I also noted the gray of men in the stands. - (Outlaw of Gor, Chapter 13, Sentence #30)

Hanging over favored portions of the stands, which ascended on all sides, were giant striped awnings of billowing red and yellow silk. It seemed that all the glorious colors of Gor which had been denied the buildings of Tharna were lavished on this place of its amusements. In the stands, shaded by the awnings, I saw hundreds of silver masks, the lofty women of Tharna, reclining on benches softened with cushions of colored silk—come to view the Amusements. I also noted the gray of men in the stands. Several were armed warriors, perhaps stationed there to keep the peace, but many must have been common citizens of Tharna. Some seemed to be conversing among themselves, perhaps laying wagers of one sort or another, but most sat still on the stone benches, glum and silent in their gray robes, their thoughts not easily read. Linna, in the dungeon, had told Andreas and me that a man of Tharna must attend the Amusements of Tharna at least four times a year, and that, failing that, he must take part in them himself. - (Outlaw of Gor)
