11	490	The leashes on the cuffs went behind me, slack, on each side, and then looped up to the keeping of Tupita and Sita, Tupita on my right, Sita on the left.	10
13	1090	"Tupita!" But it was not Tupita, at first, who came into the passageway.	10
31	43	I hoped Tupita had cooked the food well! "Good," said Mirus, congratulating Tupita.	10
11	66	The bells I had heard were apparently on Tupita.	10
11	69	I did not care much for Tupita, and she did not care much for me.	10
11	74	Tupita knelt back from him.	10
11	179	Tupita was "first girl".	10
11	181	I was pleased it had not been Tupita who had come through the curtain and discovered me on my knees, though, to be sure, had she done so, I would have had to kneel before her.	10
11	183	She was an ally of Tupita, and often informed on the other girls.	10
11	189	Last night, a customer had put Tupita at a whipping ring and expressed his displeasure with her attitudes.	10
11	239	"In a bit," she said, "Tupita and I will put the leash cuffs on you".	10
11	270	For example, we would not have wanted to let either Tupita or Sita catch us in such a negligence.	10
11	351	Then I saw Tupita and Sita coming through the beaded curtain.	10
11	353	"Put your wrists out," said Tupita.	10
11	355	Tupita fastened a leather cuff on my right wrist.	10
11	361	Tupita, with the snap ring on the leash, fastened the leash to my right cuff, and Sita fastened the other leash on my left cuff.	10
11	365	Tupita and Sita, similarly, rendered immediate, fearful obeisance.	10
11	374	"Hold the sheet closely about you," said Tupita.	10
11	385	Tupita and Sita, holding the leashes to my cuffs, stood nearby.	10
11	492	Tupita and Sita followed, and, too, small Ina.	10
11	523	"Later," said Mirus, "when our lovely chain-daughters in attendance, Tupita, Sita and Ina, whom some of you well know, and intimately, and whom I recommend to you all, as I also do my lovely assistants, Aynur and Tula, have presented to you another chain-daughter, this lovely slut, their sister in b...	10
11	589	"Come, frightened urt," said Tupita.	10
11	596	Tupita apparently wanted me to be close to the men, that my proximity, I suppose, might stimulate them.	10
11	601	"Stand as you are," said Tupita.	10
11	613	My ankle released, Tupita, aided by Sita, again put me toward the center of the floor, near the front, much where I had stood before.	10
11	659	Tupita and Sita, on my right and left, respectively, stood near to me.	10
11	678	The cuffs I wore, buckled tightly on me, and the taut leashes attached to them, in the keeping of Tupita and Sita, saw to it.	10
11	688	"You are naked before men," whispered Tupita.	10
11	696	Tupita and Sita stood near me, and a little behind me.	10
11	721	"On your back, idiot," said Tupita.	10
11	726	Tupita held down my right wrist, and Sita my left wrist.	10
11	727	"Throw your legs apart or we will do this differently," said Tupita.	10
11	822	"Ina," called Tupita.	10
11	825	Tupita and Sita removed the leather cuffs from my wrists.	10
11	836	I felt metal anklets being thrust on my ankles by Tupita and Sita.	10
11	843	"Stand," said Tupita.	10
11	847	"Prepare to dance, slave," said Tupita.	10
11	868	So, too, with the cuffs and leashes, were Tupita and Sita.	10
11	885	I wanted to show them, too, women such as Tupita and Sita, what a woman of Earth could do to their Gorean masters, how, she, too, could excite them, and twist them with torments of desire, and make them gasp and scream with pleasure! Too, in my anger at having been abandoned by Teibar, who had been ...	10
11	886	He had let me go! But I had sold for two and a half silver tarsks, on my first sale! I had been purchased by Hendow, of Brundisium, who, I had gathered, was noted in this city for having an excellent eye for the selection of slave meat! Certainly the girls in his tavern, Inger, and Tupita, and Ina, ...	10
11	924	Tupita, and the others were there.	10
11	925	"You are good," said Tupita to me, grudgingly.	10
11	1033	As the men sought their places Tupita, Sita and Ina came forward.	10
11	1035	"Sit as you were before," ordered Tupita.	10
11	1038	Tupita began to take the anklets and bracelets from me, putting them in the box.	10
11	1039	"Treasure your silly virginity," said Tupita, "for you will not have it long".	10
11	1041	"By tomorrow," said Tupita, "you, too, will be only a red-silk slut".	10
11	1065	"Now you are as nude as any slut," said Tupita, jerking down on the ribbon on my collar, ascertaining that its fixture there was suitably snug.	10
11	1359	Perhaps those I heard were bound on Tupita's or Sita's well-turned ankle.	10
11	1450	"Dance," said Tupita, apparently from the opening of the alcove.	10
11	1452	The curtain I realized had not been drawn! "He wants you to dance, slave," laughed Tupita.	10
11	1456	"Did you see the "Kef" on her belly?" asked Tupita.	10
11	1460	"There is now a red-silk ribbon on your collar, Doreen," said Tupita.	10
11	1462	"Yes," said Tupita.	10
11	1464	"Why?" asked Tupita.	10
11	1471	"Do you hear pounding?" asked Tupita.	10
11	1474	"Listen," said Tupita.	10
11	1485	"No," laughed Tupita.	10
11	1490	"You are fortunate that I am not a man," laughed Tupita.	10
11	1495	I knew that Tupita was having her sport with me, but, too, I knew that she might beat me tomorrow, in the slave area.	10
11	1500	"'Dance,'" laughed Tupita.	10
11	1517	"You wriggle well, Doreen," called Tupita.	10
11	1520	"Do not stop, slut," warned Tupita.	10
11	1533	"Please him," said Tupita.	10
11	1548	I heard Tupita laughing.	10
11	1550	"Dance," called Tupita.	10
11	1551	I recalled, suddenly, what I had heard, from back on the floor, behind us, when I was being carried on the shoulder of my first use master to the alcove, that fourteen more ostraka would be chosen! "Dance!" laughed Tupita.	10
11	1585	In such a usage, and public as it was, before Tupita, and others, I was well reminded that there was a steel collar on my neck.	10
12	5	"I am here," said Tupita, squirming on her knees, nearby.	10
12	9	"Go away," said Tupita.	10
12	12	"Go away!" said Tupita.	10
12	41	"May I speak, Master?" asked Tupita, with an almost catlike movement of her body.	10
12	46	"And did the name of Tupita not head the list?" she asked, glancing meaningfully at me.	10
12	69	Because of kaissa we had to sometimes wait hours for attentions! Too, I had come to the floor late, Tupita having assigned me cleaning duties in the slave area.	10
12	71	"To be sure, Tupita," he said, giving her head a shake, "such estimations are often quite subjective.	10
12	77	Who knows? "But I have been waiting for you this evening!" said Tupita.	10
12	83	"She is angry," he said, looking after Tupita.	10
12	98	To be sure, this was not the first man I had taken from Tupita.	10
12	108	These things, I thought, would give Tupita at least a bit of pause when she might be tempted to use the switch or bastinado on me.	10
13	67	Tupita had, however, only cast me a glance of hatred.	10
13	164	Tupita came then through the beaded curtain.	10
13	177	"You are good for Tupita," he told me.	10
13	249	"Tupita is your favorite," I whispered, frightened.	10
13	254	"Are you so afraid of Tupita?" he asked.	10
13	259	That interested me, that Tupita might be reduced in rank, to being then only one slut among others, she herself then having to kneel to another girl, be subject to her disciplines, and address her as "Mistress".	10
13	266	"Are you no longer afraid of Tupita?" he asked.	10
13	271	"She has been too closely allied with Tupita," he said.	10
13	318	"Than Aynur, than Tupita?" "Yes," said he.	10
13	380	"I will show you that maybe I am worth five tarsks after all!" "Perhaps I will summon Tupita," he said.	10
13	1065	"Tupita will see to it," said Hendow.	10
13	1089	"Tupita!" I heard him call.	10
13	1105	"But you are the friend of Tupita," I said.	10
13	1106	"Tupita has no friends," she said.	10
13	1110	"It is thought that Tupita is losing her control of the girls," I said.	10
13	1118	"With the others I needed only rely on Tupita's unpopularity, her arbitrariness, her favoritisms, and, naturally, the promise of an easier time under me".	10
13	1129	The beaded curtain parted and Tupita entered the passageway.	10
13	1133	"What is wrong with Mirus?" asked Tupita.	10
13	1137	"It has to do with this slave?" asked Tupita.	10
13	1142	"Here?" said Tupita.	10
13	1145	"Tupita!" protested Sita.	10
13	1207	I was frightened by the intrigues of the slaves, Tupita and Sita, and the other girls.	10
14	167	"What do you think of Tupita?" he asked.	10
14	170	I supposed he knew how cruel Tupita had been to me, how we were enemies.	10
14	171	On the other hand, I had told Tupita I would speak for her.	10
14	178	"Doubtless Tupita believes Sita to be her ally," he said.	10
14	189	"Clearly, then," he said, "you would wish to support Sita over Tupita".	10
14	191	"You favor Tupita then," he said.	10
14	196	"Of the two, Tupita," I said.	10
14	198	"Sita is disloyal to Tupita," I said.	10
14	201	"Do you think that Tupita, were their positions exchanged, would behave differently?" he asked.	10
14	203	"And not because Tupita gave you a pastry?" he asked.	10
14	210	"Only Tupita, first girl, other than staff, and assigned kitchen slaves, had had access to the area before it had been seen to be missing.	10
14	222	"Apparently both Tupita and Sita wished to enlist your support in their cause," he said.	10
15	5	"It is I, first girl, Tupita," I heard, a whisper.	10
15	8	It was the voice of Tupita, of that I was certain.	10
15	51	"I am first girl," said Tupita.	10
16	18	In the moment I had sat up I had seen there were five men in the room, and Tupita, to one side, smiling, modestly cloaked.	10
16	45	Tupita laughed.	10
16	47	"Pay me," said Tupita.	10
16	59	Tupita pushed between the men.	10
16	66	"While you remain a slave, Earth slut," she said, "I will be free! And it is you, my pretty enemy, who will have bought me my freedom! Consider it, slut! Such vengeance is sweet!" I whimpered, piteously, looking up at Tupita.	10
16	81	Tupita regarded him, angrily.	10
16	84	"What she is truly worth, or what I might think she is truly worth," said Tupita, "is of no importance.	10
16	89	Tupita, of course, like many slaves, and like myself, could not read or write.	10
16	99	Tupita took the silver tarsk from the fellow, and clutched it triumphantly, tightly, in her fist.	10
16	127	"It is mine!" said Tupita.	10
16	131	Tupita turned white.	10
16	135	Tupita thrust it back, over her shoulders, untied the strings and let it fall to the floor, behind her.	10
16	140	Tupita had excellent legs.	10
16	143	Tupita was too good a slave, and too wise a slave, to dally before a Gorean male, having received such a command.	10
16	147	"No!" cried Tupita.	10
16	151	Tupita sobbed with relief.	10
16	157	I heard Tupita, on the floor, sobbing.	10
16	163	I heard Tupita suddenly cry out and, startled, gasp, and then whimper.	10
16	165	I then saw Tupita pulled to her feet.	10
16	174	Tupita was quite beautiful.	10
16	177	"Please!" said Tupita.	10
16	181	"Please!" begged Tupita.	10
16	184	Immediately Tupita was silent.	10
16	187	Tupita put her head down, not daring to meet his eyes.	10
16	204	A similar fate, of course, might befall Tupita.	10
16	206	"Lift your head," said the leader to Tupita.	10
16	214	"Where are you going to take us, Master?" asked Tupita.	10
16	220	I watched while a gag, not unlike mine, was fastened in Tupita's mouth.	10
16	231	Tupita looked at the leader.	10
17	75	I did not know to whom Tupita was sold, but she doubtless, too, would have gone into a cheaper slavery than she had known.	10
20	333	"Apparently Tupita was stolen at the same time," he said.	10
20	335	It did not seem to me important to tell him that Tupita had been attempting to escape, using my sales price to purchase passage from Brundisium.	10
20	349	"What happened to Tupita?" he asked.	10
24	430	* * * * "Are you all right?" asked Tupita.	10
24	436	A little later Tupita had come down the slope.	10
24	618	I reached the top first and extended my hand to Tupita, who took it, and, with its help, pulled herself up, until she stood beside me.	10
24	655	"To be sure," said Tupita, "we might be thrown to the chains, from time to time, as bonuses or rewards".	10
24	660	"Nor anything further of the two slaves who were stolen?" "No," said Tupita.	10
24	672	"I do not know," said Tupita.	10
24	675	"Tonight," said Tupita, "I will be glad to be locked in, behind the bars of our pen".	10
24	678	"Tupita," I said.	10
24	806	"How piteous we are, so helpless, only slaves!" wept Tupita.	10
24	811	"It is getting dark," said Tupita, smiling through her tears.	10
24	824	"You are a very beautiful, and desirable, slave, Tuka," said Tupita.	10
24	845	"And slaves," said Tupita.	10
25	78	Among them had been the chain on which I had served with Tupita.	10
25	84	The masters had not separated out the illicit prisoners from the genuine prisoners, rearranging the chains, but, as Tupita had expected, had simply sent those links which contained any illicit prisoners from the camp.	10
25	94	Tupita, of course, had gone with the chain, south.	10
26	129	Surely Tupita, too, for example, would have fallen into the hands of this fellow, this mercenary captain, Pietro Vacchi.	10
26	225	So I might dance? So soldiers might draw lots for my use? So I might serve Pietro Vacchi? But what then? Would the man following not "bide his time" as Tupita had said? Would there not come a time, sooner or later, if he were patient, and I did not doubt but what he was patient, very patient, when h...	10
28	1	The Well "Are you all right?" asked Tupita.	10
28	2	"Tupita!" I said.	10
28	22	I kissed Tupita, gratefully, and Tela.	10
28	23	"These," said Tupita, indicating two other girls, sitting to one side, "are Mina and Cara".	10
28	29	Tupita and I, earlier, had been similarly chained.	10
28	30	"These are the girls who were first stolen?" I said to Tupita.	10
28	32	"This is Tuka," said Tupita to the two girls.	10
28	36	"Greet her," said Tupita.	10
28	47	"It was probably the beast, or beasts," said Tupita.	10
28	66	"Our food, loaves of bread, and fruit, is thrown down to us, at night," said Tupita.	10
28	76	"Binding fiber," said Tupita.	10
28	78	"It would seem so," said Tupita.	10
28	80	"It is apparently an abandoned well," said Tupita, "but it has been changed in some respects".	10
28	89	"If there is such a beast," said Mina, "what does it want of us?" "It is such a thing, doubtless," said Tupita, "which fed upon the aedile, outside Venna".	10
28	91	"Perhaps," said Tupita.	10
28	95	"But, as far as we know," said Tupita, "no one has been taken from this place to be eaten".	10
28	97	"Mina and Cara were caught days ago," said Tupita.	10
28	105	"Consider," said Tupita.	10
28	108	"That seems to me of interest," said Tupita.	10
28	111	"It is surely possible," said Tupita.	10
28	113	"Yes," said Tupita.	10
28	115	"You were," said Tupita.	10
28	118	"We are thinking," said Tupita, "if I am not mistaken, that although this thing might eat humans, and might eat us, it may not be that we have been brought here, really, for food".	10
28	120	"It may be working with men," said Tupita.	10
28	123	"No," admitted Tupita.	10
28	127	Mina and Cara had the shreds of work tunics, and Tupita, too, still had much of her tunic, it ripped only a bit, perhaps when the beast had seized her.	10
28	129	"It seems likely to me," said Tupita, "that we are being kept not for food, though such a thing, or things, might eat us, but to be turned over to our kind, to slavers".	10
28	130	"I remember now," I said, "in the darkness, before I was cuffed unconscious, it put me to my knees before it!" "Excellent!" said Tupita.	10
28	136	"You wear a collar and chains," said Tupita.	10
28	139	"You will wait," said Tupita.	10
28	146	"How is it that you are here?" asked Tupita of me.	10
28	151	"You would look very beautiful chained to a stirrup," said Tupita.	10
28	157	"Slave," said Tupita.	10
28	168	"He made me scream with pleasure," said Tupita.	10
28	191	"Perhaps the aedile came on the beast unawares," said Tupita.	10
28	209	"You know that most of the men with the chains were freed?" said Tupita.	10
28	220	Were he to come upon me here how could I escape? Perhaps he would lower the rope and bucket for the others, and not me? Perhaps he would throw great stones down upon me? Perhaps he would lower poisonous insects or snakes into the pit? Perhaps he would leave me here to starve? Tupita then began to te...	10
28	227	"Tupita," I protested.	10
28	265	I laughed, and so, too, did Tupita, but then we looked about ourselves, at the sheer walls of the shaft about us, and up at the opening, doubtless wide enough, but, from here, seemingly so small, seemingly so far above.	10
28	270	"We do not know," said Tupita.	10
28	272	"They do not let us know anything! We do not know where we are! We do not know the nature of our captors, or even their number! We do not know what they intend to do with us! They treat us like—like—" "Like slave girls?" asked Tupita.	10
28	275	"You are no longer the free woman, Lady Liera Didiramache of Lydius," said Tupita.	10
29	30	"These two," said the small fellow, indicating Tupita and myself, "served in the tent of Pietro Vacchi.	10
29	45	Tupita was to my right.	10
29	59	Lengths for Tela, Tupita and myself had already been in the pit, it apparently having figured, with a long rope, in our descent.	10
29	62	In this way, at least in the case of Tela, Tupita and myself, they recovered their fiber, which would be used, in any case, again, and, in this particular mode of transporting it, prevented us from communicating, at least by explicit utterances, our terror to the others still below.	10
29	71	Tupita had already been so secured.	10
29	98	Too, their skirts, and Tupita's, too, and the slave strips, or G-strings, of Tela and myself had been lifted up, or aside, and let fall again, perhaps to see if we were depilated, or shaved, or if such cloth might conceal some defect.	10
29	151	I heard Tupita gasp in anger, tied to my right.	10
29	159	I myself, too, however, though I was more restrained than Tupita, was not much pleased either.	10
29	217	Tupita and I, and the others, shrank back in our bonds, then, in terror, pushing back against the rail to which our necks were tied.	10
29	392	One of the leader's two men had scarcely bent to unknot the bonds on Tupita's crossed ankles when he stopped, given pause by this utterance.	10
29	397	"No!" cried Tupita, in misery.	10
29	404	"He came to seek me," said Tupita, boldly.	10
29	428	Tupita sobbed.	10
29	441	Tupita screamed in protest, but the nearest beast to the captive struck him from the side with the back of its closed paw.	10
29	444	"No, no," wept Tupita, "no, no, no!" "There may be others about," said the leader of the men.	10
29	459	"It is your fault!" cried Tupita, turning her head, in her neck ropes, toward me.	10
29	460	"Forgive me, Tupita!" I wept.	10
29	462	"Rejoice! If I could get my hands on you I would kill you myself!" "Please, Tupita!" I begged.	10
29	468	"Forgive me, Tupita," I said.	10
29	476	"Tupita!" I said.	10
29	478	"Tupita," I whispered.	10
29	480	"What?" cried Tupita.	10
29	509	"It is probably not on our scent," said Tupita.	10
29	512	"Do not move," said Tupita.	10
29	523	"Oh, Master," moaned Tupita, almost silently, "do not awaken now.	10
29	525	"It will come this way!" "It must not come this way," said Tupita.	10
29	529	Surely the animal could hear that! "We do not matter," said Tupita.	10
29	532	"Do not awaken, Master," whispered Tupita to Mirus.	10
29	540	"Lie still, Master," whispered Tupita.	10
29	558	"There is a sleen behind you!" cried Tupita.	10
29	565	"It is Borko, the sleen of Hendow!" cried Tupita.	10
29	575	He stood between the beast and Tupita.	10
29	578	Without taking his eyes off the sleen, by feel, Mirus cut the ropes that tied Tupita to the railing, and then cut free the binding fiber on her ankles, and wrists.	10
29	579	"Do not mind me," wept Tupita.	10
29	581	"I find this," he said to me, "an acceptable and suitable vengeance, superior even to the sword, or to the thousand cuts, that you, my dear Doreen, or Tuka, or whatever masters now choose to call you, you stinking, worthless, curvaceous, treacherous slave slut, should be torn to pieces by a sleen!" ...	10
29	593	"Good Borko! Good Borko!" cried Tupita.	10
29	603	"It is protecting her!" cried Tupita, delightedly.	10
29	606	"Free the other girls, Master," said Tupita.	10
29	608	"At one time you used to muchly pleasure yourself with me," said Tupita.	10
29	612	See Mina, and Cara! Both are beautiful! You can put sword claim on us all!" Mirus, in fury, lashed back with his hand, striking Tupita from him.	10
29	617	"Look!" cried Tupita, pointing across the meadow.	10
29	621	We looked where Tupita had pointed.	10
29	624	"It is Hendow!" cried Tupita.	10
29	639	"Masters, let us away!" said Tupita.	10
29	642	"Let us away, please, Masters!" said Tupita.	10
29	644	Immediately Tupita knelt, and was silent.	10
29	655	"Somewhere," said Tupita, "there is a slave wagon.	10
29	662	"There are said to be three at a slave wagon, Master," said Tupita.	10
29	687	"She was a lure girl!" cried Tupita.	10
29	697	"Strike Tupita".	10
29	698	"Tupita?" asked Mirus.	10
29	699	Tupita shrank back, small, where she was kneeling in the grass.	10
29	703	Tupita stole Doreen, duping her into leaving the house, she thinking she was still first girl, and intended to sell her, using her price to secure tarn passage from Brundisium in the guise of a free woman.	10
29	714	Thus, you see, had it not been for Tupita, for her running away, for her betrayal of a sister in bondage, for her willingness to assume the guise of a free woman, in itself a great crime, this slave would not have been in Argentum, to lure you.	10
29	715	If one is covered with guilt here, surely it is Tupita.	10
29	720	He put himself between Hendow and Tupita.	10
29	721	"Run!" he said to Tupita.	10
29	724	Tupita remained where she was.	10
29	725	"Why did you flee Hendow?" cried Mirus to Tupita.	10
29	772	"But you do not wish Tupita to die?" he asked.	10
29	776	"It is too late!" wept Tupita.	10
29	889	I felt Tupita's hands at my bonds.	10
29	901	Tupita freed my neck from the railing.	10
29	914	Tupita screamed in misery, leaving off in her labor to free me.	10
29	924	Tupita had fled from behind the railing, where she had been attempting to free me and ran to cover the body of Mirus with her own.	10
29	966	Tupita wept over Mirus, who had fallen, who was unconscious.	10
29	1012	Tupita looked up, frightened, from where she crouched over Mirus.	10
29	1018	"No!" protested Tupita.	10
29	1023	"No, please!" begged Tupita.	10
29	1050	"You untied her neck from the railing," said the bearded fellow to Tupita.	10
29	1054	"Please, no," said Tupita.	10
29	1057	"Please," wept Tupita.	10
29	1059	Tupita, weeping, came to where I was, before the railing.	10
29	1102	Tupita had stopped working at the bonds on my wrists when the newcomer had appeared.	10
29	1111	"Forgive me, Master," said Tupita, and bent again, swiftly, to her task.	10
29	1114	He thrust Tupita to the side.	10
29	1122	Tupita was back of me, and half under the rail, where she had been thrust.	10
29	1134	He had told Tupita I would not be free for long.	10
29	1149	"Do not, Tuka, I beg you!" cried Tupita.	10
29	1153	Tupita burst into tears.	10
29	1181	"Brave Tuka!" cried Tupita.	10
29	1193	"Please, no, Master!" cried Tupita.	10
29	1197	"Please, Master, do not!" cried Tupita.	10
29	1209	He went to pick up the binding fiber which had been removed from my ankles by Tupita, from my wrists, a bit before, by himself.	10
29	1237	"Oh, Tuka, Tuka!" cried Tupita, softly, in joy.	10
29	1249	"No!" cried Tupita, running to Mirus, covering his body with her own.	10
29	1261	I saw Tupita draw back from Mirus.	10
29	1340	Tupita again put her body between those of Fulvius and Mirus.	10
29	1346	It would have taken but a moment to thrust Tupita aside and kill Mirus, but I sensed that the man with the injured arm, again, had little taste for dispatching a helpless foe.	10
29	1350	"Can you walk, Master?" begged Tupita, crouching near Mirus.	10
29	1352	"Get up, Master!" begged Tupita.	10
29	1356	"Good, Master!" cried Tupita.	10
29	1358	"Hurry, Master," said Tupita.	10
29	1364	Tupita leaped to her feet and flung herself between us, shielding me with her own body.	10
29	1380	Indeed, how could I, a woman, truly, fully, love any other sort? I saw he did not want to strike Tupita.	10
29	1384	You would not listen! Masters were watching!" "What would you have had her do?" cried Tupita.	10
29	1387	"Do not kill her!" "Get out of the way," he cried, "or you will die first!" "Go, Tupita!" I wept.	10
29	1389	"No," said Tupita, firmly.	10
29	1401	"Oh, my master, I love you!" wept Tupita, rushing to him.	10
29	1412	I now realized that he had been seeking Tupita.	10
29	1417	I should have realized that Mirus was after Tupita.	10
29	1422	"Oh," cried Tupita, "I love you so! I love you so, my master!" Slave girls must address all free men as "Master".	10
29	1429	As Tupita used the expression, though, in such a spontaneous, and heartfelt way, it expressed in its way, I think, a truth of her heart, that she in her heart belonged to him, that she in her heart was his slave.	10
29	1430	"Try to stand, Master," urged Tupita.	10
29	1432	"Get up, Master," said Tupita.	10
29	1460	"No!" cried Tupita.	10
29	1463	"Get behind me," he said to Tupita.	10
29	1474	"You may not have this woman," said Mirus, indicating Tupita.	10
29	1478	"Do you gainsay me in this?" Fulvius, I suppose, if nothing else, understood that Mirus, if he survived, would be likely, sometime, to pursue them, perhaps for his honor, perhaps to recover Tupita, or me, perhaps to avenge Hendow.	10
29	1488	"No!" said Tupita.	10
29	1491	"No!" wept Tupita.	10
29	1496	"Look!" cried Tupita, pointing out, over the meadow, behind Fulvius and Sempronius.	10
29	1567	Tupita, near him, white-faced, held him, supporting him.	10
29	1593	Mirus thrust Tupita behind him, and held his sword, ready to defend himself and the slave.	10
29	1623	Mirus told Tupita it said, "Borko and Hendow.	10
29	1643	Of slaves only Tupita was permitted to feed herself.	10
29	1647	After we had been fed, and Callisthenes and Sempronius, too, had partaken of food, the stranger directed them to put us in coffle, with the exception of Tupita.	10
29	1656	Tupita followed, closely.	10
30	35	Back from it a bit, to the left, Tupita was tending Mirus.	10
30	103	I reared up a little, and saw, to my relief, that the stranger was back with Mirus and Tupita.	10
31	10	A campfire was lit and near it were Mirus, and Tupita.	10
31	19	It had been only because of the intercession of Tupita, as I recalled, that I had been spared.	10
31	21	"Yes, Master," said Tupita, happily.	10
31	25	When not in their presence, whether I called her "Tupita," or whatever her name might now be, would be up to her.	10
31	30	I think it gave both Tupita and myself much pleasure to cook for the men.	10
31	34	Happily, Tupita did most of the real cooking, while I mostly watched and fetched.	10
31	39	While Tupita and I busied ourselves in this fashion the men spoke of politics, of tharlarion, of war, and arms.	10
31	41	Tupita lifted the plate to Mirus.	10
31	44	"Excellent," said the stranger to Tupita.	10
31	45	Tupita knelt back, muchly pleased.	10
31	47	Tupita and I would wait to see if, and when, we would be fed.	10
31	48	But after the free persons had taken a few bites, eating first, thus ritualistically in the Gorean fashion expressing the difference between themselves and us, and their precedence, Mirus shoved a bit of food to one side of his plate, from which Tupita, happily, helped herself.	10
31	58	From time to time during the meal Tupita had cast a glance at me, smiling, as though she had some secret.	10
31	62	Tupita was a good cook, indeed! Then, while the men continued to talk, we attended to domestic tasks, suitable for us, consequent upon the completion of the meal.	10
31	67	We were then finished with the work and came and knelt by the fire, Tupita and I, slaves.	10
31	74	Tupita drew back a little.	10
31	78	"She is beautiful," said Mirus, regarding Tupita.	10
31	97	But he went not to me but to Tupita.	10
31	105	I suddenly feared they wanted to tie Tupita in this way so that she would be unable to interfere in whatever they planned to do to me.	10
31	112	Tupita was smiling.	10
31	115	"I am well bound, Master," said Tupita to Mirus.	10
31	129	"I can do little, Master," said Tupita.	10
31	140	"Please him," urged Tupita.	10
31	148	"Master!" protested Tupita.	10
31	152	I realized now what the plan of Tupita and the stranger must have been.	10
31	154	The specific suggestion I suppose had been Tupita's.	10
31	160	Surely his decision to spare me had not come from deeply within him, spurred by his own insight and newly found understandings, and acceptable to him, but had been the result of yielding to the unwelcome, perhaps resented intercession of Tupita.	10
31	163	The plan, then, of Tupita and the stranger had been a simple one, involving the utilization of a common biological universal, the placatory behaviors of the errant female before the dominant male.	10
31	179	This, like his features concealed in the mask, it seemed, he wished to keep secret, at least from Mirus and Tupita.	10
31	193	"Dance, dance, Tuka," urged Tupita.	10
31	220	"Look at her, Master!" cried Tupita.	10
31	225	"Forgive her, Master," begged Tupita.	10
31	230	Tupita gasped.	10
31	252	"She might have been terribly punished, even slain otherwise!" interpolated Tupita.	10
31	267	"You are not stupid, Master," said Tupita.	10
31	288	"Oh, yes, Master!" cried Tupita.	10
31	292	"Do not entirely blame yourself, Master," called Tupita.	10
31	293	"I am sure she was a very clever lure girl, a brilliantly lovely and skillful lure girl!" I did not think this contribution by Tupita was really necessary.	10
31	296	"Use her well!" cried Tupita! "Make her pay! Teach her who is master!" He then threw me to my side in the leaves, in the darkness.	10
31	301	"I am first girl, slave," called Tupita to me.	10
31	322	"Did she serve well?" called Tupita.	10
31	326	I did not doubt but what Tupita, love me though she might, would as first girl have put me well and lengthily under the whip if he had not been satisfied.	10
31	339	He followed me and began to untie Tupita.	10
31	340	"Is Tuka not beautiful?" asked Tupita.	10
32	6	I was tied much as Fulvius had tied me earlier, and as he had tied Tupita last night, wrists crossed and bound behind me, fastened closely to my crossed, bound ankles.	10
32	11	Mirus had been on the wagon box, Tupita beside him, in a tunic fashioned of one of the blankets which had been inside the wagon.	10
32	13	Tupita, her hands braceleted behind her, had knelt and kissed me.	10
32	15	"I wish you well, too, Tupita," I had said.	10
32	20	Tupita and I could not wave to one another as our restraints did not permit it, but we exchanged a common slave girls' farewell, kissing to one another, tears in our eyes.	10
32	34	Mirus and Tupita had now gone.	10
32	137	For example, he had heard me speak with Mirus and Tupita.	10
33	6	He had not given me clothing, even the belt of rolled cloth and the slave strip, which he had earlier removed, when I had been bound, after the departure of Mirus and Tupita, they with the tharlarion and wagon.	10
33	133	I had little doubt that Mirus would keep Tupita as such.	10
33	319	Approaching the fire with an armful of sticks, from the pile to one side, gathered earlier in the woods by Tupita and myself, I saw the eyes of the beast turned upon me.	10
34	63	"Mirus thought that Tupita was a thousand times more beautiful than I," I said.	10
34	356	I could make a tunic from a blanket, as Tupita did".	10
