What if it had not been a coincidence, as I had hitherto supposed, that you had been substituted for Adraste? What if it had been deliberate? What if there were some connection between you and Adraste, a connection that even you did not suspect? What if you were a barbarian, which it turned out you were, as I discovered, and were an unwitting tool, one useful to my enemies, a tool chosen for its naivety and ignorance, a tool which might be useful to them again and again, in a thousand ways, surveillance, spying, reporting, you a slave close to Adraste, and those about her, or interested in her, and so on? Not even Adraste would suspect you, a barbarian. - (Quarry of Gor, Chapter 25, Sentence #95)

I attended to rumors. I was in despair. And then something occurred to me. What if it had not been a coincidence, as I had hitherto supposed, that you had been substituted for Adraste? What if it had been deliberate? What if there were some connection between you and Adraste, a connection that even you did not suspect? What if you were a barbarian, which it turned out you were, as I discovered, and were an unwitting tool, one useful to my enemies, a tool chosen for its naivety and ignorance, a tool which might be useful to them again and again, in a thousand ways, surveillance, spying, reporting, you a slave close to Adraste, and those about her, or interested in her, and so on? Not even Adraste would suspect you, a barbarian. And would not one barbarian be better for such purposes than a dozen barbarians, in turn, could they be obtained, which anomaly might attract unwanted attention? I did then, and shortly, learn you were indeed a barbarian, and then that you had been shipped to Port Kar, to be a paga girl in a tavern called the Golden Chain. Slender as was this reed of possibility, I took ship to Port Kar. Perhaps you can conceive of my delight when I, having followed you, learned that the elusive Adraste served in the same tavern. - (Quarry of Gor)
