The shelf was hot, and she had moved, so her knees and toes were now muchly aware of the temperature of the cement. |

Perhaps I could bribe the cleaners of streets to take you from my shelf, to throw into the pits, to dispose of you as refuse, as flesh-garbage! Do you know what it costs to rent this space, even without an awning!" "No, Master," said more than one of the girls. |

"You have your pick of any of these!" expostulated Targo, waving his arms about, indicating the occupants of the shelf. |

Some of the girls on the shelf moved angrily in their chains. |

There was laughter from the other girls on the shelf. |

Then she looked out from the shelf, at the market, so bustling, colorful and crowded, the stalls, the beasts, the carts. |

Mercifully the sun was lower now, and, although the shelf was still in full sunlight, the sun should, in a few minutes, descend behind the building across the square. |

They were not chained naked on a cement shelf, eyes half closed against the glaring sunlight. |

Are we not, fulfilled, in our collars, a thousand times more free than they? Kneeling, in position, chained by the left ankle to a ring, her throat enclosed in a heavy, clumsy, ringed, iron collar, on a cement sales shelf, before Targo, sensitive to her nudity, and miserable, she noted one and anoth... |
10 |
| 16 | 649 |
"No!" The other girls on the shelf looked at her, puzzled. |
10 |
| 16 | 680 |
"Please do not have me beaten, Master!" she called out to Targo, over her shoulder, lying on her belly, on the cement, grasping the ring, but he had left the shelf. |
10 |
| 16 | 710 |
"And did you deserve the beating?" "Yes, Master!" "And are you now more aware of what it is to be a slave?" "Yes, Master!" "And you are now going to try to be a good slave, aren't you?" "Yes, Master!" He then left the shelf. |
10 |
| 16 | 716 |
Perhaps a handsome man had paused by the shelf. |
10 |
| 16 | 717 |
Doubtless the woman would do anything to be off the shelf, to be out of the weighty collar. |
10 |
| 16 | 725 |
"What place is this? Where am I?" The girl looked about but neither Targo nor Barzak were near the shelf, and the crowd, smaller now in the late afternoon, had its own concerns. |
10 |
| 16 | 726 |
Little attention was being bestowed upon the shelf. |
10 |
| 16 | 772 |
Certainly what she could see from the shelf, the market before her, the square, seemed dusty, crowded and squalid, nothing like that marvelous panorama she had glimpsed from the roof of the house, that tall, cylinderlike structure. |
10 |
| 16 | 787 |
Ellen looked to the left and right, on the surface of the shelf. |
10 |
| 16 | 804 |
Ellen shrank back, away from the front of the shelf. |
10 |
| 16 | 812 |
They looked upon the occupants of the shelf, and smiled, tossing their heads, doubtless comparing themselves favorably with what they saw there. |
10 |
| 16 | 817 |
At this moment, to Ellen's dismay, and that of her companions, the lead guard, seizing the first girl by the upper arm, pulled the coffle through the crowd, bringing it to a place just before the shelf. |
10 |
| 16 | 818 |
Instantly Ellen, and the other girls on the shelf, frightened, went to first obeisance position. |
10 |
| 16 | 836 |
"Cement-shelf girls!" "She-urts!" "She-sleen!" "Pot-and-mat girls!" "Low slaves!" "Barbarians!" "Earth-girls!" "Bondmaids!" "Plow-thralls!" "Collar meat!" "Slave meat!" "Flesh-trash!" Such were the epithets that sped forth that evening from the throats of their fair rivals. |
10 |
| 16 | 841 |
The virulence of the coffle, as it poured scorn on the shelf girls, was certainly clear, and its expressions vehement and explicit, but it utilized few, if any, expressions which would not have been in common use in the surrounding community. |
10 |
| 16 | 894 |
"Forgive us, Mistresses," said the girls on the shelf. |
10 |
| 16 | 896 |
"You will now, in order, shelf-girls," said the guardsman, "acknowledge your inferiority to our charges". |
10 |
| 16 | 897 |
And he was not satisfied until each of the slaves on the shelf acknowledged herself inferior goods to those on his chain. |
10 |
| 16 | 903 |
She was inferior to, and much less than, any of the four neck-chained beauties who stood before the shelf. |
10 |
| 16 | 908 |
Then, mercifully, the Cosian dragged the lead girl in the coffle away from the shelf and began to conduct her, her chain sisters perforce behind her, through the crowd. |
10 |
| 16 | 910 |
One of the girls in the coffle, she who was last on the chain, or slaver's necklace, turned about to cast a last contemptuous glance at the shelf, but the guardsman behind her struck her a sharp, stinging blow with the flat of his hand below the small of her back, which resounded throughout the mark... |
10 |
| 16 | 935 |
Indeed, two torches had even been lit on the building behind the shelf, one rather at each end. |
10 |
| 16 | 958 |
It is my impression that you have been listless on the shelf, save perhaps when some handsome fellow strolled by. |
10 |
| 16 | 960 |
As soon as you spot a fellow with a wallet, whether he is misshapen, lame or whatever, of any caste, and smell, who comes within five paces of the shelf, kneel, call out, lift your hands, smile, wriggle, make yourselves as pleasant and congenial as she-urts can. |
10 |
| 16 | 979 |
"I know that this is your first day on the shelf, little she-urt," he said, kindly, "but I want you to learn quickly and make a good impression. |
10 |
| 16 | 1006 |
"Be silent, shelf girl," said the girl to Ellen's left. |
10 |
| 16 | 1021 |
"She is Cichek, she is Emris, and she is Jasmine," said Cotina, indicating the other girls on the shelf. |
10 |
| 16 | 1081 |
"But we find ourselves chained on a shelf," said Cotina. |
10 |
| 16 | 1083 |
"I do not want to be chained on a shelf!" She jerked at her ankle chain, but as helplessly as had Ellen. |
10 |
| 16 | 1088 |
She did not want to be chained on a public shelf. |
10 |
| 16 | 1096 |
Is it a woman he wants, truly, or not a woman, really, but something else, perhaps a pseudo-male? So Ellen lay on the cement shelf. |
10 |
| 16 | 1110 |
How fearful to be at the feet of a man who knows you are a true slave! How would he treat you? With what contempt, and lust? But, lying on the shelf, looking out on the crowd, she became apprehensive. |
10 |
| 16 | 1121 |
She, the whole of her, was chained on a public shelf. |
10 |
| 16 | 1125 |
A tall, broad-shouldered man in scarlet, massively handsome, had approached the shelf. |
10 |
| 16 | 1139 |
"I alone am fair of these on the shelf". |
10 |
| 16 | 1190 |
"Well, Ellen," said he, "who is the best and most beautiful slave on the shelf?" "Masters will decide that," she said, "not I, Master". |
10 |
| 16 | 1224 |
"Did you anticipate that you would one day be a slave on another world, publicly and legally, stripped on a public shelf, chained, affording small ministrations to the back of a man's hand?" "No, Master," said Ellen, pressing her lips to the back of his hand, softly. |
10 |
| 16 | 1240 |
"I have seen the shelf of Targo last week," he said. |
10 |
| 16 | 1242 |
"Thank you, Master!" said several of the girls on the shelf, elated. |
10 |
| 16 | 1247 |
"Then you want to remain here, in a weight collar, on the shelf?" he said. |
10 |
| 16 | 1256 |
"When will such a man come to the shelf again?" asked Cichek. |
10 |
| 16 | 1293 |
Wriggle! Squirm!" Ellen shrieked with misery and collapsed, sobbing, to the shelf. |

"Ten copper tarsk-bits would be too much for you!" Ellen's body, lying on the shelf, was wracked with sobs. |
10 |
| 16 | 1306 |
"Behold, kind sir," said Targo, turning to a fellow nearby, "the loveliness of Cotina, the sweetness of her thighs, her well-turned ankles, and note Lydia, a beauty who might have been from the north, the only one so fair, with blond hair and blue eyes, on the shelf, and see delicious, cuddly Jasmin... |
10 |
| 16 | 1312 |
I am prepared to let any of these unparalleled beauties go for as little as a dozen silver tarsks!" "Shelf girls!" snorted a man, turning away. |
10 |
| 16 | 1320 |
The fellow came to the surface of the shelf, climbing directly onto it, whereas Targo hurried about, to the side, went up by the steps, and joined him near Cotina. |
10 |
| 16 | 1326 |
"Yes?" said Targo, for another fellow had clambered to the surface of the shelf. |
10 |
| 16 | 1352 |
Shortly thereafter, Cichek and Emris had been freed of the shelf ring, and Cichek was standing behind Ellen, her hands behind her, as ordered, and her ankle chain had been padlocked into the Ellen's shackle ring. |
10 |
| 16 | 1362 |
Ellen, between Lydia and Cichek, descended the shelf steps and, in a moment, entered the building. |
10 |
| 16 | 1419 |
She feared that she, and doubtless the others, had burned on the shelf. |

A Barbarian Slave Girl Is Vended It was now Ellen's third day on the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 2 |
She stood at the back of the shelf, against the wall of the tenement, her back to the wall of the tenement, she then facing outward, her wrists chained over her head to a ring set in the tenement wall. |
10 |
| 17 | 7 |
Following this Ellen had had to apply soothing oil to the backs of her sister slaves, to assuage the pain of their burns and give them some protection on the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 45 |
Targo had come to the shelf, to assist a buyer who was examining Emris. |
10 |
| 17 | 51 |
Not a great deal had gone on, on her second day on the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 57 |
She was in first position, or in something rather like it, rather near the front edge of the shelf, the chain attached to her shackle ring trailing behind her to its ring. |
10 |
| 17 | 105 |
Later a small girl had drifted to the front of the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 114 |
Targo came about the front of the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 137 |
How nicely and naturally she, with her affected severity of manner and her carefully chosen, mannish, businesslike tailored suits, had seemed to fit in with them! She was now chained on a shelf, a naked slave, for sale. |
10 |
| 17 | 139 |
The slaves would be fed, usually, before being brought to the shelf and after being taken from it. |
10 |
| 17 | 140 |
Shortly after Targo had returned, a man, with a teen-aged boy with him, presumably his son, made his way through the crowd, toward the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 147 |
The man and his son ascended to the surface of the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 233 |
He and his son then descended from the shelf and went into the crowd. |
10 |
| 17 | 276 |
He then rose to his feet, and left the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 282 |
In this arrangement, on her back, on the shelf, above the ground level, the slave's figure is beautifully displayed. |

As she lay supine, chained, on the shelf, her knees up a little, her arms back and over her head, almost as though alone, she fought with her own thoughts and feelings. |
10 |
| 17 | 307 |
"No, no, Master!" But he had then turned about and left the surface of the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 311 |
Several times, later in the afternoon, men came to the surface of the shelf to inspect one or another of the items of merchandise there displayed. |
10 |
| 17 | 317 |
"So what is wrong with you?" had asked Targo when the prospective buyer had left the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 333 |
Then, after a few minutes, he had left the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 334 |
Ellen recalled that Jill had not wished to be touched that morning by a barbarian, in the matter of applying the soothing lotions to protect the slaves from the sun on the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 365 |
The other slaves on the shelf ceased then to attend to Jill and Ellen. |
10 |
| 17 | 367 |
The second possible buyer who seemed to show some interest in Ellen, the first being he with whom she had with some success kept herself seemingly inert, did not come to the shelf until late in the afternoon. |
10 |
| 17 | 410 |
The fellow in the rough tunic, Torquatus, we may suppose, lifted his hand to Targo in salute, and left the vicinity of the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 411 |
He was accompanied doubtless by Varcus, the beast which had leaped to the surface of the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 486 |
"We have seen you on the shelf". |
10 |
| 17 | 541 |
Then, again, in the heat, in her chains, on the hardness of the shelf, she fell asleep. |
10 |
| 17 | 785 |
She was scarcely aware that the man had left her side, and that Targo, too, was no longer on the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 810 |
"Guardsman! Search for an escaped slave in a weight collar, a high collar of thick, black iron, hammered shut about her neck, its two forward projections pierced, a dangling, two-hort iron ring threaded through the piercings!" So Ellen lay on the cement shelf, chained, closing her eyes, shuddering, ... |
10 |
| 17 | 817 |
Had Targo's women been permitted slave cosmetics, they would have run about their lips and eyes, and stained the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 831 |
The water on the shelf became warm and began to steam upward in the heat. |
10 |

* * * * It was now Ellen's third day on the shelf. |
10 |

She stood at the back of the shelf, against the wall of the tenement, her back to the wall of the tenement, she then facing outward, her wrists chained over her head to a ring set in the tenement wall. |
10 |
| 17 | 931 |
In moments Barzak had rearranged the chains, that they not be twisted, and Ellen, to her chagrin, and shame, found herself facing the wall, at the back of the shelf, her hands still chained well over her head. |
10 |
| 17 | 982 |
A silence came over the men near the shelf. |
10 |
| 17 | 1007 |
"Then return her to the shelf, hooded, her hands tied behind her back". |
10 |
| 17 | 1110 |
You had me sold as a low slave, from a common shelf, in a poor market, Mirus, she thought. |
10 |
| 18 | 129 |
That had been established even before she had been purchased from the shelf of Targo. |
10 |
| 18 | 355 |
What could she expect, here? She had not even been the best meat on Targo's shelf. |
10 |
| 18 | 781 |
Then, twisting water out of it, she slapped it down angrily on the sloping cement shelf before her, beyond her knees, on their towel. |
10 |
| 19 | 394 |
Tersius set the lamp, a small, shallow, panlike tharlarion-oil lamp, on a shelf bracket and hurried to gather up an armful of harnesses from pegs on the loft wall. |

10 |

Did she not know her beauty was public? Had she not learned that, forcibly and clearly, in the Kettle Market in Ar, on Targo's sales shelf? It seemed she was being regarded as a mere, interesting, sleek animal, perhaps as a very special sort of tarsk or kaiila. |
10 |

It was a scent she had experienced once before, on Targo's sales shelf in the Kettle Market, though then it had been so suddenly, so unexpectedly, upon her, almost stifling, almost overwhelming, so hot, so suddenly close and terrible. |
10 |

She remembered incidents in the house of Mirus, many in her training, her sometimes almost hysterical despair of ever being able to please her instructors, their impatience with her, her deferent and lengthy serving of formally clad diners, she naked and in a collar, her abuse at the hands of Mirus,... |

Too, if the slave should be standing, her hands chained over her head, nude on a sales shelf, or be nude, half kneeling, half lying, chained on a heavy, wooden platform, or such, it is easy to see how she might feel, finding herself the object of a male's scrutiny. |
