In such a case she is considered no differently, and treated no differently than if she were a girl brought in on tarnback from a distant city. - (Outlaw of Gor, Chapter 26, Sentence #69)

If he does not accept her as a Free Companion—and few men of Tharna will be in a mood to extend the privileges of Free Companionship to a silver mask—he may then, without further ado, simply collar her as his slave, or if he wishes he may reject her completely. If she is rejected she may propose herself similarly to yet another of the men of Tharna, and perhaps yet another and another. After the six months, however—perhaps she has been reluctant to seek a master?—her initiative in these matters is lost and she belongs to the first man who encircles her throat with the graceful, gleaming badge of servitude. In such a case she is considered no differently, and treated no differently than if she were a girl brought in on tarnback from a distant city. In effect, considering the temper of the men of Tharna, Lara's judgment gives the silver masks the opportunity, for a time, to choose a master, or after that time to be themselves chosen as a slave girl. Thus each silver mask will in time belong to a beast, though at first she is given some opportunity to determine whose yellow cords she will feel, on whose rug the ceremony of submission will take place. Perhaps Lara understood, as I did not, that women such as silver masks must be taught love, and can learn it only from a master. - (Outlaw of Gor)
