Slaves, of course, another form of treasure, however desperate they might be to set foot on land, however pathetically they might plead, would remain on board, as well. - (Mariners of Gor, Chapter 21, Sentence #215)

One is seldom aware of one's own accent. As Alcinoë suggested, long ago in the cell, is it not the others who always have an accent? Lord Okimoto clearly feared a mass desertion, particularly if the armsmen and mariners might depart with their packs filled with treasure. The armsmen and mariners, however, as it later became clear, would not have been well advised to put such plans into effect, at least in the territories at hand. Slaves, of course, another form of treasure, however desperate they might be to set foot on land, however pathetically they might plead, would remain on board, as well. I then suspected the motivation for the unprecedented liberty that had of late been accorded to our shapely kajirae. Their display was to incite the interest of the men, and make their desertion less likely. Whereas I had no interest in desertion, had I any, I would not have wished to leave the ship without at least one of its slaves thonged and on my leash, perhaps Alcinoë, though I had no interest in her. - (Mariners of Gor)
