10 |
| 29 | 1661 |
The coins of Hendow the stranger had given to Mirus. |
10 |
| 30 | 36 |
About the fire, were the stranger, still masked, and, unarmed, Callisthenes and Sempronius. |
10 |
| 30 | 48 |
The stranger had now screwed shut the lid on the bota. |
10 |
| 30 | 54 |
I had wondered if the stranger had permitted Callisthenes and Sempronius to feed us, half-naked slaves, in order to have them in proximity to us, whom they might not touch, as a torture for them, Gorean males. |
10 |
| 30 | 63 |
It was his intention that I should be hot, and open, to him! I must resist! I must try to resist! What if the stranger should see! But men had changed my body. |
10 |
| 30 | 81 |
I must try not to hear them! What pleasure she must be enduring! Perhaps the stranger did not recognize me? "Oh!" I said, suddenly, softly. |
10 |
| 30 | 84 |
"Is she satisfactory?" asked the stranger, standing behind Sempronius. |
10 |
| 30 | 85 |
I looked up, wildly, at the stranger. |
10 |
| 30 | 87 |
The stranger held, coiled in his right hand, a slave whip. |
10 |
| 30 | 90 |
I knew then that the stranger would whip me if I were not pleasing. |
10 |
| 30 | 102 |
Callisthenes and Sempronius apparently held the keys to our bracelets! How gracious of the stranger! I was frightened, for I sensed that my responses were beginning to become uncontrollable. |
10 |
| 30 | 103 |
I reared up a little, and saw, to my relief, that the stranger was back with Mirus and Tupita. |
10 |
| 30 | 115 |
The stranger had returned. |
10 |
| 30 | 122 |
The stranger did not return later to ascertain again for himself the adequacy of my yieldings. |
10 |
| 30 | 127 |
The keys to these bracelets were given to the stranger. |
10 |
| 30 | 140 |
"In that direction," said the stranger, addressing himself to Mina, Cara and Tela, Mina and Cara in their chains, Tela with her wrists braceleted behind her, "lies the Viktel Aria. |
10 |
| 30 | 152 |
"I am sure," said the stranger, "that you will both make lovely camp slaves". |
10 |
| 30 | 160 |
"You do not know what became of the rest of us," said the stranger, warningly. |
10 |
| 30 | 170 |
The stranger then stood before me. |
10 |
| 31 | 44 |
"Excellent," said the stranger to Tupita. |
10 |
| 31 | 49 |
The stranger then picked up a tiny piece of food from his plate and indicated that I should lean forward. |
10 |
| 31 | 64 |
I was particularly pleased to do them before the stranger. |
10 |
| 31 | 69 |
I wanted to hurry about the fire, and throw myself on my belly before the stranger, tears in my eyes, covering his feet and ankles with kisses, his helpless slave, begging his touch. |
10 |
| 31 | 73 |
"My friend," said the stranger to Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 77 |
"She is pretty, isn't she?" asked the stranger. |
10 |
| 31 | 79 |
"I mean the other one," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 31 | 83 |
"Put your shoulders back, thrust out your breasts, girl," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 31 | 85 |
"Yes, she," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 31 | 90 |
The stranger then took a length of binding fiber from his wallet and walked about the fire. |
10 |
| 31 | 108 |
If this were some plan on the part of the stranger and him presumably he would not have asked this question. |
10 |
| 31 | 110 |
"Master, may I speak?" I asked the stranger. |
10 |
| 31 | 113 |
I then realized that this must be some scheme into which she had entered with the stranger. |
10 |
| 31 | 117 |
He had watched the stranger place, pull tight and knot the cords. |
10 |
| 31 | 121 |
He was clearly no stranger to the binding of women. |
10 |
| 31 | 122 |
The stranger then returned to his place on the other side of the fire, where he sat down, cross-legged. |
10 |
| 31 | 125 |
The stranger closed it. |
10 |
| 31 | 126 |
Mirus looked at the stranger. |
10 |
| 31 | 133 |
"Please him," said the stranger to me, indicating Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 135 |
The stranger looked at me. |
10 |
| 31 | 138 |
"What?" asked the stranger. |
10 |
| 31 | 142 |
Surely she, of all people, would not desire that! "Must a command be repeated?" inquired the stranger. |
10 |
| 31 | 149 |
I looked back, at the stranger, frightened. |
10 |
| 31 | 150 |
"Very well," said the stranger, to Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 152 |
I realized now what the plan of Tupita and the stranger must have been. |
10 |
| 31 | 163 |
The plan, then, of Tupita and the stranger had been a simple one, involving the utilization of a common biological universal, the placatory behaviors of the errant female before the dominant male. |
10 |
| 31 | 168 |
"You do not mind, do you?" asked the stranger, "if she performs for the rest of us?" "Of course not," said Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 198 |
I wanted so to please the stranger. |
10 |
| 31 | 200 |
"Your legs are short," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 31 | 205 |
I saw from the stranger's eyes that I was to particularly dance myself to Mirus. |
10 |
| 31 | 219 |
Sometimes, too, I tried to dance before the stranger, but his eyes would inform me that it was before Mirus that I was to dance slave beauty. |
10 |
| 31 | 226 |
"She is sorry! She begs forgiveness!" I looked to the stranger, in his mask, from where I lay. |
10 |
| 31 | 244 |
Could he mean that the stranger had put claim upon me, and that it was to his whip that I was now subject? But, of course, he may have meant only that I belonged to Ionicus of Cos. |
10 |
| 31 | 363 |
I looked to the stranger. |
10 |
| 32 | 21 |
Most of the coins and valuables which had fallen to the stranger as sword loot he had divided with Mirus. |

10 |
| 1 | 205 |
"What is your name?" asked the stranger. |
10 |
| 1 | 210 |
"Yes," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 1 | 224 |
"Would you like a name?" asked the stranger. |
10 |
| 1 | 231 |
"I understand so," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 1 | 233 |
"You had a name in your former life," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 1 | 239 |
"Is she any good?" asked the stranger. |
10 |
| 1 | 253 |
She knelt at the side of the table, rather before the stranger. |
10 |
| 1 | 262 |
She pressed the metal of the goblet to her waist, and then, gently, but unmistakably, to her breasts, after which she lifted the goblet, regarding the stranger, frightened, over its rim. |
10 |
| 1 | 263 |
She then kissed the goblet, and licked it for a moment with her small tongue, and then kissed it again, tenderly, lingeringly, supplicatingly, and then lowered her head between her extended arms, lifting the goblet to the stranger. |
10 |
| 1 | 264 |
The stranger took the goblet, and regarded the girl. |
10 |
| 1 | 268 |
Commonly, in nadu, the head is up, the gaze straight ahead, that the beauty of her features be displayed, and that she be in a position to better detect the slightest nuances of her master, either in tone or expression, but neither the taverner nor the stranger exacted this small adjustment. |
10 |
| 1 | 270 |
"I think," said the stranger, "I shall name her". |
10 |
| 1 | 273 |
"Let her, for the time," said the stranger, "be Talena". |
10 |
| 1 | 373 |
The stranger smiled, and quaffed his paga, then put down the goblet on the splintered table. |
10 |
| 1 | 403 |
"Girl," said the stranger to the slave. |
10 |
| 1 | 415 |
"I have seen Talena," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 1 | 421 |
"I have," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 1 | 423 |
"—on the ship of Tersites," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 1 | 425 |
"Yes," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 1 | 427 |
"More paga," said the stranger to the girl, extending the damp, empty goblet to her. |
10 |
| 1 | 429 |
In a few moments the stranger had renewed his paga, and looked about himself. |
10 |
| 1 | 435 |
"What lovely hair she has," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 1 | 446 |
"You have sweet thighs," said the stranger to the girl. |
10 |
| 1 | 476 |
"Let her stay," said the stranger". |
10 |
| 1 | 488 |
Too, she may have wished, nude and collared, to remain in the presence of the stranger. |
10 |
| 1 | 490 |
Too, she may have read something in the eyes of the stranger, when he had looked upon her, which shook her to the core. |
10 |
| 1 | 494 |
"Of course," said the stranger, "she is to be bound, hand and foot". |
10 |
| 1 | 498 |
At a gesture from the stranger to the taverner's man the slave, nude, bound, and kneeling, was thrust back a little, a foot or two, rather outside the pool of light, rather into the shadowed darkness, presumably that her presence might be less obtrusive, and that she would better know herself for wh... |
10 |
| 1 | 501 |
"I sailed on the great ship," said the stranger. |
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 |
| 7 | 185 |
Andronicus was no stranger to the Second Knowledge. |
10 |
| 12 | 348 |
By the time the stranger had got his feet under him and was able to stand, the knife would be in his hand. |
10 |
| 15 | 212 |
It is very different from a private slave, who is likely to live a life closely intertwined with that of her master, one in which she is no stranger to his table and his furs, one in which she is frequently well apprised of the warmth of his arms and the weight of his chains. |
10 |
| 33 | 5 |
It was to this tavern the stranger, haggard, destitute, in his rags, in his soiled mariner's cap, had come, and regaled us with a story, however far-fetched. |
10 |
| 33 | 8 |
"You are a liar," said the proprietor to the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 11 |
The stranger smiled, as though discovered. |
10 |
| 33 | 13 |
The stranger took no offense. |
10 |
| 33 | 15 |
I saw, clearly, that the stranger had not expected to be believed, and was not concerned that he had been found out, had he been found out. |
10 |
| 33 | 32 |
She had been brought to the table, last night, to serve the stranger paga. |
10 |
| 33 | 41 |
"Is this not an attractive barbarian?" I asked the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 55 |
"I understand," said the stranger to the slave, "that you have not been named". |
10 |
| 33 | 64 |
I saw they were indeed unfamiliar to the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 69 |
"He is a Scribe," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 83 |
"She seems to me quite intelligent," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 99 |
"Intelligence is often associated with the intensity of slave fires," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 107 |
"Touch her," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 120 |
"Touch her," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 144 |
"You are the first who has done so, on this world!" "He is privy to the second knowledge," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 179 |
"No less!" The stranger laughed. |
10 |
| 33 | 190 |
"My thanks," I said to the stranger, "for your unusual tale". |
10 |
| 33 | 192 |
I looked down at the table, where the two quarrels, fired by the Assassins, had struck the wood, piercing it, scattering splinters about, when the stranger had interposed it between himself and their missiles. |
10 |
| 33 | 195 |
"But then," said the stranger, "the tale would be true". |
10 |
| 33 | 211 |
"Then," said the stranger, "you are a fool. |
10 |
| 33 | 224 |
"You found the slave attractive," I said to the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 260 |
Who can understand such things? How piteously, how zealously, I thought, the girl had begged to be purchased! And how well, I thought, would my collar look on the neck of that slave! "And how would you keep her?" asked the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 268 |
Several of us, who had listened through the night, bade the stranger a hale farewell. |
10 |
| 33 | 270 |
"Would you believe your story?" asked a fellow of the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 273 |
"Probably not then, either," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 278 |
The stranger and I were then alone, on the street, before the tavern. |
10 |
| 33 | 279 |
"Come with me," I said to the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 298 |
"I hear the bar," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 301 |
"Is it an alarm?" asked the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 309 |
"Is the signal commonly so vigorous?" asked the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 314 |
"Surely it is an alarm," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 318 |
"It sounds like no simple announcement to me," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 327 |
The stranger and I were jostled. |
10 |
| 33 | 333 |
"Could it be the ship of Tersites?" I asked the stranger, though he, of course, was in no position to see better than I, from our current position. |
10 |
| 33 | 340 |
"Aii!" cried the stranger, as we surmounted a small rise, and then had the piers below us, and before us. |
10 |
| 33 | 344 |
"I have," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 33 | 353 |
"That," I said, turning to the stranger, "is a ship from the World's End". |
10 |
| 33 | 354 |
"It is," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 4 |
"Yes," had said the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 9 |
"Wait!" I cautioned the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 27 |
I looked to the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 30 |
"Yes," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 31 |
I recalled that last night the stranger had alluded to this matter. |
10 |
| 35 | 33 |
"What is such a ship doing here, in Brundisium?" I asked the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 46 |
"Almost certainly," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 49 |
"Of far and strange things," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 51 |
"I have gathered so," said the stranger, "long ago, by the intervention of Priest-Kings". |
10 |
| 35 | 56 |
"I do not know," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 58 |
"It is Demetrion!" "Who is Demetrion?" asked the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 63 |
The guardsmen had rather followed Demetrion's party, for which, I gathered, they had been waiting, and this permitted the stranger and myself, and the crowd, generally, to proceed several yards further down the pier. |
10 |
| 35 | 86 |
"I know him," said the stranger to me. |
10 |
| 35 | 91 |
"Enough," I asked, "to hire Assassins?" The stranger looked at me, startled. |
10 |
| 35 | 94 |
The stranger pressed back, unwilling, I gathered, to be noted. |
10 |
| 35 | 99 |
"I think so," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 117 |
To my surprise, the stranger left my side, and slipped, unprevented, between the guardsmen, retrieved the sack, assured himself, it seemed, of its weight, which was apparently impressive, and climbed up the gangplank. |
10 |
| 35 | 120 |
The stranger, at the head of the gangplank, held out the sack of coin to the angular fellow, who had cast it to the feet of Demetrion. |
10 |
| 35 | 124 |
"This sack, I take it," said the stranger, "contains ten tarn disks, of double weight". |
10 |
| 35 | 126 |
The stranger then removed one such disk from the sack, and held it up. |
10 |
| 35 | 129 |
The stranger then handed the sack, less the single tarn disk, to the angular warrior, who replaced it in his sash. |
10 |
| 35 | 130 |
The stranger then tossed the single coin which had been extracted from the sack to the planks at the feet of Demetrion, who swiftly reached down, and snatched it up. |
10 |
| 35 | 139 |
"I am Nakamura," said the angular fellow, presumably an officer, certainly a warrior, to the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 140 |
The stranger bowed, which gesture of greeting was returned by the officer, Nakamura. |
10 |
| 35 | 141 |
"I do not know you," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 143 |
"You have come to Brundisium," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 146 |
"You know me, then," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 149 |
"Scarcely by myself," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 151 |
"I fear so," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 153 |
"I regret his displeasure," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 155 |
"I am sure of it," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 35 | 157 |
"You have been successful," said the stranger. |

The Warehouse; The Encounter with Cineas, the Agent of Tyrtaios; The Gift of Lord Nishida and Tarl Cabot, Tarnsman It was now four days following the docking of the Pani ship, the River Dragon, and the stranger and I, invited by Captain Nakamura and the harbor master, Demetrion, who now seemed on s... |
10 |
| 36 | 26 |
The stranger and I, it may be recalled, had been invited to the warehouse by Demetrion, the harbor master, and Captain Nakamura, captain of the River Dragon, now wharfed nearby. |
10 |
| 36 | 28 |
Demetrion knew little more of the stranger, the Cosian, Callias of Jad, than the fact that he may have cost the harbor, or, better, its administration, a number of golden tarn disks, of double weight. |
10 |
| 36 | 34 |
"Neither am I," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 36 |
"He has been seen with me," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 39 |
"Give me a sword," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 41 |
It was not a Pani sword, but a gladius, a weapon with which, I took it, the stranger would be familiar. |
10 |
| 36 | 43 |
The stranger smiled, and turned to me, who stood at the foot of the gangway. |
10 |
| 36 | 47 |
"The harbor office will know his residence," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 49 |
But the stranger had already descended the gangplank. |
10 |
| 36 | 52 |
* * * * Demetrion, the harbor master, had been with the captain, the stranger and myself, on the floor of the large, crowded warehouse, but Demetrion now excused himself, being anxious, one supposed, to do some looking about, and trading himself. |
10 |
| 36 | 53 |
"You wished to see me?" said the stranger to Nakamura, captain of the River Dragon. |
10 |
| 36 | 54 |
Captain Nakamura glanced to me, politely, but the stranger encouraged him, saying that he might speak in my presence. |
10 |
| 36 | 56 |
"I have not sold the blade yet," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 58 |
"I have remained in seclusion for four days," said the stranger, "and am now invited to the warehouse". |
10 |
| 36 | 63 |
"Eluded?" asked the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 66 |
"Why?" asked the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 78 |
The stranger did not seem surprised at this report. |
10 |
| 36 | 81 |
"A personal enmity, or resentment, may have been involved there," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 93 |
"His loss could be grievous," said the stranger, "as Tyrtaios was a high officer in the resistance, knows much of its organization, and is familiar with the defenses of the castle of Lord Temmu. |
10 |
| 36 | 99 |
"I would suppose not," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 105 |
"This was the man, Cineas?" said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 108 |
"That," smiled the stranger, "was to be my reward". |
10 |
| 36 | 110 |
"He seemed amiable enough," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 116 |
"Nor will they," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 119 |
"You are in danger," I said to the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 128 |
"Cineas," said the stranger, "may not even know they failed". |
10 |
| 36 | 131 |
"I know him," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 135 |
"What was the fee?" asked the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 145 |
"The cove was empty," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 148 |
"Assassins now seek Cineas?" said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 151 |
"It seems then," I said to the stranger, "that you have nothing to fear". |
10 |
| 36 | 155 |
"When one learns that," said the stranger, "that one is sought, by the black caste, it is often too late". |
10 |
| 36 | 157 |
"In any event," said the captain to the stranger, "I would not yet sell my sword". |
10 |
| 36 | 158 |
"I understand," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 160 |
"True," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 193 |
"I am pleased," said the stranger, "to have had conveyed to me the greetings of Lord Nishida and Tarl Cabot, commander of the tarn cavalry". |
10 |
| 36 | 209 |
"And, if it returned," said the stranger, "would it not again face the torches of the castle?" "Of course," said the captain. |
10 |
| 36 | 212 |
"True," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 214 |
"Yes," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 217 |
"Of course," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 220 |
"What would you have done?" asked the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 223 |
"I see," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 225 |
"Yes," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 229 |
"I have seen him," said the stranger. |
10 |
| 36 | 234 |
"We put out word in the city," said the stranger, "here and there, that Callias, of Cos, would frequent these premises sometime today". |
10 |
| 36 | 238 |
"I am pleased," said the stranger. |
