BankruptThese are relevant references from the Books where Bankrupt is mentioned. I make no pronouncements on these matters, but report them as I find them. Arrive at your own conclusions. I wish you well, Fogaban "I do not know where the gold comes from - all of it -" said Portus. "My own house could not begin to sponsor the games of even two days - we would be bankrupt." Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 19 "Ar is bankrupt," cried a man. "She is occupied, looted. She is a den of cowards, beggars and traitors! She lives at the sufferance of Cos!" Prize of Gor Book 27 Page 493 "You are not after food, he-tarsk," said Lady Temione. "I am not stupid! There, at the table, reclines Gordon, the Administrator of Hammerfest. With him are four members of the High Council of Hammerfest. All are rich. Satiate there, if you must, your hunger for gold. I am poor! My produce rots, my fields are barren. I have little or nothing. My coffers are empty. I am bankrupt. Take what you can from me, a few coins, a jewel or two, and leave. Let you and your fellows, if you must, despoil these others, not me. They, not I, are the true masters of wealth." "My dear Lady Temione," said Gordon, " if I may call you that for a time, I found your plea of penury to a presumed interloper surprising, for my tour of your resources, as short and minimal as it was, convinced me that you are the proprietor of one of the major fortunes on the Vosk." "I am," said Lady Temione. "You are not then nigh destitute, nor bankrupt, nor on the verge of bankruptcy?" "Certainly not," she said. |
