was certain, however, from information I had obtained at Holmesk, at the winter camp of Ar, that the high general in the city, Seremides, of Tyros, was involved.	10
4	76	And, once one added to the reckoning of these dismal tables the skewing factor of treachery in Ar, and that her high general, Seremides, of Tyros, was traitorous to his oaths, as I had learned at Holmesk, in the north, Ar, I was sure, was doomed.	10
6	149	"That is the personal banner of Seremides!" said a man.	10
6	152	Too, if the fellow was right, that one of the banners in the group was that of Seremides, then presumably he, or his empowered agent, was one of the riders.	10
6	153	"Save us, Seremides!" cried a man.	10
6	174	"Perhaps Seremides can save us," said a man.	10
7	21	Gnieus Lelius, it seems, had been deposed, and Seremides, in a military coup he himself characterized as regrettable, had seized temporary power, a power to be wielded until the High Council, now the highest civilian authority in Ar, could elect a new leader, be it Administrator, Regent, Ubar or Uba...	10
7	94	"It is Seremides, and members of the High Council!" said a fellow.	10
7	95	Seremides, whom I had not seen this clearly since long ago in Ar, in the days of Minus Tentius Hinrabius, and Cernus, of Ar, with others, members of the High Council, I gathered, now, from the side of the Central Cylinder, ascended the platform.	10
7	101	"He has his sword!" "Seremides retains his sword!" cried a man, calling back to those less near the platform.	10
7	103	Then the High Council stood to one side, and Seremides himself returned to the point on the platform where the rear ramp, that near the Central Cylinder, ascended to its surface.	10
7	110	Seremides now, at the rear of the platform, where the rear ramp ascended to its surface, extended his hand downward, to escort a figure clad and veiled in dazzling white to the surface of the platform.	10
7	111	It was a graceful figure who, head down, the fingers of her left hand in the light grasp of Seremides, now came forward upon the platform.	10
7	165	"Do not let this be done, Seremides!" cried a fellow.	10
7	167	But now Seremides held forth his hands, calmly, palms down, and raised and lowered them, gently, several times.	10
7	176	Seremides' calming hands continued to beg for patience.	10
7	181	Seremides then, again, held out his hand to Talena.	10
7	185	She even turned to Seremides, doubtlessly imploring him with all the piteous vulnerability of the penitent or suppliant, that she not be stationed close to that odious object, which had brought such lamentable catastrophe and misery upon her city.	10
7	186	Seremides seemed to hesitate for a moment and then, as though he had made a determined decision, however unwise it might be, graciously, and with great courtesy, conducted Talena to a place further from the kneeling Gnieus Lelius.	10
7	188	"Good, Seremides!" cried a man.	10
7	252	Seremides approached him and, drawing his sword from its sheath, extended it to him, hilt first.	10
7	254	Myron, indeed, with a magnanimous gesture, had demurred to accept the weapon of Seremides, the high general of Ar.	10
7	255	Seremides now sheathed the sword.	10
7	257	The crowd then hushed as Seremides extended his hand to Talena and conducted her before Myron, her head down.	10
7	312	The hand of Seremides, however, gently stayed her.	10
7	323	He then turned to Talena, who stood somewhat behind him, the hand of Seremides on her arm, as though to supply her with perhaps much-needed kindly support in these trying moments.	10
7	338	"I speak on behalf of Talena of Ar, daughter of Marlenus of Ar, Ubar of Ubars," called Seremides.	10
7	347	I noted that while Myron and his fellows scattered these coins about, Seremides, waving to the crowd, and Talena, lifting her hand, too, and the High Council, withdrew from the surface of the platform.	10
7	400	"Hail Seremides!" cried others.	10
7	415	But I did not think that she, or Seremides, had feared that eventuality.	10
7	417	Seremides, too, and Myron, as well, I thought, had played their parts well.	10
7	474	"Seremides will doubtless participate in the triumph," he said.	10
7	482	"Myron did not accept the sword of Seremides," he said.	10
8	108	It was now some two months since the entry of Myron into the city and the subsequent triumph of Lurius of Jad, celebrated a day later in his name by Myron, the polemarkos, in which triumph he, Myron, acting as proxy for Lurius of Jad, was joined by Seremides and Talena, and several weeks after the a...	10
8	111	Seremides and most members of the High Council were in attendance.	10
8	121	The chief advisors of the new ubara were Myron, of Cos, and Seremides, once of Tyros.	10
8	422	Behind the palanquin, on tharlarion, side by side, had ridden Seremides, formerly high general of Ar, now, in peacetime, first minister to her majesty, the Ubara, and Myron, the polemarkos of Temos.	10
8	423	Seremides, to be sure, now as captain, high captain, retained command of the palace guard, the Taurentians.	10
10	15	At last, in view of the distinct unrest in the city, and the possible danger of riots and demonstrations, a communication was received from the Central Cylinder, jointly presented by Talena, Ubara of Ar; Seremides, captain of the guard; Antonius, executive officer of the High Council; Tulbinius, Chi...	10
10	109	"I suspect," I said, "that these arrests are more the work of Seremides, and Antonius, of the High Council".	10
13	34	"The Ubara knows," he said, "and Seremides, and the polemarkos".	10
14	441	"Seremides thinks so," said a man.	10
15	29	"This was undoubtedly a trap set by Seremides.	10
15	38	"Do you think Seremides will be fooled?" he asked.	10
15	73	"The fact that Seremides, if I read him aright, set such a trap for the Delta Brigade, supposedly with the delta records, indicates if nothing else that he is quite serious in his suspicions of the delta veterans, and that he may act against them".	10
16	20	"The work of Seremides would be much simpler, to be sure," said Marcus, "if all the fellows in the Delta Brigade would be so obliging".	10
16	153	"And you further acknowledge that Seremides and the Ubara are traitors to Ar, and puppets of Cos?" "Of course," he said, after a moment.	10
16	158	"Treason on the part of Seremides?" asked a man.	10
16	264	"Seremides no doubt links the Delta Brigade with the veterans of the delta, and perhaps on the whole correctly, but he is clever enough to recognize that the popularity of the actions of the Delta Brigade has increased support for the veterans.	10
16	269	"Seremides needs something, or someone, to dissociate the Delta Brigade from the veterans".	10
16	288	"In our way, and in what we began, for better or for worse, we have forced Seremides to renew the vilification of Ar's Station".	10
16	299	"How do you plan on attacking the place of the Home Stone's display, if Seremides chooses to expose it once more to the abuse of Ar?" "He will," I said.	10
21	234	"'It could mean his death if it were so much as glimpsed by one of the Council, or by Seremides, or Myron, or his master, or perhaps any free man,' she said.	10
22	239	"Glory to Seremides, first minister to the Ubara, high captain, commander of the Taurentians, to Myron, polemarkos of Temos, to Lurius of Jad, Ubar of Cos!" I said.	10
23	42	"Seremides," cried Boots, "tried to throw this miserable rock into a wastes vat.	10
23	267	"If it were, Seremides, and the Ubara, and their minions, could pretend it is still the Home Stone of Ar's Station.	10
26	57	Seremides is so careful! His spies are everywhere.	10
26	224	Should it come to the attention of Seremides, or Myron, or the high council, or an archon of slaves, or perhaps even a guardsman, you may well conjecture what might be your fate".	10
26	470	"Do you think I am a common person? Do you think you can treat one of my importance in this fashion! I shall have Seremides have you boiled in oil!" "I am of the second Octavii," said Tolnar.	10
26	494	"Seremides will wish me free! So, too, will Myron! So, too, will Lurius of Jad!" "But we have taken an oath to uphold the laws of Ar," said Tolnar.	10
26	558	"Contact Seremides!" she said.	10
27	331	It would be next to impossible, for, say, Seremides, to recover them all.	10
27	609	"Tomorrow I will have your whereabouts conveyed to Seremides by courier".	10
27	630	"Seremides will hunt you down! I will see to it!" she said.	10
27	631	"The downfall of Seremides," I said, "has already been arranged".	10
27	655	"Seremides can arrange for their recall," she said.	10
27	839	"Is it truly your intention to call my whereabouts to the attention of Seremides?" she asked.	10
28	51	Well could I imagine Seremides storming about, striking subordinates, denouncing his staff, threatening his officers, and all Ar, overturning furniture, tearing down hangings, picking up the pen, putting it down again, spilling ink, shouting orders, rescinding them, issuing them again, and demanding...	10
28	110	I thought of Seremides, whom I had known as long ago as the time of Cernus.	10

5	540	"And he wished to know in truth who ruled, and he was told Lurius of Jad, in far Cos, but through Myron, the polemarkos, with the collusion of Seremides, master of the Taurentians, the palace guard.	10
13	233	"What of Seremides?" I asked.	10
26	218	"You are Seremides," I said, "master of the Taurentians, the palace guard, conspirator, high traitor, with Talena, and others, to the Home Stone of Ar".	10
26	267	"Where is she?" inquired Seremides.	10
26	270	"In Ar," said Seremides, "you would be slain".	10
26	277	"Where is she?" asked Seremides.	10
26	279	"Seven thousand tarns of gold, double weight!" snapped Seremides.	10
26	281	"No woman is worth that much," said Seremides.	10
26	283	"Surrender her," said Seremides.	10
26	285	"You are her master!" cried Seremides.	10
26	296	"Speak!" cried Seremides.	10
26	300	"Where is she!" cried Seremides.	10
26	305	"There are lanterns," I said, gesturing past Seremides, to the left.	10
26	307	"Liar!" cried Seremides.	10
26	309	At the same time Seremides, with a curse, pulled his tarn away and fled.	10
26	323	Seremides, I had learned, had one or more men in the camp.	10
27	95	Perhaps he suspected me of having had the tarn of the guard drugged, which guard had, incidentally, as Seremides had assured me, returned unharmed to camp.	10
27	108	Surely she could have been taken as she had been taken, from the very height of the Central Cylinder, if Seremides' account was at all correct, only by means of either Kurii or Priest-Kings.	10
28	2	The rain which had intruded itself lightly, intermittently, then more heavily, briefly, for some Ehn, when I had been aflight, responding to what had turned out to be the summons of Seremides, had been little more than a harbinger of storms which had begun in earnest some two days later.	10
28	242	Someone, too, in league with Seremides, must have slain the fellow who had drugged the tarn, and accosted me in the vicinity of Tarncamp.	10
28	250	I thought of Seremides, and the strange conversation we had shared, on tarnback, in the darkness, partly in the rain.	10
28	334	Again I recalled the conversation with Seremides, in the darkness above the forest.	10
28	388	I thought now, however, from my rendezvous with Seremides, once of the Taurentians, the woman would be Talena.	10
28	469	I myself supposed the attack was founded on my failure to satisfy Seremides in our interview of some nights ago.	10
34	81	She knew nothing, of course, of my conversation with Seremides, formerly of the palace guard, the Taurentians.	10
43	122	He is Seremides, formerly captain of the Taurentians, the palace guard, in the time of the false Ubara, Talena, of Ar".	10
43	124	"He is Seremides," I said, again, "formerly captain of the Taurentians, the palace guard, in the time of the false Ubara, Talena, of Ar".	10
43	133	Seremides bowed his head, briefly, appreciatively.	10
43	143	Seremides inclined his head, briefly, acknowledging this compliment.	10
43	177	I then drew my sword, and, smoothly, like the lifted head of an ost, so, too, did the blade of Seremides, as noiselessly as the menace of that venomous creature, leave its sheath.	10
43	182	I half sheathed my blade, watching Seremides from the side.	10
43	190	I had not expected Seremides to attack, but I had learned what I wanted, that he knew the game, that he was no fool, and that he would be extremely dangerous, patient and dangerous, not only if he were interested in me, but dangerous, too, to whoever or whatever might brook his ambition or projects.	10

3	329	I reached for the mounting ladder of Seremides' tarn, but it was jerked away, and, in a moment, I was in the shadow of those great beating wings, the bird lifting itself, scarcely able to keep my footing, my robes and veils whipping about me, and then the monster was in flight, and Seremides, and hi...	10
5	92	Quite possibly he had left such matters to the judgment of Seremides, the Seremides I knew.	10
5	148	I knew not how long I might live, so, in this august presence, I pointed to Seremides, and stated, clearly, loudly, and emphatically, "His name is not Rutilius of Ar!" Seremides instantly rushed at me and I saw the flash of the blade descending but heard a ringing of steel and saw a flash of sparks ...	10
12	118	But, too, I thought, and shivered, perhaps more was involved, more than I had suspected? Might it not be I, Callias, who would serve to lure Seremides in? Clearly there was bad blood between the tarnsman and Seremides.	10
12	119	Might there not be then some trap I did not understand, in which I might be the bait? How astonished I had been when it had become clear to me that the tarnsman, Tarl Cabot, did not fear Seremides, but, on the contrary, appeared ready to welcome an opportunity to match steel with him, and how more a...	10
15	1	Seremides; The Slave, Alcinoë "Turgus commands a galley!" said the fellow to Seremides.	10
15	8	Tyrtaios, who was of the retinue of Lord Nishida, had a somewhat similar role, but, if he were latently more dangerous than Seremides, he did not have the temper, and the character of Seremides, which had much to do with intimidation, humiliation, and the drawing of blood.	10
15	126	Did those on his galley, whom Seremides had so roundly abused, carry on so? "Do not hurt me," said Seremides.	10
24	377	"As Seremides is," he said, "Seremides is entitled to fear".	10
31	1	I Fail to Satisfy the Curiosity of Seremides "Surely you know what they plan to do!" said Seremides.	10
3	257	Seremides, master of the Taurentians, the palace guard, was in command.	10
3	260	Seremides was attempting to negotiate with the rebels.	10
3	262	There were tarns on the roof, by means of which Seremides, and some of his men, might attempt their escape, a hope meager but not forlorn, for the sky is wide and deep.	10
3	264	Seremides had so bespoke himself, it seems, to calm our fears.	10
3	268	Seremides had had her don a slave tunic, and you know what such things are".	10
3	293	It was I who, at the behest of Seremides, cast her the rag of a slave, and bade her don it, and expeditiously, or the men would see to the matter.	10
3	298	'Where is the tarn basket?' I cried to Seremides.	10
3	303	'Slay the Ubara!' called a man, holding tarn reins, to Seremides.	10
3	304	'Show thus your allegiance to Ar!' Seremides drew his sword.	10
3	312	'Where is the Ubara?' cried Seremides.	10
3	328	"When it became clear that Talena was gone," she said, "Seremides and his men, finding their situation critical, took to desperate flight.	10
3	330	"Did Seremides escape?" I asked.	10
3	360	On the fourth day of the uprising we were well aware of affairs in the streets below, and the proscription lists, and I had learned my name stood high on the lists, not far below those of Talena, Seremides, and others".	10
3	1105	I had, of course, quickly enough, and eagerly enough, agreed that she was to be repudiated, betrayed, and sacrificed for the welfare of our party, that of Seremides and others.	10
3	1505	You are the former Lady Flavia of Ar, and that name, as I understand it, remains high on the proscription lists, perhaps just beneath those of Talena herself, and Seremides".	10
4	28	He was Seremides of Ar, who had been the master of the Taurentians, the palace guard, during the brief reign of Talena, false Ubara.	10
4	29	I wondered if he knew the former Lady Flavia was on this ship, and I wondered if she knew that Seremides, now calling himself Rutilius of Ar, co-conspirator and traitor, he who had abandoned her on the roof of the Central Cylinder, was also aboard.	10
4	34	I myself, from what I had seen in the cell, would not have minded owning the former Lady Flavia of Ar, and promptly switch-training her to my tastes, but I suspected that Seremides would dispose of her.	10
4	40	Seremides was his personal guard.	10
4	48	"Let us cut his throat," said Seremides.	10
4	50	That Seremides had spoken seemed to surprise Lord Nishida, who glanced to Lord Okimoto, but Lord Okimoto remained passive, his countenance unreadable.	10
4	51	Here, I gathered, Seremides was subordinate to others.	10
4	72	And that, I thought, along with the presence of Seremides, did not augur well for my future.	10
4	76	"I thought he was Cosian," snarled Seremides.	10
4	87	"Too," said Seremides, "we were attacked, flaming javelins launched against us".	10
4	95	"He is an enemy," said Seremides, "self-confessed, who pursued and attacked us, a scion of vengeful, hostile Cos.	10
4	102	Seremides clenched his fists.	10
4	155	"I have seen this Alcinoë," said Seremides.	10
4	163	"Kill him," said Seremides.	10
4	166	"Kill him," said Seremides.	10
4	177	"He is useless to us," said Seremides.	10
4	183	I wondered if Seremides had once trained with the Assassins.	10
4	185	I was reassured that there was no good feeling, obviously, between Seremides and the tarnsman.	10
4	186	Seremides looked to Lord Okimoto, who nodded.	10
5	58	Indeed, yesterday, on my behalf, he had stood against Seremides himself.	10
5	61	Something in the eyes or mien of this man suggested he might be other than many here; oddly enough, for the venue, I suspected he might once have been no stranger to honor; such I would not have sensed in Seremides.	10
5	87	Perhaps the morning's work of Seremides was of little interest to him, the outcome being a foregone conclusion, or perhaps, merely, he did not care to share, or dabble in, the pleasures of his subordinates.	10
5	88	I wondered if Lord Okimoto had instructed Seremides that survivors were to be put to the sword.	10
5	93	"Are you ready to die?" asked Seremides.	10
5	104	"Five days ago," said Seremides, addressing himself to the seeming rabble about, "without provocation, we were attacked by Cosian pirates, who attempted to burn our ship.	10
5	120	Seremides regarded me, measuring me, and smiled.	10
5	121	Some men enjoy killing, and I did not doubt but what one of these was Seremides, formerly first sword amongst the Taurentians.	10
5	130	"I, Rutilius of Ar," said Seremides, "do not countenance an enemy amongst us.	10
5	131	Who knows whose throat might be cut in his sleep by this sleen? Will you share water and rations, and loot and slaves, with one who would have delivered you to the teeth of flames or the fangs of sharks? Will we have an enemy, a deadly foe, amongst us?" It interested me that Seremides seemed to feel...	10
5	137	I recalled that in Ar, I, and others, in the early morning, had occasionally gathered to watch Seremides make a kill.	10
5	139	"This is the court," said Seremides, "and I am the judge".	10
5	149	Seremides backed away, warily, his weapon poised, the point moving like the head of an excited, coiled ost.	10
5	158	"So," said Lord Nishida, "what is his name?" I looked at Seremides.	10
5	160	Seremides smiled.	10
5	161	Could it be, I asked myself, that it does not truly matter to them that Seremides of Ar might be amongst them? But then I thought, perhaps it does not matter, not here.	10
5	162	Who would act upon such intelligence? To whom would one remand Seremides of Ar? How would one petition for, or collect, the bounty? Who is there to pay, or act in this matter? Information which might mean wealth and power on the continent, information which might put armies on the march, which might...	10
5	163	Indeed, here, some might not even know of Seremides of Ar, and of those who knew some might see their fortunes as best linked to his, particularly if, through his agency, Talena might be found.	10
5	164	Who would be more likely to know the Ubara, her habits, her hiding places, than Seremides of Ar, from whom she had been stolen on the height of the Central Cylinder months ago? I wondered how he came to be on this ship, and for what reason.	10
5	165	I knew the secret of Seremides, but here that knowledge was of little consequence, other than to place my life in jeopardy.	10
5	166	Seremides had little to fear from me now.	10
5	171	Presumably Seremides knew that the former Lady Flavia of Ar was on board.	10
5	179	"This Cosian sleen," said Seremides to Lord Nishida, while not taking his eyes off me, "is an enemy, to be put to death, one who wished us harm, not to be tolerated amongst us".	10
5	181	"I bespeak on behalf of all," said Seremides.	10
5	186	"Did you not say, yesterday," asked Seremides, "that today this Cosian sleen was to die?" "That he was to live, or die," said Lord Nishida.	10
5	187	"That may be easily determined," said Seremides.	10
5	194	Where, within the bars, might a small sleen flee? "Permit me to perform the execution," said Seremides.	10
5	196	"To put to death this enemy," said Seremides.	10
5	198	"Very well," said Seremides, and turned to me.	10
5	201	"Arm him!" said Seremides.	10
5	204	"Arm him!" said Seremides.	10
5	206	"Challenge! Challenge!" cried Seremides.	10
5	210	Seremides himself seemed startled.	10
5	224	Seremides stepped back a pace.	10
5	229	The tarnsman, Tarl Cabot, I gathered, did not know the skills of Seremides.	10
5	234	"A challenge has been issued," said Seremides.	10
5	238	"Prepare to die," said Seremides, "armed or unarmed".	10
5	249	"I do not know this Cosian," said Seremides.	10
5	261	"But," said Seremides, "if he is to crawl amongst us, as the slithering ost, unnoticed but deadly, tiny and poisonous, must he not in some way purchase his passage?" "Yes," said more than one man.	10
5	264	"One purchases one's passage with steel," said Seremides.	10
5	271	"Berths are limited, Cosian," said Seremides.	10
5	358	I looked about, but Seremides had left the deck.	10
7	91	I did not doubt, incidentally, that she had been similarly careless with higher officers, and certainly with Seremides.	10
7	112	Did someone realize her possible political importance? Seremides, perhaps? Or was she confined this deeply within the ship because she had incurred the displeasure of masters, having been apprehended in a lie? She had, it seems, been discovered to be lash-worthy, and had been put under the lash.	10
8	1	The Ice; I Hold Converse with a Slave; Rations Grow Short; I Consider the Matter of Seremides The day was dim and cold.	10
8	235	"Most who could recognize you," I said, "might be unwise to return to Ar, having prices on their own heads, as Seremides".	10
8	238	"Seremides," I said, "is on board".	10
8	257	"Seremides," I said, "knows you are on board".	10
8	301	"Perhaps," she said, "Seremides does not really know I am on board".	10
8	303	"How do you know Seremides knows I am on board?" she asked.	10
8	305	Seremides was amongst them.	10
8	307	Seremides mentioned that he had seen you, and that you looked well in your collar".	10
8	319	Now, a sack of gold might be tied about your neck, as you might be led, naked and bound, leashed, to the impaling pole, the sack to be cut from your neck and given to Seremides, as you are lifted, striving not to move, into public view".	10
8	326	"I wonder where Seremides saw me," she said.	10
8	396	"Why is Seremides on board?" she asked.	10
8	409	"To another," she said, "but I think not to Seremides".	10
8	488	I wondered why Seremides was on board.	10
9	140	I wondered if Tyrtaios or Seremides was involved.	10
9	283	Near the ramp, on its left, I saw Seremides fell a man.	10
9	286	Seremides then was loyal, or not ready, now, to show himself disloyal.	10
9	293	Seremides had his likes and dislikes, however they might be founded, and it was better not to be disliked.	10
9	320	Beside Seremides, near the ramp, was Tyrtaios, who was of the retinue of Lord Nishida.	10
9	368	"Stop!" Seremides, at the foot of the ramp, lifted his sword in salute to Lord Okimoto.	10
9	374	The eyes of Seremides, at the side of the ramp, blazed with delight.	10
9	400	But amongst them as well were landless men, younger sons, men without Home Stones, bandits, pirates, adventurers, soldiers of fortune, thieves, fugitives, wanted men, cutthroats, fugitives from Ar, such as Seremides, and others.	10
9	436	"The attack was well planned, well organized, well coordinated," said Seremides.	10
9	440	"Absurd!" cried Seremides.	10
9	442	"It seems they are slain by now," said Seremides.	10
9	483	"What does it matter," cried Seremides.	10
9	493	Lord Okimoto and Seremides had already departed.	10
12	94	It was clear to me that Seremides, serving in the retinue of Lord Okimoto, as a bodyguard, viewed me as a threat, as I could recognize him from Ar.	10
12	99	I had no reason to believe, however, that this had anything to do with Seremides.	10
12	110	I was careful not to be alone with Seremides, and refrained from entering into converse with him, even when he seemed the most congenial.	10
12	117	His sword, it seemed, stood between Seremides and Callias.	10
12	389	It was Seremides.	10
12	392	It was then I understood that Seremides and Tyrtaios were the deck watch.	10
12	398	Tyrtaios, below, charged that I had gratuitously killed my relief, but he was cautioned to silence by Seremides, who perhaps feared an inquiry.	10
12	401	Seremides drew away from him.	10
12	440	At this point, Seremides approached, Tyrtaios at his back.	10
12	441	"I am pleased to see that you do well, noble Callias," said Seremides.	10
12	447	"A most tragic misunderstanding," said Seremides.	10
12	700	He is Seremides, former master of the Taurentians".	10
12	719	"But I suspect Seremides does not believe me.	10
12	738	"Beware of Seremides," said the tarnsman.	10
12	742	I doubted that I was the less in danger from Seremides, for having forgone the use of a slave.	10
14	1	The Tharlarion; Two Galleys are Lost; I Find Myself Alone with Seremides Oars snapped, and the small galley, the large glistening body rising under it, tipped fearfully to port.	10
14	25	It was captained by Seremides.	10
14	34	"Pull, pull!" screamed Seremides, and I saw his knotted rope fall, again and again, amongst his oarsmen.	10
14	38	Why did they not rise up and attack him? Because, I supposed, he was Seremides.	10
14	43	Was he so importunate and impatient, or was he, rather, anxious to intimidate our captain, Pertinax, the friend of Tarl Cabot? Certainly there were few whom the sword of Seremides, former master of the Taurentians, could not render diffident and complaisant.	10
14	45	Seremides had requisitioned me for his crew, but Cabot had assigned me to that of his friend, Pertinax.	10
14	47	I am not sure that I would have accepted the blows of Seremides.	10
14	53	I guessed that Seremides, who knew my fear of him, knew that, but, still, he would have derived some satisfaction in their administration.	10
14	64	The galley of Seremides, too, paused.	10
14	72	The oars on the galley commanded by Seremides were similarly retracted.	10
14	84	"Out oars!" cried Seremides.	10
14	86	"Wait!" "Out oars!" cried Seremides, angrily, and, his rope falling amongst his oarsmen, the oars of his galley slid outward.	10
14	89	"Pull!" called Seremides, to starboard.	10
14	91	"Pull, pull!" said Seremides, and the ropes attached to his galley, leading back to the great ship, lifted, dripping, from the water.	10
14	93	"Move, fool!" called Seremides.	10
14	95	Seremides' galley began to move toward ours.	10
14	97	"Out oars! Row! Move!" The galley of Seremides kept its original heading, dictated by its towing ropes, while we were still, towing ropes slack, now almost across his bow, rocking in the water.	10
14	100	"Back oars!" cried Seremides, alarmed.	10
14	104	"Fool, fool!" screamed Seremides to Pertinax.	10
14	106	But already the blade of Seremides was free of its sheath, and, his eyes alight with eagerness, he leaped aboard our galley.	10
14	107	I rose at the bench and cried, though it might be insubordination, to Pertinax, "Do not unsheathe your blade!" He slammed the blade, half free, back in its sheath, looked at Seremides before him, unflinching, and said, "Welcome aboard, noble Rutilius".	10
14	108	Seremides cried out with rage, looked about himself, saw that he might have to deal with twenty angry, violent men who would stand with their captain, and returned his weapon to its housing.	10
14	111	"Tell your men to hold, to remain in place," said Seremides, "and we will make test of the matter".	10
14	116	Seremides grinned, stepped back, drew his blade, and set himself, easily, his body swaying a little, with the movement of the vessel.	10
14	120	I do not think that either Seremides or Pertinax noted this.	10
14	121	"Defend yourself," said Seremides.	10
14	123	I sensed that the whole rationality of Seremides was now focused narrowly, exultantly, on the victim before him, that the ship, its discipline, Tarl Cabot, Lords Nishida and Okimoto, the apprehension of the former Lady Flavia of Ar, or even of the former Ubara, Talena, was as though they were not.	10
14	133	I heard a man scream on the galley of Seremides, and he poked upward with his spear.	10
14	135	It then threw its gigantic, massive, glistening body, sharks clinging to it, over the gunwales of the galley of Seremides, pressing it under the waves, men leaping into the sea on either side.	10
14	159	The wreckage of the galley of Seremides seemed farther away now.	10
14	191	Across the space between us I saw Seremides, his eyes on me.	10
14	194	In the water Durbar, the water red about him, gasping, confused, extended his hand to Seremides, who did not accept his hand, perhaps fearing the loss of balance, but motioned him closer.	10
14	195	When Durbar got his hands upon the beams Seremides kicked out, viciously, and Durbar, I think his neck was broken, slipped away, beneath the water.	10
14	196	Seremides stood on the beams, regarding me.	10
14	201	"That is an order!" said Seremides.	10
14	203	Seremides looked about, and then put the knife in his belt, and then, kneeling on the beams, pulled at some floating vinage, and his narrow vessel inched toward me.	10
14	211	I wondered how many men, if about, would welcome this opportunity to do away with Seremides.	10
14	217	Seremides stood up and looked about.	10
14	221	I did not think it wise for Seremides to splash at the side of his support.	10
14	231	"Swim to me," coaxed Seremides.	10
14	238	"So," smiled Seremides, "you are frightened".	10
14	250	But I saw nothing of Seremides.	10
14	253	I forced myself down again and, as I could, circled back, and, after twice emerging amongst the vines, came to some open water, and felt wood, and drew myself, panting, wiping my eyes, onto the two fastened beams which had borne, in turn, Durbar, and Seremides, and now bore me.	10
14	254	I saw nothing of Seremides.	10
14	268	"Help!" I heard, and saw the head of Seremides emerge from the vines.	10
14	273	"Help!" called Seremides.	10
14	276	"All is forgiven!" cried Seremides.	10
14	300	In a flash of thought I recalled Seremides, from a dozen times and places, images rushing upon me, a goblet lifted, a door opened, a hand gesturing, a pen in hand, signing an order, a sword, reddened, held over an adversary's throat in the early morning.	10
14	304	Seremides, former master of the Taurentians, was right-handed.	10
14	317	"Noble Callias!" grinned Seremides, moving a hort closer.	10
14	319	Seremides would not be so foolish as to make a long strike, which might be blocked or intercepted.	10
14	326	"Is anyone there?" Seremides turned white.	10
14	329	"Here! Here!" "Sleen!" hissed Seremides, and, his leisure vanished, he lunged forward, desperately, but the blow was short.	10
14	347	"Aiiii!" I heard, a sudden, startled, weird, hideous cry, and the knife arm, and the head, and the torso of Seremides suddenly disappeared beneath the water, which churned, rocking the mat of vines, lifting and scattering the broad blue and yellow blossoms amongst the foliage.	10
14	352	I saw Seremides emerge then from amidst the vines and blossoms.	10
14	367	In moments I, and two oarsmen, had put Seremides in the ship's boat.	10
14	385	"No," I said, "he is Seremides, he is strong".	10
14	391	Seremides opened his eyes.	10
14	392	They did not seem the eyes of the Seremides I knew.	10
15	2	"Let me alone," said Seremides.	10
15	3	Seremides supported himself with a narrow, sticklike crutch, perhaps a hort in width, at the top of which, fitted over the shaft, was a small, rounded crosspiece.	10
15	5	Lord Okimoto had found Seremides of use earlier in the voyage; his sword had been formidable, and he had muchly facilitated Lord Okimoto's contacts with those of us not of the Pani.	10
15	7	As we feared Seremides, so, too, we were concerned to be found pleasing by Lord Okimoto.	10
15	9	If Seremides disliked you, or was thinking of killing you, it was reasonably clear; indeed, it pleased him that you might suspect such things; but with Tyrtaios, one could not be sure.	10
15	13	Seremides no longer wore the yellow livery of Lord Okimoto, for Lord Okimoto had dismissed him from his service.	10
15	14	Seremides, now, had no master, and no men.	10
15	16	Tyrtaios, who had been of the retinue of Lord Nishida, had now been requisitioned by Lord Okimoto to fulfill the role which had been that of Seremides.	10
15	44	Licinius Lysias, who had survived the sinking of the galleys of Seremides and Pertinax, rose at the bench, and pointed backward, toward the great ship.	10
15	67	"Perhaps you remember me?" said one of the four fellows gathered about an uneasy Seremides on the open deck.	10
15	68	"No," said Seremides, "no!" "You are lying," said the fellow, Tereus.	10
15	69	"No," said Seremides, trying to turn away, but he was held in place.	10
15	70	Seremides was no longer armed, for he was no longer an officer.	10
15	78	"I do not know you!" said Seremides.	10
15	82	Tereus kicked the crutch out from under Seremides and he fell sprawling to the deck, and could not regain his balance.	10
15	84	Seremides reached for the crutch, but Tereus kicked it away from him.	10
15	85	He tried to crawl toward the crutch but was kicked back, and then, the four of them, with belts, and ropes, apparently brought for the purpose, began to belabor him, fiercely, he at their feet, and Seremides began to whimper, and moan, and he folded his body on the deck, drawing up his knees, and co...	10
15	108	Thoas delivered another kick, from which the bent, cringing, knotted body of Seremides recoiled.	10
15	122	The body of Seremides shook with tears.	10
15	127	Seremides, unarmed, no longer whole, clad in a cast-off tunic, cringing, might have been the sorriest beggar in the Metellan district, in Ar.	10
15	132	The body of Seremides shook with weeping.	10
15	133	"You are a man," I said to Seremides.	10
15	177	I turned to face Seremides, crouching on the deck.	10
15	182	"Where has Seremides gone?" I asked.	10
15	192	"Tyrtaios," said Seremides, plaintively, and put his hand out to him.	10
15	208	Frightened, the slave turned, catching sight of me, I think for the first time, and probably, too, the fallen Seremides.	10
15	217	She suddenly caught sight of Seremides, helpless on the deck, unable to rise.	10
15	224	I was not sure she even recognized the handsome, proud, temperamental, dangerous Seremides in this cringing, abject creature half lying before her on the deck.	10
15	228	Indeed, it now seemed the crippled Seremides avoided me.	10
15	232	"You are smiling!" cried Seremides.	10
15	237	I pointed to the crutch which had been kicked across the deck, out of the reach of Seremides.	10
15	239	Alcinoë rose, fetched the crutch, and returned to a place before Seremides, where she knelt and, head down, between her arms, lifted the crutch to him.	10
15	243	I held the crutch, and Seremides could not use it.	10
15	256	"Sleen," said Seremides, "you wanted her to abuse me!" "No," I said.	10
15	261	"Why did you not let me die?" asked Seremides.	10
16	263	I was startled to see Seremides, hobbling on his crutch, near the forward port rail, where fighting had taken place.	10
16	266	As few could not, by simple movement, a subtle alteration of position, a simple variance of attack, quickly dispatch a foe so handicapped, I thought Seremides must be a fellow of great courage, to have dragged himself to the deck, and worked his way, painfully, awkwardly, his body suspended on his c...	10
17	29	I had thought she had behaved well when confronted with the horror of Seremides, but, of late, it seemed she had tried to carry herself as a free woman, that is, as much as possible when one knows there is a collar on one's neck.	10
17	168	As I had frequently served with the commander, largely at his assignment, prior to the fate of Seremides, whom I no longer regarded as a threat, I decided to stand near to him, at the rail.	10
18	134	"Seremides knows," she said, "but is helpless, not to be feared, ruined!" "Even before the Vine Sea," I said, "he knew he could not bring you alone to Ar, for the price on his own head.	10
18	141	"Seremides' interest in you has been long noted, even from early in the voyage, by several, for example by Lords Nishida and Okimoto, and the tarnsman, Cabot.	10
21	33	Whereas Tyrtaios, as of the dismissal of Seremides, was no longer of the retinue of Lord Nishida, but of that of Lord Okimoto, at the latter's request, and was well aware that Lord Okimoto was of subtly higher station than Lord Nishida, he was also well aware, as were most of us, that Lord Okimoto, ...	10
21	120	I heard a scratch and a tap, from my right, some feet along the rail, and saw Seremides bracing himself against the rail, shading his eyes.	10
21	129	I did not doubt but what he might strangle a man with one hand, or, lunging, thrust his crutch through a body, but what I most feared in Seremides was something that had always been there, but had often been overlooked, something intangible, what I could not see, the sinister depth of his character,...	10
21	413	Nearby, standing near the rail, I saw a dark figure, that of Seremides, braced against the rail, the crude, narrow crutch beside him.	10
21	414	When Tyrtaios glanced at him, for Tyrtaios often apprised himself of his surroundings, Seremides looked away, as though concerned to watch the small boats, now about the galley, approach the shore.	10
21	502	Seremides might have arranged that, I supposed.	10
22	20	I heard the poking noise of the crutch of Seremides.	10
23	64	The next day Tereus, violent and distraught, had twice sought out Rutilius of Ar, or Seremides, as I better knew him, goading him, jeering him, apparently tempting him to seize up a weapon, or die.	10
24	111	It suggested that this value might be unrecognized or, more likely, given the interest Seremides had expressed in her, that it was immaterial to the Pani who were seemingly in no need of economic resources, or, at least, of such a kind.	10
24	242	I was sure that Seremides could recognize her, but I doubted that he knew she was about.	10
24	315	Looking up toward the rail from the wharf, I saw Seremides, watching the Pani below.	10
24	319	I thought it wise for Seremides to remain on the ship.	10
24	336	I had turned about, finally, to join others, to make my way upward, when I heard my name called, "Callias!" I turned about, and, to my surprise, one not pleasant, I saw Seremides hobbling toward me, the crutch striking on the wharf planks.	10
24	360	"He was waiting for me," said Seremides.	10
24	362	"He intends to kill me," said Seremides.	10
24	376	"Seremides, afraid?" I said.	10
25	204	"I was betrayed in Ar," she said, "by the traitor, Seremides, by the hateful Flavia of Ar, traitress whom I had befriended, and others, who would turn me over to the forces of revolt, to bargain for their own amnesty or escape".	10
25	296	"Seremides is here," I said.	10
25	336	"Not Seremides!" she said.	10
25	351	"I do not know," said Adraste, "but you failed to sell me for your freedom in Ar!" "You looked well on your knees, at the feet of Seremides," she said, "bound, helpless, waiting, in the rag of a slave!" "You betrayed me!" said Adraste.	10
25	411	"It was with overwhelming pleasure that I, on the command of Seremides, hunted you down in your chambers, where you cowered, alone, unguarded, forsaken, and cast you the rag of a slave, demanding that you strip yourself naked and put it on!" "She-sleen!" cried Adraste.	10
26	247	"But, like Seremides," I said, "he might happen upon you".	10
26	249	"But Seremides," I said, "can scarcely hobble about, and Cabot is much in the mountains, with the tarn cavalry".	10
27	132	He looked across the courtyard, where Seremides, seeing him, quickly, awkwardly, hobbled away.	10
27	141	I watched, to make certain he did not follow Seremides.	10
27	199	I saw Seremides, now again across the courtyard.	10
28	82	I did not think that Cabot was on the grounds, but Seremides surely was.	10
28	108	"And that I," said Alcinoë, "who was second only to the Ubara herself should serve so, as well!" "Perhaps you would prefer to serve the long tables, in the courtyard," I said, "serve, say, Tarl Cabot, if he is there, and Seremides, who may well be there, and others?" "No, Master," said Adraste, q...	10
28	299	I saw Seremides hobble out of the darkness.	10
30	48	When Tereus emerged from the trail, to surrender his weapons, and have his arm stained, Seremides was waiting for him, leaning on his crutch, grinning.	10
30	50	"You would not take me with you," said Seremides.	10
30	52	"How fortunate then," said Seremides, "that I was not with you".	10
30	54	"Here, noble lord," said Seremides to Lord Okimoto, indicating Tereus, "is the leader of the desertion".	10
30	55	Seremides, prior to his crippling in the Vine Sea, had been liaison to Lord Okimoto, a post now held by Tyrtaios.	10
30	56	"If so, Rutilius, half of man," said Lord Okimoto, "what should be done with him?" "I resign that matter cheerfully, noble lord," said Seremides, "to your judgment, or that of the great Lord Temmu".	10
30	58	"Lord?" said Seremides.	10
30	60	"He led, clearly," said Seremides.	10
30	62	"Another?" said Seremides.	10
30	64	"I?" said Seremides, startled, turning white.	10
30	66	"How would you know of it, had you not been involved in the matter?" "If I designed the matter," said Seremides, "why would I betray it, and thus preclude its fruition?" "Perhaps that one you fear might be thereby slain," said Tereus.	10
30	69	"I am loyal!" said Seremides.	10
30	72	"You do me too much credit," said Seremides.	10
30	74	"Who knows what venom you might brew?" "I am innocent!" said Seremides.	10
30	76	"Tereus, Tereus!" insisted Seremides.	10
30	82	"Consider the perfidious Tereus, Lord," said Seremides.	10
30	83	"Do you think, upon reflection, good Tyrtaios," asked Lord Okimoto, "that our friend, Tereus, a simple oarsman, could have managed so much, so well?" "He spoke for the desertion, he led the flight, he was first through the gate," said Seremides.	10
30	88	"No!" said Seremides.	10
30	93	Seremides, angrily, turned and hobbled awkwardly away, the crutch poking at, and dragging in, the dirt.	10
30	104	"Get him drunk," said Seremides.	10
30	110	It is dangerous to be feared by Seremides.	10
30	139	I did not think that Seremides had planned and organized the desertion.	10
30	143	Why should others escape the World's End, if not Seremides? I speculated, of course, that the Pani had independently anticipated, and prepared for, such an exigency.	10
30	145	Seremides had, of course, attempted to use the failure of the desertion, naturally enough, as an opportunity to embroil Tereus, whom he feared, with the Pani.	10
31	37	"They will not act," said Seremides, "until the ship's garrison is withdrawn, to the wharf, or trail".	10
31	41	"Should it not be taken to sea first?" said Seremides.	10
31	44	"Do you have a plan?" asked Seremides.	10
31	72	I had spoken truly to Seremides.	10

45	107	"To the longboat, noble lady," said Seremides, "hasten, hurry to safety, security, honor, privilege, and station!" Talena hesitated, looking from the longboat to Seremides, to Vas of Anango, to the crowd, to the nearing boats, but yards from docking.	10

42	215	I had inadvertently been close to Talena when Seremides had approached her.	10
42	217	Seremides had perhaps indicated to Vas of Anango, his fellow, that I was to be taken in hand.	10
42	226	On this walkway, amongst some men and women, waiting, gathered perhaps for news, was Seremides, Talena, and a slave in the livery of the Golden Chain, holding what appeared to be a flat, soft, folded bundle.	10
42	230	Seremides then, steadied by the crutch under his arm, took the bundle from Euphrosyne, and shook it out, revealing a long, opaque cloak with an attached hood.	10
42	233	As I approached, bent over, perforce, at the side of Vas of Anango, I saw Seremides pass something to Euphrosyne.	10
42	244	Her lips silently framed the question, "Zia?" In the meantime, Seremides had apparently said something to one of the men in the boat because he had ascended to the walkway.	10
42	246	"Be silent," said Seremides.	10
42	249	I was forced to my knees before Seremides, Vas of Anango's hand still in my hair.	10
42	250	"This one," said Vas of Anango, looking about, "shall we kill her now?" "Do not be foolish," said Seremides.	10
42	255	"No," said Seremides.	10
42	258	"Yes," said Seremides, "and thus they witnessed our noble prisoner's humiliation and shame, and perhaps even had the effrontery to think of themselves as her equals.	10
42	268	Thus, I gathered, that the men of Seremides, including Vas of Anango, did not realize the importance of their rescued prisoner, did not understand that they had in hand the fabled, muchly sought Talena, sought by a thousand bounty hunters, she who had once been the Ubara of Ar.	10
42	269	At a gesture from Seremides, Vas of Anango lifted me up, and, with a jangle of bells, cast me into the arms of a fellow on the canal boat.	10
42	270	"Tie her ankles, gag her, and display her," said Seremides.	10
42	279	"Help me on board," said Seremides, "and cast off".	10
43	1	We Seek the Southern Gate; We Encounter Difficulties; A Tumultuous Passage; We Arrive at the Skerry of Lars "Row evenly, lads," said Seremides.	10
43	12	"There is peace at the wall," said Seremides, pleasantly.	10
43	19	What slave would have it otherwise? One of the men in our craft came from the bow, making his way about the low, sunken, closed, canopied area, and stood over Seremides, who was seated rather amidships, somewhat behind the canopied area.	10
43	23	"Even from the strife in Ar," said Seremides, "even from the time of flight and terror, even from the restoration of Marlenus, even from the World's End and back".	10
43	25	"At last," said Seremides.	10
43	27	"One must needs be so," said Seremides.	10
43	29	"What choice had we?" asked Seremides.	10
43	32	"Of course," said Seremides.	10
43	34	"We are underway," said Seremides.	10
43	37	"Traffic sped to the wall," said Seremides.	10
43	40	Occasionally Seremides, smiling, waved to one or another of them.	10
43	46	"Soon lads," said Seremides, calling to the rowers, "we will be at the Southern Gate, and from thence to the Skerry of Lars, near which a swift, ready vessel, foreign and unmarked, awaits".	10
43	48	"Hear that, fellows?" called Seremides.	10
43	53	"As much so for others as for us," said Seremides.	10
43	57	"Do not dally," said Seremides.	10
43	60	"What?" said Seremides.	10
43	62	Seremides struggled up, supported by the heavy crutch.	10
43	65	"It casts its moorings!" "Just now?" asked Seremides.	10
43	67	"How do you know?" asked Seremides.	10
43	70	"So?" asked Seremides.	10
43	72	"Who would wait?" said Seremides.	10
43	75	"I brook no interference," said Seremides.	10
43	77	"Do so, and die," said Seremides, removing the hitherto concealed wicked short sword from beneath his cloak.	10
43	79	"I fear we are their business," snarled Seremides, lifting his sword to the man's throat.	10
43	82	"Shall I thrust?" inquired Seremides.	10
43	84	"If all goes well, reluctant one, you need not fight," said Seremides.	10
43	88	Seremides turned to Vas of Anango, at the tiller.	10
43	89	"You, tarsk of Anango," said Seremides, "will follow my directions explicitly, immediately".	10
43	90	Vas of Anango growled something back to Seremides, which I took to be a token of begrudged understanding and agreement.	10
43	92	"Press on," said Seremides.	10
43	96	"Stroke, stroke!" screamed Seremides.	10
43	101	"Press on!" said Seremides.	10
43	103	"Are you mad?" said Seremides.	10
43	106	"You have dealt with my enemies," said Seremides.	10
43	117	"I am now captain," said Seremides.	10
43	126	"Shear!" screamed Seremides a moment later to Vas of Anango.	10
43	133	"Nor others, as well!" said Seremides.	10
43	135	"To the Southern Gate!" said Seremides.	10
43	137	"She blocks the gate!" "Strong oars, fellows!" cried Seremides.	10
43	139	"The gate is blocked!" "Hold your course, or die," said Seremides.	10
43	141	"They may or may not, as they please," said Seremides.	10
43	145	"Stroke!" cried Seremides.	10
43	148	They call your bluff! They do not draw aside! Back oars! They remain in place!" "On!" said Seremides.	10
43	151	There will be kindling in the water, glad feasting for sharks!" "Stroke!" cried Seremides.	10
43	159	"Well done, lads," cried Seremides.	10
43	169	"Do not fear her," said Seremides.	10
43	176	Spray was whipped by the angry wind, and lashed the oarsmen and we who were behind the canopied area, Seremides, myself, and Vas of Anango.	10
43	183	"It is as dangerous to go back as forward," shouted Seremides.	10
43	185	"Ask my sword, and weigh its response," said Seremides.	10
43	187	"Turn back then, to decorate an impaling post," said Seremides.	10
43	189	"Yes," said Seremides.	10
43	194	Seremides hesitated, and then said, quickly, "We rescue a high-born maid of Cos, even a cousin to great Lurius of Jad".	10
43	196	"Great Lurius will pay well for her safe return," said Seremides.	10
43	204	"We shall let great Lurius decide," said Seremides.	10
43	208	I was sure, as well, that this was recognized by Seremides.	10
43	210	"True," agreed Seremides, apparently unconcerned, squinting his eyes against the rain.	10
43	213	"Rejoice," said Seremides.	10
43	219	"You are shivering," said Seremides.	10
43	227	"I will take the tiller," said Seremides.	10
43	230	"Do not concern yourself," said Seremides.	10
43	241	If they are not men, how can we be women? If they are not master, how can we be slave?" Seremides pulled himself to the tiller.	10
43	244	"Solicitation," asked Vas of Anango, "for a slave?" "As for a sleen or kaiila," said Seremides.	10
43	259	Twice I heard Seremides call, "Pause, wait, be ready, lads, now, now stroke," when, I suppose, the rhythm of the oars had begun to lapse from some desiderated regularity.	10
43	260	I heard Seremides once inquire as to pursuit.	10
43	262	"Watch for the pier lantern of the Skerry of Lars," said Seremides.	10
43	268	Outside, and above, presumably on the pier, I heard Seremides say, presumably to a confederate who had been awaiting our arrival, "Raise a blue lantern and a yellow lantern, on the pier pole".	10
43	272	"It will come," said Seremides.	10
43	274	"We are met," said Seremides.	10
43	276	"It is there," said Seremides.	10
43	280	"They have a glass of the Builders," said Seremides.	10
43	284	"She approaches," said Seremides, "as silent as the sea sleen".	10
43	285	"Should not your lads be rewarded?" asked a voice, that which I had taken as that of a confederate of Seremides.	10
43	287	"I have no objection," said Seremides.	10
43	291	"Are you not going along?" asked Seremides.	10
