9	75	"There, bold Tarnsman," she said, "I will teach you how to keep a prisoner.	10
9	82	"So," she said contemptuously, "that is how a Warrior tarnsman treats the daughter of a rich merchant?" I rolled onto the ground, turning away from her, unable to sleep.	10
9	135	"She is undoubtedly in the Pleasure Gardens of the boldest tarnsman on Gor," laughed the warrior.	10

14	89	One tarnsman leveled a crossbow, and in that instant I hurled the lance and he toppled backward, the shaft of the weapon protruding from his chest, the bolt from his crossbow ricocheting from the rock above my head with a flash of sparks.	10

14	149	Then the tarnsman saw me and shouted in rage, drawing his sword.	10
14	152	In a moment, given the wild motion of the bird, the entire saddle, to which the tarnsman was fixed by the saddle straps, slid from the bird's back and flew wildly into the depths below.	10
14	153	I heard the scream of the tarnsman and then the sudden silence.	10
14	154	The other tarnsman would be alerted now.	10

15	168	"The young tarnsman plays the game well," he said.	10
15	211	"Perhaps," suggested Mintar, "the young tarnsman might attend to the matter of Talena, daughter of Marlenus".	10
15	231	"And rumor has it," said Mintar, not looking up from the board, "that she pledged herself to Pa-Kur only that some tarnsman she loved might be given a small chance of life".	10
15	264	"A merchant may be as brave as a warrior, young Tarnsman," smiled Mintar.	10

14	8	Hideous though the death might seem to the silver masks of Tharna, they did not know that I was a tarnsman, and knew these birds, their power, their ferocity; that in my way I loved them; and that as a warrior I would not find a death by tarn ignoble.	10
14	51	My nostrils drank in the wild, strong odor of the tarn, so offensive to some, yet an ambrosia to the nostrils of the tarnsman.	10

3	119	To my surprise, the Player chose the withdrawal of Ubara's Spearman to cover Ubar Two, which seemed to me rather defensive, and surely cost him the possibility of a dangerous but promising counterattack, which would eventually, if all went well, culminate with his second tarnsman at his opponent's I...	10

7	44	If the basket is merely carried, and the tarn cannot be controlled from the basket, then the tarn wears the tarn saddle and is controlled by a tarnsman.	10
7	51	We flew for perhaps an Ahn and then, following a lead tarnsman, dipped and, one at a time, the others circling, landed on a rocky shelf on the side of a steep cliff, apparently no different from dozens of other such shelves we had already passed, save that this shelf, due to an overhang of the cliff...	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

11	1083	Four caravans had fallen spoils to the fierce, swiftly striking tarnsman of Treve.	10
11	1096	The element of the tarnsman is not the green glades, and the branches; it is the clouds, the saddle and the sky; his steed is the tarn, his field of battle, strewn with light and wind, higher than mountains, deeper than the sea, is the very sky itself.	10
11	1117	It was said that he was a fierce, long-haired man, a tarnsman, a warrior.	10

1	1051	It also makes possible a positioning move, if it be desired, for the Ubar's Tarnsman.	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

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	280	A Spearman who attains the rear rank of the enemy has the option of being promoted, if promotion is desired, to either a Tarnsman or a Rider of the High Tharlarion.	10

13	198	"It is a pleasure for a tarnsman to have his tarn seize in its talons a woman and carry her off, or he may prefer the use of a slave net or a capture loop.	10
13	203	Supposedly the tarnsman might thus be lured to the pursuit of an identifiably delightful quarry, something obviously worth owning, as opposed to a free woman who might, when stripped, prove to be as ugly as a tharlarion".	10
13	216	If the choice is between you and a free woman, the tarnsman will almost certainly notice that you, as your gown is sleeveless, are almost certainly slave, and will thus, presumably, go after the free woman.	10
13	223	"To be sure," said Laura, "if a tarnsman did settle for you, I do not think that afterwards, when he had you squirming naked in his ropes, bound hand and foot, he would be at all disappointed with the nature of his catch".	10
13	324	"Good for you!" cried one of the girls to the speeding tarnsman.	10
13	351	The tarnsman then regarded the cluster of slaves on the roof.	10
13	358	The tarnsman grinned.	10

13	401	"May I present Lady Temesne?" inquired the tarnsman.	10
13	412	The tarnsman then, to the gratification of Lady Temesne, opened the sack, and she began to crawl hurriedly from it, but her gratification was short-lived, as he took her by the hair, when her feet were still tangled in the mesh, and pressed her down on her stomach on the roof, and then knelt across ...	10
13	444	The tarnsman raised his hand, saluting the flights as they passed.	10
13	448	There are normally two or four rings fastened at the sides of a tarnsman's saddle, one or two on each side.	10
13	461	The tarnsman crouched down beside Laura and, with a length of binding fiber, crossed her wrists and bound them together before her body.	10
13	503	Whatever it was, it was in the hands of the tarnsman from Brundisium.	10
15	522	Briefly there flashed through her mind the tarnsman from Brundisium who, apparently enamored of a free woman, had taken a different action, seizing the woman, to make her his slave, she then to be herself perhaps no more to him than a paga girl.	10
16	566	She recalled the woman seized by the tarnsman from Brundisium and wondered if she, too, had once been carried in such a palanquin.	10
20	295	One of the tarnsman, aflight, was within fifty feet of her.	10
20	301	Moving in the basket, facing forward, peering again through the wicker, she saw the first tarnsman who had approached the train swoop beneath it, beat his way forward, and then seize the long rope dangling better than a hundred feet from the harness of the first tarn, that which had been the fourth ...	10
20	304	Turning about, Ellen saw the second tarnsman was now following the last tarn, and was some fifty to seventy yards behind it.	10
20	305	The first tarnsman turned the train westward.	10
20	338	The following tarnsman had been he who had cried out.	10
20	344	"Away!" cried the tarnsman, brandishing his lance.	10
20	346	"Go away! Be off!" cried the tarnsman.	10
20	356	What then? The tarn suddenly uttered a weird screaming sound and swooped downward, its talons open, grasping, toward the following tarnsman who, turning in the saddle, angrily, thrust up at it with his lance, and withdrew the lance from the feathers dark with blood.	10
20	358	"Begone!" cried the tarnsman.	10
20	359	"It is coming again!" cried the leading tarnsman who had freed the rope from his pommel, swung about, and set an arrow to a small saddle bow, used for clearing the saddle, firing to either side.	10
20	361	This time the tarn, fiercely, perhaps in rage, in pain, hurled itself downward on the following tarnsman.	10
20	363	But the bird, the lance like a straw in its mighty bulk, struck the tarnsman and the other bird, grasping and biting.	10
20	364	The tarnsman's shield was ripped from his arm and went flying into the darkness below.	10
20	368	The tarnsman's bird, doubtless a war tarn, scenting blood and battle, almost on its back on the sky, ripped upward with its talons at its wild brother.	10
20	369	The lead tarnsman loosed, as he could, arrow after arrow into the body of the attacking bird, and then, drawing his sword, for he carried no lance, tried to close with it, to strike it somehow, across the back of the neck, in that tumbling tangle of rage and hunger.	10

5	543	She had once been captured and enslaved by the tarnsman, Rask, of Treve, but he, having become, however unaccountably, enamored of a blond barbarian slave named El-in-or, gave her to Verna, a leader of Panther Girls, who took her to the northern forests.	10
8	124	"Is one called Tarl Cabot, a tarnsman, amongst you?" he asked.	10
10	1	In Which is Recounted a Portion of What Occurred in the Pavilion of Lord Nishida "Greetings, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida.	10
10	126	"I would have left him behind, for animals, but Tarl Cabot, tarnsman, our guest, desired that he be permitted to accompany us".	10
10	184	What was going on here? Why had I been brought here? What was I to do here? What was expected of me? It seemingly had something to do with my being a tarnsman, but, beyond that, I understood very little, little or nothing.	10
10	720	"Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida, "what do you think of my new slave?" I shrugged.	10
12	168	"I fear so," he had said, "Tarl Cabot, tarnsman".	10
12	238	Indeed the only experience many women had with tarns was to be slung naked as one of a pair, one on each side, fastened to a saddle ring, or to be, if a single quarry, hauled aloft by a tarnsman's braided, leather rope and then, their clothing cut from them, to be put on their back across the saddle...	10
12	274	"He will be a tarnsman," I said.	10
12	305	Too long, in my view, had the common tarnsman been too much of a mounted foot soldier, too long had he been the passenger of the mount, rather than a component in a single, unified weapon.	10
12	310	Too, the usual missile weapon of the tarnsman, as the longbow, or peasant bow, was impractical, was the crossbow, but it was difficult to reload from the saddle, and its rate of fire, accordingly, was slow.	10
12	375	"You, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima.	10
12	381	"It is wrong for you to interfere in this, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima.	10
14	61	First, it might be easily slung at the saddle, freeing the tarnsman's hands, for a purpose which will soon be obvious, the use of the bow, and, second, as in some arena bucklers, it would have a bladelike edge, thus allowing it to be used to cut at an opponent's body, ideally the throat.	10
14	62	I did not expect there would be much call for this latter feature unless the tarnsman was on foot, but sometimes tarnsmen do lock in combat, even on tarnback, as the birds, spinning about, buffeting one another, screaming and twisting about, do grapple in the sky.	10
14	83	It might be recalled that the usual missile weapon, if one were carried, of the tarnsman was the crossbow, either of the ratchet or stirrup variety.	10
14	102	To bring some of these things together then, I envisioned the tarnsman not so much as a mounted infantryman, so to speak, either a spearman or a crossbowman, than as something different, a new form of warrior, a component, so to speak, in a unified weapon system, that of man and tarn.	10
14	111	In summary, the tarnsman, as I envisioned him, would be primarily an archer, and his bird would carry a large number of arrows, far more than might be carried in the common quiver.	10
14	117	And the usual kit of the tarnsman would include such items, of course, as binding fiber and slave bracelets, for in Gorean warfare the taking of female slaves is common.	10
14	137	"How may I be of service to you, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman?" he asked.	10
14	181	"Ah, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima, "how little you know of these things".	10
14	193	"Your weapons, your skills, your talents, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima, "are not ours".	10
14	218	"You ask much, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said he.	10
16	94	But one of the most effective and inaccessible of spies is the distant, reconnoitering tarnsman.	10
16	170	I cried out in rage that I was not a lone tarnsman, that I might immediately set out in pursuit of the fugitive.	10
16	185	This proved correct, and he was, as well, a tarnsman, who had turned mercenary.	10
16	223	"Tal, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida.	10
17	15	A tarnsman's usual close-to-the-ground flight was used to rope fleeing females, thence to be hauled helplessly to the saddle.	10
17	45	On the ground, of course, the tarnsman was a common infantryman, and I had no doubt their incursion, despite their superiority in numbers, would be fiercely met by the Ashigaru of the Pani and several of our mercenaries.	10
17	51	If a tarnsman were so maddened, or unwary, as to pursue a given foe, two others from behind, to the sides, would close upon him.	10
17	71	I saw one of our fellows, I think Tajima, take a mounting tarnsman, climbing to the saddle, with the temwood lance.	10
17	72	The tarnsman was carried a dozen yards before he slipped from the lance, to the stirred dust below.	10
18	62	"Yes, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," he said.	10
18	68	"Please, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima, politely, "may I have him?" "Yes," I said.	10
18	370	"Subside, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima.	10
18	402	"We are pleased, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," he said.	10
18	431	"Doubtless the honorable Pertinax, tarnsman, has more recent news," said Lord Nishida.	10
19	40	"Very well, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," he said.	10
19	295	"Yes, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima.	10
20	244	"You cannot, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima.	10
22	257	He had heard me referred to as Bosk of Port Kar, in the pavilion of Lord Nishida, but he knew me, primarily, surely, as Tarl Cabot, a tarnsman.	10
22	284	"Surely you were not serious, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima.	10
22	340	"Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima, "your knife is not bloody".	10
22	348	"Very well, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Tajima.	10
22	376	"Tarl Cabot, tarnsman, is heated, and aroused," said Tajima.	10
24	25	"Is that you, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman?" came a voice from inside the double tent, calling out, pleasantly.	10
24	70	"Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said he, "was it not clumsy of you to allow your suspicions to be detected".	10
24	100	"Stay a bit, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida, and I sat down, cross-legged, across from him, across the small table, and watched him pour himself, and then me, a tiny cup of sake.	10
24	227	"Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida.	10
25	214	Who would have it otherwise? Through the trees, looking up, I saw the unshuttered lantern of an aflight tarnsman.	10
25	277	"Tarl Cabot, tarnsman!" he said.	10
25	295	"No, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," he said.	10
26	9	Commonly the tarnsman jackets himself in leather, but I was as I had been, as I had come from the feast.	10
26	68	There was a single tarn, a single tarnsman.	10
26	217	"I am a humble tarnsman, Anbar, of Ar".	10
26	313	"Tarl Cabot, tarnsman!" cried Tajima.	10
26	319	"To camp!" "What has occurred, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman?" called Tajima.	10
27	18	I did not doubt that Tajima had reported to Lord Nishida my flight of the preceding late evening, and my seeming encounter with an unidentified tarnsman, an encounter I had refused to explain to him.	10
27	94	I had no doubt, as noted, that Lord Nishida knew of last night's flighted interview over the forest with some unrecognized tarnsman.	10
28	455	"Well, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida, "we have solved one of our problems".	10

31	1	I Hear of the Selections "We anticipated your reluctance, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida.	10

35	20	"This is Tarl Cabot, tarnsman, commander of the tarn cavalry, victor at the battle of Tarncamp, of whom I have spoken," said Lord Nishida.	10
35	64	"Do you understand us, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman?" asked Lord Nishida.	10
35	137	"Our patience is not inexhaustible, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida.	10

1	290	It seems that long ago, during the Planting Feast of Ar, a bold tarnsman, thought to be from the north, seized the Home Stone of Ar, which catastrophe brought about the temporary downfall of the Ubar, who fled from the city with chosen men.	10

5	125	He might have killed me then, had it not been for the intervention of the tarnsman, Tarl Cabot.	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
5	184	The words of the tarnsman, I gathered, were words to which several present might attend.	10
5	229	The tarnsman, Tarl Cabot, I gathered, did not know the skills of Seremides.	10
5	280	"It is as I and Tarl Cabot, tarnsman, intended".	10
5	281	I had thought the tarnsman bore me no ill will.	10
5	292	The tarnsman smiled.	10
5	309	Lord Nishida, the tarnsman, and others, moved back, further enlarging the space at our disposal.	10
9	80	The tarnsman, Tarl Cabot, was apparently the commander of the tarn cavalry.	10
9	101	Both bows are different from the short, stout Tuchuk bow, or saddle bow, which, I had learned, had been introduced by the tarnsman, Tarl Cabot, into the weaponry of the tarn cavalry.	10
9	263	I edged about cages, trying to reach the tarnsman.	10
9	411	"I see Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida.	10
9	422	"One wonders, Lord Nishida," said Lord Okimoto, "if Tarl Cabot, tarnsman, is loyal".	10
9	444	"I was unaware," said Lord Okimoto, "that Tarl Cabot, tarnsman, had requested permission to speak".	10
9	463	I do not think we can spare one tarnsman, one spearman, one swordsman, one archer.	10
11	57	"Tarl Cabot, tarnsman?" inquired Lord Nishida.	10
11	71	"Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida, "I would speak with you, privately".	10
12	113	Indeed, I had been suggested to Aëtius for the high watches by the tarnsman, Tarl Cabot.	10
12	116	In any event, I suspected that the fact that I was still alive might be due in no small part to the tarnsman, Tarl Cabot.	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
12	120	What sort of man might be the tarnsman, Tarl Cabot? But even the finest steel is of little avail against poison, against an Anango dart at the base of the skull, against a knife in the back.	10
12	400	Below I saw the unmistakable figure of the tarnsman, Tarl Cabot.	10
12	455	"I know," said the tarnsman.	10
12	460	"Certainly," said the tarnsman.	10
12	465	I turned my attention to the second mast, and approached it, the tarnsman with me.	10
12	471	"Interesting," said the tarnsman.	10
12	483	"Are you going to leave her like that?" asked the tarnsman.	10
12	485	"Unhood her, ungag her," said the tarnsman.	10
12	493	The tarnsman seized her chin in his right hand, and lifted and turned it, so that she must look upon him.	10
12	504	I saw that she was terrified of the tarnsman.	10
12	524	I know nothing, nothing, Masters! That is the truth, Masters! Be merciful to a slave! She is collared, she dares not lie, Masters!" I looked to the tarnsman.	10
12	525	"It is possible," I said to the tarnsman, "that the slut knows nothing".	10
12	529	"It is possible," said the tarnsman, "and likely.	10
12	532	"Blackmail, amongst confederates, or conspirators," said the tarnsman, "is always a possibility.	10
12	546	"That it was done easily and efficiently," said the tarnsman, "her neutralization, her removal from the game, from the board, so to speak, the straightforward gagging and hooding, suggests that they are proficient in such things, are perhaps slavers or raiders, or others, accustomed to the acquisiti...	10
12	550	"Do you know more, slave?" asked the tarnsman.	10
12	554	"It is strange, is it not," I said, "that the deck watch failed to note such intruders, and that the alarm bar did not ring until men were pouring onto the deck?" "Do you think it strange?" asked the tarnsman.	10
12	584	"She was displeasing," said the tarnsman.	10
12	586	"Shall I have a punishment tag brought," asked the tarnsman, "and a thong?" The punishment tag, as noted earlier, would be wired to the slave's collar, her hands would be tied behind her back, and she must hurry to her keeping area, where discipline would be meted out by her keepers, the large women...	10
12	611	"The deck is hard, cold, and wet," said the tarnsman.	10
12	626	"You well know how to handle a slave," said the tarnsman.	10
12	628	"The slut was quite ready," said the tarnsman.	10
12	638	"To be sure," said the tarnsman, "it is scarcely the furs of love, spread on the floor at the foot of a master's couch".	10
12	646	"I wonder what is his interest in her," said the tarnsman.	10
12	648	"She has grown in beauty," said the tarnsman.	10
12	654	"If she were a free woman," said the tarnsman, "I suspect she would purchase a collar, and kneel before you, begging you to make her your slave".	10
12	675	Does she suspect at times that there is a slave masquerading within her robes? Does she not, at times, hear the whimpers, the cries, of the slave within her? Does she not long, at times, for the collar of a master, for the weight of his chains? Does she not know in her heart that she is his rightful...	10
12	694	"Quite possibly," said the tarnsman.	10
12	701	"I know," said the tarnsman.	10
12	711	"I gather he thinks I know her whereabouts," said the tarnsman, "that he might somehow find her through me".	10
12	713	"Of course," said the tarnsman.	10
12	728	I myself could recognize the Ubara, of course, but I did not think it judicious to bring this to the attention of the tarnsman.	10
12	730	"I do not know," said the tarnsman.	10
12	734	"I think not," said the tarnsman.	10
12	738	"Beware of Seremides," said the tarnsman.	10
13	61	I slowly made my way up the mast, hort by hort, and was then beside the tarnsman.	10
13	80	I looked at the tarnsman.	10
13	83	I knew that the tarnsman and Lord Nishida had scouted several derelicts, surveying them with the glass of the Builders.	10
13	96	I supposed, if Lord Nishida and the tarnsman were right, that a mother ship at the edge of the Vine Sea might have dispatched a small party to the derelict.	10
16	243	Tarl Cabot was forward, on the port side, with his friend, Pertinax, and the Pani tarnsman, Tajima, fighting with our Pani against boarders, who were heaviest in that quarter.	10
16	313	Cabot then spoke hurriedly to Tajima, the tarnsman, in a language I did not recognize.	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
19	104	It was Tarl Cabot, the tarnsman, who threw his weight, as that of two men, against the helm pole.	10
21	244	Tarl Cabot, the tarnsman, commander of the tarn cavalry, had now joined Lords Okimoto and Nishida at the rail.	10
21	267	"Precisely, Tarl Cabot, tarnsman," said Lord Nishida.	10
22	221	These men were not even in position when Lord Nishida signaled to his left flank and right flank, the left commanded by Tajima, of his retinue, whom I knew primarily as a Pani tarnsman, liaison to, or lieutenant to, Cabot, in the tarn cavalry, and the strange warrior, Nodachi, commanding the right f...	10
26	191	"A tarnsman?" "Yes," I said.	10
27	169	And I did not think that even his students, such as Pertinax and Tajima, the Pani tarnsman, understood the mystery of this unusually skilled, but enigmatic warrior.	10
33	275	I think the fellows had been pleased enough by what they had heard, but that few, if any, would take it seriously, with its talk of the World's End, of the great ship, of the mad Tersites, of Tarl Cabot, the tarnsman, of the much-sought fugitive, Talena of Ar.	10
35	161	"Rather, I bring you greetings from Lord Nishida and from Tarl Cabot, tarnsman, commander of the tarn cavalry of Lord Temmu".	10

36	195	"Lord Nishida expresses his appreciation for your work at the gate, at the time of the attempted desertion, and both he and Tarl Cabot, the tarnsman, salute you, in the matter of the ship".	10
36	196	"The matter of the ship?" "Surely," said the captain, "you understand that without your concern, and your initiative, without the actions which you set in motion, in particular having Lord Nishida contact Tarl Cabot, the tarnsman, in the mountains, the ship would have perished.	10
36	198	Both Lord Nishida and Tarl Cabot, the tarnsman, were fond of the ship.	10
36	393	"We have journeyed to the World's End, Brundisium, we have founded a trade route, we are in the process of obtaining much needed goods for our shogun, Lord Temmu, we have foiled, or meddled in, the plot of the traitor, Tyrtaios, have perhaps saved your life, and, in any event have deprived him of hi...	10
36	428	"To whom?" "To Lord Nishida, and Tarl Cabot, the tarnsman," said the captain.	10
36	445	"Lord Nishida and Tarl Cabot, the tarnsman," said the captain, "have included with their greetings to you, a gift, as well".	10
37	217	"Lord Nishida and Tarl Cabot, the tarnsman," he said, "have included some tokens with the gift, which, as you are accepting it, I may present to you".	10
37	414	In that I suspected the hand of Lord Nishida and Tarl Cabot, the tarnsman.	10
37	567	"And thus, if such things are so, five, or perhaps two," she said, "the gift of Lord Nishida and Tarl Cabot, the tarnsman, would seem surprisingly modest, particularly for those who have much they might bestow".	10
