Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
23 67 If he is highly placed in some town on the river then his utility to Voskjard and to us would be considerably diminished if it were understood such a highly placed person was secretly in league with men such as ourselves and Voskjard".

29 12 He himself had never met Ragnar Voskjard, nor had Voskjard met Policrates.
Details

30 58 "How did you know that we were not the scout ships of Ragnar Voskjard?" We had, after all, known the signs and countersigns, and, presumably, those of the holding of Policrates would not be familiar with all of the men or ships of Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
33 226 "Yet," said Callimachus, "if the Tamira were truly the scout ship of Ragnar Voskjard, and if she crossed the chain westward four days ago, and a rendezvous was made in the river, in the vicinity of the holding of Ragnar Voskjard, the times involved are not inappropriate".
Details
10
18 36 That scarcely seems what one would expect from the courier of Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
23 6 "And how is my friend, Ragnar Voskjard?" "Well," said I, "and he, of course, inquires after your health".
Details
10
23 49 "I had sent word to Ragnar Voskjard more than fifty days ago".
Details
10
23 58 "For all you know," I said to Kliomenes, "I might be Ragnar Voskjard himself".
Details
10
23 62 "At any rate it is certainly true, at least, that I am not Ragnar Voskjard".
Details
10
23 66 If so, it is scarcely in Ragnar Voskjard's interest, or in ours, or in the interest of our friend here, to be recognized as the courier of the topaz.
Details
10
23 98 "Surely, too, none who were not of the party of Ragnar Voskjard, should they come into the possession of the topaz, would dare to bring it here.
Details
10
23 155 I did not wish to kill the courier of Ragnar Voskjard".
Details
10
23 185 "Do even the slaves here know that I am the courier of Ragnar Voskjard?" I asked.
Details
10
23 201 The classical question in this respect, almost universal on Gor, is "Wine, Master?" "Do you think, truly," asked Policrates, "that the fleet of Ragnar Voskjard, fully rigged and fitted, can be here in twenty days?" "I see no difficulty in the matter," I assured him.
Details

23 247 "She fears you," said Policrates, "for she knows you are the courier of Ragnar Voskjard.

24 1 What Occurred in my Chambers, When Miss Henderson Thought me to Be the Courier of Ragnar Voskjard "Master?" she asked.
Details
10
24 177 The true courier of Ragnar Voskjard, I knew, would be expected to handle women well.
Details
10
24 195 "I acknowledge you as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard," she said.
Details
10
24 218 I am not to be permitted to see the face of the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, no more than others, even though I am only a lowly slave.
Details
10
24 226 Whereas the frightened, deferential slave had not recognized me sitting regally with Policrates and Kliomenes in the feasting hall, in the robes and mask of the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, I did not doubt but what she might quickly recognize my voice.
Details
10
24 744 I must soon leave the holding of Policrates, theoretically to journey downriver to the holding of Ragnar Voskjard, that his fleet might be soon launched, that the two fleets, in fierce force, might overwhelm the garrisons of Ar's Station, and then of Port Cos, that the river, for hundreds of pasangs...
Details
10
27 31 "You are the courier of Ragnar Voskjard," I said.
Details
10
27 86 "Your identity is known, of course, to Ragnar Voskjard," I said.
Details
10
28 92 I had been released after the testimonies afforded by Tasdron, who had made it clear to him that I, well known in Victoria, and having arrived from the east on the river, could not be the courier of Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
29 7 I wore the mask which I had worn while pretending to be the courier of Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
29 9 These had been given to me that I could convey them to Ragnar Voskjard, that he might use them in his entry into the stronghold.
Details
10
29 10 It had been my plan to gather sufficient ships, primarily from Port Cos and Ar's Station, to simulate the fleet of Ragnar Voskjard, who would be expected by Policrates.
Details
10
29 11 It would have seemed simple enough, then, to have brought enough men into the stronghold, posing as the men of Ragnar Voskjard, to take Policrates by surprise.
Details
10
29 22 "The fleet of Ragnar Voskjard," had said Callisthenes, "can never join with the fleet of Policrates.
Details
10
29 74 "You have heard my plan," I said, "that we muster ships and, under the cover of darkness, posing as the fleet of Ragnar Voskjard, enter and take the stronghold of Policrates".
Details
10
29 142 "Does this lack of opposition or interference on the part of pirates as powerful and well organized as those of Ragnar Voskjard not seem puzzling to you?" "Yes," said Callisthenes.
Details
10
29 150 "Do you truly think a chain will stop the fleet of Ragnar Voskjard?" asked Callimachus.
Details
10
29 153 It was doubtless brought as a pledge of Ragnar Voskjard to Policrates.
Details
10
29 154 It signifies, in effect, the agreement of Ragnar Voskjard to join forces with Policrates.
Details
10
29 155 I do not doubt that the fleet of Ragnar Voskjard, in a short time, will follow the topaz".
Details
10
29 157 "Voskjard may be on the move now," said Callimachus.
Details
10
29 164 "Voskjard must be met at the chain".
Details
10
29 184 "Ragnar Voskjard," I said, "would come with a fleet, not one or two ships, and forty men".
Details
10
29 222 I wore the mask I had worn when I had pretended to be the courier of Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
29 224 "I am the courier of Ragnar Voskjard!" I called.
Details
10
29 227 "The fleet of Ragnar Voskjard is not due for ten days," called the man.
Details
10
29 229 "It is only two days behind us!" "The Voskjard is eager," called the man.
Details
10
29 236 "Now," asked Callimachus, "when they are waiting for Ragnar Voskjard?" "He is not due, in their opinion, for ten days," I said.
Details
10
30 90 "Was it you, Jason, he of Victoria," inquired Policrates, "whom we previously entertained in our holding as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard?" "Of course," I said, angrily.
Details
10
30 102 "Did your informant not make it clear to you that I it was who brought you the topaz?" "The topaz," said Policrates, "was delivered to us by the courier of Ragnar Voskjard".
Details
10
30 108 "I trust that you have not slain him," said Policrates, "for doubtless Ragnar Voskjard would not be pleased to hear that".
Details
10
30 111 "You intercepted the courier, somehow, on his way back to Ragnar Voskjard," said Policrates.
Details
10
30 113 "No," I said, "it was you yourself who gave to me the signs and countersigns, when I posed as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard".
Details
10
30 140 "Do you still insist that it was you who entered my holding, posing as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard?" inquired Policrates.
Details
10
30 149 "Nonetheless," I said, "it was I who entered this holding and deceived you, in the guise of the courier of Ragnar Voskjard".
Details
10
30 161 "I crossed swords with the courier of Ragnar Voskjard in the great hall," said Kliomenes.
Details
10
30 166 "We have information," said Policrates, "that it was the true courier of Ragnar Voskjard who came to the holding, independently of the evidence that it was he who gave us the topaz, which stone presumably could have been only in the possession of the true courier".
Details
10
30 170 Whoever had betrayed us must be, or be in contact with, the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, he who had tried to obtain the topaz from me on the wharves of Victoria.
Details
10
30 174 Doubtless he did not wish to be bound to the shearing blade of one of Ragnar Voskjard's galleys.
Details
10
30 181 "Do you still maintain the pretense of having posed as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard?" inquired Policrates.
Details
10
30 230 "This fellow claims to have impersonated the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, and to have deceived us all," said Policrates to the girl.
Details
10
30 233 "You were given to the courier of Ragnar Voskjard for the night, were you not?" asked Policrates.
Details
10
30 265 I gritted my teeth, but how could I resist them? "Describe to me, if you were truly one who posed as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, the nature and furnishings of the chambers in which he reposed the night in which we guested him within the holding," said Policrates.
Details
10
30 271 Let them, at least for the time, believe that they had received it from the true courier of Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
30 292 I had learned on Gor, in the secrecy of a chamber in the holding of Policrates, when posing as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, that she was a true slave.
Details
10
30 303 "And let us hope, for his sake, that the courier of Ragnar Voskjard is not harmed".
Details
10
30 365 "To me," said Bikkie, "you seemed a true slave girl, fully, only when you had emerged from the chambers of the courier of Ragnar Voskjard".
Details
10
31 123 Doubtless this was to discourage the formation of an alliance among the eastern towns, and to prevent ships being sent to stop or delay Ragnar Voskjard at the chain west of Port Cos.
Details
10
32 79 The other was the galley Tamira, captained by Reginald, he who is in the fee of Ragnar Voskjard".
Details
10
32 85 "The scout ship of Ragnar Voskjard," said he.
Details
10
32 87 I myself, in my unsuccessful ruse, betrayed, presumably by the Earth-girl slave, Peggy, had posed as a commander of scout ships, supposedly sent ahead by the fleet of Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
32 88 Now, it seemed, so soon, the actual ship, or ships, though it now seemed there was only one, had appeared, conducted its business, and was now returning westward on the river, presumably to rendezvous with the Voskjard.
Details
10
32 92 On the other hand, it seemed puzzling to me how the Voskjard's scout ship could have appeared in these waters if the chain had not been cut.
Details
10
32 111 "Once joined with the Voskjard," said Kliomenes, "we can fetch it forth from the towns, as it pleases us".
Details
10
32 135 "He maintains," said the pirate who had conducted me to the room, he normally in charge of the crews of the windlass, "that he deceived both you and Policrates, and us all, by posing as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard".
Details
10
32 152 "The courier, or he who posed as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, though not my equal, was not unskilled with the sword," said Kliomenes.
Details
10
32 154 "Do not slay him, Kliomenes," said one of the men near the curule chair, "for he might be of use in bargaining for the freedom of the true courier of Ragnar Voskjard, who must have been captured by our enemies in Victoria".
Details
10
32 161 "Thus," said he, "if you are truly he who posed as the courier of the Voskjard, you, too, must be not unskilled with the sword".
Details
10
33 19 "If the Voskjard attempts to cross the chain in force," said Callimachus, "we will not be able to stop him".
Details
10
33 54 Doubtless she revealed our plans to the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, or to a pirate in Tasdron's tavern, perhaps while moaning with pleasure in his arms, perhaps hoping to win her freedom by her treachery".
Details
10
33 83 "It is a scout ship of Ragnar Voskjard," I said.
Details
10
33 97 "Perhaps the Voskjard fears the chain," said Callimachus.
Details
10
33 116 Yet we would miss him in the fray, should the Voskjard's fleet dare to approach the chain more directly.
Details
10
33 125 "Perhaps the Voskjard does fear the chain," I said.
Details
10
33 141 "Do you think the Voskjard will come?" I asked.
Details
10
33 163 "It is conjectured," said Callimachus, "that the Voskjard is stronger than Policrates.
Details
10
33 184 "And it is estimated that the Voskjard's fleet numbers some fifty ships?" "Yes," said Callimachus.
Details
10
33 191 "And the fleet of the Voskjard can, at will, attack at any given point".
Details
10
33 204 "It is then, you feel," I said, apprehensively, "in effect some thirty ships, those of Port Cos, against the fleet of the Voskjard?" "Substantially so," agreed Callimachus.
Details
10
33 238 "It is the fleet of Ragnar Voskjard," he said.

1 1 Ships of the Voskjard Most Gorean ships have a concave bow, which descends gracefully into the water.
Details
10
1 59 The Voskjard had not been able to break the chain.
Details
10
1 179 "Do you think the Voskjard will now withdraw?" I asked.
Details
10
1 184 "When do you think the Voskjard will try again?" I asked.
Details
10
2 50 "We have now, I suspect," said he, "taught the men of Ragnar Voskjard some respect for honest men".
Details
10
2 178 "Then the Voskjard will not know that the chain is weak at that point," said a man.
Details
10
2 184 "The Voskjard has been delayed," said one of the men.
Details
10
2 187 "In a free battle, on the river, we will stand little chance against the swift ships of the Voskjard".
Details
10
2 191 "If the Voskjard should join with Policrates," said another man, "and the forces of Port Cos and Ar's Station are divided, no town on the river will be safe".
Details
10
2 203 "Do you think that the urts of the Voskjard will discontinue their nibblings at the chain because we choose to rest?" asked a man.
Details
10
2 211 "Perhaps the Voskjard has given up," said a man.
Details
10
2 220 "Would you surrender the river to men such as Policrates and Ragnar Voskjard?" I asked.
Details
10
3 44 "The first of the Voskjard's ships has crossed the chain!" cried another.
Details
10
3 52 The galleys of the Voskjard, like most Gorean ships, were double ruddered.
Details
10
3 68 It was only these, we feared, who might be able to match the forces of the Voskjard in even combat.
Details
10
3 69 The ships of Ar's Station could bring numbers to bear in our favor, but we did not regard them, ship for ship, as the match of either a galley of the Voskjard or of Port Cos.
Details
10
3 163 "Ships of the Voskjard," I said.
Details
10
3 165 "Apparently the Voskjard has more than fifty ships," I said.
Details
10
4 22 The Voskjard, as we had learned, had lost four.
Details
10
4 24 From my position at the starboard rail, near the bow, below the stem castle, I could not well see the arrangement of the Voskjard's formation.
Details
10
4 25 "There are other ships of the Voskjard west of the chain," said a man, glumly.
Details
10
4 29 The chain could now be cut with impunity, behind the shield of the Voskjard's northern fleet, that now some half pasang off our bows.
Details
10
4 32 Acting on the information supplied by Callisthenes we had conjectured that the Voskjard commanded in the neighborhood of fifty ships.
Details
10
4 87 The Voskjard had been held at the chain in the south.
Details
10
4 123 "Is that a well-known ship of the Voskjard," I asked.
Details
10
4 137 "The wedge of the Voskjard approaches!" called an officer on our stem castle.
Details
10
4 145 "The Voskjard is committed to the wedge!" I said to the man next to me.
Details
10
4 149 "No! Look! It is the flank of the Voskjard which is now unguarded!" The Tais and her swift, lean sisters, emerging unexpectedly, circling, from behind our lines, stern quarters low in the water, rams half lifted from the water, wet and glistening in the sun, at full stroke, oars beating, drums pound...
Details
10
4 164 The Voskjard's fleet was in confusion.
Details
10
4 169 How could Ar, I asked myself, compete with such men and ships upon the mighty Vosk? Laughable were the miserable, squat ships of Ar's Station when compared with the sleek carnivores of Port Cos or, indeed, those of Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
4 178 To be sure, amidst the wreckage and crowding, and even grinding against the chain, the fleet of the Voskjard had managed to come about.
Details
10
4 181 The rams of the Voskjard's fleet swung toward the Tais and her sisters.
Details
10
4 186 "The fleet of the Voskjard has been marshaled," said a man next to me.
Details
10
4 193 "The Voskjard has exposed his flank to us!" The Tina and her line moved forward.
Details
10
4 198 We, the line of our ships, had caught the fleet of the Voskjard in its right flank, as it had turned to confront and punish the Tais and her sisters of Port Cos.
Details
10
4 199 This audacious act on our part had taken the fleet of the Voskjard by surprise.
Details
10
4 213 He would not risk open battle, not even on even terms, with ships such as those of the Voskjard.
Details
10
4 216 "The Voskjard will be angry," said another.
Details
10
4 223 I thought it not improbable that the Voskjard had lost in the neighborhood of thirty ships.
Details
10
4 226 I could not but think, bitterly, that if the Voskjard, truly, had had only some fifty ships, as we had gathered from the intelligences supplied to us by Callisthenes, we, if supplemented by the twenty ships of Callisthenes, yet to appear, would now have outnumbered him.
Details
10
4 257 I noted the approach of the Voskjard's fleet, the ships moving in pairs, with more than a hundred yards between the pairs.
Details
10
5 69 "They are men of the Voskjard," said another.
Details
10
5 86 "She flies the pennons of the Voskjard," said another.
Details
10
5 89 "She is captained by Reginald, in the fee of Ragnar Voskjard," I cried.
Details
10
5 90 "She is the scout ship of Ragnar Voskjard".
Details
10
5 92 "She came to clear the way for the passage of the Voskjard east," I said.
Details
10
5 93 "But," I said, anxiously, "was the rendezvous with the Voskjard's fleet at his holding or was it in the river?" "What difference does it make?" asked a man.
Details
10
5 101 "It suggests to me that the rendezvous was, indeed, made in the river, and not at the Voskjard's holding".
Details
10
5 109 Fifty yards astern we saw the jury-rigged ram of the Sita, a converted merchantman of Jort's Ferry, take a ship of the Voskjard in the stern.
Details
10
5 113 The Sita herself, extricating herself from her victim, sluggish, half-listing, underoared, was stove in on the port and starboard sides by ramships of the Voskjard.
Details
10
5 120 A ramship of the Voskjard, her ram missing our port bow by inches slid rapidly past.
Details
10
5 128 "It is a ship of the Voskjard!" cried a man.
Details
10
5 138 It is a ship of the Voskjard! It has been taken as a prize!" "How could that be?" asked a man.
Details
10
5 144 Did Ar's Station truly think to match such swollen, ponderous freighters against the swift, sleek menace of the Voskjard's warships? And to aggravate the situation the ships of Ar's Station seemed undermanned.
Details
10
5 146 How attractive, how inviting, they must appear to the predators of the Voskjard! A mighty rock, then, suddenly, not more than ten feet from my bench, plummeted through our deck, splintering the wood upward, exploding it upward, in a shower of sharpened fragments.
Details
10
5 165 In the delay a ship of the Voskjard had interposed herself between us and the Portia.
Details
10
5 173 The ship of the Voskjard lay to.
Details
10
5 181 "If we did so," said another man, glumly, pointing to the rocking galley of the Voskjard off our bow, "she would take us in the hull like a speared tarsk".
Details
10
5 184 Grimly we watched the efficient approach of the Voskjard's ships, one to the port of the Portia, the other to her starboard.
Details
10
5 218 The ship of the Voskjard which had been lying to, preventing us from joining the fray, now backed away from us.
Details
10
5 242 She had been the lead ship of the Voskjard's first wedge attack.
Details
10
5 244 It was said that she was a well-known ship of the Voskjard.
Details
10
6 1 We Await Support from Callisthenes; It does not Come; The Third Fleet of the Voskjard; Again We Sound Our Battle Horns We saw the Leda of Port Cos taken full in the hull.
Details
10
6 4 A medium-class galley of the Voskjard slipped past our bow, the tooth of her ram failing to feed, the water from her cleft passage, swelling away from her, forcing us to port.
Details
10
6 12 There was a grinding astern and a dozen men from one of the Voskjard's pressing ships, close in the crowded waters, leapt aboard.
Details
10
6 26 The ram of a Voskjard ship smote the jutting bow of the Leda.
Details
10
6 27 Men leaped from it into the water, mixing in the water with the striking oars of the Voskjard's ship.
Details
10
6 28 Archers on the Voskjard's ship, leaning over her gunnels, fired down on the struggling swimmers.
Details
10
6 32 Our ram, now, threatened the Voskjard's ship.
Details
10
6 41 Off the starboard bow lay a galley of the Voskjard, rocking on the water, seemingly somnolent, but we knew, in an instant, if we exposed our flank to her, she would come alive, springing to the attack.
Details
10
6 53 We listened to the signal horns from the Voskjard's fleet.
Details
10
6 64 These five ships, this small, uneasy, slender line, were all we had to oppose the might of the Voskjard, surely still some twenty-eight or twenty-nine ships, now being marshaled off our bows.
Details
10
6 95 "Stroke!" And the five ships of our small line sallied forth to meet the stately advance of the Voskjard's fleet.
Details
10
6 123 "The fleet of the Voskjard approaches!" "Callisthenes!" we cried, joyfully.
Details
10
6 134 "It can only be ships of the Voskjard," I said.
Details
10
6 138 We could hear battle horns, now, from not only the forces of the Voskjard moving towards us, off our bows, but we could hear, too, the notes of battle horns drifting across the water towards us from astern.
Details
10
6 144 These ships, advancing from the south, were clearly ships of the Voskjard.
Details
10
6 150 That the new ships of the Voskjard were bearing down now upon us, and in such force, suggested that they had not been opposed, that either they had been permitted to cut the chain and advance unmolested, or, more likely, perhaps, that they had been permitted to circumvent the chain by the use of the...
Details
10
6 153 Too, his information on the power of the Voskjard had proved haplessly inadequate.
Details
10
6 158 Now, it seemed, they had failed, too, even to prevent the third fleet of the Voskjard from making an unimpeded entry into the waters east of the chain, from which position, of course, they could take the defensive fleet in the rear.
Details
10
7 1 I Again See the Tamira; I Go for a Swim "There is the Tamira," said a man, pointing to starboard, at one Voskjard ship among others.
Details
10
7 8 Voskjard ships crowded about the Olivia, the Tais and Tina.
Details
10
7 16 The ships of the Voskjard so pressed about our three ships that they could not use their rams or shearing blades.
Details
10
7 17 More than one Voskjard ship had been set afire by flaming pitch cast from another.
Details
10
7 22 "For the Voskjard!" hissed the man.
Details
10
7 39 Already the men of the Voskjard were killing survivors.
Details
10
7 42 "For the Voskjard!" he said.
Details
10
7 49 "For the Voskjard!" I grinned, brandishing the knife.
Details
10
7 54 One of the Voskjard's ships, in the press of battle, had struck her fellow.
Details
10
7 66 A ship of the Voskjard, a hundred yards away, back from the immediate press of battle, was aflame.
Details
10
8 10 This guise, doubtless, still served her well in her work for the Voskjard.
Details
10
8 101 "This is the scout ship of Ragnar Voskjard," I said.
Details
10
8 140 More importantly, I gathered from her response what I had been truly after, that the Tamira had made her rendezvous with the Voskjard's fleet in the western Vosk, and not at his holding.
Details
10
8 142 "The captain of the Tamira," I said, "is an important man, and much trusted by Ragnar Voskjard".
Details
10
8 144 "The rendezvous of the Tamira with the fleet of the Voskjard," I said, "took place then not at his holding, but in the river".
Details
10
8 148 "Has Reginald boarded the flagship of Ragnar Voskjard since the return from the holding of Policrates?" I asked.

9 116 Using this as a diversion the Tina and the Tais, with Aemilianus, and the crew and men of the Olivia, with captured pennons from prize ships taken earlier from the Voskjard, had permitted other ships, like sharks, to pass them, following the light of the Olivia, taking that light for the locale of b...

10
10 21 I was certain that he had been the true courier of Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
10 24 I did not know if the courier would be expected to travel with the fleet of the Voskjard or not.
Details
10
10 52 We had then lain to, in the movement of ships, pennons of the Voskjard on our lines, should we fall within the light of passing lanterns.
Details
10
10 58 Following the Tuka and the Tais, by prearranged plan, we in the Tina had then rowed southward along the chain until we came to the point where the northward-moving portion of the Voskjard's fleet, that which we had once mistaken for the support vessels of Callisthenes, had cut the chain.
Details
10
10 72 By the time such a force might be raised in the river towns, of course, the fleet of the Voskjard would have reached the holding of Policrates, reinforced it, and participated in the development of new security arrangements.
Details
10
10 79 By dusk we had come to the northern break in the chain, that produced by the second portion of the Voskjard's fleet.

10 114 Miles of Vonda had represented us, of course, as being the advance ships of the Voskjard's fleet.

11 227 "When do you think the fleet of Ragnar Voskjard will arrive at the holding," he asked.
Details
10
12 51 It was he who was the true courier of Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
12 53 Neither, however, seemed to me to possess the suggestion of power, or the presence, that I would have expected of Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
12 54 The Voskjard, I suspected, was not with the fleet.
Details
10
12 55 I had, indeed, earlier speculated from pirate strategies that the fleet had been under the command not of the Voskjard, but of a lesser man.
Details
10
12 56 The Voskjard, I suspected, during the battle, would have contented himself with reigning in his holding.
Details
10
12 65 "The courier of Ragnar Voskjard," said Kliomenes, "he in the mask".
Details
10
12 68 "Is it Ragnar Voskjard?" I asked.
Details
10
12 100 He who had been the courier of Ragnar Voskjard looked about himself, suspiciously, and then, with the others, entered the holding.
Details
10
12 114 Suddenly, reeling, his sword bloody, I saw he who had been the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, his clothing torn, emerge wildly from the interior of the holding.
Details
10
12 129 The courier of Ragnar Voskjard would not escape.
Details
10
12 147 The courier of Ragnar Voskjard, then, bedraggled, his weapon gone, still masked, knelt before me.
Details
10
12 153 "So you are the courier of Ragnar Voskjard," he said, grimly.
Details
10
12 174 "He," I said, drawing the mask from the head of the courier of Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
12 183 In spite of this, and his resemblance to the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, I dismissed the possibility of his guilt.
Details
10
12 186 Then, again, when we were betrayed, because of the small number of individuals who knew of our plans, and his resemblance to the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, and the injury, it seemed it must be he.

12 202 On the ruse of undertaking a mission of reconnaissance I then joined the fleet of the Voskjard".

10
12 203 "Where is the Voskjard?" asked Callimachus.
Details
10
12 236 He had returned for his rendezvous with the Voskjard.
Details
10
14 5 Spined Tharlarion, I knew, was the personal ship of Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
14 17 Only recently, I gathered, surely only within a few Ahn, had the Voskjard become apprised of the fate of so many of his ships.
Details
10
14 18 The wings of the Voskjard had been cruelly clipped.
Details
10
14 56 "I am Ragnar Voskjard!" called the voice to my left.
Details
10
14 58 "I am first!" said Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
14 61 "There is our agreement!" cried Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
14 63 "By what right?" asked Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
14 65 "I shall withdraw to my holding," said Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
14 67 "I did not come east upon the river to return with empty coffers," said Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
14 69 "I shall join you," said Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
14 72 "I do not care to contest it," said Ragnar Voskjard, bitterly.
Details
10
14 74 "Yes," said Ragnar Voskjard, bitterly, "you are first upon the river".
Details
10
16 46 "Back to the ships!" "Back to the ships!" called Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
16 199 A ship to my left, Spined Tharlarion, the flagship of Ragnar Voskjard, was aflame.

16 243 Policrates and the Voskjard are finished!" "Get me a sword!" said Callimachus.
Details
10
16 270 "Fetch Ragnar Voskjard," he said.
Details
10
16 274 Some forty yards away, across the water, some hundred yards or so out in the river, off the wharves, half afire, I saw the ship of Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
16 286 Scarcely had I ascended the heavy planking than, approaching rapidly, bearing down on me, I saw a medium galley, thrusting itself between the flagship of Policrates and Spined Tharlarion, the flagship of Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
16 329 "Greetings, Ragnar Voskjard," I said to him, "I have come to fetch you".
Details
10
16 351 "It is amusing, is it not," I asked, "that the great Ragnar Voskjard is now naught but the prisoner of an ex-fighting-slave?" "Free me," he begged.
Details
10
16 354 "What pay could compare with the pleasure of taking the Voskjard prisoner?" I asked.
Details
10
16 362 "We have been rammed!" cried the Voskjard.
Details
10
16 365 "We shall sink!" cried the Voskjard.
Details
10
16 367 I stood up, the bound Voskjard between my feet.
Details
10
16 390 I then, feet first, leaped downward into the water, landing near the floundering Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
16 393 The Voskjard grunted, and half choked, as I hauled him, partly by the neck leash, partly by his arm, over the rail of the flagship of Policrates.
Details
10
16 404 Ragnar Voskjard tried to rise, but my foot, thrust between his shoulder blades, pressed him rudely back to the deck.
Details
10
16 424 Free me!" cried Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
16 507 "We are sinking!" cried Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
16 511 "We are sinking!" said the Voskjard.
Details
10
16 513 "And we are helpless!" cried the Voskjard.
Details
10
16 516 "Mercy, mercy!" cried the Voskjard.
Details
10
16 520 "Yes, my captor!" cried Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
16 524 It had not been visible, of course, to either Ragnar Voskjard or Kliomenes.
Details
10
16 542 I did not envy Policrates or Callisthenes, nor Kliomenes, nor Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
17 141 And it had surely been made manifest to me incontrovertibly in the holding of Policrates, when she had thought me to be the courier of Ragnar Voskjard.
Details
10
17 820 "I was once given for the night in the holding of Policrates to he whom we, at that time, thought to be the courier of Ragnar Voskjard," she whispered.
Details
10
18 149 I wore a mask identical to that which I had worn when I had first gained admittance to the holding of Policrates, when I had, long ago, pretended to be an agent of Ragnar Voskjard, he who was the bearer of the topaz.
Details
10
20 339 "The citadels of Policrates and Ragnar Voskjard have been burned, I heard," I said.
Details
10
20 341 The citadel of Ragnar Voskjard had been fled by its defenders, after the news of the battle at Victoria reached them, they knowing themselves too few to defend it against a concerted siege.
Details

20 1461 "After being used by the courier of Ragnar Voskjard," she smiled, "in the holding of Policrates".
