Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
15 4 "The workers of the Fungus-Trays," said Misk, "break off both ends of the torch and climb about on the trays with the torch in their teeth".
Details
10
14 187 "This is a Mul-Torch," said Misk, "used by the Muls who raise fungus in darkened chambers.
Details
10
14 189 I knew that the Priest-King had no need of the torch.
Details
10
15 1 In the Secret Chamber Holding the slender Mul-Torch over my head, I peered into the cavern now revealed in the floor of Misk's chamber.
Details
10
15 3 There seemed to be very little heat from the bluish flame of the Mul-Torch but, considering the size of the flame, a surprising amount of light.
Details
10
15 5 I had no mind to do this, but I did grasp the torch in my teeth with one end lit and, hand over hand, lower myself down the knotted rope.
Details
10
15 14 When I arrived at the bottom of the rope, some forty feet below, I held the torch over my head and found myself in a bare, simple chamber.
Details
10
15 25 I thrust the torch I carried into a crevice in the wall and, standing before Misk, I raised my arms over my head, extending them towards him.
Details
10
15 37 The only light in the chamber was from my bluish torch.
Details
10
15 39 The room was apparently large, for portions of it were lost in the shadows from the torch.
Details
10
15 45 I held the torch high and looked at the Priest-King, who was rather small for a Priest-King, being only about twelve feet long.
Details
10
15 96 My torch lifted, I regarded with awe the inert body of the young Priest-King on the stone table.
Details
10
16 2 I could see the disklike eyes in that golden head above me and see the flicker of the blue torch on their myriad surfaces.
Details
10
16 15 I rushed to the figure on the table, the torch held as though to strike it.
Details
10
16 103 The torch seemed to tremble in my hand.
Details
10
16 117 My eyes smarted, I suppose from some heat or fume of the Mul-Torch.
Details
10
16 123 Inwardly I cursed the Mul-Torch that had brought tears to the eyes of a Warrior of Ko-ro-ba.
Details
10
16 200 I puzzled on the many things which Misk had told me, and then I looked up at him, lifting my torch that I might better see that great head with its rich, disklike, luminous eyes.
Details
10
16 210 I was silent and Misk did not speak and the only noise in that paneled metallic laboratory that was the cradle of a Priest-King was the soft crackle of the blue torch I held.
Details
10
16 226 Misk left the room and I, bearing the torch, followed him.
Details
10
21 3 At the entrance to the chamber, from a rack, Mul-Al-Ka had taken a Mul-Torch and broken off its end.
Details
10
21 4 Holding this over his head, he illuminated those portions of the chamber to which the light of the torch would reach.
Details
10
21 13 Mul-Al-Ka lifted the torch as high as he could.
Details
10
21 24 "Give me the torch," I said.
Details
10
21 25 I took the torch and went around to the edges of the room.
Details
10
21 27 Taking the torch in my teeth I prepared to climb the set of bars.
Details
10
21 36 Grinding out the Mul-Torch on the stones, I crouched down with them behind some of this debris and together we watched the door.
Details
10
21 43 Then, as we crouched in the darkness of the far side of the chamber, the doors opposite us swung open and we observed two long lines of strange men, marching abreast, each of whom carried a Mul-Torch in one hand and in the other by a handle what resembled a deflated wineskin of golden leather.
Details
10
21 73 I broke off the other end of the Mul-Torch, igniting it, and walked to the center of the chamber.
Details
10
22 2 Putting the torch in my teeth, I began to climb the bars rapidly.
Details
10
22 6 Still holding the Mul-Torch in my teeth because I wanted both hands free I began to make my way toward Misk, hand and foot, across these metal extensions.
Details
10
22 11 My mouth seemed to be filled with carbon and I realized I must have almost bitten through the Mul-Torch.
Details
10
22 23 I took the Mul-Torch out of my mouth and spit out some particles of carbon.
Details
10
22 24 I lifted the torch and looked at Misk.
Details
10
22 82 I thrust the Mul-Torch which I still carried into a narrow iron receptacle, consisting mainly of two connected rings and a base plate, which was bolted to the wall.
Details
10
23 3 I held the Mul-Torch over my head and beheld the foul cavern in which she lay on a bedding of soiled mosses and stems.
Details
10
23 44 I turned my back on Vika of Treve and, carrying the torch, left the cavern.
Details
10
23 46 I returned and held the torch and her body was the same as before, the eyes fixed with the same expression of frozen horror, so I left the chamber.
Details
10
23 48 I held my sword in my right hand and the Mul-Torch in my left.
Details
10
23 50 It was a long, eerie search, in the blue light of the Mul-Torch, thrusting it into one crevice and another, trying one passage and then the next.
Details
10
23 52 But still, as the Mul-Torch burned lower and I yet encountered no sign of the Golden Beetle, my thoughts turned ever and again to the still form of Vika lying in the cavern of the Golden Beetle.
Details
10
23 60 I burst into the cavern of the Golden Beetle and held the torch high.
Details
10
23 62 "Forgive me!" I fell to my knees beside her and thrust the Mul-Torch into a space between two stones in the floor.
Details
10
24 17 It occurred to me then that the light of the Mul-Torch burning in the invariably dark tunnels of its domain may have temporarily blinded or disoriented the creature.
Details
10
24 18 More likely the smell of the torch's oxidation products suddenly permeating its delicate antennae would have been as cacophonous to it as some protracted, discordant bedlam of noises might have been to us.
Details
10
24 20 I seized the Mul-Torch from between the stones where I had placed it and, with a great shout, thrust it towards the creature's face.
Details
10
24 41 Walking backwards, Vika on my shoulder, the Mul-Torch in my hand, I slowly retreated from the cavern of the Golden Beetle.
Details
10
24 57 I leaned the Mul-Torch against the side of the passage.
Details
10
24 75 The Mul-Torch was little more now than a glowing stub.
Details
10
25 9 The Mul-Torch began to sputter.
Details
10
25 23 As I prepared to resheath the sword I heard a slight noise in the passage and, in the light of the dying Mul-Torch, without moving, I waited.
Details
10
25 33 The Mul-Torch suddenly sputtered out, leaving us in darkness.
Details
10
25 53 In the vicinity of the portal itself I remembered, when I had had the Mul-Torch, seeing a ventilation shaft some twenty or thirty yards inside the passage and fixed in the ceiling of the passage some nine feet from the floor.
Details
10
26 261 As I thought of our primeval ancestor standing in the mouth of his cave one hand gripping a chipped stone and perhaps the other a torch, his mate behind him and his young hidden in the mosses at the back of the cave I wondered at the genetic gifts that would ensure the survival of man in so hostile ...
Details
10
28 18 And as I waited on the still disk in the darkness, my weapon ready, I suddenly saw far down the tunnel the sudden blue flash of an opened Mul-Torch and then its steady blaze, and then I saw another flash and blaze and another and to my amazement it seemed that these fires hung from the very ceiling ...

28 41 "I admire them," said Al-Ka, "for they can see a thousand yards in the darkness by the light of a single Mul-Torch and they can live on a handful of fungus and a swallow of water a day and they are very brave and proud".
Details
10
28 64 In the dome of the Vivarium, holding a Mul-Torch, I walked up the ramps to the fourth tier, noting that the cages had been emptied, but I suspected that there would be one that would have remained locked.
Details
10
28 66 She crouched in the corner of the case away from the door in the darkness, and through the plastic I saw her in the blue radiance of the Mul-Torch.
Details
10
28 74 She stood before me blinking against the light of the Mul-Torch, trying to smile.
Details
10
28 169 And a simple heat torch, as I had earlier learned, could scarcely mark the obdurate material.
Details
10
28 176 It unnerved the Priest-Kings to pass unknowingly within feet of, say, a pale, agile fellow from the Fungus Chambers, who might be crouching in a nearby ventilator shaft with a heat torch, who might have burned their antennae for them if he had pleased; or to suddenly find themselves surrounded by a ...

Details
10
14 79 Aside from his weeping I could hear only the crackle of the torch that lit the interior of the rent dome.
Details
10
21 5 The whole was then drenched in fragrant oils, and that dawn of the retreat, Kamchak, by his own hand, hurled the torch into the wagon.

26 142 Kamchak now gave his kaiila to a subordinate and, on foot, carrying torch and quiva, began to prowl down the passage, beside him the two snarling sleen, behind him Harold and I, and the rest of his men, several with torches, even the slaves with gold.
