He drew his sword: a gleaming length of tempered steel with a beaten silver hilt.

Her gleaming length flowed over the edge of the dais and through the black opening.

He opened his eyes quickly to see, search- ing the Sword's gleaming length.

Then he threw aside the torn halves of material and exposed the whole gleaming length of her body.

Slowly Tam drew the weapon; firelight played along the gleaming length.

She turned its gleaming length over to drain the water out through the rip down its side.

Her belted robe opened as if on cue and he saw the gleaming length of one leg.

Then she withdrew her blade, seeing its long, gleaming length mirrored in his eyes.

She dropped the gleaming length of flexible metal on the sheet of paper, added the key, pushed the little pile toward Dumarest.

It fired all along the gleaming length until the light seemed to stretch upward into the very heart of heaven.
