42183 | Had it feared to come within reach of fangs that might turn and rend it? |

42209 | ''What do you mean?'' |
42209 | ''What is it?'' |
42209 | ''Where is_ he_?'' |
42209 | ''Who are you?'' |
42209 | ''Why did n''t you climb the stair and make your escape in my boat?'' |
42209 | ''You said they climbed the walls last night? |
42209 | ''You would force me to play the trollop with this barbarian?'' |
42209 | But why should he select such a place for his slumbers? |
42209 | Do n''t you realize he is out of range? |
42209 | Do you dream that I would have shamed myself before an ale- guzzling, meat- gorging barbarian unless I had to? |
42209 | Had he been followed through the tunnel? |
42209 | Have you cut the heads off many Yuetshi?'' |
42209 | He told me-- he said-- am I mad? |
42209 | Is this a dream?'' |
42209 | Suppose the_ hetman_ had left his warriors near by, and that they should grow suspicious and come to investigate his long absence? |
42209 | The Hyrkanians would enslave me again, and the pirates would--''''What of the_ kozaks_?'' |
42209 | The conclusion was obvious; the man who made that track was carrying a burden, and what should it be but the girl the_ kozak_ was seeking? |
42209 | Then he laughed down into the clear eyes, and said:''Why should not a chief of the Free People be preferable to a city- bred dog of Turan?'' |
42209 | What human hands could rear such a mammoth pile as now met his eyes, in the few weeks which had elapsed? |

42209 | Will you betray us? |

42188 | ''And it was he that threw the stone?'' |
42188 | ''And what now?'' |
42188 | ''And what of me, sir?'' |
42188 | ''But if these shapes were men, blasted into iron images by some god or devil, how can they come to life?'' |
42188 | ''But what are your plans?'' |
42188 | ''But what is it, then? |
42188 | ''Did you not see them?--The statues, moving, lifting their hands, their eyes glaring in the shadows?'' |
42188 | ''Did you think I had forgot? |
42188 | ''Do you suppose there are others?'' |
42188 | ''Have I not suffered enough? |
42188 | ''Hyrkanians?'' |
42188 | ''It was not-- not_ they_ that destroyed our boat?'' |

42188 | ''Quarter?'' |
42188 | ''Shah Amurath called you a_ kozak_; were you of that band?'' |
42188 | ''Suppose we meet pirates, or a storm?'' |
42188 | ''The youth they tortured was like the tall man who came?'' |
42188 | ''Then we must spend the night here?'' |
42188 | ''To sail a road of blood and slaughter?'' |
42188 | ''What are we to do, Conan?'' |
42188 | ''What are you talking about?'' |
42188 | ''What did it say?'' |
42188 | ''What gods?'' |
42188 | ''What in Crom''s name, girl? |
42188 | ''What is it? |
42188 | ''What is it?'' |
42188 | ''What manner of men were these copied from?'' |
42188 | ''What would you?'' |
42188 | ''What, Aratus, would you break the law of the Brotherhood, you dog?'' |
42188 | ''What-- what is it?'' |
42188 | ''Where are they? |
42188 | ''Where is that dog Aratus?'' |
42188 | ''Where shall we find that?'' |
42188 | ''Who are you?'' |
42188 | ''Who are you?'' |
42188 | ''Who are you?'' |
42188 | ''Who can tell, at this distance?'' |
42188 | ''Why should we not take up our journey again?'' |
42188 | ''Would you be better off with me?'' |
42188 | At last a Shemite spoke up above the clamor:''Why do you argue over a dead man?'' |
42188 | But who? |
42188 | Did they follow us?'' |
42188 | Did you have a nightmare?'' |
42188 | How long must my torment last?'' |
42188 | In what molds were they cast?'' |
42188 | Is there any humiliation, pain or degradation you have not heaped on me? |
42188 | Madman or savage, what could he do, naked, against the mailed chief of Akif? |
42188 | Must I aid my enemies? |
42188 | See how the twigs are broken? |
42188 | Shall I let you come aboard and cut out my heart?'' |
42188 | This, then, was the end of the trail-- for what human being could withstand the fury of that hairy mountain of thews and ferocity? |
42188 | To me?'' |
42188 | Was it some trick of the moonlight that touched the eyes of the black figures with fire, so that they glimmered redly in the shadows? |
42188 | What do you see?'' |
42188 | What lurks in this thicket?'' |
42188 | What might be lurking amid those nameless woodlands? |
42188 | What mysteries do you guard, Wise Devil?'' |
42188 | What says the law of the Red Brotherhood?'' |
42188 | What was that? |
42188 | What would you have, dogs?'' |
42188 | What? |
42188 | Who knows? |
42188 | Who''s your chief?'' |
42188 | Will you uphold my claims again?'' |
42254 | ''A Pict?'' |
42254 | ''After all,''said Valannus, as if speaking his thoughts aloud,''what do we know-- what does anyone know-- of the things that jungle may hide? |
42254 | ''Are you surprised?'' |
42254 | ''But what thing is it that can cry like a woman and laugh like a devil, and shines like witch- fire as it glides through the trees?'' |
42254 | ''But what was that-- that thing you killed in the altar- hut?'' |
42254 | ''But,''Balthus persisted,''if he can order the beasts to do his bidding, why does n''t he rouse them all and have them after us? |
42254 | ''Did a man make that?'' |
42254 | ''Did you ever hear of a Pictish wizard called Zogar Sag?'' |
42254 | ''Do the soldiers know of this?'' |
42254 | ''Do you think I''m afraid of a damned Pictish swamp devil? |
42254 | ''Have you got a horse?'' |
42254 | ''How did you get away?'' |
42254 | ''How do you know they were n''t killed by the Picts?'' |
42254 | ''Jhebbal Sag?'' |
42254 | ''Shall we take to the woods?'' |
42254 | ''Shall we try to break through?'' |
42254 | ''Sheep?'' |
42254 | ''Stay here alone with this corpse and a devil hiding in the woods?'' |
42254 | ''Then others will be on our trail?'' |
42254 | ''There was no fighting?'' |
42254 | ''There''s nothing we can do but save our own hides, then?'' |
42254 | ''They''ll not rebuild the fort?'' |
42254 | ''Warn Valannus?'' |
42254 | ''What are we stopping for?'' |
42254 | ''What are we to do, then?'' |
42254 | ''What did you say to the Pict?'' |
42254 | ''What do you mean?'' |
42254 | ''What is it?'' |
42254 | ''What is it?'' |
42254 | ''What shall we do?'' |
42254 | ''Who knows what gods are worshipped under the shadows of that heathen forest, or what devils crawl out of the black ooze of the swamps? |
42254 | ''Who the devil is your brother?'' |
42254 | ''Who''s there?'' |
42254 | ''Why did n''t you kill me then, if you could?'' |
42254 | ''Why do n''t we keep to the canoe and make the trip by water?'' |
42254 | ''Why do you stand like a sheep waiting for the butcher, Conan?'' |
42254 | ''Why have the gods of darkness doomed me to death?'' |
42254 | ''Would they come this far south if they lost the trail?'' |
42254 | ''You are one of the fort''s garrison?'' |
42254 | ''You see it''s I, do n''t you?'' |
42254 | ''You think that was done with a knife or a sword? |
42254 | ''You went with the soldiers to the ruins of the fort?'' |
42254 | ''You''re not a Gunderman?'' |
42254 | ''Zogar Sag''s dead?'' |
42254 | 5 The Children of Jhebbal Sag''Which way is the river?'' |
42254 | Balthus mulled over this delicate ethical question for a moment, then shrugged his shoulder and asked:''How far are we from the fort?'' |
42254 | But how do you know it was not a Pict with some kind of a hook that rips instead of slicing? |
42254 | Did you see it?'' |
42254 | Do you know why the Picts are not trying to burn the fort with fire- arrows? |
42254 | If we can not hold the fort, how can they hold the town? |
42254 | Mitra, how can anything move so silently?'' |
42254 | Perhaps you were there?'' |
42254 | The forest is full of leopards; why send only one after us?'' |
42254 | There are no ostriches in this forest, are there?'' |
42254 | They had covered more than a mile when Balthus said:''Does Zogar Sag catch leopard- cubs and train them for bloodhounds?'' |
42254 | What do you make of that?'' |
42254 | What new horror would come through that gate to make carrion- meat of his body? |
42254 | Which is worse-- to betray a Pict who''d enjoy skinning us both alive, or betray the men across the river whose lives depend on our getting over?'' |
42254 | Who can be sure that all the inhabitants of that black country are natural? |
42254 | Who knows what shapes earthly and unearthly may lurk beyond the dim circle of light our knowledge has cast? |
42254 | Will you take a band of men tonight and endeavour to kill or capture him? |
42254 | You''ve traveled widely?'' |
42196 | ''And put my neck into a Turanian noose?'' |
42196 | ''And they found a cellar full of corpses?'' |
42196 | ''And what of his magic?'' |
42196 | ''And why did_ you_ want it?'' |
42196 | ''Drink?'' |
42196 | ''How could I, with only a handful of silver to begin with? |
42196 | ''If_ we_ find him?'' |
42196 | ''Well, curse your brown hide, Baal- pteor, where''s the wench you jerked through the wall?'' |
42196 | ''What do you mean by peril?'' |
42196 | ''What is it?'' |
42196 | ''What makes you think I want to spend the night scouring the streets for a lunatic?'' |
42196 | ''What the devil are you looking for?'' |
42196 | ''What were you doing out on the streets this time of night?'' |
42196 | ''Where are you going?'' |
42196 | ''Where do you want to go?'' |
42196 | ''Which proves what?'' |
42196 | ''Who can say? |
42196 | ''Who the devil are you?'' |
42196 | ''Why bother to lie?'' |
42196 | ''Why did you wish your lover to sleep?'' |
42196 | ''Why do n''t the blacks seek their prey here?'' |
42196 | ''Why do n''t the citizens clean out these black dogs?'' |
42196 | ''Why does he always carry off strangers?'' |
42196 | ''Why not enter, barbarian?'' |
42196 | ''You did not win at the gaming- tables?'' |
42196 | ''You will not fail me?'' |
42196 | ''You wish food?'' |
42196 | ''_ I_ have the Star of Khorala? |
42196 | And did I not send what you asked for, out of the love I bear you?'' |
42196 | And how could a human being possess a head like that outlined against the stars? |
42196 | Can you?'' |
42196 | Did you deem yourself strong, because you were able to twist the heads off civilized folk, poor weaklings with muscles like rotten string? |
42196 | Do n''t you see I''m white, and alone? |
42196 | Do you see that door?'' |
42196 | Hours? |
42196 | How could it be opening now, save by supernatural agency? |
42196 | How could they recognize Aram Baksh in this half- naked, bloodstained figure, with the grotesquely shorn beard and unintelligible babblings? |
42196 | How did they catch you?'' |
42196 | How long can you avoid the fangs of the Poison People? |
42196 | If Aram did not sell them, after doing away with their owners, how came they here?'' |
42196 | Minutes? |
42196 | Now where do you want me to take him?'' |
42196 | The negroes seized me and brought me to this--_what was that?_''Conan had already moved. |
42196 | Well, did you not ask for it? |
42196 | What became of them? |
42196 | What''s the young reprobate''s name?'' |
42196 | Why did the beggars shun them? |
42196 | Why do you not restore his mind to him? |
42196 | Why should you seek my life?'' |
42236 | ''But Zargheba?'' |
42236 | ''Do you not fear the gods? |
42236 | ''How can a dead woman come to life after all these centuries?'' |
42236 | ''How many men with him?'' |
42236 | ''I''ll carve his liver yet-- Gorulga is a party to this swindle, of course?'' |
42236 | ''Is she alive, after all?'' |
42236 | ''Well, what then?'' |
42236 | ''What do you think the priests will do to you if they find out you''re an impostor?'' |
42236 | ''What else do you suppose I''d do with you?'' |
42236 | ''What game are you playing? |
42236 | ''What in thunder are you doing?'' |
42236 | ''What were you to say as the oracle?'' |
42236 | ''Where is Zargheba?'' |
42236 | ''Why have you followed us? |
42236 | ''Will you quit that blubbering and answer me? |
42236 | ''You mean you''re going to keep me? |
42236 | ''You-- are-- are you Yelaya?'' |
42236 | And stop crying, will you? |
42236 | Are you betraying your master, or is he betraying his friends through you? |
42236 | Could he have known about that rotten flagging? |
42236 | Could it be someone on the same mission as himself? |
42236 | Did he know I was here? |
42236 | Did not Zargheba tell you what to say? |
42236 | Did you climb the cliffs?'' |
42236 | Did you think you could fool me, you little idiot? |
42236 | Had Zargheba seen him? |
42236 | Had the priests of Keshia arrived? |
42236 | Had those rotten flags simply chanced to give way beneath his weight, or was there a more sinister explanation? |
42236 | How did you get into the valley?'' |
42236 | If so, where were they? |
42236 | Oh, Conan, what are they?'' |
42236 | Oh, what shall I do? |
42236 | Take me with you?'' |
42236 | Tell us, oh mouthpiece of the gods: what is their will concerning Thutmekri the Stygian?'' |
42236 | Then why had the door been shut above him? |
42236 | Was it Zargheba, after all, who had struck the gong? |
42236 | Was that indeed Yelaya, as the cold sweat on the backs of his hands told him, or was it that little hussy Muriela, turned traitress after all? |
42236 | Was the man standing on something? |
42236 | Was this the work of the priests of Keshan? |
42236 | What are you crying about now?'' |
42236 | What cryptic secret was locked in that marvelously molded form? |
42236 | What happened to you, anyway?'' |
42236 | What human could guess the motives or thoughts of these monstrosities? |
42236 | What is your pleasure?'' |
42236 | Where is he now, girl?'' |
42236 | Where should he search first, in the limited time at his disposal? |
42236 | Where the devil are you?'' |
42236 | Where''s the gem you wore in your hair?'' |
42236 | Why had the man dwelt in this desolate spot, and to what unknown destination had his servants departed after disposing of their master''s corpse? |
42236 | is there no honesty anywhere?'' |
42227 | ''All this without my knowledge?'' |
42227 | ''And what did you tell these outcasts to gain their allegiance?'' |
42227 | ''And what do they in Khauran?'' |
42227 | ''And what then?'' |
42227 | ''And what will they say when you ask them to fight for Khauran?'' |
42227 | ''And where would you secure three thousand Hyborians?'' |
42227 | ''Are you fit to live, Olgerd?'' |
42227 | ''Bewitched? |
42227 | ''By Crom, what is this? |
42227 | ''Can you ask? |
42227 | ''Did he not ask your hand today?'' |
42227 | ''Did you see it, Ivga?'' |
42227 | ''Do I dream? |
42227 | ''Do you deem yourself chief already?'' |
42227 | ''Do you imagine that by drugging a few of my maids and tricking a few of my guardsmen you have established a claim to the throne of Khauran? |
42227 | ''Do you, an Askhaurian princess yourself, suppose that the Queen of Khauran could treat such a proposal with anything but disdain? |
42227 | ''For recognizing my usefulness?'' |
42227 | ''Have you discovered that you still have unshed tears? |
42227 | ''He is confined in the south tower?'' |
42227 | ''How did you know that?'' |
42227 | ''How, knave, do you know me?'' |
42227 | ''I?'' |
42227 | ''Is all clear?'' |
42227 | ''Listen,''said Olgerd,''even if I were willing to throw away men on such a hare- brained attempt-- what could you expect? |
42227 | ''Never a twin sister whose flesh was as soft as yours to caress or hurt?'' |
42227 | ''She wept?'' |
42227 | ''Sister?'' |
42227 | ''Still thinking of that cross, eh? |
42227 | ''Very good; but you would not deny me a little-- ah-- amusement first?'' |
42227 | ''Well, what next?'' |
42227 | ''What do you mean,_ you_ think not? |
42227 | ''What do you mean?'' |
42227 | ''What have you done?'' |
42227 | ''What have you done?'' |
42227 | ''What madness is this? |
42227 | ''What-- what have you done to him?'' |
42227 | ''Who am I?'' |
42227 | ''Who are you?'' |
42227 | ''Who are you?'' |
42227 | ''Who dared give my guardsmen such a command?'' |
42227 | ''Who''d have ever thought it of Queen Taramis? |
42227 | ''Why do you keep up this farce?'' |
42227 | ''Will you conjure them out of the air?'' |
42227 | ''You do not love my caresses, sweet sister?'' |
42227 | ''You know how to reach the dungeons from the palace, Constantius?'' |
42227 | ''You never had a sister?'' |
42227 | ''You refused, dear sister?'' |
42227 | ''You scum of the western hills,''he muttered,''have you dared seek to undermine my power?'' |
42227 | ''_ What?_''Olgerd glared like a startled wolf. |
42227 | And do you know why they bore me forth to die?'' |
42227 | But before you begin putting me in my place-- perhaps you will tell me whose soldiers camp in the plain outside the city walls?'' |
42227 | But what of it? |
42227 | But who is that yonder?'' |
42227 | Can you wonder? |
42227 | Did you know that Krallides, your faithful councillor, had come skulking back from Turan and been captured?'' |
42227 | Do you not remember me, Valerius? |
42227 | Do you think these wolves could besiege and take a city like Khauran?'' |
42227 | Does it not grow weary of soft, city- bred flesh? |
42227 | How goes the battle?'' |
42227 | How would the people rise against the Falcon''s Shemites? |
42227 | Oh, Ishtar, why was I not slain? |
42227 | Oh, Taramis, how could you betray the people who worshipped you?'' |
42227 | We d a bloody- handed adventurer, a man exiled from his own kingdom because of his crimes, and the leader of organized plunderers and hired murderers? |
42227 | What if Khaurani fools learn the truth? |
42227 | Why do you ask?'' |
42227 | Why do you come here?'' |
42227 | With sticks and pebbles? |
42227 | Would you like to live?'' |
42259 | ''Agreed; what about your men?'' |
42259 | ''And what do you fools mean to do?'' |
42259 | ''And what now?'' |
42259 | ''And why do they fall back so stubbornly? |
42259 | ''Are we to fight his battles for him?'' |
42259 | ''Are we to squat on our haunches until they smoke us out? |
42259 | ''Are we to take all the risks while he reaps the rewards?'' |
42259 | ''Are you a magician, that you have conquered the Black Seers of Yimsha, Conan of Ghor?'' |
42259 | ''Are you chief of Khurum? |
42259 | ''Are you still dizzy from your flight on the horse- of- air, that you doubt my wisdom?'' |
42259 | ''But if the girdle aided you in conquering the Master,''she argued,''why did it not aid Khemsa?'' |
42259 | ''But what good does it do us?'' |
42259 | ''But what of me?'' |
42259 | ''Conan? |
42259 | ''Did you hear that crash when you struck? |
42259 | ''Do you fear them?'' |
42259 | ''Do you mean that lock of Bhunda Chand''s hair?'' |
42259 | ''Do you think I ca n''t handle my own people? |
42259 | ''Do you think I''d trust you, you Hyrkanian dog?'' |
42259 | ''Do you want to go there? |
42259 | ''Does the chief, Conan, fear them?'' |
42259 | ''Gold? |
42259 | ''How can an ordinary human understand the motives of a Seer?'' |
42259 | ''How long would it take to reach Yimsha from this point?'' |
42259 | ''I?'' |
42259 | ''Is Yezdigerd your vassal?'' |
42259 | ''Is the dog that licks up the offal in the temple yard the vassal of the god?'' |
42259 | ''Is there any who questions my authority?'' |
42259 | ''Point of contact?'' |
42259 | ''Terms?'' |
42259 | ''The king dares not trample a worm in the road? |
42259 | ''Then what of me? |
42259 | ''To Afghulistan?'' |
42259 | ''To chafe your rump on gold thrones, and listen to the plaudits of smirking, velvet- skirted fools? |
42259 | ''Well?'' |
42259 | ''Were you not seeking me?'' |
42259 | ''What are you going to do?'' |
42259 | ''What are you hunting in the Zhaibar by night, Yar Afzal?'' |
42259 | ''What are you obliged to do?'' |
42259 | ''What could that have been?'' |
42259 | ''What do you mean,_ he_?'' |
42259 | ''What do you mean? |
42259 | ''What is that to you, dead man? |
42259 | ''What now, Conan?'' |
42259 | ''What will she do?'' |
42259 | ''What''s it to you, you Hyrkanian spy?'' |
42259 | ''What?'' |
42259 | ''Where am I?'' |
42259 | ''Where are the seven chiefs held captive in Peshkhauri?'' |
42259 | ''Where are the seven chiefs?'' |
42259 | ''Where are they? |
42259 | ''Where are they?'' |
42259 | ''Where is Kerim Shah?'' |
42259 | ''Where is Yasmina?'' |
42259 | ''Where is the Devi?'' |
42259 | ''Where went he?'' |
42259 | ''Who are the men they pursue?'' |
42259 | ''Who are you?'' |
42259 | ''Who are you?'' |
42259 | ''Who comes?'' |
42259 | ''Who does not, Your Majesty?'' |
42259 | ''Who else? |
42259 | ''Who knows what might come up the Pass after dark? |
42259 | ''Who knows? |
42259 | ''Who the devil are you?'' |
42259 | ''Who the devil are you?'' |
42259 | ''Who was that man you rode down?'' |
42259 | ''Why are you trembling?'' |
42259 | ''Why did you bring me here?'' |
42259 | ''Why did you do that?'' |
42259 | ''Why did you do that?'' |
42259 | ''Why did you not give them to the girl?'' |
42259 | ''Why did you persecute him? |
42259 | ''Why do they not gather and destroy the devils that inhabit it?'' |
42259 | ''Why should you care if I live or die?'' |
42259 | ''Why the devil did they get themselves trapped?'' |
42259 | ''Why?'' |
42259 | ''Wipe out wizards with swords? |
42259 | ''Would you be afraid to attack them?'' |
42259 | ''Would you make me your king?'' |
42259 | ''You are Conan?'' |
42259 | ''You carried me away forcibly from_ my_ people; now will you leave me to die in the hills alone while you go down and sacrifice yourself uselessly?'' |
42259 | ''You have received no word from the chief of the barbarians?'' |
42259 | ''You mean-- disobey my masters?'' |
42259 | ''You must not hold me--''''If the idea''s so repulsive,''he demanded,''why did you yield your lips to me so willingly?'' |
42259 | ''You will not-- not kill her?'' |
42259 | 6 The Mountain of the Black Seers''Where now?'' |
42259 | As he hacked and smote like a man possessed, Conan had time for some chilling doubts-- would Yasmina keep her word? |
42259 | But what of you, Conan?'' |
42259 | Do the Wazulis take orders from Yar Afzal, or from a low- bred cur?'' |
42259 | Do you flinch? |
42259 | Do you suppose she was coming to aid me? |
42259 | Have n''t I offered you gold?'' |
42259 | Have you so quickly forgotten my strength, once lent to you, that you come armed against me, you poor fool? |
42259 | He beat down the din with a bull- like roar, and bellowed:''What devil''s play is this? |
42259 | How can I explain my mystic reasons to your puny intellect? |
42259 | How can you preserve your own life, much less mine?'' |
42259 | How is that?'' |
42259 | If they have slain the king now, why could they not have slain him months ago?'' |
42259 | In the meanwhile our way lies forward, does it not?'' |
42259 | Is it you, Conan?'' |
42259 | Is it you?'' |
42259 | Little fool, do you not realize that your royal pride is no more than a straw blown on the wind? |
42259 | My sister, where are you? |
42259 | That the man was a friend? |
42259 | The Turanians fought their way through the Himelians once, but how many returned to Khurusun? |
42259 | They are close behind you, you say?'' |
42259 | They say why should the Afghuli dogs profit by her, when it is the people who take the risk of guarding her?'' |
42259 | What do you think, Devi-- will they pay seven lives for a Kshatriya princess?'' |
42259 | What king has roamed the countries, fought the battles, loved the women, and won the plunder that I have? |
42259 | What the devil are they doing here?'' |
42259 | What the devil do you want?'' |
42259 | Where are you taking me?'' |
42259 | Where is the gain? |
42259 | Why did you destroy the king of Vendhya?'' |
42259 | Why fear the Black Seers? |
42259 | Why should we desire gold? |
42259 | Why will you be a slave, using your powers only to elevate others? |
42259 | Will you go with us, or stay here to be flayed by the Afghulis who are following this man?'' |
42259 | Will you sacrifice your men to your own desire?'' |
42259 | Will you slay me, to avenge them?'' |
42259 | You came with a large attendance?'' |
42259 | You have news?'' |
32759 | After we have slain them all? 32759 And now what do you intend doing?" |
32759 | And now you think you''ll drag me back to Zarallo''s camp? |
32759 | And will you help us destroy the dragons? |
32759 | Any word you want to send to your people? |
32759 | Are the doors locked? |
32759 | Are you mad, too? |
32759 | Are you telling us we''re prisoners? |
32759 | But afterward? |
32759 | But what do you intend doing? |
32759 | But what else could I do? 32759 But who built it? |
32759 | Ca n''t we get into the trees and get away, traveling like apes through the branches? |
32759 | Can we open the gate? 32759 Could n''t you have done it just as well in the throne room?" |
32759 | Did Tascela send you? |
32759 | Did you hear a lion roar? 32759 Did you think I would not guard against your possible return? |
32759 | Do n''t you know? |
32759 | Do you believe in ghosts? |
32759 | Do you fear someone will hear you? 32759 Do you think I care what happens to you? |
32759 | Do you think I''ve followed you this far, to turn around and ride off empty- handed? 32759 Down there?" |
32759 | God? 32759 Have n''t I made my admiration for you plain ever since I first saw you?" |
32759 | How could you hope to see all that, at this distance? |
32759 | How do these people live? |
32759 | How do we know these are all of them? 32759 How long do you suppose he''ll crouch there?" |
32759 | How long have you dwelt here? |
32759 | Is he running away? |
32759 | Is there anything you have n''t been? |
32759 | Olmec''s wife? |
32759 | Stick your ugly head up here again, you long- necked brute-- or do you want me to come down there and kick you loose from your illegitimate spine? |
32759 | Suppose a dragon comes out of the woods? |
32759 | Tascela? |
32759 | Then you agree? |
32759 | Then your ancestors did n''t build Xuchotl? |
32759 | They? |
32759 | Was that where you were going, when you tried to send me off alone to the coast? |
32759 | Well what? |
32759 | Well, are we going to sit here on our rumps until we starve, like that? |
32759 | Well, are you going to talk? |
32759 | Well? |
32759 | Were you a king in Kosala? |
32759 | What about those fellows who were following us? 32759 What about yourself?" |
32759 | What are you talking about? |
32759 | What are you talking about? |
32759 | What are you waiting down there for, you misbegotten offspring of questionable parents? |
32759 | What are_ you_ doing on my trail? |
32759 | What do you call yourself? 32759 What do you mean?" |
32759 | What do you say? |
32759 | What for? |
32759 | What good will that do? |
32759 | What is all this? |
32759 | What matter? |
32759 | What of the Stygian? |
32759 | What sort of a place can this be? |
32759 | What the devil are_ you_ doing on that thing? |
32759 | What the devil has that got to do with those sticks? |
32759 | What the devil is it? |
32759 | What the devil were you doing bending over me? 32759 What the devil''s going on here?" |
32759 | What the devil? |
32759 | What then, Xatmec? |
32759 | What''s that? |
32759 | What''s the matter? 32759 Where are the fine ships and the bold lads you commanded, now?" |
32759 | Where do I sleep? |
32759 | Where is that? |
32759 | Who are these people? |
32759 | Who are you? 32759 Who can say? |
32759 | Who is Tascela? |
32759 | Who spoke of fear? |
32759 | Who will go with Conan to Xotalanc? |
32759 | Who''d have thought to find a city here? 32759 Whom do you mean by''they''?" |
32759 | Why did you try to drug me? |
32759 | Why do n''t the Xotalancas come over the roofs and shatter those skylights? |
32759 | Why do n''t they open the door? |
32759 | Why do n''t we come to a street? |
32759 | Why do n''t we get out of this infernal palace, and take to the streets? |
32759 | Why do n''t you scream? |
32759 | Why wo n''t men let me live a man''s life? |
32759 | Why, what do you suppose? |
32759 | You mean to say this city is inhabited? |
32759 | You think some of your enemies may be ahead of us, lying in ambush? |
32759 | You-- you slew the dragon- god? |
32759 | Your people came from Lake Zuad? |
32759 | _ What''s that?_It was Valeria who exclaimed, but they both started violently, and Conan wheeled like a cat, his great sword flashing into his hand. |
32759 | And have you found it at last?" |
32759 | Are you trying to tell me that she was a wife fifty years ago?" |
32759 | As for being penniless-- what rover is n''t, most of the time? |
32759 | But Conan renewed his terror by asking:"What was that thing that I fought on the stair?" |
32759 | But how came they in Tecuhltli?" |
32759 | But what peril could have befallen her? |
32759 | But why have you waited so long to strike? |
32759 | But why should Kosalans be building a city this far to west?" |
32759 | Conan?" |
32759 | Could black people build a city like that? |
32759 | Did you really follow me from Zarallo''s camp, or were you whipped forth for a rogue?" |
32759 | He halted, reluctantly, and demanded:"Do you want me to take that toy away from you and spank you with it?" |
32759 | His recent allies eyed him in amazement, and Conan asked, in the Aquilonian tongue:"Who is this madman?" |
32759 | How could the Xotalancas control such a brute?" |
32759 | If the people ran away, why should it have been bolted on the inside?" |
32759 | If you had n''t accidentally touched my face with the petals, you''d have-- why did you do it? |
32759 | Life? |
32759 | Olmec? |
32759 | Rising languidly from her seat she swept the ranks of her subjects with a searching glance, and asked:"Where are Xamec, Zlanath and Tachic?" |
32759 | Some secret weapon you knew was hidden there? |
32759 | Tascela? |
32759 | The Eyes of Tascela_"Why did you bring me into this chamber to bandage my legs?" |
32759 | Was Olmec mad, too? |
32759 | Was a Xotalanca lurking down there? |
32759 | Were all the Tecuhltli madder than he had realized? |
32759 | Were you seeking something, in the pits? |
32759 | What are you gaping about?" |
32759 | What did I tell you?" |
32759 | What do you in Xuchotl?" |
32759 | What grisly food did you find? |
32759 | What had happened to Yasala down there in the thick blackness? |
32759 | What mad travesty of life did you live, in the stark blackness of that eternal night? |
32759 | What race do they belong to?" |
32759 | What''s all this about? |
32759 | What''s that in your hand?" |
32759 | What''s your game?" |
32759 | Whence come you? |
32759 | Where did these people keep their food? |
32759 | Where did they go? |
32759 | Where would you take me?" |
32759 | Where''s Valeria?" |
32759 | Who are you? |
32759 | Who dwelt here? |
32759 | Whom do you fear? |
32759 | Why did they abandon it?" |
32759 | Why did you join Zarallo? |
32759 | Why do you ask?" |
32759 | Why not? |
32759 | Why should n''t I?" |
32759 | Will it not seem strange, to have no foes to fight? |
32759 | With the feud ended, what is left?" |
32759 | Wo n''t they try to storm that door?" |
32759 | You are professional fighters-- why not fight for us? |
42243 | ''A traitor, eh?'' |
42243 | ''Ah, gods, what is this? |
42243 | ''Amalric crowned Valerius?'' |
42243 | ''And Xaltotun draws his power from this symbol?'' |
42243 | ''And do the people thrive under his benevolent rule?'' |
42243 | ''And what is this damnable source?'' |
42243 | ''And what of Zorathus?'' |
42243 | ''And what of the people of Acheron?'' |
42243 | ''And where''s Tarascus?'' |
42243 | ''And you will go to Tarantia?'' |
42243 | ''Are the guards out?'' |
42243 | ''Are you a follower of Asura?'' |
42243 | ''Are you a magician, too?'' |
42243 | ''Are you leading me into a trap?'' |
42243 | ''Are you lost, dog?'' |
42243 | ''Are you mad, that you seek your doom? |
42243 | ''Are you mad, to invade the holy shrine of Set?'' |
42243 | ''Are you sure he still sleeps?'' |
42243 | ''Are you sure?'' |
42243 | ''Bring that thing_ back_?'' |
42243 | ''But what does this portend?'' |
42243 | ''But wo n''t they skin you alive for stealing these keys?'' |
42243 | ''Ca n''t you at least offer me a beaker of wine? |
42243 | ''Can any man see what I have seen and remain wholly sane? |
42243 | ''Conan?'' |
42243 | ''Did he cross before the flood?'' |
42243 | ''Did you hear it? |
42243 | ''Did you read naught from the sands?'' |
42243 | ''Do Nemedian jackals set themselves up as executioners and hang my subjects at will? |
42243 | ''Do you know me, dogs?'' |
42243 | ''Do you know me?'' |
42243 | ''Do you mean the city of Tarantia?'' |
42243 | ''Do you think to escape me? |
42243 | ''Do you yield?'' |
42243 | ''For how long a voyage?'' |
42243 | ''From what hell have you crawled, you nighted dog?'' |
42243 | ''Have all the gates been closed?'' |
42243 | ''Have you forgotten Valkia? |
42243 | ''Have you found the man who attacked me?'' |
42243 | ''Have you wondered why the Shirki did not come down in flood and trap Conan on the other bank? |
42243 | ''He is dead?'' |
42243 | ''How can we thwart him?'' |
42243 | ''How did I come aboard here?'' |
42243 | ''How did you know that?'' |
42243 | ''How man?'' |
42243 | ''How went the battle, my fair lord?'' |
42243 | ''How, Arideus?'' |
42243 | ''How, Beloso,''quoth Valbroso;''has he spoken?'' |
42243 | ''How,"came"?'' |
42243 | ''I wonder if that could have been Tarascus who fumbled at my cell door awhile ago?'' |
42243 | ''If Xaltotun has been dead three thousand years, how can this man be he? |
42243 | ''If they are black magicians,''he had said,''how will they suffer you to harry them? |
42243 | ''If we are close enough to hear the drum,''said Valerius,''why do we not hear the shouts and the clang of arms? |
42243 | ''Is Poitain in revolt then,''asked Conan, watching the other closely,''that a man in Aquilonian harness is halted and questioned like a foreigner?'' |
42243 | ''Is all well with the king?'' |
42243 | ''Is aught amiss?'' |
42243 | ''Is he in this temple?'' |
42243 | ''Is he mad? |
42243 | ''Is there no wizard in the world who could make magic to fight Xaltotun''s magic?'' |
42243 | ''Is there peace, then, between Stygia and Argos?'' |
42243 | ''Is this death, then? |
42243 | ''King Tarascus has returned--''''What? |
42243 | ''Mad?'' |
42243 | ''Man, are you mad?'' |
42243 | ''No flood?'' |
42243 | ''None has entered or left the pavilion this night?'' |
42243 | ''Of whom did this man speak?'' |
42243 | ''Oh, my lord, are you there?'' |
42243 | ''Oh, what has happened?'' |
42243 | ''So it is more than the whim of a brainless beast?'' |
42243 | ''So long? |
42243 | ''Suppose there were torrential rains far to the north, at the head of the Shirki? |
42243 | ''The corsair?'' |
42243 | ''The merchant Publio dwells here?'' |
42243 | ''Then how was he ever overthrown?'' |
42243 | ''Then if this was all planned,''Conan grunted skeptically,''all a plot to trap my host, why did not the"child of darkness"kill me in my tent?'' |
42243 | ''Then why trouble to bring me back to life?'' |
42243 | ''Then you do not know that Xaltotun brought the king of Aquilonia a captive to this palace?'' |
42243 | ''Was it a mortal''s sword that felled you in your tent before the fight? |
42243 | ''Was it chance that led the man who wore your harness to lead his knights into the defile?--chance that brought the cliffs crashing down upon them?'' |
42243 | ''Well, lead me out of this accursed temple, will you?'' |
42243 | ''Well,''exclaimed Conan impatiently,''why do you sit with your head bent, staring at the hearth? |
42243 | ''Well,''growled Conan,''if you mean to murder me, why do n''t you do it and get it over with?'' |
42243 | ''Well,''said Conan harshly,''is it not better to die honorably than to live in infamy? |
42243 | ''Well,''said Conan,''have you no word of greeting, Publio?'' |
42243 | ''Well?'' |
42243 | ''What are these but words? |
42243 | ''What are you doing? |
42243 | ''What are you saying? |
42243 | ''What are you saying?'' |
42243 | ''What devil''s trick is this?'' |
42243 | ''What did he bring from Messantia?'' |
42243 | ''What did you find there?'' |
42243 | ''What do you here?'' |
42243 | ''What do you mean, your Majesty?'' |
42243 | ''What do you mean?'' |
42243 | ''What do you mean?'' |
42243 | ''What do you mean?'' |
42243 | ''What do you mean?'' |
42243 | ''What do you mean?'' |
42243 | ''What do you require of me?'' |
42243 | ''What do you wish here?'' |
42243 | ''What do you wish of me?'' |
42243 | ''What does it matter? |
42243 | ''What does the dog say?'' |
42243 | ''What else?'' |
42243 | ''What enigma?'' |
42243 | ''What game is this?'' |
42243 | ''What grudge had those Nemedian dogs against you?'' |
42243 | ''What is an hour-- or a day, or a year, or a century, for that matter? |
42243 | ''What is that about your waist?'' |
42243 | ''What is your command, sire?'' |
42243 | ''What is your present intention?'' |
42243 | ''What is your wish, your Majesty?'' |
42243 | ''What lousy tub is this?'' |
42243 | ''What matter names?'' |
42243 | ''What matter?'' |
42243 | ''What matters it?'' |
42243 | ''What means this unseemly mirth, dog?'' |
42243 | ''What mortal can fight against sorcery? |
42243 | ''What now? |
42243 | ''What of Xaltotun?'' |
42243 | ''What of the camp?'' |
42243 | ''What place is this?'' |
42243 | ''What purgatory can be worse than life itself? |
42243 | ''What ship is this?'' |
42243 | ''What the devil did you do to me?'' |
42243 | ''What then?'' |
42243 | ''What then?'' |
42243 | ''What word, Publio?'' |
42243 | ''What''s your price?'' |
42243 | ''What, then?'' |
42243 | ''What? |
42243 | ''What?'' |
42243 | ''Where are the officials of my court?'' |
42243 | ''Where are we?'' |
42243 | ''Where are you, curse you? |
42243 | ''Where else?'' |
42243 | ''Where is Conan, he who was king of Aquilonia?'' |
42243 | ''Where is he now?'' |
42243 | ''Where is the headsman?'' |
42243 | ''Which way did he go?'' |
42243 | ''Who am I, even I, Thutothmes, to know what powers lurk and dream in those crimson deeps? |
42243 | ''Who am I?'' |
42243 | ''Who are you, girl?'' |
42243 | ''Who are you, knave?'' |
42243 | ''Who are you, you filthy dog?'' |
42243 | ''Who are you?'' |
42243 | ''Who are you?'' |
42243 | ''Who are you?'' |
42243 | ''Who are you?'' |
42243 | ''Who are you?'' |
42243 | ''Who are you?'' |
42243 | ''Who are you?'' |
42243 | ''Who can look upon it without desire?'' |
42243 | ''Who could doubt your loyalty? |
42243 | ''Who do you think you are?'' |
42243 | ''Who goes there?'' |
42243 | ''Who has n''t?'' |
42243 | ''Who is this madman?'' |
42243 | ''Why are you in conclave?'' |
42243 | ''Why did he go to Messantia?'' |
42243 | ''Why did you not employ the Heart to further your own power?'' |
42243 | ''Why do you delay, headsman?'' |
42243 | ''Why do you do this?'' |
42243 | ''Why do you harry me with your squawking? |
42243 | ''Why do you not put a spell on his army to slay them all?'' |
42243 | ''Why do you seek him?'' |
42243 | ''Why do you tarry, dog?'' |
42243 | ''Why have you allowed so many of your allies to fall pierced by arrows and spitted on spears?'' |
42243 | ''Why have you come back from the gray lands of death to terrify me? |
42243 | ''Why have you delayed?'' |
42243 | ''Why have you given me life?'' |
42243 | ''Why have you hounded me?'' |
42243 | ''Why not to me, or to Tarascus?'' |
42243 | ''Why should Conan cross the river?'' |
42243 | ''Why should he spare the Cimmerian?'' |
42243 | ''Why should you risk your lives for me?'' |
42243 | ''Why to you?'' |
42243 | ''Why? |
42243 | ''Why?'' |
42243 | ''Will he tell us how to open the box?'' |
42243 | ''Will you give me quarter?'' |
42243 | ''Would you know of what goes on in Aquilonia?'' |
42243 | ''Xaltotun of Acheron-- man, are you mad? |
42243 | ''You are aware of that, are you not?'' |
42243 | ''You did not recognize him?'' |
42243 | ''You did not see him, my lord?'' |
42243 | ''You do not fear to sit in the hut of a witch?'' |
42243 | ''You have heard of Princess Akivasha?'' |
42243 | ''You have seen Xaltotun unveiled? |
42243 | ''You know nothing of what has passed in the palace tonight?'' |
42243 | ''Your master is within?'' |
42243 | ''Your servant?'' |
42243 | ''_ What?_''Tarascus started upright, and blood gushed from his opened wound. |
42243 | 4''From What Hell Have You Crawled?'' |
42243 | Am I such a fool that I''m not aware that this fine mansion was built on my sweat and blood? |
42243 | And suppose the Gundermen come up while the hosts are locked in battle? |
42243 | And where did you get them so cheaply, while other merchants were paying their weight in silver to the Stygians for them? |
42243 | And where would a priest of Set carry it but to Stygia? |
42243 | Are Amalric, Tarascus and Valerius all but puppets dancing on your string? |
42243 | Are there any further orders?'' |
42243 | Are you Xaltotun?'' |
42243 | Are you only a craftily trained feathered creature, or some devil in the form of a bird? |
42243 | Because some obscure elemental principle prevented the flood do you deem me helpless? |
42243 | Besides, who would not sell his miserable soul for a throne?'' |
42243 | But are you mad to come, a stranger and a foreigner, to the forbidden temple of Set?'' |
42243 | But do you realize the futility of sacrificing your subjects in a vain attempt to regain your crown?'' |
42243 | But his eyes flamed with exultant savagery and he panted:''Why do you stand afar off, dog of Belverus? |
42243 | But how shall we steal it? |
42243 | But what are you doing here? |
42243 | But what could we do? |
42243 | But what is this? |
42243 | But what means this glimpse of Zamorian thieves sneaking through a subterranean temple of Set, in Stygia? |
42243 | But what now?'' |
42243 | But what of the riddle you would read me this morn?'' |
42243 | But what of you? |
42243 | But what, in Crom''s name, is this notable Heart?'' |
42243 | But who am I to say? |
42243 | Can it be that the power to conquer Xaltotun lurks in that crimson bauble?'' |
42243 | Can you do nothing but wag your idiotic heads when I speak of ousting these dogs?'' |
42243 | Can you rely upon them for the winning back of your kingdom?'' |
42243 | Could he not, indeed, carve out another kingdom for himself? |
42243 | Crom''s devils, do n''t you see we''ve drifted inshore during the fight? |
42243 | Did Xaltotun set you on my trail? |
42243 | Did any of you recognize the man?'' |
42243 | Do you doubt what I have said?'' |
42243 | Do you see? |
42243 | Do you see? |
42243 | Do you think we can sail into the harbor and take the city by storm? |
42243 | Do you think-- are you sure-- do you believe such rains will fall?'' |
42243 | Do you want to run aground and be retaken by the Argosseans? |
42243 | Has he sent you here to mock me?'' |
42243 | How could he know that this terrible figure out of the past was leading him to freedom? |
42243 | How could the priests of Set know that the Heart had come southward? |
42243 | How far is Conan from Tanasul?'' |
42243 | How is it that a priest of Mitra knows of the Heart of Ahriman, and the incantations of Skelos?'' |
42243 | How many cargoes from my galleys passed through your shop?'' |
42243 | How many men can you spare me?'' |
42243 | How, boy, do they flee?'' |
42243 | If you can show me that much, these shreds of vision which mean nothing, disjointed, why can you not show me all that is to occur?'' |
42243 | Is death worse than oppression, slavery and ultimate destruction?'' |
42243 | Is the long agony ended? |
42243 | Living? |
42243 | Suppose the river came down in such flood as to render the crossing at Tanasul impassable? |
42243 | Tarascus?'' |
42243 | Tell me but this: has a galley, a black racing- galley returning from Argos, put into Khemi within the last few days?'' |
42243 | The Heart of Ahriman-- I dreamed I had found it again-- where is it?'' |
42243 | The Heart stolen from Xaltotun?'' |
42243 | There was no one to lead us----''''Was there not Count Trocero of Poitain?'' |
42243 | Was that child of the night guiding armed men on your trail?'' |
42243 | Was this in truth that blood- thirsty ogre of the southern seas who had so mysteriously vanished years ago, but who still lived in gory legends? |
42243 | Were the gods smiting blindly, like swordsmen in a fog? |
42243 | What ails the men of Aquilonia? |
42243 | What are fifty thousand Nemedians? |
42243 | What are your demands?'' |
42243 | What devil''s work is this?'' |
42243 | What deviltry is your master up to now? |
42243 | What hand could grip so hard as to leave its print on that thick wrist? |
42243 | What has he to do with this?'' |
42243 | What if I told you I might set you back on the throne of Aquilonia?'' |
42243 | What if the Nemedians have taken Tarantia? |
42243 | What if the governor should learn of our past connections with him?'' |
42243 | What is that?'' |
42243 | What is the year?'' |
42243 | What of the wizard?'' |
42243 | What of this stranger who men say gives counsel to Tarascus?'' |
42243 | What ransom for my body?'' |
42243 | What''s the shortest way out of this?'' |
42243 | Where is Conan?'' |
42243 | Where''s Lord Valbroso?'' |
42243 | Where''s Thutothmes?'' |
42243 | Who am I to know the minds of the priests of Set? |
42243 | Who are you?'' |
42243 | Who are you?'' |
42243 | Who is this veiled man who communes at midnight with Valerius and his allies, as men say, who appears and disappears so mysteriously? |
42243 | Who shall stand before us? |
42243 | Whom shall I announce?'' |
42243 | Why are you so urgent upon that point? |
42243 | Why could they not trust Prospero? |
42243 | Why did it cease when he died?'' |
42243 | Why did you grow wealthy so much quicker than your competitors? |
42243 | Why not? |
42243 | Why should I bring you up out of the pits to betray you now?'' |
42243 | Why should he not seek forgetfulness, lose himself in the red tides of war and rapine that had engulfed him so often before? |
42243 | Why should he put us on our guard with his boasting? |
42243 | Why should it not be himself? |
42243 | Would a dog like him sacrifice himself? |
42243 | Would you look into the past for a clue of the present?'' |
42243 | Yet what creature but man breaks bones for their marrow? |
42243 | You do not know me, do you, what of this scar your hangman burned upon me? |
42243 | You know where it is?'' |
42243 | You rowed in chains for the Argossean dogs: will you row as free men for Amra?'' |
42243 | You said I would not sacrifice myself to trap you? |
42243 | You saw the ruins of Emilius Scavonus''plantation?'' |
42243 | You understand me?'' |
42243 | _ Amra!_''''Who else?'' |
42243 | _ Mitra, what is this?_''He staggered as the walls of the tent swayed drunkenly. |
42243 | _ Who am I?_''And from the waist rose a shout that swelled to a mighty roar:''Amra! |
42243 | shrilled a woman, pointing eastward, and another bawled:''Who is this rogue?'' |
