“Well, this is awkward,” said Donna, breaking three ehn of silence, as she faced both Simon and myself. We were seated side by side, evidently not looking at one another. “More Bazi tea?”
“Yes, please,” said Simon, as Donna lifted the delicate ceramic tea pot.
“No,” I said.
“I can see you’re not happy, Cassandra, with me inviting your companion here.”
“You were always very observant, Donna,” I said, bitterly.
Neither of us spoke for a time as Raisa gracefully rose from her knees, bowed demurely, and then exited the room, closing the door behind her.
The air felt tense, as if an argument was about to begin.
“Donna, I wanted to see you, but I was afraid of the conversation we would have – the conversation we are having now. I don’t know how to speak the things that…”
Donna interrupted with a motion of her right hand. “I want you to know I have spoken with both the Lady Sansapina, and Mikos. They have given me their own accounts of what occurred.”
I swallowed hard. I didn’t want to do this. I simply nodded.
I felt nervous. Donna could always tell if I was being evasive. I tried again.
“Mikos? A horrible man. Horrible. Ugly, too. Not gentle and kind like Simon. I never want to see him again.”
Better. But was it good enough?
“Slave heat? Only slaves feel that. Of course not.” Soft laugh, as if the suggestion was faintly amusing. “Did you really think? Oh, Donna…”
I maintained eye contact with myself in the mirror.
“I think I’m actually very frigid, Donna. I really am.”
Several weeks had passed since my shameful adventures with Mikos of Vonda, and I had come to the logical conclusion that a true Free Woman deals with such embarrassing memories by conveniently pretending they had never happened in the first place.
That and disposing of any witnesses to the contrary.
Only, in this case disposing of witnesses was somewhat irrelevant. Simon had more to be ashamed of than I, and Mikos had left for Argentum, conveniently placing him beyond my powerful reach, as even I have limits.
This is the first attempt at giving a list of the drawings that Chloe, First Girl on the estate of Brinn of the Sardar has produced in support of the stories written by Emma. It is current as of 10th March, 2020.
I have split the list into three parts, Part 1 is those drawings that support the short stories/previews and Part 2 contains multiple character entries for those that support the full-length stories. These have been split into three parts, Part 201 is the characters from A-D, Part 202, characters E-M, and Part 203 from N-Z. Part 3 is single character entries for the full-length stories and they also have been split as in part 2. This has been done to help loading into Blogger which does not like large files. It is interesting to note that the complete file reached 17 A4 pages on 10th March 2020 and 21 pages by 5th April, 2021.
I have attempted to list all characters that occur in Emma of Gor’s novels.
Where Gorean characters are given, I have listed their names and Home Stone, where known, unless they were already a slave. Barbarian characters are normally just named unless their original Home Stone is mentioned.
Characters that appeared in John Norman’s books are frequently mentioned by Emma, in particular Tarl Cabot, who Emma believes is a historical/mythological character.
I have attempted to list all locations and non-character references that occur in Emma of Gor’s novels.
The character anthology has become unwieldy, as I start this on 4th May, 2020 there are just over 500 entries, and it is proving very difficult for Emma to upload it to Blogger, I will split the character anthology into 4 separate sections, as I have done with the Chloe drawings anthology and then list here all the places mentioned in the stories.
I would like to sincerely thank Mick of Milford who volunteered to help compile this gazetteer.
