"Sometimes," said Kamchak, "the way to conceal something is not to conceal it—it is thought that what is of value will be hidden, and so it is natural to suppose that what is not hidden will not be of value". - (Nomads of Gor, Chapter 26, Sentence #497)

I shook my head in disbelief. I recalled Kamchak sitting on the gray, rather squarish, grained thing with the rounded corners. I recalled he had moved it about with his foot, that once he had kicked it across the wagon for me to examine. "Sometimes," said Kamchak, "the way to conceal something is not to conceal it—it is thought that what is of value will be hidden, and so it is natural to suppose that what is not hidden will not be of value". "But," I said, my voice trembling, "you rolled it about—you would throw it to the side of the wagon—once you even kicked it across the rug to me that I might examine it". I looked at him, incredulously. "Even," I said, "did you dare to sit upon it!" "I shall hope," chuckled Kamchak, "that the Priest-Kings will take no offense, but understand that such little bits of acting—rather well carried off, I think—were important parts of my deception". - (Nomads of Gor)
