Then, a moment later, it seemed she had acknowledged my claim, and wished little of me but compassion and silence. - (Quarry of Gor, Chapter 14, Sentence #200)

I was muchly dissatisfied with our exchange. When I had confronted the proud Adraste, who had at the time seemed much agitated, with the announcement that she was the former Lady Julia Leta, she had not responded as I would have expected, perhaps collapsing in terror, shuddering in dismay, weeping uncontrollably, moaning in despair, hysterically denying the claim, or such, but had, apparently, been amused. Indeed, she had nearly broken into laughter. Then, a moment later, it seemed she had acknowledged my claim, and wished little of me but compassion and silence. Her mirth had seemed anomalous; certainly it suggested that she might not be the Lady Julia Leta; then, a bit thereafter, too readily in my view, she had confessed to having been the Lady Julia Leta, admitted her guilt, sought my understanding, professed contrition, and begged my silence. It seemed to me reasonably clear that she could not be my interlocutor's Lady Julia Leta of Ar's Street of Coins, unless she was an actress of unusual skill and subtlety who, while actually being the Lady Julia Leta, chose to claim that identity in such a way that I would be unlikely to believe the claim. It seemed more likely that she was not the Lady Julia Leta but was pretending to be so, to amuse herself at my expense, taking pleasure in deluding a despised, ignorant barbarian. - (Quarry of Gor)
