Whereas the remark had been ostensively addressed to Tenrik it had obviously not been intended for him, or for him in particular, but, by means of him, so to speak, had been a remark addressed to all. - (Witness of Gor, Chapter 11, Sentence #1714)

"This is not the time for us to amuse ourselves with a slave," said the man in the chair. "No, Captain," said Tenrik. In that moment it seemed that order was restored. Whereas the remark had been ostensively addressed to Tenrik it had obviously not been intended for him, or for him in particular, but, by means of him, so to speak, had been a remark addressed to all. I gathered from the remark, of course, that there might well be times when such as I might be given up for the amusement of men, but that this was not such a time. Too, I gathered that there was discipline in this place, and here I do not speak of such things as the correctives and admonitives, however sure, strict and severe, to which an errant slave might find herself subjected, but of sterner stuff, the discipline of the military, that of the Warrior, that discipline necessary for the raid, the engagement, that required for decisive and coordinated action in highly dangerous circumstances, and, even, too, that other sort of discipline, the long, slow, staying sort of discipline, that which might be required for weeks and months, even years, that tenacity, that sturdiness, needed for the sometimes seemingly endless rigors and privations of campaigns, and wars. I rose a bit, on my elbows, my wrists tied behind me. - (Witness of Gor)
