Vella herself, I gathered, had not anticipated that she would be making it. - (Tribesmen of Gor, Chapter 26, Sentence #493)

It was no secret in the kasbah that lovely Vella, whom I had found displeasing, had been the favorite of Ibn Saran, that she had been a high slave, that she had been pampered and privileged, that she had been given the luxury of private quarters, and special jewelries and silks, that she had disdained to commingle with her sisters in bondage, that she, though only of Earth, had held herself better than they. Accordingly, then, an unusually large number of girls had gathered to escort Vella gleefully, as though in festival, to the slave quarters. Some of these were, I suppose, alerted by the chant of the caller, but a great many, it seems, had been lingering in the vicinity, anticipating this journey. Vella herself, I gathered, had not anticipated that she would be making it. But her sisters in bondage, it seems, knew more of these things than she. Perhaps Vella had thought she would be dealing with a pliant, manipulable man of Earth; but then not even all men of Earth are such; did she not know that; they, the girls, on the other hand, given their different cultural background, did not expect vacillation and weakness from a man, but what they, Gorean girls, had come to expect from a man, conviction, assurance, decision, resolve and strength. The strap of the caller, lashing about, is painful through slave silk, but many of the girls, it seemed, had risked even this, that they might dart in and abuse the crawling slave. - (Tribesmen of Gor)
