"They are rather like stable sluts?" asked Tajima. |
10 |
| 12 | 245 |
She was now, technically, a stable slut. |
10 |
| 15 | 124 |
"You might enjoy seeing her as a naked, collared stable slut," I said. |
10 |
| 15 | 132 |
"From what I understand," I said, "that slavery, that of a stable slut, is an appropriate, excellent slavery for her". |
10 |
| 15 | 181 |
"Oh, yes," he laughed, "anything to escape the stable, the collar! For that what sacrifice would she not make? Even that of becoming what she hitherto most despised, a wife, or companion!" "No, Master," said Cecily. |

Fighting Continues; We Report to Lord Nishida; The Stable I brought the tarn down, to the field of training, followed by Tajima and Pertinax, and Ichiro, my first, or lead, signalman. |
10 |
| 18 | 428 |
"The stable slut?" I said. |
10 |
| 18 | 433 |
"No, Lord," said Pertinax, "I have not seen her since the pavilion, when you remanded her to the tharlarion stable". |
10 |
| 18 | 452 |
"I am sure the grooms in the stable have seen to that. |
10 |
| 18 | 483 |
"Do you think," asked Lord Nishida, "that the slave, Saru, is ready to leave the stable?" "I am sure of it," I said. |
10 |
| 18 | 484 |
"I am confident she will be eager to leave the stable, and will strive desperately, in all ways, to avoid being returned to it". |
10 |
| 18 | 535 |
"It seems urts have been discovered in the stable," said Tajima. |
10 |
| 18 | 537 |
From where we stood we could see the lumbering bulks of crowded tharlarion, buffeting one another, moving from the stable. |
10 |
| 18 | 541 |
"Margaret! Margaret!" cried Pertinax, wildly, and, turning about, ran toward the stable. |
10 |
| 18 | 544 |
Tajima and I then, following Pertinax, hurried toward the stable. |
10 |
| 19 | 8 |
The stable had its strong, distinctive odor. |
10 |
| 19 | 45 |
"Do not enter the stable," I warned Pertinax. |
10 |
| 19 | 60 |
"What might you do, if you were they? Too, Saru is presumably within the stable, and, I am confident, alive, as she is a slave. |
10 |
| 19 | 175 |
"No," I said, loudly enough to be heard within the stable. |
10 |
| 19 | 178 |
The men about looked at me, puzzled, and disappointed, some angrily, or reproachfully, but I waved them back, away from the stable. |
10 |
| 19 | 180 |
I did not suppose that any foe within would be so simple as to suppose we thought the stable empty, as no search had been made. |
10 |
| 19 | 182 |
Torches, in particular, would not be practical as a single torch, fallen into the straw, would result in the loss of the stable, and its housing for several tharlarion. |
10 |
| 19 | 186 |
Once withdrawn I stationed my men about the stable, encircling it fully, lest any makeshift exit be attempted. |
10 |
| 19 | 192 |
"I am going into the stable," said Pertinax. |
10 |
| 19 | 216 |
"There will then be sufficient light, even within the stable". |
10 |
| 19 | 229 |
Shortly, even before the third fire was burning, there was movement within the stable as I had hoped and several foes, concealed within, realizing their danger, and the greater danger of morning, rushed outward, to slip away before the entire area might be illuminated. |

I had taken the report of the last watch, and no one had exited the stable. |
10 |

"You are going to enter the stable," he said. |
10 |
| 20 | 30 |
"Why will you enter the stable?" asked Tajima. |
10 |
| 20 | 43 |
He had then, it seemed, with several others, taken refuge in the stable, doubtless first urging others to loose tharlarion and attempt to escape in the confusion, an attempt in which he had apparently declined to participate, preferring to remain concealed, planning to make away in the darkness. |
10 |
| 20 | 45 |
It was not certain, however, that he was within the stable. |
10 |
| 20 | 50 |
"I do not urge this," said Tajima, "but would it not be wise to enter the stable in force?" "It would be better to first reconnoiter," I said. |
10 |
| 20 | 72 |
There was a musty odor in the stable, and the strong smell of tharlarion dung. |
10 |
| 20 | 103 |
Had Pertinax rushed forward he would have been exposed to side fire, and, if he entered far enough into the stable, might have been hit in the back. |
10 |
| 20 | 112 |
There were five foes in the stable, two to each side, a bit back, and one at the center and rear. |
10 |
| 20 | 115 |
The fellow toward the back of the stable, who had fired the quarrel, was Licinius Lysias, he of Turmus. |
10 |
| 20 | 165 |
The voice had a ring, from the walls of the stable. |
10 |
| 20 | 176 |
There was then the clash of blades, briefly, fiercely, and I entered the stable, rushing within, followed closely by Tajima and Pertinax. |
10 |
| 20 | 180 |
A body lay to our left, a quarrel's fins protruding from its chest, and, toward the back of the stable, three other bodies lay, one still squirming. |
10 |

"Saru, I understand," I said, "is finished in the stable. |
10 |
| 22 | 213 |
"You have learned the lessons of the stable, I trust," I said to the slave. |
10 |
| 22 | 215 |
"Do you wish to be returned to the stable?" "No, Master!" she said softly, quickly. |
10 |
| 22 | 248 |
I recalled the fellows in the stable, his own cohorts, whom I had set to secure him, one struck by a quarrel, but three felled by steel. |
10 |
| 22 | 259 |
"I accorded you an opportunity," I said, "to come forth from the stable, disarmed, and depart in peace". |

10 |

There seemed little point now in denying her garmenture, as she had, by now, presumably, been properly instructed as to the nonacceptability of her former attitudes and behaviors, now that she had learned the lessons of the stable, now that she had begun to understand what it was to have a collar on... |
10 |
| 22 | 534 |
I recalled how she had wanted him to call upon her in the stable, and recalled that he had not chosen to do so. |
10 |
| 22 | 635 |
"She smells of the stable," I said. |
10 |
| 22 | 648 |
Pertinax went to the wall of the stable, and, in fury, sobbing, struck it with his fists. |
10 |
| 23 | 23 |
I saw she was reluctant to approach Pertinax, which was not surprising, given certain occurrences of the preceding evening, near the stable. |
