Surely this had nothing to do with the entertainment to which Decius Albus had alluded. - (Plunder of Gor, Chapter 59, Sentence #45)

I blinked suddenly, and drew back, my eyes half shut. The door to the left had been thrown open and bright sunlight enflamed the doorway, and I heard the sound of men outside, and there was a sound of cheering, and an eager howling of Kurii, and two gates were flung up, one at the near end of the verr pen, to my left, separating it from its chute, and that at the far end of the chute, leading toward the opened doorway, and now, from behind, entering the chamber, I heard the shouts of men, and I saw one, far to the left, outside the verr pen, carrying a pointed stick, and then other men, with sticks, had entered the pen, from behind, and were herding the verr out the chute, through the doorway, into the light outside. I understood nothing of what was occurring. Surely this had nothing to do with the entertainment to which Decius Albus had alluded. The verr, the domestic verr, is a placid, contented, gregarious, grazing beast, raised for meat. Flocks of verr might figure in bucolic pageants or dramas dealing with the romances of shepherds and shepherdesses. What other contribution to an entertainment might be expected of verr? What else could be their role? Too, these were familiar verr, not the related beast, the larger, belligerent, territorial mountain verr I had heard of, horned and agile, which are dangerous to approach, particularly on precipitous slopes. - (Plunder of Gor)
