So it was best for her to break with Stave.

She appeared to believe that Stave and the others could not hear her.

She did not answer Stave as he might have desired.

For a long moment, Stave appeared to consider her words.

"You know Stave must be with a different woman each day.

It was a great relief to try to save Stave.

"So we had better not get caught again," Stave said.

However, she had no wish to interrupt what Stave was saying.

Then she would have to marry Stave, or risk the alternative.

I'd feel a lot better if Stave were there too."

The last person he wanted to see was Stave.

Stave is dear to me alone, not to the others, and they will be endangered.

In spite of all her efforts, she had earned no support from Stave.

"I do not understand about breeding with a thousand women," Stave said.

Linden knew the story: she had heard it from Stave only a few days ago.

Apparently he or his people esteemed her less than Stave did.

You could have gone back and tried to make a stand, tried to take the Stave.

Indeed, the notion of marrying Stave was growing in her.

Before Stave could protest, a woman came swiftly toward them over the rock.

An instant later, however, she realized that Stave had no such expectation.

And on his back sat Stave as if they had endured a furnace together.

Nona and Stave put their hands on the body of the horse.

It was evident that she did not want Stave to do this, but saw no better alternative.

She had been the one who originally tried to seduce Stave.

She had already begun to fall when Stave leaped to the old man's side and struck him down.

The security staff was also cut, to four from eight.

The school has about 580 students and 100 staff members.

Most of the new space has gone to the staff.

Staff members on leave have been told not to return.

Not for months after the staff thought she was ready to go.

How much of the total was office staff is not clear.

About 20 former staff members get together every few months.

Now about 75 percent of his staff members are women.

The new office will have room for a staff of 75.

But most companies cannot or will not increase support staff.

The rest of the staff did a fine job at all times.

We had a pretty good staff, and he was our best.

The staff is down 200 in the last two years.

For one thing, the staff seemed to know a lot about books.

More than 85 percent said their schools did not have enough staff.

Staff members say he does so many times a day.

He became my chief of staff at a difficult time.

Now, if he can just help hold the staff together.

After a while he brought in several of his staff members.

But I think they could cut staff at the central office.

They include three members of his staff and one former Met.

The paper put him on staff and he left school.

Members of the education staff will be available to answer questions.

The two staff members were given seven days to leave the country.

Second, we have taken a very major step in staff policy.

So it was best for her to break with Stave.
