| 14 | 199 | He held the leashes, several in each hand, of more than forty catches. |
| 14 | 200 | The collars were of thick leather, some three inches high, with metal insert locks, flat metal bolts slipping, locking, into spring catches; when closed, two rectangular metal plates adjoined; sewn into each collar, opposite the lock, was a large, welded metal ring; about this ring was closed the leash snap; the lock, as the collars were now arranged, was at the back of the neck, as in most Gorean slave collars; the metal ring then, to which the leash might be attached, as the collars were now arranged, was at the front of the neck; this facilitates leading; on the other hand, the collars can be turned as one might wish; for example, the ring might be put on the right or left side of the neck, perhaps to admit the threading through of a chain, rope, or thong, for coffling, or, if one wishes, a light metal rod, perhaps for securing a line of women on a sales shelf, perhaps on their knees; if the ring is put to the back, then, of course, this facilitates arrangements such as fastening her to a wall, a post, or such; the action of the leash snap was mechanical but, apparently, it was beyond the strength of a woman to open it. |
