Surely it could not be! A few yards ahead, standing before a street bin of cheap rence-paper scrolls, on the walkway, in front of the scroll shop, chatting, in street robes, were two men. - (Quarry of Gor, Chapter 11, Sentence #347)

Then suddenly I stopped, startled, gasped, caught my breath, and nearly swooned. I backed against the wall to my right, away from the canal, that I might not fall. I struggled to retain consciousness. Surely it could not be! A few yards ahead, standing before a street bin of cheap rence-paper scrolls, on the walkway, in front of the scroll shop, chatting, in street robes, were two men. One was holding, partly opened, a scroll, the spindles or rollers of which, knobless and unornamented, were of natural wood, neither stained nor varnished. A white ribbon was tied to one of the spindles or rollers which, I supposed, as there was writing on it, identified the scroll. Different-color ribbons are commonly indexed to one consideration or another, most commonly the asking price for a scroll, after which negotiations commonly begin. - (Quarry of Gor)
