11	141	"Who, Serpent," asked the Tatrix, "supplied the gold? From whom came the letters of instruction?" "I do not know, Beloved Tatrix," whined Ost.	10
16	12	"Is it customary," I asked the Tatrix, "for warriors to carry weapons to the Pillar of Exchanges?" "There will be no treachery," said the Tatrix.	10
23	69	"Of course, Warrior," she said, "there must be no tears—for I am Tatrix of Tharna and a Tatrix does not cry".	10
24	100	"The soldiers and guardsmen of Tharna are pledged to the Tatrix, but the Tatrix they defend is a traitress.	10
24	110	"The soldiers of Tharna and her guardsmen will forsake the false Tatrix and serve the true Tatrix," I said.	10
24	205	"Your swords are pledged to your city, to its walls, to your people and your Tatrix! Serve her!" "I shall serve the true Tatrix of Tharna!" cried the young warrior.	10
6	30	There were many things supposedly strange about Tharna, among them that she was reportedly ruled by a queen, or Tatrix, and, reasonably enough in the circumstances, that the position of women in that city, in contrast with common Gorean custom, was one of privilege and opportunity.	10
6	173	"Would the Tatrix not free you?" "They would not take me to Tharna," she responded.	10
7	116	"If you take her to Tharna," I said, "the Tatrix will free her".	10
8	14	I remembered that in Tharna, ruled by its Tatrix, there would be few, if any, female slaves.	10
8	128	"Tatrix of Tharna," he said.	10
9	7	"I wish no harm to Lara, Tatrix of Tharna," I told him.	10
9	50	"You can spend it beyond the walls in the fields," he said, "or you can spend it in the Palace of the Tatrix".	10
9	51	"It sounds to me as though the Palace of the Tatrix were the more comfortable," I said.	10
9	175	"In the name of Lara," said the man, "Tatrix of Tharna".	10
10	1	The Palace of the Tatrix Resistance would have been useless.	10
10	6	"You may plead your case before the Tatrix," said the guard.	10
10	10	"Have I your word that you will accompany me peaceably to the palace of the Tatrix?" asked the guardsman.	10
10	16	"It is for the Tatrix to decide," he said.	10
10	19	I followed the guardsman, yet ringed with his men, to the palace of the Tatrix.	10
10	25	I knew that if justice were done in Tharna I would be acquitted, yet I was uneasy—for how was I to know if my case would be fairly heard and decided? That I had been in possession of Ost's sack of coins would surely seem good prima-facie evidence of guilt, and this might well sway the decisio...	10
10	26	How would my word, the word of a stranger, weigh against the words of Ost, a citizen of Tharna and perhaps one of significance? Yet, incredibly perhaps, I looked forward to seeing the palace and the Tatrix, to meeting face to face the unusual woman who could rule, and rule well, a city of Gor.	10
10	27	Had I not been arrested I guessed I might, of my own free will, have called upon the Tatrix of Tharna, and, as one citizen had expressed it, spent my night in her palace.	10
10	35	I wondered if within this stern, brutal fortress, this palace of the Tatrix of Tharna, justice could be done.	10
10	97	"I demand," I said, "to be taken to the Tatrix".	10
10	100	"I shall take you to the Tatrix myself".	10
10	104	"The Tatrix of Tharna is expecting you," he said.	10
11	1	Lara, Tatrix of Tharna I passed through the opening, and painfully began to climb a small, circular passage, staggering with each step under the weight of the heavy metal yoke.	10
11	26	No one need tell me that I stood in the presence of Lara, Tatrix of Tharna.	10
11	32	"You stand before Lara, Tatrix of Tharna".	10
11	43	I knelt, yoked, before the Tatrix of Tharna.	10
11	48	"We of Tharna," said the Tatrix, "think so little of riches that we use them to yoke slaves".	10
11	51	She stood haughtily beside the Tatrix, the expressionless silver mask gleaming down at me, hideous in the torchlight it reflected.	10
11	52	Speaking to the Tatrix, but not turning the mask from me, she said, "Destroy the animal".	10
11	54	"Does the law of Tharna not give it the right to speak, Dorna the Proud, Second in Tharna?" asked the Tatrix, whose voice, too, was imperious and cold, yet pleased me more than the tones of she who wore the silver mask.	10
11	56	It was almost as if she challenged her Tatrix, and I wondered if Dorna the Proud was content to be Second in Tharna.	10
11	58	The Tatrix did not choose to respond to Dorna the Proud.	10
11	59	"Has he still his tongue?" asked the Tatrix of the man with the wrist straps, who stood behind me.	10
11	60	"Yes, Tatrix," said the man.	10
11	64	"It was the wish of the Tatrix that the slave be yoked and brought to the Chamber of the Golden Mask as soon as possible, and unharmed".	10
11	66	"Why did you not kneel, Stranger?" asked the Tatrix of Tharna.	10
11	69	Then she turned to the Tatrix.	10
11	71	"Do you give orders to she who is First in Tharna?" asked the Tatrix.	10
11	72	"No, Beloved Tatrix," said Dorna the Proud.	10
11	73	"Slave," said the Tatrix.	10
11	79	"Confess that you stole these coins from Ost of Tharna," said the Tatrix.	10
11	83	"I advise you," said the Tatrix, "to confess".	10
11	86	"Then, Stranger," said the Tatrix, "I am sorry for you".	10
11	90	"Bring in Ost!" ordered the Tatrix.	10
11	95	"Kneel to the Tatrix," commanded Thorn, who still retained the whip.	10
11	98	I expected the Tatrix to intervene on his behalf, as she had on mine, but, instead, she said nothing.	10
11	105	He did not take his eyes from the Tatrix, wanting to strike at the first instant she permitted the blow.	10
11	106	"Rise," said the Tatrix to Ost, "or you will die on your belly like the serpent you are".	10
11	109	The Tatrix coldly lifted her gloved hand.	10
11	116	"You are strong," said the Tatrix of Tharna.	10
11	118	"True," said the Tatrix.	10
11	130	"Of conspiracy against the throne of Tharna," said the Tatrix.	10
11	132	"Ost," said the Tatrix, her voice like ice, "you are guilty of treason against Tharna.	10
11	135	"It is as your spies reported, Tatrix.	10
11	147	"Nothing, Beloved Tatrix," he whimpered.	10
11	151	Only the Tatrix herself and Dorna the Proud sat straight.	10
11	154	"What more do you know?" demanded the Tatrix.	10
11	177	"Thank you, Beloved Tatrix," whimpered Ost, his eyes bursting with tears.	10
11	197	"How is it that Ost gave you the coins, Warrior?" asked the Tatrix.	10
11	204	But the mask of the Tatrix glittered upon Ost, and his snicker died in his thin throat.	10
11	205	The Tatrix arose from her throne, and pointed her finger at the wretched conspirator.	10
11	208	"No, Beloved Tatrix, no!" cried Ost.	10
11	212	"You are cruel," I said to the Tatrix.	10
11	213	"A Tatrix must be cruel," said Dorna.	10
11	214	"That," I said, "I would hear from the mouth of the Tatrix herself".	10
11	216	After a time the Tatrix, who had resumed her throne, spoke.	10
11	220	I wondered what sort of woman was the Tatrix of Tharna, what lay concealed behind that mask of gold.	10
11	224	I looked at the Tatrix.	10
11	237	"What full sum did Ost offer you?" repeated the Tatrix.	10
11	239	"Golden tarn disks—unlike those of silver—are scarce in Tharna," said the Tatrix.	10
11	244	The Tatrix stiffened suddenly, her entire body trembling with fury.	10
11	248	"No," screamed the Tatrix, and, to the astonishment of all, herself descended the broad steps of the dais.	10
11	261	Then, when the Tatrix had exhausted herself, by some effort I find it hard to comprehend, I managed to stand on my feet, bloody, wearing the yoke, my flesh in tatters—and look down upon her.	10
13	9	"Kneel to the Tatrix of Tharna," commanded an imperious voice, speaking through some type of trumpet.	10
13	11	"Strange," said he, "usually the Tatrix does not attend the Amusements of Tharna".	10
13	12	I wondered if I might be the reason that the Tatrix herself was present.	10
13	13	"Kneel to the Tatrix of Tharna," repeated the imperious voice.	10
13	36	I looked above the wall and saw, vested in her robes of gold, regal on a golden throne, she who alone might wear a golden mask, she who was First in Tharna—Lara, the Tatrix herself.	10
13	37	The Tatrix arose and lifted her hand.	10
13	44	Hail to the Tatrix of our City.	10
13	45	The golden scarf fluttered to the sands of the arena and the Tatrix resumed her throne, reclining upon its cushions.	10
13	54	The race would begin and end before the golden wall behind which, in lofty splendor, sat the Tatrix of Tharna.	10
13	58	As we stood before the wall I heard the laughter of the Tatrix, and my vision blackened with rage.	10
13	59	Our driver was the man in wrist straps, he from the Chamber of Urts, who had first brought me into the presence of the Tatrix.	10
13	65	The hand of the Tatrix lifted slightly, almost languorously, from the arm of her throne, and the race began.	10
13	91	The man with wrist straps circled us with the whip, his eye on the throne of the Tatrix.	10
13	101	The hand of the Tatrix must have lifted.	10
13	136	I looked up into the glittering mask of the Tatrix.	10
13	152	Once more I stood beneath the golden mask of the Tatrix.	10
13	155	There was a tenseness in the air, as all waited for the words of the Tatrix.	10
13	160	Had I won my freedom? Was it thus in the Amusements of Tharna? Or had the fierce, proud Tatrix now recognized the cruelty of the Amusements? Had that heart hidden in those cold, glistening robes of unfeeling gold at last relented, shown itself to be susceptible of compassion? Or had the call of just...	10
13	161	"Thank you, Tatrix," I said.	10
14	19	I walked slowly to the foot of the golden wall, where lay the golden scarf of the Tatrix, that scarf whose fluttering signal had initiated the Amusements.	10
14	22	I looked up into the glittering, golden mask of the Tatrix.	10
14	23	"As something by which to remember the Tatrix of Tharna," said the voice behind the golden mask, amused.	10
14	25	Above me the Tatrix cried out in rage.	10
14	80	The Tatrix decreed it is only to be used in the Amusements, to feed on sleen like you".	10
14	87	I wondered what thoughts passed behind the golden mask of Lara, Tatrix of the city of Tharna.	10
14	135	The voice of the Tatrix drifted across the sands.	10
14	194	The awnings had been struck, but the stands were still filled, as the thousands of silver masks of Tharna waited for the golden Tatrix herself to be the first to leave that scene of the macabre amusements of the gray city.	10
14	195	Far below in the midst of the crowd I caught sight of the golden robes of the Tatrix.	10
14	206	In one instant that must have been the most terrifying in her life, the Tatrix stood alone, looking up, deserted by all, on the steps before her golden throne in the midst of tumbled cushions and trays of candies and sweetmeats.	10
14	211	Its steel-shod pinioning talons closed like great hooks on the body of the screaming Tatrix.	10
14	213	In those titanic, merciless talons the body of the Tatrix was helpless.	10
14	215	The Tatrix could no longer even scream.	10
14	216	With a storm of wings the tarn smote the air and rose, in the sight of all, above the stands, above the arena, above the towers and walls of Tharna, and sped toward the horizon, the golden-robed body of the Tatrix clutched in its talons.	10
15	35	I cursed myself for a thoughtless fool, for in the exhilaration of the flight, incomprehensible though it seems to me now, I had forgotten the Tatrix.	10
15	39	Tharna did not maintain large cavalries of tarns, but it would surely be able to launch at least some squadrons of tarnsmen to rescue and avenge its Tatrix.	10
15	54	I leaped from the back of the monster and rushed to the Tatrix, to protect her in case the tarn should begin to feed.	10
15	60	Standing between the Tatrix and the winged carnivore, I cried "Tabuk!" It began to stalk toward the girl, who rose to her knees, her back pressed against the unyielding wall of the cliff, and screamed.	10
15	64	With one last look at the Tatrix, the bird turned and stalked to the brink of that awesome ledge and, with a single snap of its great wings, leaped into space, its soaring shadow a message of terror to any game below.	10
15	65	I turned to face the Tatrix.	10
15	70	With the Tatrix in hand, I might be in a position to bargain with Tharna.	10
15	72	It would surely be a small enough price for the return of the golden Tatrix herself.	10
15	73	The Tatrix struggled to her feet.	10
15	74	It was customary on Gor for a female captive to kneel in the presence of her captor, but she was, after all, a Tatrix, and I did not wish to enforce the point.	10
15	80	Aside from the mask, metallic, cold, glittering as always, I decided the Tatrix might be beautiful.	10
15	92	The Tatrix looked about, examining the sky.	10
15	95	I knew that if there was anything that struck terror into the heart of the Tatrix, it was the tarn.	10
15	98	The Tatrix trembled slightly.	10
15	105	With a cry of fear the Tatrix fell on her knees before me, her hands extended, pleading.	10
15	106	Lara, Tatrix of Tharna, was at my feet, a supplicant.	10
15	108	Angrily the Tatrix scrambled to her feet.	10
15	122	I thought it well to alarm the Tatrix, the better to improve my bargaining position.	10
15	127	The Tatrix, trembling with rage, regarded me.	10
15	135	The Tatrix laughed bitterly.	10
15	151	"Because," she said, drawing herself to her full height, gathering the golden tattered robes about her, "I am Tatrix of Tharna".	10
15	154	I turned to the Tatrix.	10
15	156	The Tatrix seemed stunned.	10
15	172	Although that placid mask showed no emotion, I could read the despair in the body of the Tatrix.	10
15	178	Indeed, as I thought of the cruel Tatrix, of what she had done, I wondered if, in fact, I should not take her to Ar and dispose of her on the Street of Brands.	10
15	181	It sounded now as though the Tatrix might bargain.	10
15	197	The Tatrix rose to her knees.	10
15	208	"Free all those used in the Amusements of Tharna!" The Tatrix seemed taken aback.	10
15	213	"Yes," she said, not meeting my gaze, "you have the word of the Tatrix of Tharna".	10
15	217	The Tatrix looked up at me.	10
15	220	"She is a Degraded Woman," said the Tatrix, "and he a member of a caste outlawed in Tharna".	10
15	222	"Very well," said the Tatrix humbly.	10
15	240	I saw the Tatrix shudder as I attacked the raw flesh, but I was famished, and the niceties of the low tables, for what they were, were abandoned.	10
15	241	I offered a piece to the Tatrix, but her body swayed as though she were ill and I would not insist.	10
15	242	While I fed on the tarn's gift, the Tatrix stood near the edge of the rocky shelf, gazing out on the meadow of talenders.	10
15	257	"Who would be fool enough to carry away the Tatrix of Tharna when she might be ransomed for the gold of a dozen Ubars?" I looked at her.	10
15	262	"Turn around," I said to the Tatrix, "and place your hands behind your back".	10
15	263	Her head in the air, the Tatrix did as she was told.	10
15	266	I threw the Tatrix lightly to the back of the tarn and leaped up beside her.	10
16	1	The Pillar of Exchanges Guided by the Tatrix, in perhaps no more than thirty minutes, we saw, gleaming in the distance, the Pillar of Exchanges.	10
16	16	"Because I am Tatrix of Tharna," she said proudly.	10
16	23	I did not dismount, but held the Tatrix more firmly.	10
16	28	"Hail to our Beloved Tatrix!" she cried.	10
16	32	The Tatrix acknowledged the salutation of Dorna the Proud with merely a regal nod of her head.	10
16	33	"All Tharna is yours, Warrior," cried Dorna the Proud, "if you but relinquish our noble Tatrix! The city weeps for her return! I fear there will be no more joy in Tharna until she sits again upon her golden throne!" I laughed.	10
16	41	Dorna glanced at the Tatrix.	10
16	42	"I shall add," she said, "the weight of five tarns in gold, a room of silver, helmets filled with jewels!" "You truly love your Tatrix," I said.	10
16	45	The Tatrix squirmed in my arms.	10
16	46	"Less," said Dorna the Proud, "would insult our Beloved Tatrix".	10
16	48	Lara, the Tatrix, straightened in my arms.	10
16	52	"Indeed, Warrior," said she, "for our Tatrix we would give you even the stones of our walls".	10
16	53	"Are my terms satisfactory to you?" asked the Tatrix, rather condescendingly, I thought.	10
16	57	I slid down from the back of the tarn, the Tatrix in my arms.	10
16	59	As soon as her wrists were free she was once again every inch the royal Tatrix of Tharna.	10
16	70	The voice of the Tatrix was merry.	10
16	72	The Tatrix drew her robes about her.	10
16	75	"No," said the Tatrix, imperiously, "that would not be enough".	10
16	81	The Tatrix and Dorna the Proud screamed.	10
16	88	In that moment both the Tatrix and Dorna the Proud plunged sharp instruments, pins of some sort, into my back and arm.	10
16	91	"Shackle him," said the Tatrix.	10
16	94	The merry victorious laugh of the Tatrix rang in my ears.	10
16	107	The Tatrix had apparently lost interest in me, for she turned to Dorna the Proud and Thorn, Captain of Tharna.	10
16	110	Haughtily the Tatrix addressed Dorna and Thorn.	10
16	112	The Tatrix looked out over the plains, in the direction of the city.	10
16	115	The Tatrix walked across the pillar, regal in those tattered robes, and stood over me.	10
16	119	"I think not, Beloved Tatrix," she said.	10
16	120	The Tatrix turned, puzzled.	10
16	123	The Tatrix stood as if stunned, not understanding.	10
16	126	Painfully I was wrenched into the air and, cruelly hanging by my shackled wrists, I saw the white column dropping away beneath me, and the figures upon it, two warriors, a woman in a silver mask, and the golden Tatrix of Tharna.	10
17	81	The only relief in their existence comes once a year, on the birthday of the Tatrix, when they are served a small cake, made with honey and sesame seeds, and a small pot of poor Kal-da.	10
18	12	There was a new Tatrix in Tharna.	10
18	13	"Who is the new Tatrix?" I asked.	10
18	30	"He returned only long enough to tarnstrike the Tatrix herself," he said.	10
18	31	"The tarn carried her off like a tabuk!" His laughter, which spread to the other slaves in the room, those chained to me, was uproarious, and I understood better than I had understood before the affection with which the Tatrix of Tharna was held in the mines.	10
18	34	"Was the Tatrix not returned at the Pillar, and freed?" "Everyone thought she would be," said the slave, "but the tarnsman apparently wanted her more than the riches of Tharna".	10
18	39	"Two of those who are highest in Tharna, Dorna the Proud, and Thorn, a Captain, went to the Pillar of Exchanges, but the Tatrix was never returned.	10
18	44	"What," I asked, "do you surmise to be the fate of Lara, who was Tatrix?" The slave laughed, and so, too, did some of the others.	10
18	50	"Can you imagine!" he laughed, "Lara, the Tatrix of Tharna, in pleasure silk!" The chain of slaves laughed, all except myself, and Andreas of Tor, who regarded me questioningly.	10
19	73	"Word of our deeds even now hurries to the Palace of the Tatrix," I cried.	10
20	41	There was good hunting nearby, and the ridges where I had carried the Tatrix afforded shelter for its nest.	10
20	44	As we passed over the Pillar of Exchanges, I remembered that it was there I had been betrayed by she who was once Tatrix of Tharna.	10
20	49	I wondered what vengeance would have satisfied the hatred borne to Lara, the Tatrix, by Dorna the Proud.	10
21	281	"Do you not recognize me? I was Tatrix of Tharna".	10
22	20	"I who was Tatrix of Tharna," she said, her eyes downcast, "did not wish to live as a slave".	10
22	45	"You did not then know I was Tatrix of Tharna," she sneered.	10
22	55	I put my arms around her slender shoulders and to my amazement she who had worn the golden mask of Tharna, she who had been Tatrix of that gray city, put her head upon my chest and wept.	10
22	73	"Why would you not keep me for your own?" It was a bold question, strange to come from this girl, once Tatrix of Tharna.	10
22	101	When I was Tatrix of Tharna I hated you.	10
22	111	He scattered my council and defeated my armies and took me and stripped me and bound me naked across the saddle of his bird and then, with a great cry, he carried me to his city, and there I, once proud Tatrix of Tharna, wore his brand and collar".	10
22	132	It suggested to me that I, even the Tatrix, might share the unworthy nature of the beast".	10
22	140	"Though I was Tatrix of Tharna," she said, "I wanted to lie at your feet on the scarlet rug, I wanted to be bound with yellow cords".	10
22	144	And then, in the slaver's tent, Lara, who had been Tatrix of Tharna, told me something of the strange history of her city.	10
22	235	And so it was that I took the cords from her hand, and in the same night Lara who had once been the proud Tatrix of Tharna became according to the ancient rites of her city my slave girl—and a free woman.	10
23	22	Yet though I could not repress my admiration of this girl and the transformation which had been wrought in her from the cold Tatrix of Tharna to the humiliated slave to the glorious creature who now stood beside me my thoughts were mostly in the Sardar, for I knew that I had not yet kept my appointm...	10
23	67	"No tears," I said, "for you are Tatrix of Tharna".	10
23	124	Perhaps mostly I wanted the bird to be free in case my hopes met with disaster, in case the Tatrix and I were to perish in some back street of Tharna.	10
23	144	"Are you for the Tatrix?" he asked.	10
23	151	"You did not fight for your Tatrix," I said evenly.	10
23	156	"Here," I said, gesturing to the beautiful girl at my side, "is Lara, the true Tatrix of Tharna".	10
23	168	"Forgive me, true Tatrix of Tharna," he begged.	10
24	22	I wondered what impression the Kal-da shop would have on the true Tatrix of Tharna.	10
24	61	"That," I said to Kron, pointing out Lara, "is the Tatrix of Tharna".	10
24	62	As Andreas looked upon her he said softly, "She is truly a Tatrix".	10
24	75	"I do not know how she has bewitched you, but we will have no Tatrix in Tharna!" "She is everything that we fight against," protested Andreas.	10
24	101	The true Tatrix of Tharna, Lara herself, is within this room".	10
24	117	It was not what one would have expected of a Tatrix.	10
24	127	"My Tatrix," he whispered.	10
24	128	* * * * We marched through the city, the streets behind us filled like gray rivers with the rebels, each man with his own weapon, yet the sound of those rivers converging on the palace of the Tatrix was anything but gray.	10
24	130	At the head of that splendid, ragged procession five marched; Kron, chief of the rebels; Andreas, a poet; his woman, Linna of Tharna, unveiled; I, a warrior of a city devastated and cursed of the Priest-Kings; and a girl with golden hair, a girl who wore no mask, who had known both the whip and love...	10
24	133	I saw before us once again that broad, winding but ever narrowing avenue which led to the palace of the Tatrix.	10
24	164	"I come on behalf of Lara, who is true Tatrix of Tharna.	10
24	171	Dorna is Tatrix of Tharna".	10
24	175	His mind must have been in tumult, for he could not have expected that the girl produced by the rebels as the true Tatrix would actually be Lara.	10
24	178	"The Tatrix of Tharna," sneered Thorn, looking on the unconcealed features of Lara, "wears a golden mask".	10
24	179	"The Tatrix of Tharna," said Lara, "no longer chooses to wear a mask of gold".	10
24	187	Then treacherously I was set upon and sent to the Mines of Tharna, and Dorna the Proud and Thorn, this Captain, seized Lara, your Tatrix, and sold her into slavery—sold her to the slaver Targo, whose camp is now at the Fair of En'Kara, sold her for the sum of fifty silver tarn disks!"

24	191	"You heard him," I cried, "say to me that he should have killed me on the Pillar of Exchanges! You know that it was I who stole your Tatrix at the Amusements of Tharna.	10
24	196	"He wanted to protect the secret of his plan to abduct the Tatrix and put Dorna the Proud upon her throne".	10
24	207	"Take up your sword," she said, "in the name of Lara, true Tatrix of Tharna".	10
24	210	"I take up my sword," he said, "in the name of Lara, who is true Tatrix of Tharna".	10
24	212	"Who is true Tatrix of Tharna!" he cried.	10
24	215	Thorn was silent, for how could he claim to know that the girl was not Lara, when presumably he had never looked upon the face of the true Tatrix? "I am she," cried the girl.	10
24	260	Behind the golden throne of the Tatrix loomed the dull gold mask, fashioned in the image of a cold and beautiful woman, the reflection of the torches set in the walls flickering hideously on its polished surface.	10
24	261	On the throne there sat a woman clad in the golden robes and mask of the Tatrix of Tharna.	10
25	106	"Stay as a Tatrix, and our swords are bound in your service.	10
25	135	"You were never worthy to be Tatrix of Tharna.	10
25	136	I alone was worthy to be true Tatrix of Tharna".	10
25	138	Then as if with one voice soldiers, guardsmen and rebels lifted their weapons and saluted Lara as true Tatrix of Tharna.	10
25	139	"Hail Lara, true Tatrix of Tharna!" they cried, and as was the custom of the city, five times were those weapons brandished and five times did that glad shout ring out.	10

33	373	That woman is not the Tatrix! She sat upon the throne! She appeared in public as the Tatrix! She sat in court as the Tatrix! She conducted business as the Tatrix! She was known as the Tatrix! But she was not the Tatrix!" "Let us not ignore the evidence," said Miles of Argentum.	10
4	369	Was I the Tatrix of Corcyrus? Susan, I was sure, believed me to be the Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
6	457	I had thrown myself at him like a tart, and had been rejected! How could I have done that? Was I only a little tart, or was I a desperate, needful woman, one who had dared to be true to her needs? How I hated him! I was a Tatrix, a Tatrix! He was only a soldier, a mere guard! I had power.	10
13	23	"It is Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus!" "It is she!" "It is Sheila!" "It is Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus!" I moaned.	10
31	153	"I have sometimes wondered," said he, "if beneath the golden brocades of a Tatrix, any tatrix, might not be found the rep-cloth tunic of a slave girl".	10
33	130	"She is not the true Tatrix of Corcyrus! But the true Tatrix of Corcyrus is here, somewhere! I am sure of it!" "How do you know?" asked Claudius.	10
33	249	"But is it not possible," he asked, "that she might have been reputed to be the Tatrix, and might have done such things, without being the true Tatrix?" "Yes, Master," Susan granted, eagerly.	10
33	342	"Is the woman whom you believed to be the Tatrix of Corcyrus, and whom you testified in Corcyrus was the Tatrix, before the very throne itself, in this room?" Drusus Rencius was silent.	10
33	364	"Is she whom you believed to be the Tatrix of Corcyrus, she whom you identified as the Tatrix in Corcyrus itself, before the very throne of Corcyrus, in this room?" "Yes," said Drusus Rencius.	10
3	1104	"From this moment on," said the girl, "accustom yourself to thinking of yourself as Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus".	10
3	1105	"Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus?" I said.	10
3	1107	"What is a Tatrix?" I asked.	10
3	1110	"It is a great honor for me," said the girl, "to serve the Tatrix of Corcyrus".	10
3	1116	"Tatrix of Corcyrus?" "Yes," she said.	10
3	1118	Who are you?" "I am Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus," I whispered.	10
4	8	Supposedly I was Sheila, the Tatrix of this city, Corcyrus.	10
4	50	This omission seemed puzzling to me, from what I had learned of Gor, particularly in the case of a free woman of so lofty a station as a Tatrix, but I saw no real reason for objecting, particularly in the warm weather of Corcyrus.	10
4	53	The important difference between myself and other free women, of high station, was precisely that, that I was a Tatrix and they were not.	10
4	54	A Tatrix, Ligurious had informed me, has no secrets from her people.	10
4	55	It is good for the people of a Tatrix to be able to look lovingly and reverently upon her.	10
4	58	At any rate, there was little doubt that the features of their Tatrix had now become well known in Corcyrus, at least to many of her citizens.	10
4	76	Perhaps it was traditional, I gathered, as I had been informed by Ligurious, that this was the fashion in which the Tatrix appeared before her people.	10
4	134	"Hail Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus!" I heard.	10
4	164	"Is anything amiss, my Tatrix?" inquired Ligurious.	10
4	178	"Down with Sheila, not Tatrix but Tyranness of Corcyrus!" cried the man, looking angrily upward.	10
4	185	"Pay him no attention, my Tatrix".	10
4	197	"Obviously it was his intention to do harm to his Tatrix," said Ligurious.	10
4	212	"Free him! Let him go!" "Tatrix!" protested Ligurious.	10
4	228	"Behold the glory and mercy of the Tatrix!" he said.	10
4	229	"What better evidence could we have of the falsity of the lunatic's accusations?" "Hail Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus!" cried the man who had snatched up the coin.	10
4	231	"Hail Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus!" In a moment the retinue resumed its journey back to the palace.	10
4	248	"Hail Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus!" "You see?" he asked.	10
4	263	"But I am Tatrix of Corcyrus".	10
4	307	To be a proper guard for a Tatrix, however, surely involved more than being quick with a sword.	10
4	311	"The guard for a Tatrix," I said to Ligurious, "must be more resplendent".	10
4	325	"I had expected Lady Sheila to seem more of a Tatrix," he said, "whereas you seem to me to be something quite different".	10
4	336	"A Tatrix has no secrets from her people.	10
4	337	It is good for her people to be able to look upon their Tatrix!" "As Lady Sheila wishes," he said, bowing.	10
4	349	"I am the Tatrix of Corcyrus," I had said to Ligurious, in the palanquin.	10
4	351	How can I be the Tatrix of Corcyrus, I asked myself.	10
4	356	I wondered if I were truly the Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
4	360	"Certain traditions customarily govern the calendar of the Tatrix," Ligurious had informed me.	10
4	361	At certain times I had been conducted to my quarters I had thought that sessions of important councils had been scheduled, councils at whose sessions it would be natural to expect the presence of the Tatrix.	10
4	362	The matters to be discussed in certain of these meetings, however, I had learned from Ligurious, were actually too trivial to warrant the attention of the Tatrix.	10
4	367	"It is fitting that the proprieties of Corcyrus be respected by her Tatrix, even when they might appear arbitrary," had said Ligurious.	10
4	372	By all, it seemed, I was accepted as the Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
4	375	"Hail Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus!" they had cried.	10
4	376	"I am the Tatrix of Corcyrus," I had told Ligurious.	10
4	378	Inexplicable and strange though it might seem, I decided that I was, truly, the Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
4	386	I was Tatrix.	10
4	388	In office, clearly, I acknowledged to myself, I was a Tatrix.	10
4	389	I wondered, however, if there was a Tatrix within me, or something else.	10
4	424	She, as I had earlier in the day, wore the robes of the Tatrix.	10
4	447	Such a woman I thought, as I am not, is perhaps a true Tatrix.	10
4	463	I wondered if there was a Tatrix within me.	10
4	467	It was not contrasting now, I thought, perhaps two selves, or, more likely, two women, muchly resembling one another, but rather it had been calling to my attention, in its figurative imagery, in the symbolic transformations common to dreams, a discrepancy between what I in actuality was and what it...	10
4	470	I knew then from the dream, or from what had seemed a dream, that there was no Tatrix in me.	10
4	471	I was not a Tatrix, not in my heart.	10
4	512	"I am the Tatrix of Corcyrus!" I said.	10
4	513	But the girl in the mirror did not appear to be a Tatrix.	10
4	544	I was a Tatrix! I tore my yellow robe, that of brief silk, from its carved hanger.	10
4	581	"To protect the Tatrix, I suppose," said he.	10
4	587	"At this Ahn," he said, "it is customary for the Tatrix to be within her quarters".	10
4	594	"I am Tatrix!" I said.	10
4	613	"I am the Tatrix!" I screamed, angrily, from behind the door.	10
4	621	"I am the Tatrix," I whispered.	10
4	626	"I am the Tatrix," I whispered.	10
4	646	"I am a Tatrix!" I said, angrily.	10
4	647	But I did not believe that it was a Tatrix which lay most deeply within me.	10
4	652	"Are you a Tatrix?" She did not respond.	10
4	653	"You do not look like a Tatrix," I told her.	10
4	670	"I am a Tatrix," I responded.	10
5	22	My own guard, Drusus Rencius, now in resplendent regalia, fitting for the guard of a Tatrix, was nearby.	10
5	32	"Beware the quickness of your tongue," said Ligurious, "for you rant now not in one of Argentum's taverns but in Corcyrus, and before the throne of her Tatrix".	10
5	36	In the taverns of Argentum we of Argentum are indeed accustomed to speaking freely before women such as your Tatrix.	10
5	39	"Indeed," said he, "I have had many women far superior to your Tatrix in just such taverns.	10
5	48	"I, the Tatrix, and those of the high councils, have scrutinized them with more care than they deserved.	10
5	72	"If the gifts are suitable," said Ligurious, "our Tatrix, after the cession of the mines, may be moved to deal somewhat less harshly with the miscreants of Argentum".	10
5	77	"I see," said Ligurious, lightly, "that you bring with you no male silk slaves, in chains, to be presented to the Tatrix".	10
5	78	"It is well known," said Miles, "that the Tatrix of Corcyrus is not interested in men, but only in gold and power".	10
5	88	"How is it," inquired Miles, "that the Tatrix of Corcyrus goes unveiled?" "It is custom," said Ligurious.	10
5	167	"You have insulted our Tatrix," said Ligurious.	10
5	168	"Your Tatrix," said Miles, "belongs in a cage, a golden cage".	10
5	176	"It is about the worth of your Tatrix, I think, in so far as I am now able to assess her.	10
5	181	"Strip him, and chain him to the slave ring of the Tatrix!" cried a man.	10
5	241	"But, from what you know of me," I said, "do you think that I might bring a silver tarsk?" "As a Tatrix," he asked, "or only as another woman in the market, another mere female, up for vending, one about whom there is nothing politically or socially special, one who, like most others, will be priced...	10
6	53	I was a Tatrix.	10
6	67	Otherwise, had I gone abroad in the robes of the Tatrix, we would have been encumbered by guards and crowds; we would have had to travel in a palanquin; we would have been forced to tolerate the annunciatory drums and trumpets, and put up with all the noisy, ostentatious, dreary panoply of office.	10
6	276	"I could find it easy to despise you," he said, "and, at one time, from all that I had heard of the Tatrix of Corcyrus, and know of her governance of the city, I would have thought it would also be easy to hate you, but now, now that I have met you, I could not honestly say that I hate you".	10
6	297	I was a Tatrix.	10
6	372	Was it because I was a Tatrix? I wondered what it would be like to be kissed by him.	10
6	386	I was, after all, the Tatrix and he was, after all, only my guard.	10
6	460	Was it because I was a Tatrix? But I did not think that that thought, momentous though it might be, would have deterred a man such as Drusus Rencius.	10
6	478	Are you stupid? I am a Tatrix, I cried out to myself.	10
6	602	I was a Tatrix! I looked down from the wall, over the many roofs of Corcyrus.	10
6	692	"Yes, Tatrix," he said.	10
6	694	I am Tatrix of Corcyrus".	10
6	695	"Yes, Tatrix," he said.	10
6	700	To force an entry to such a place, I then understood, might necessitate an altercation, one perhaps ensuing in the exposure of my identity as the Tatrix.	10
6	703	It is my duty to protect the Tatrix, not to place her in jeopardy".	10
6	723	Your resemblance to the Tatrix, at least, would surely be noted".	10
6	797	"Here I would be alone with the Tatrix of Corcyrus, near saddled tarns," he said.	10
7	51	"Indeed, I had not supposed that the Tatrix of Corcyrus would prove to be such a beauty".	10
7	61	"The Tatrix of Corcyrus does not often remove cloaks for gentlemen," I informed him.	10
7	65	"Few men," I said, "have looked upon the Tatrix of Corcyrus clad in this fashion".	10
7	101	"No one will know, even high members of the staff, will they," I asked, "that I am actually the Tatrix of Corcyrus".	10
7	144	"You would have the Tatrix of Corcyrus drink unsweetened slave wine?" I asked.	10
7	238	It was locked on me, and well, but I was the Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
8	652	"Yes, Tatrix," he said.	10
9	14	I myself, of course, a woman of wealth and position, a Tatrix even, was above such tasks.	10
9	40	"They call for the blood of the Tatrix of Corcyrus," she said, "whom they call tyranness and villainess of Corcyrus".	10
9	95	"Over which you presided, my Tatrix," said he, modestly.	10
9	110	"Yes, my Tatrix," said Ligurious.	10
9	112	"Yes, my Tatrix," said Ligurious.	10
9	114	"It is part of a plan, my Tatrix," said Ligurious.	10
9	264	I was a Tatrix.	10
10	12	The people seemed enthusiastically appreciative of the governance of the Tatrix and made light of shortages.	10
10	15	The people were supportive of the policies of the palace, loyal to the state and personally devoted to their beloved Tatrix.	10
10	103	"You are a Tatrix".	10
10	136	I am a Tatrix.	10
10	138	"Yes, Tatrix," he said.	10
10	142	"Yes, Tatrix," he said.	10
10	144	"No, Tatrix," he said.	10
10	163	They are devoted to their Tatrix".	10
11	106	"Perhaps she should be Tatrix of Corcyrus, and not I," I said, angrily.	10
11	109	"I am the Tatrix of Corcyrus, am I not?" I asked.	10
11	112	"How is it that I was brought here, to be Tatrix?" "We wished to go outside the city," he said, "to find one from the outside, free of all connections and factions, to rule over us with wisdom and objectivity".	10
11	114	"Then I am truly the Tatrix of Corcyrus".	10
11	200	In the slippers, interestingly, I felt again the Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
11	216	"Such matters need not concern the Tatrix," he said.	10
11	245	"Am I not the Tatrix of Corcyrus?" I demanded.	10
12	124	"Farewell, Lady Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus," he said.	10
13	20	"Greetings, Sheila," he said, "Tatrix of Corcyrus".	10
13	22	"My name is Tiffany Collins!" "She is Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus!" cried men in the crowd.	10
13	38	"Greetings, Lady Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus".	10
13	53	"You are Susan, are you not," inquired Miles of Argentum, "who was as personal serving slave to Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus?" "Yes, Master," she said.	10
13	62	"She is she who was to me as Mistress," said Susan, sobbing, "she whom I served, Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus".	10
13	105	"She is Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus," said Drusus Rencius.	10
13	132	"Behold the Tatrix of Corcyrus," called Miles of Argentum, indicating me with a sweeping gesture, "helpless, and in chains!" There was a wild cheer from the crowd, almost a shriek, as though for blood.	10
15	12	This was perhaps because it was still within the range of Corcyrus, and perhaps, too, because of a special captive, a Tatrix, thought to be chained in a suspended cage.	10
16	293	What sport then, I thought, must Drusus Rencius have had of me in Corcyrus! What a clever joke he had played upon me, the beast! Was that not a pleasant vengeance to take upon she who had so frequently discomfited him, she whom he then believed to be proud Sheila, the arrogant tatrix of Corcyrus? I ...	10
17	27	I feared for a moment he might recognize me as Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
17	31	How far I was from the department store, from my apartment, from my world! And how far, too, I found myself from the luxury, the display, the ceremony and glory, the spectacle, of mysterious Corcyrus; how far from the corridors of a guarded palace, from the resplendent, cumbersome pomp of state robe...	10
17	35	I was chained as though I might be a slave! I trusted that no one would recognize in this pathetic, slim, exposed, shackled woman, so utterly helpless, the notorious and avidly sought fugitive tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
17	63	I trusted no one would recognize in me the fugitive Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
17	308	How pleased I was to have sentenced him to his humiliation, pronouncing the judgment of the Tatrix against him! How pleased I was to have seen him dragged by guards from my august presence.	10
18	30	"You are Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus!" "No," I whispered.	10
18	39	"It is pleasant for one such as I to be called 'Sir' by the Tatrix of Corcyrus," he said.	10
18	71	"It will be delicious," he said, "having the Tatrix of Corcyrus, a free woman, serve me as though she might be a mere slave, and with the full offices and services of the slave".	10
18	144	After all, I was a free woman, and the Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
18	190	"I, Speusippus," he said, whispering intimately to me, "have the Tatrix of Corcyrus naked and on a slave leash".	10
18	232	"The lofty Tatrix of Corcyrus now better, I think, understands her relationship to me.	10
19	27	It was sleeveless, scandalously short and its neckline plunged to my belly, but I welcomed it as though it might have been the most splendid gown in the wardrobe of a Tatrix.	10
19	38	"Now say, 'I, Lady Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus, kneel naked, my knees open, before Speusippus of Turia.	10
19	39	'" "I, Lady Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus," I said, "kneel naked, my knees open, before Speusippus of Turia".	10
19	62	"Enslave me! Give me no choice! Do not make me do this of my own will!" "Say," he said, "'I, Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus, naked and on my belly, of my own free will, beg to please Speusippus of Turia.	10
19	63	'" "I, Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus," I said, "naked and on my belly, of my own free will, beg to please Speusippus of Turia".	10
19	151	I then took smaller bites, bites perhaps somewhat more conformable to the dignity of a free woman, a lady and a Tatrix.	10
19	153	For most practical purposes, as he had treated me, even though technically I might be the Tatrix of Corcyrus, I was a half-starved slave.	10
19	154	"I never thought to have the Tatrix of Corcyrus naked and in my trunk," he said.	10
19	158	To be sure, this is the first time it has ever held a Tatrix".	10
19	175	"Sleep tight in your kennel, Lady Sheila, lofty Tatrix of Corcyrus," he said.	10
19	270	I was not a slave! I was a free woman! Yet I must serve him as a slave! How rich, how glorious, was his vengeance on the Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
19	288	Now it was my turn, that of the Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
19	292	Here I, the Tatrix of Corcyrus, doubtless to the amusement of Speusippus, would squirm, and sweat and stink no differently from a slave.	10
19	302	I was the Tatrix of Corcyrus! And yet I had been worked like a slave, and used like a slave, and had served as a slave! I had been degraded and humiliated.	10
20	10	It amused him putting me, the Tatrix of Corcyrus, to work in this fashion.	10
20	29	"Remember that you are the Tatrix of Corcyrus, and not a slave," he had later said to me, when I was humbly serving him his supper.	10
20	37	It must have amused him to see the Tatrix of Corcyrus so zealous to please him, so much in his power.	10
20	152	"Remember that you are the Tatrix of Corcyrus, and not a slave," he had said.	10
20	182	Would it not be a splendid jest, now, to take Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus, to the shop of a metal worker, to see her writhe and scream under the iron, to have her fitted with a collar and then lock it on her throat, to make her an actual slave? But he did not seem to have any intention of doing s...	10
20	195	"You have heard about the escape of the Tatrix of Corcyrus?" she asked.	10
21	47	Besides, who would believe that he had ever had the Tatrix of Corcyrus in his keeping? They would surely think him mad.	10
23	285	I did not think anyone would think of looking in a mill for the Tatrix of Corcyrus, and certainly not one in Ar.	10
23	324	"You are already a slave for certain, Tiffany, and you know it," a voice seemed to say from within me, that voice which in the past had seemed to speak to me, too, though usually in the quarters of the Tatrix, as when it had ordered me, and I had complied, to kiss a whip or the slave ring.	10
29	121	"Sheila," said Hassan, "the former Tatrix of Corcyrus".	10
29	144	Too, I fear for poor Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus".	10
29	173	"Have you ever seen the Tatrix of Corcyrus, Master?" I asked, beginning to twist under his hands.	10
29	260	"Your resemblance to the Tatrix of Corcyrus is interesting," he said.	10
29	302	I had been in the very arms of the man who sought Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus, and he had not recognized me.	10
29	304	Perhaps even little Susan would not recognize the lofty Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus, in the collared, branded, trained, lascivious pleasure slut, Tiffany, a girl of Feast Slaves, of the Enterprises of Aemilianus, the Plaza of Tarns.	10
30	1	Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus "Why are you fearful?" asked Claudia.	10
30	526	He had had clothing, from the Tatrix, furnished to him from Corcyrus, presumably from her very chambers.	10
30	532	I had been told that I was Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus, that this, here, on Gor, was to be my identity.	10
30	543	It was not, really, that I was not ready for such things, but, rather, that it would be absurd that I, not being the true Tatrix of Corcyrus, should concern myself with them.	10
30	544	I remembered, too, that I had never been able to understand, really, the fear and hatred with which the Tatrix was viewed.	10
30	546	These feelings, it now seemed clear to me, would doubtless have been the results of the acts and policies of the true Sheila, the real Tatrix.	10
30	553	What I had not realized until now was that she must also have been the true Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
30	559	If things should go badly in Corcyrus for Ligurious and the Tatrix, if the people should rise, if the projected war for the mines of Argentum, which must have been truly theirs, turned out badly, they might escape, leaving behind them a pretty little proxy, a naive surrogate, on which enraged multit...	10
30	561	They had brought me to believe, even, that I actually was Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus, that that, on Gor, at least, was my identity.	10
30	564	Thousands would be able to identify me as the Tatrix! But their plans had gone awry.	10
30	568	Thus, instead of the matter of Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus, supposedly being concluded with an impalement on the walls of Argentum, following which Ligurious and the real Sheila, under new identities, and doubtless with salvaged riches, might proceed almost wherever they might please, an intensiv...	10
30	569	Ligurious and Sheila had expected me to be identified as the Tatrix and shipped under lock and key to Argentum, there to be impaled; they had not expected me to escape; they had not counted on sleen.	10
30	602	"To Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus," said Miles.	10
30	611	"Is this Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus?" asked Miles.	10
30	628	"Is it Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus?" asked Miles of Argentum.	10
30	642	"I think," he said to Drusus Rencius, "this may be Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus".	10
30	643	"Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus," said Drusus Rencius, "has been captured".	10
31	132	"You startled me! I am not Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus! I am Tiffany, only a slave, Tiffany, only of Feast Slaves, of the Enterprises of Aemilianus!" "Of course," he smiled.	10
31	134	I saw he believed me to be Sheila, the former Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
31	140	"If you are not Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus," he said, "you have nothing to fear".	10
31	151	"I wonder if Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus, has been trained," he said.	10
31	156	"Do you know where the Tatrix of Corcyrus is?" he asked.	10
31	166	"I wonder whatever became of Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus," he said.	10
31	169	"Master?" "Would it not be clever," he said, "to plant a false trail to a decoy, and meanwhile conceal the true Tatrix elsewhere, under a different identity, one unlikely to arouse suspicion, one almost inconceivably inappropriate, to conceal her even, perhaps, as a slave?" "I am Tiffany," I said, "...	10
31	180	"We are going to pretend that you are Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus," he smiled.	10
31	194	"Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus".	10
31	221	"I am Sheila," I said, "the Tatrix of Corcyrus".	10
31	266	"Sheila," I said, "Tatrix of Corcyrus!" "I know," he said.	10
31	338	"It is pleasant to have the Tatrix of Corcyrus naked and on my leash," he said.	10
31	346	"Does Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus, beg to perform on her leash for Miles, general of Argentum?" he inquired.	10
31	382	"I greet you, Lady Sheila, Tatrix of Corcyrus," he said.	10
31	445	Please!" "Does Lady Sheila, the lofty and proud Tatrix of Corcyrus, desire to yield to me as a slave?" he asked.	10
31	456	"It is pleasant to enjoy the Tatrix of Corcyrus," he said.	10
31	464	"It is pleasant to have had the Tatrix of Corcyrus," he said.	10
31	514	Though he had not spoken to me, save to summon me imperiously to him, I had little doubt that he was still thinking of me in terms of Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
31	515	What a rich joke on the proud Tatrix! What a splendid lesson for the captured sovereign, to be subjected to a mere convenience use in the early morning, and then to be spurned to her place at a slave ring.	10
31	547	He seemed to think of me not as the helpless and lowly slave I was, a mere girl rented for his pleasure for an evening, but as though I were a high lady and free captive, Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus, who was then, perhaps in his vengeance on her for her escape from his camp, to be humiliated and ...	10
31	559	It was not my fault if I bore some remote resemblance to Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
31	718	What a tribute to their attractiveness, and their skills as a slave! How they must compete with one another, I thought, to become the favorite! But how much better, I thought, to be the single slave of one's master, and to learn him, and serve him, with heat and devotion, regularly, day in and day o...	10
31	744	"It is not my fault if I bear a resemblance to Sheila, the Tatrix of Corcyrus," I said.	10
31	761	These seem suitable tasks for the former Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
32	73	In return for immunity I have volunteered to give evidence for the state of Argentum in the identification of the Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
32	76	There is some dispute, you see, as to who is the true Tatrix of Corcyrus, she who is even now suspended in the golden sack near the ceiling in this very room, or yourself, helpless now before me on the tiles.	10
32	79	He will doubtless identify you as the true Tatrix, as he did before.	10
32	80	We saw to it that he, like several others, knew only you as the Tatrix.	10
32	82	This will be presented to Claudius, the Ubar, and the high council, as the clothing of the Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
32	88	He will receive information, purportedly from Hassan, that he had the wrong girl and that you, as he now recognizes, are the true Tatrix.	10
32	91	He, in any case, is convinced, as you probably know, that it is you, and not the other woman, who is the Tatrix.	10
32	92	This, of course, is because we saw to it that he, like certain others, would know only you as the Tatrix.	10
32	93	He will identify you as the true Tatrix, for he knows you as such, with the same conviction as Drusus Rencius, and others.	10
32	95	And, of course, I, too, shall identify you as the true Tatrix.	10
32	153	It was the first time I had well looked on the former Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
32	163	Once, I supposed, there might have been considerable differences of other sorts, not physical, separating us, differences of demeanor and attitude, differences of posture, or body language, of expression, of command or regality, and surely so, from what I had heard of the imperious, tyrannous Sheila...	10
32	232	Behind him, naked, bound hand and foot, gagged, kneeling, was Sheila, the former Tatrix of Corcyrus.	10
32	242	"I am not the Tatrix of Corcyrus," I said.	10
32	330	"Perhaps you are the Tatrix of Corcyrus," he mused.	10
32	340	"I was not the Tatrix of Corcyrus!" I said.	10
33	24	There, abetted by the people of that city, we defeated the forces of the Tatrix of Corcyrus and overthrew her tyrannous regime".	10
33	40	"The villainess in this matter, the culprit, the instigator of these hostilities, was Sheila, the cruel and wicked Tatrix of Corcyrus".	10
33	54	"It is now time," said Claudius, "to have Sheila, the former Tatrix of Corcyrus, presented before her conquerors, to await their pleasure!" There was applause.	10
33	58	What many of you may not know is that I was also the secret leader of the resistance in Corcyrus to the rule of Sheila, the Tatrix.	10
33	65	"In this time, of course, I was often in close converse with the Tatrix.	10
33	84	"Yes," he said, "that is she! That is the infamous Tatrix of Corcyrus!" She uttered wild, tiny, desperate, muted sounds, shaking her head wildly.	10
33	125	"Do you believe her to be the Tatrix of Corcyrus?" asked Claudius.	10
