Book 1. (21 results) Tarnsman of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
1	39	The first thing I did was check my compass, as if I knew what I was up to, and then proceeded to leave the highway well behind me.	10
1	172	The important thing was not to be at the old camp.	10
1	199	The next thing I was running like a demented animal, in any direction, every direction.	10
1	220	Feeling was the important thing.	10
3	284	The next thing I knew his beak was open; I caught a brief sight of his thin, sharp tongue, as long as a man's arm, darting out and back, and then, snapping at me, he lunged forward, striking at me with that monstrous beak, and I heard the Older Tarl cry out in horror, "The goad! The goad!".	10
4	9	Without knowing why, and thinking I was better off to have the thing in retreat, I seized my tarn whistle and blew its shrill note.	10
5	174	Or perhaps I should bless the fighting spirit of that plumed giant, my war tarn, that terrible thing the Older Tarl had called a tarn of tarns.	10
6	74	I fastened my eyes on the blue sky, wanting it to be the last thing I looked upon.	10
9	56	Its one bleared eye regarded us blankly for a moment, and then the thing moved on.	10
9	130	"What news of the Home Stone of Ar and the daughter of Marlenus?" I asked, feeling it would be the sort of thing the warrior would expect me to be interested in.	10
10	119	To me, the most puzzling thing about the domesticated tharlarions, and the way in which they differed most obviously from wild tharlarions and the lizards of my native planet, was their stamina, their capacity for sustained movement.	10
10	168	"Take this thing off," she commanded.	10
12	64	Of one thing I was certain—there would be no human assistance or even pity, for the poor wretches on the frames are none but villains, betrayers, and blasphemers against the Priest-Kings, and it is a sacrilegious act even to consider terminating their sufferings.	10
12	149	The first thing I did was unseal one of the two water flasks and open the dried rations.	10
12	172	When the tarn had fed, I walked over to him, speaking familiarly, as if I might be doing the most customary thing on Gor.	10
13	99	The thing stumbled forward, reaching for me, and fell to the ground with a tiny, moaning sound.	10
14	109	It was a stupid thing to say, but I felt that it was not yet my time to die.	10
15	34	I noted one thing that seemed puzzling for a moment.	10
15	75	Still I would not speak, not while he controlled a weapon; unfortunately, the first thing a Gorean warrior is likely to do to the stranger in his tent is kill him, the second is to find out who he is.	10
16	63	One thing at least remained to be done: there must be an attempt to rescue Talena.	10
19	138	That sort of thing would be effective only once with a given player, but in swordplay once would be sufficient.	10

Book 2. (10 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
2	41	For them a city is almost a living thing, or more than a living thing.	10
4	12	As I tore the thing from my leg, glad that the sting had not been that of the venomous ost, the three hurtling moons of Gor broke from the dark cover of the clouds.	10
4	78	It was a thing I could see, could feel, could fight! With an eagerness and a lust that matched that of the beast itself, I rushed forward in the darkness and when I judged its leap I lunged forward with the broad-headed spear of Gor.	10
6	143	Then, for a Gorean woman, she did an incredible thing.	10
15	57	Had I not cried "Tabuk!"? Was this thing it had seized not now to be devoured? Was it not prey? I shoved the tarn back and away from the girl, and gathered her in my arms.	10
20	52	I knew the hatred of men is but a feeble thing compared to the hatred of women, and I wondered how much it would take to slake the thirst for vengeance of such a woman as Dorna the Proud.	10
20	122	I talked to him for perhaps an hour, a foolish thing to do perhaps, and then gave his beak a hardy slap and shoved it from me.	10
21	102	One thing was clear.	10
24	97	"Is it right that the men of Tharna lift their weapons against one another, men within the same walls?" "It is a sad thing," said Kron.	10
26	42	It is perhaps a small thing to see on the belt of an artisan a silver buckle of the style worn in mountainous Thentis or to note the delicacy of dried eels from Port Kar in the marketplace, but these things, small though they are, speak to me of a new Tharna.	10

Book 3. (26 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
2	62	Some four days into the mountains I heard for the first time in my journey the sound of a thing other than the wind, the sighing of snow and the groaning of ice; it was the sound of a living thing; the sound of a mountain larl.	10
1	99	He had disobeyed and he had been destroyed, immediately and with grotesque dispatch, but the important thing was, I told myself, that he had disobeyed, that he could disobey, that he had been able to disobey and choose the ignominious death he knew must follow.	10
2	59	I encountered no animals, nor any growing thing, nothing save the endless black rocks, the black cliffs, and the path cut before me in the dark stone.	10
7	97	The safest thing for me would be to continue on as I had been doing, a pattern of action which would give me the benefit of the shield formed by the turn in the passage.	10
8	188	It was a foolish thing to say, and I regretted it immediately.	10
18	72	"Do you think," said Mul-Ba-Ta loftily, "that a Priest-King would have done so foolish a thing with a transportation disk?" "No," said Mul-Al-Ka, his face beaming.	10
19	6	To my surprise his head was crowned with an aromatic wreath of green leaves, the first thing green I had seen in the Nest, and about his neck there hung, besides the invariable translator, a necklace, perhaps of accouterments, perhaps of pure ornaments, small pieces of metal, some shallow and rounde...	10
19	85	"But it will be too many who will know of the thing," I suggested.	10
20	52	Vaguely I sensed that I had heard of this thing somewhere before.	10
20	193	And yet it was not a strange thing, particularly not on Gor, where bravery is highly esteemed and to save a female's life is in effect to win title to it, for it is the option of a Gorean male to enslave any woman whose life he has saved, a right which is seldom denied even by the citizens of the gi...	10
22	120	"It is much the same thing with a Priest-King," said Misk.	10
24	3	It was about the size of a rhinoceros and the first thing I noticed after the glowing eyes were two multiply hooked, tubular, hollow, pincerlike extensions that met at the tips perhaps a yard beyond its body.	10
24	10	I knew the thing before me could slay Priest-Kings.	10
24	23	One thing was clear.	10
25	6	I leaped forward and thrust my hand under the wing shell and seized the short, tufted antennae and with one hand on them twisting and the other beneath the shell I slowly managed, lifting and twisting, to force the struggling creature onto its back and when it lay on its back, rocking, its short leg...	10
25	69	I do not know if I lost consciousness or not but I suppose I may have, for the next thing I remember was that the pain had gone from my body and that I lay against the wall weak and sick.	10
25	86	There seemed to be but one thing to do.	10
26	129	"For one thing," she said, "I belong to you".	10
27	5	I was less pleased to have left the translator with the disk but it seemed the better thing to do, for one would not have taken a translator into the tunnels of the Golden Beetle and if it were found missing from the disk it might occasion speculation not that I had returned from the tunnels of the ...	10
27	114	But on the platform before which these golden creatures stood there lay the Mother, perhaps blind, almost insensate, the large, feeble thing they revered, weak, brownish, withered, the huge worn body at last wrinkled and empty.	10
28	199	"Because," I said, "there is no such thing as a gravitationally resistant metal".	10
28	205	"Therefore," I said, "there is no such thing as a gravitationally resistant metal".	10
30	176	"What a piteous thing you are," she said to me, "and how golden and strong and brave and fine is a Priest-King!" And Sarm would extend his antennae down to her that she might delicately brush the small golden hairs which adorned them.	10
32	128	"For one thing," said Misk, "the plant built by Muls is probably fundamentally ineffective to begin with; for another if it is constructed of parts stolen over centuries it would be probably impossible to achieve satisfactory component integration with the elements in the Ur disrupter".	10
32	148	"Do you wish this thing, Tarl Cabot?" he asked.	10
32	151	"Do you, too, wish this thing?" he asked.	10

Book 4. (31 results) Nomads of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
8	293	In the run the important thing was time, the dispatch and the skill with which the thing was accomplished.	10
7	13	There were also, among the other goods, two girls, blonde and blue-eyed, unclothed, chained; they had perhaps been a gift to Kutaituchik; or had been the daughters of enemies; they might have been from any city; both were beautiful; one was sitting with her knees tucked under her chin, her hands cla...	10
7	206	Who, or what, could dare such a thing? Besides, how did I know that the message was not from Priest-Kings? I knew, as Kamchak and Kutaituchik did not, of the recent Nest War beneath the Sardar, and of the disruption in the technological complexes of the Nest—who knew to what primitive devices...	10
8	12	It seemed, upon reflection, the best thing to do.	10
8	27	I originally regarded the Omen Year as a rather pointless institution, but I came to see later that there is much to be said for it: it brings the Wagon Peoples together from time to time, and in this time, aside from the simple values of being together, there is much bosk trading and some exchange ...	10
8	204	To my amazement Elizabeth Cardwell, too, seemed rather pleased with the whole thing, though for what reason I could scarcely understand.	10
9	51	Saphrar, eyes closed, was nibbling on a tiny thing, still quivering, which had been impaled on a colored stick.	10
9	311	"It is one thing to order the death of a Tuchuk," he said.	10
11	234	When I had first seen this thing, heaped with other odds and ends in one corner of the wagon, some of the odds and ends being tankards of jewels and small, heavy chests filled with golden tarn disks, I had thought it merely a rock.	10
12	13	It did not seem to me a worthy thing to betray the hospitality of Tuchuks by attempting to purloin an object which obviously they held to be of great value.	10
12	355	The last thing I needed in the dangerous mission ahead was to be burdened with a slave girl.	10
12	383	"Watch, you miserable cooking-pot wenches," he said, "and learn a thing or two!" A silence came over the crowd.	10
16	35	It is one thing to descend a long rope and quite another, even in the lesser gravity of Gor, to climb one—particularly one as long as that which I now saw dimly above me.	10
16	59	It is one thing to roll about in a public bath or splash about in some pool or stream, but quite another to struggle for pasangs against a current in a tunnel channel with only a few inches between the water and the roof of the tunnel.	10
16	222	"The collar was sewn on the girl in this very house," said he, "though the poor thing was anesthetized at the time and unaware of the honor bestowed upon her".	10
17	46	The expression on his face was much the same as that I had seen at the banquet, when he had prepared to eat the small, quivering thing impaled on the colored stick.	10
17	65	I hoped it would be only one thing.	10
18	2	I cried out suddenly in alarm horrified at my predicament and struggled to turn back and wade to the edge of the marbled basin that was the cage of the thing in which I was, but the fluid, tightening about me, now seemed to have the consistency of a rich yellow, hot mud and then, by the time I had r...	10
18	61	Quiva in my teeth I dove toward the deepest part of the Yellow Pool of Turia, where glowed the quickness and substance of the living thing in which I swam.	10
21	211	He had done the wise thing.	10
21	213	It had been, in its way, a courageous thing for him to do.	10
22	26	One thing troubled me.	10
22	55	"I of course recommended the same rank for myself," said Harold, "inasmuch as I am the one who really carried the thing off".	10
24	29	I asked him about this, for Tuchuk warfare, as I understood it, was complete, leaving no living thing in its wake, killing even domestic animals and poisoning wells.	10
25	621	And yet this beautiful, soft, proud thing stood there, though ringed and branded, though collared, bold and brazen flinging at me, eyes bright, her challenge, the eternal challenge of the unconquered female, that of the untamed woman, daring the male to touch her, to try, she resisting, to reduce he...	10
26	311	I became aware of a strong odor, of rottenness, exuding from the shattered thing which lay before me.	10
26	331	"Do you truly think we would permit enemies to know the whereabouts of such a thing?" I looked at Kamchak, tears in my eyes.	10
26	458	"I needed only one last thing," said he, "Tarl Cabot".	10
26	469	"In your place, I think I might well have done the same thing".	10
26	495	I recalled Kamchak sitting on the gray, rather squarish, grained thing with the rounded corners.	10
26	538	"The important thing," I said, "is that Aphris is back and safe".	10

Book 5. (34 results) Assassin of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
1	78	There is no such thing as justice, said Kuurus, to himself.	10
2	6	The city had fallen and Pa-Kur, though of low caste, had aspired to inherit the imperial mantle of Marlenus, had dared to lift his eyes to the throne of Empire and place about his neck the golden medallion of a Ubar, a thing forbidden to such as he in the myths of the Counter-Earth.	10
2	74	The little thing, misshapen with its large head, scrambled limping and leaping like a broken-legged urt to the counter behind which stood the man in the grimy tunic, who was wiping out a paga bowl.	10
2	75	"Hide Hup!" cried the thing.	10
2	101	Hup was indeed an ugly thing, for he was small, and yet thick, almost bulbous, and under the dirty tunic, perhaps that of the potters, there bulged the hump of some grotesque growth.	10
2	172	"I am of the opinion," said the man, "that it is a good thing we have those in the black tunic back amongst us".	10
2	289	"There is another strange thing about that house I do not understand," said Portus.	10
2	307	The only thing they understand is the whip".	10
2	352	"It is a dangerous thing you are doing, Elizabeth," said Kuurus.	10
3	84	The most startling thing to me about the man was not that he was older than one commonly sees in the streets of a Gorean city, but rather that he was clearly blind.	10
5	357	"Doubtless," said Misk, "but the interesting thing to Priest-Kings is that the Others, rational and advanced creatures presumably, have elected this primitive fashion of controlling their population".	10
5	627	In such a small thing as these knots I was again reminded of the central differences in sex and personality that divide human beings, differences expressed in thousands of subtleties, many of which are often overlooked, as in the way a piece of cloth might be folded, a letter formed, a color remembe...	10
5	638	Also, as she was, legally, having submitted in the House of Cernus, a slave girl, any small thing she had or could do which was her own was doubtless rather precious to her.	10
5	642	This sort of thing was trivial, but one never knew when something less trivial might perhaps be involved.	10
5	643	It seemed to me, all things considered, though it was a bother for me, a good thing that Elizabeth had her own knot.	10
5	649	"The important thing," I said, "is that it is done correctly".	10
8	79	She was generally intrigued, though frightened when I spoke of the thing called the beast, and distressed when I mentioned the girls brought from Earth, to be sold as slaves from the House of Cernus.	10
9	30	This type of thing is at its worst when large numbers of girls must be sold, as when a city has fallen.	10
10	110	"The thing you call the beast," I said, "lies through that door".	10
11	290	"It is true that in much of the history of the Earth the sort of thing you say was done".	10
11	323	I do think, of course, that the Gorean population tends to be more physically fit and mentally acute than that of Earth, but I would rate them provisionally rather than essentially superior in these respects; for example, Goreans live much out of doors and, as a very natural thing, celebrate the bea...	10
12	127	"I favor the Greens," I said, saying the first thing that came into my mind.	10
13	18	It is one thing to drop a loop about a girl on a high bridge in streaking over the walls and quite another to pick up the daughter of an Administrator in her own quarters and make off with her.	10
15	113	For one thing he never slew an opponent, though the man often could never fight again; the afternoon I had seen him the crowd cried for the death of his defeated opponent, lying bloodied in the sand, pleading for mercy between his legs, and Murmillius had lifted his sword as though to slay the man, ...	10
15	184	They were the women of inferior men who had been unable to protect them; such men would be conquered when one wished; their women belonged to those who could take them, who would be the victorious; hence they were of slave stock, by nature; that this sort of thing had occurred always, and would alwa...	10
15	225	In the beginning, when moving about the house, the girls had been permitted only the garb customarily worn in the sweat and motion of the training, a rectangle of silk, about a foot long, thrust into a silken string knotted about the waist; Virginia and Phyllis would not even leave their cells so cl...	10
15	332	One thing of that sort I recall is a trick where the girl feeds the master a grape held between her teeth.	10
15	353	One thing that I thought was nice was that Elizabeth had asked Sura about the dance she had begun to perform but could not finish, when we had first come to the house of Cernus, the dance which is accompanied by the Tuchuk slave song.	10
17	270	"I would never think of such a thing," protested Elizabeth, wide-eyed.	10
18	248	"One thing more to this little story," said Flaminius.	10
18	294	The thing behind the door was no longer making noise, and the door was no longer pressing against the beams; from where I stood I could hear the bolt on the inside being thrust back in place, locking it from the inside.	10
22	33	Then, not taking its eyes from us, it put down its beak and tore an arm from the thing beneath its talons.	10
22	448	It is one thing to force a bird or rider into the padded bars, and another against the great, swinging knives that were now the rings.	10
23	207	I saw the webbing on which the thing had apparently slept, judged its strength, noted its width.	10

3	143	There were cries from all, of wonder and astonishment, for they would not have believed such a thing possible.	10
4	79	I now knew the sort of thing I was, and in my worthless heart it so sickened me that I did not much care now whether I lived or died.	10
11	228	The thing fastened on the rack threw back its head on the cords, screaming only with his eyes.	10
11	253	With a rattle of cord and chain the wheels spun back and the thing on the rack began to jabber and whimper and laugh.	10
11	474	For one thing, the Council has newly come to power.	10
12	38	Knife again between my teeth, pulling the bound thing from the sack, I shoved its head above the water.	10
13	191	"One thing more," said Chenbar.	10
13	298	It is the last thing that is done for the ship before it is first launched.	10
13	299	The painting of the eyes reflects the Gorean seaman's belief that the ship is a living thing.	10
14	87	The important thing, as I saw it, was not so much the absolute numbers of ships involved as the numbers of ships that could be applied at a given place and given time.	10
15	117	For one thing, they had now formed a Council Guard, with its distinct livery, that was now recognized as a force of the Council, and, in effect, as the police of the city.	10
15	119	For another thing, the four Ubars, Chung, Eteocles, Nigel and Sullius Maximus, their powers considerably reduced during the time of the unsuccessful coup of Henrius Sevarius, had apparently resigned themselves to the supremacy of the Council in the city.	10
16	1	What Occurred One Night in Port Kar I held the sweet, loving, uncollared thing in my arms.	10
16	208	"There is only one thing to do," he said, "and that is to ready our ships, take our treasure and slaves aboard, and flee.	10

15	987	I would not now lie or cheat or steal, of course, but not now because I did not care for that sort of thing, or did not wish to behave in such a fashion, but primarily because I was not the sort of person who would do that sort of thing.	10
17	167	For what place could there be for this other thing in the war camp of Rask of Treve? But mostly we sported and pleasured, hiding from ourselves this other thing, both of us perhaps not wishing to speak it.	10
2	133	Surely it was a simple thing to descend to the terrace below! I was very clever.	10
3	73	"You aren't the cold, inert little thing you pretend to be, are you, bound slut," he said.	10
5	222	The thing suddenly struck at me.	10
6	228	I was rescued, and that was the important thing.	10
6	231	The important thing was that I was now safe, that I had been rescued.	10
6	268	I hated them! I hated them! But the important thing was that I was rescued, that I could soon buy my way home to Earth.	10
6	270	The important thing was that I had been saved, that I was safe.	10
7	374	And Ute, too! Foolish, stupid little Ute, who could not even speak her own language correctly! What could that meaningless little thing, pretty as she was, ever be but a man's toy? She was a natural slave girl! She belonged in chains.	10
7	531	I remembered that the large man, on the planet Earth, had said to me this thing.	10
8	672	It was an incredibly hideous, large-eyed, furred thing.	10
10	1	What Transpired in the Hut The large-eyed, furred thing blinked at me.	10
10	193	I had toyed with the idea of granting it, not for the hundred dollars, of course, but for piquant frisson involved, the tingling, flattering little thrill of such a transaction, me, Elinor Brinton, selling a kiss, the surprising, unexpected, naughty adventure of it, of pretending, for a moment, that...	10

11	255	"The most terrible thing you do not mind.	10
11	321	The only thing that I did not take into my considerations was the Gorean male.	10
11	323	The only thing I failed to take into my calculations was that the Gorean male, whether by culture or genetic endowment, is unlike the typical man of Earth.	10
11	368	How I resented the strength of men! "Oh, yes, you are a clever little thing," he said.	10
11	496	Ute was such a sweet, stupid little thing.	10
11	1381	I hated Ute, the smug, ugly, stupid little thing.	10
12	570	Ute was such a stupid little thing.	10
13	66	This time I caught the thing, squirming, horned, scaly.	10
13	71	I could keep the thing in the trap.	10
13	175	Perhaps the most extraordinary thing Ute did, to my mind, was, with sticks, a flat piece of wood and some binding fiber, make a small fire drill.	10
14	211	I suspected there were few men as fierce and terrible as those of Treve, dreaded throughout Gor, and yet they enjoyed their wine warmed and were fond of so simple a thing as smoothing the hair of a girl.	10
15	603	I had done this sort of thing often before, when I had picked berries for Targo's caravans.	10
15	974	There was only one thing left to me, in which I might take pride, that I was not as other women.	10
15	1459	I am not a servile thing! I am not a piece of property! I am not a pretty animal that you can buy and sell! I am Elinor Brinton.	10
16	201	Yet, to me, still, such a thing seemed incredible.	10
17	73	I do not think there was another to whom he had ever spoken this small and delicate thing.	10
17	186	I had asked one thing of Rask of Treve, before, stripped, I had entered the tarn basket.	10

2	432	It was, of course, one thing to know this general manner of thing, and another to find Verna's band's camp, or their dancing circle.	10
3	111	She had been a sensuous little thing.	10
6	150	"One thing troubles me," said Rim.	10
6	161	"But," said I, "the important thing to Verna's plan is that Marlenus believe that she holds Talena.	10
6	800	"And yet it is the same thing," she said, "which is done".	10
6	807	We pay attention, commonly, to one thing at a time.	10
7	336	One thing, however, seemed quite clear.	10
11	41	That he had once played a man such as Scormus of Ar or Centius of Cos is the sort of thing that a Gorean grandfather will boast of to his grandchildren.	10
19	57	For one thing, I would have to pass exchange points.	10

10	1	A Kur Will Address the Thing Roped together by the waist, on the turf of the Thing-Fair, we grappled.	10
10	73	Blows are not to be struck at the Thing, but not even the law of the Thing, with all its might, would have the temerity to advise the man of Torvaldsland to arrive or move about unarmed.	10
10	77	Most of the men at the Thing were free farmers, blond-haired, blue-eyed and proud, men with strong limbs and work-roughened hands; many wore braided hair; many wore talmits of their district; for the Thing their holiday best had been donned; many wore heavy woolen jackets, scrubbed with water and bo...	10

1	161	This suggests that there may be a true answer, for how can there be falsity without truth? One thing seems clear to me, that a morality which produces guilt and self-torture, which results in anxiety and agony, which shortens life spans, cannot be the answer.	10
1	367	You cannot even move your left arm! You are a cripple, a cripple! You make me ill! Do you think that one such as I, the daughter of Marlenus of Ar, could care for such a thing? Look upon me.	10
2	81	The most important thing about Kassau, however, was that it was the seat of the High Initiate of the north.	10
6	172	"What of Olga?" whined another wench, sweet and strapping, black-haired; "Do not forget Pretty Ankles, my Jarl," said another wench, a delicious little thing, perhaps not more than sixteen.	10
6	453	"But there is one thing more which the Blue Tooth demanded of me," said Ivar.	10
8	204	"I ask only one thing," she begged, "should you be successful in this mad scheme".	10
8	281	"The Thing will soon be held," he said.	10
8	284	"But surely," I said, "you will not dare, an outlaw, attend the Thing?" "Perhaps," said Ivar.	10
9	1	The Forkbeard Will Attend the Thing "My Jarl!" cried Thyri, running into my arms.	10
9	31	Pet sleen are taught to heel; so, too, sometimes, are bondmaids; I was familiar with this sort of thing, of course; in the south it was quite common for slave girls, in various fashions in various cities, to heel their masters.	10
9	379	The delicious little thing, like the other goods of the hall, was, for most practical purposes, for the use of us all.	10
9	475	Ivar Forkbeard, not wisely perhaps, was determined to attend the Thing.	10
10	33	Thorgeir, it so happened, of course, was the only man of the Ax Glacier country, which is usually taken as the northern border of Torvaldsland, before the ice belts of Gor's arctic north, who was at the Thing-Fair.	10
10	41	That Thorgeir of Ax Glacier had won the swimming must have seemed strange indeed to those of the Thing-Fair.	10
10	45	There was probably not one man at the Thing-Fair who took him truly to be of Ax Glacier; most obviously he did not have the epicanthic fold, which helps to protect the eyes of the men of Ax Glacier against extreme cold; further, he was much too large to be taken easily as a man of Ax Glacier; their ...	10
10	69	But soon I, following the Forkbeard, together with some of his men, pressed in among the throngs of the Thing.	10
10	78	At the Thing, to which each free man must come, unless he works his farm alone and cannot leave it, each man must present, for the inspection of his Jarl's officer, a helmet, shield and either sword or ax or spear, in good condition.	10
10	81	Those farmers who do not attend the Thing, being the sole workers on their farms, must, nonetheless, maintain the regulation armament; once annually it is to be presented before a Jarl's officer, who, for this purpose, visits various districts.	10
10	92	Their eyes were bright; their steps were eager; they had been long isolated on the farm; rural slave girls, the Forkbeard's wenches, they were fantastically stimulated to see the crowds; they looked upon the Thing-Fields with pleasure and excitement; even had they been permitted, some of them, to lo...	10
10	140	She had been brought to the Thing to be sold off.	10
10	145	At the Thing, of course, adjoining squares were lined out for these duels.	10
10	317	The Forkbeard had brought one thrall with him, the young man, Tarsk, who, even now, followed in the retinue of the Forkbeard; it was thought that if the Forkbeard should purchase a crate of sleen fur or a chest of bog iron the young man, on his shoulders, might then bear it back to our tent, pitched...	10
10	595	Few suspected, on this day, in the Thing, that something unprecedented would occur.	10
10	680	It swept like oil, aflame in the wind, through the crowds of the Thing.	10
10	683	"A Kur," it was said, "One of the Kurii would address the assembly of the Thing!" The girl looked at me, pulling against the fiber that bound her wrists.	10
10	692	Then, between the thralls, moaning, crying out, stumbling, a gift being delivered, she was thrust toward the tent of he who was known at the Thing as Thorgeir of Ax Glacier.	10
11	7	The thing, its head lifted, surveyed the assembly of free men.	10
11	294	"The peace of the Thing is upon them!" Men fell back, and, between them, shambling, swiftly moved the three Kurii.	10
11	303	In leaving the Thing-Field I saw, in the distance, a high, snow-capped mountain, steep, sharp, almost like the blade of a bent spear.	10
11	304	I had seen it at various times, but never so clearly as from the Thing-Field.	10
11	305	I suppose the Thing-Field might, partly, have been selected for the aspect of this mountain.	10
12	9	This sort of thing is done more effectively, in my opinion, in the south by means of flags, run commonly from the prow cleats to the height of the stem castle.	10
12	23	"Never in the history of the Thing," called Svein, "has there been so high a winner in the contests as he whom we now proceed to honor".	10
12	30	Never in the history of the Thing has there been so high a winner".	10
12	42	Svein Blue Tooth was obviously pleased that it had been in his Jarlship that six talmits had been won at the Thing by a single, redoubtable champion.	10
12	72	"But the peace of the Thing is upon you," said Svein Blue Tooth.	10
12	76	Be not afraid, for the peace of the Thing is upon you, as on all men here".	10
12	77	"Great Jarl," said Ivar Forkbeard, "will you swear upon me the oath of peace, for the time of the Thing, your personal oath, sworn upon the ring of the temple of Thor?" "It is not necessary," said the Blue Tooth, "but, if you wish, this oath I will swear".	10
12	80	It was held in the hands of the high rune-priest of the Thing.	10
13	54	The high rune-priest of the Thing interposed himself between the violent Blue Tooth and the Forkbeard, who was, innocently, regarding cloud formations.	10
13	79	The issues seemed reasonably clear, though I could catch only snatches of what was said; they concerned the pleasures of boiling the Forkbeard and his retinue alive as opposed to the dangerous precedent which might be set if the peace of the Thing was sundered, and the loss of credit which might acc...	10
13	98	"By tomorrow night," said he, "when the Thing is done, be free of this place.	10
13	99	My oath is for the time of the Thing, and for no longer".	10
13	105	"Never before in the history of the Thing has a champion done this well".	10
13	112	"By tomorrow night," repeated Svein Blue Tooth to the Forkbeard, "when the Thing is done, be free of this place.	10
13	113	My oath is for the time of the Thing, and for no longer".	10
13	270	It is one thing to cheat one not of Torvaldsland, quite another to attempt to defraud one of one's own country, particularly one's Jarl.	10
13	308	From the doors to the hall, swung wide, now approaching, came four figures, Ottar, who had accompanied the Forkbeard to the Thing, two of the Forkbeard's men, with spears, and, between them, clad in rich robes of concealment, such as are worn in the south, even to the veils, the figure of a girl.	10
13	392	It had been done by the hand of Ivar Forkbeard himself, before dawn, some days ago, shortly before his ship had left for the Thing.	10
14	18	The thing roared, head back.	10
14	179	I recalled its words on the platform of the assembly, in the field of the Thing.	10
15	31	The attack had been simultaneously launched, obviously, on the hall and the surrounding Thing-Camps.	10
15	270	From where we stood we could see the black ruins of Svein Blue Tooth's hall and holdings, the desolated Thing-Fields, the sea, Thassa, with the ships at the beach.	10
17	31	In the night of the attack he, at the Forkbeard's encampment near the Thing-Fields, with an ax, had slain a Kur.	10
17	101	They had failed, several days ago, in the Thing Assembly, to intimidate the men of Torvaldsland into furnishing them provisions for their march.	10
17	102	After their devastating victory of the night of Svein Blue Tooth's feast, in which his hall was burned, and the Thing encampments laid waste, they had formed their own camp, and set methodically about gathering supplies for their southern march.	10
17	247	He half crouched, as though waiting, tense, while the thing, the frenzy, the madness, began to burn within him.	10
17	283	It coursed through the thronged warriors; it seemed a tangible thing, communicating itself from one to another; it was almost as though one could see it, but one could not see it, only its effects.	10
17	288	The thing had touched him.	10
17	309	"I must resist this thing".	10
18	39	Shoulder to shoulder, fighting, I saw Bjarni of Thorstein Camp and the young man whom I had championed on the dueling ground in the Thing.	10
18	497	Lying in the dirt, her legs drawn up, her wrists tied behind her back, was the deliciously bodied little wench, dark-haired, in gold silk, now dirtied and torn, in golden collar, and gold earrings, who had exchanged words with Ivar's wool-kirtled wenches at the Thing.	10
18	506	"Your master," said Ivar, thinking, recollecting the captain behind whom he had seen her heeling at the Thing, "is Rolf of Red Fjord".	10
22	1	I Take Ship From the North Slave girls, naked, carrying burdens, loaded the ship of Ivar Forkbeard, the Hilda, moored at the wharf of the Thing-Fields.	10

1	209	When I had probed the girl in the pens, mercilessly, forcing her to recall all details, even apparently meaningless scraps of detail, or information, she had recalled one thing which had seemed puzzling, disturbing.	10

7	574	"That sort of thing is not uncommon for slaves," I said.	10

10	371	The poor thing, however, could not help herself in the arms of a master.	10

26	482	This sort of thing is thought desirable in the Tahari, in encouraging the whip-bearing girl to be more dutiful in the future, and the girls of the gauntlet to resolve, too, to be more dutiful, that it not be they, next, at the mercy of their enemies and rivals, who carries the whip.	10

5	17	This sort of thing, however, varies considerably from city to city.	10
5	839	It had seemed the natural thing to do.	10

9	273	It is a slight, tacit thing that women understand.	10
9	501	Yet it was not the sort of thing a slave girl would naturally ask.	10

24	477	The truly kind master, I think, is he who treats the girl in such a way that she is forced to fulfill her needs in their radical depth and diversity; he gives her no choice but to be a woman, in the full meaning of this word, which is the only thing that can truly, ultimately, make her happy.	10
