It was late in the low-ceilinged, lamp-hung hall of the Golden Chain. - (Quarry of Gor, Chapter 46, Sentence #18)

It was ten days since the repelled attack on the holding of Bosk of Port Kar, who was apparently still at sea, supposedly in the vicinity of the Farther Islands, intent on investigating depredation and carnage wrought in his name. But, for all I knew, he was himself a pirate and marauder. Might it not be clever to pose as one's own imposter, to rob and burn, pretending to be one's own self? How cunning to seize loot for oneself and meanwhile feign outrage over the supposed exploits of a masquerading other! I knelt and served paga to a table, lowering my head and extending my arms. It was late in the low-ceilinged, lamp-hung hall of the Golden Chain. It was crowded, as was often the case toward the end of a week or the end of a passage hand, that having to do with the paying of wages. There are twelve months in the Gorean calendar, each consisting of five five-day weeks, each followed by a five-day passage hand. The only exception is the five-day "Waiting Hand" which follows the Twelfth Passage Hand, and precedes the first day of the month of En'Kara, or En'Kara-La-Torvis, which is the vernal equinox, the first day of the Gorean New Year. - (Quarry of Gor)
