I had crossed the street, to be less conspicuous when I had passed the shop of Epicrates, which was now open, the wooden screen folded back and secured. - (Plunder of Gor, Chapter 41, Sentence #68)

Those who had set the fire, and perhaps waited outside to strike us, if we fled the building, would by now have determined, presumably to their chagrin, that no charred bodies lay amongst the debris. I thought it even possible that they might have reported to their superiors that their mission had been successfully completed, or, more likely, more judiciously, that we had not been in the building.

I had crossed the street, to be less conspicuous when I had passed the shop of Epicrates, which was now open, the wooden screen folded back and secured. I did see Epicrates at his wheel.
