7 51 We flew for perhaps an Ahn and then, following a lead tarnsman, dipped and, one at a time, the others circling, landed on a rocky shelf on the side of a steep cliff, apparently no different from dozens of other such shelves we had already passed, save that this shelf, due to an overhang of the cliff...

16 835 Instantly a fierce torrent of abuse from the chained women rained upon the occupants of the shelf, to which the occupants of the shelf did not dare to reply.

16 977 Targo came about the shelf and stood before Ellen, he on the ground, she on the shelf.

10
17 55 Yesterday, on the shelf, however, she had had some unpleasant experiences, which had perhaps contributed to her present predicament, that of being chained upright, standing, at the back of the shelf.
Details
10
17 56 In the morning, shortly after they had been brought in coffle to the surface of the shelf, thence to be chained as before to various rings, a boy, surely no more than ten or eleven years old, had come to stand before the shelf.
Details
10
17 370 Ellen was lying on the shelf, her eyes closed against the sun, when suddenly, almost at her side, there was a loud, swift, scuffling noise and there was suddenly something large, extremely large, and alive, at least fifteen or twenty feet long, and weighing easily several hundred pounds, on the shel...

10
17 385 It thrust its large snout against Ellen's body, and under her arms, and between her thighs, and she screamed and twisted, and Targo told her to be quiet, and it licked her body, as though tasting her, and then drew its tongue back into the mouth, and then it moved about on the shelf, making its way ...

17 591 Ellen moved a bit, chained between the rings, on her back, her ankles chained so closely to the ring on the left, as one would face the shelf, her hands chained back, over her head, so closely to the ring on the right, as one would face the shelf.
Details
10
17 1021 In a moment, still carried, helplessly hooded and bound, her head to the rear, as a slave is carried, she felt herself brought again into the sunlight, and up the few steps to the surface of the shelf, where she was knelt down, she thought near the forward edge of the shelf.
Details
10
17 1028 Then she felt herself lifted from the shelf, presumably by Barzak, and placed on her feet, on the stones of the market place, doubtless before the shelf.
Details
10
22 321 This was far better, thought Ellen, than the cruel, cement shelf, boiling in the sunlight, on which Targo had exhibited her, a shelf to which buyers were free to ascend and handle the merchandise, and were even encouraged to do so.
Details
10
16 1 The Sunlit Cement Shelf For a time she could make nothing out of the sounds about her.
Details
10
16 85 She was on a narrow, sunlit cement shelf at one side of a small plaza, or square.
Details
10
16 93 She was on a narrow cement shelf, backed by a building on which it abutted, rather like a porch.
Details
10
16 94 The shelf was something like five feet in depth, and thirty feet, or so, in length.
Details
10
16 97 To the left of the shelf, as one would face it, there was a door at the ground level, through which access to the building was obtained.
Details
10
16 98 It was through this door that women could be brought to and from the shelf.
Details
10
16 101 It was within one of these basement rooms, ill-lit, musty, damp and straw-strewn, that the women were housed when not on the shelf.
Details
10
16 103 At present, however, the poles, with their awnings, were not set, reposing rather in a storeroom of the low brick building, the tenement, or insula, as the shelf, without the awnings, rented for a lower price.
Details
10
16 117 There were five such rings on the shelf.
Details
10
16 122 On the shelf there were seven girls, including herself.
Details
10
16 161 "Buy me, Master!" called out a girl, to her right, kneeling on the cement, holding out her hands to a handsome fellow in leather, who had paused near the shelf.
Details
10
16 168 Certainly she feared to assume the provocative posture of a kneeling female, particularly one spread-kneed, with its devastatingly shocking acknowledgment of surrender, helplessness, bondage, and submission, and she feared, too, to lie down, facing forward, covering herself, for some might look upon...
Details
10
16 207 The shelf was hot, and she had moved, so her knees and toes were now muchly aware of the temperature of the cement.
Details
10
16 216 It was Ellen's impression that the girls had called out only when interesting, handsome men had passed, or loitered in the vicinity of the shelf.
Details
10
16 286 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.
Details
10
16 303 "You have your pick of any of these!" expostulated Targo, waving his arms about, indicating the occupants of the shelf.
Details
10
16 308 Some of the girls on the shelf moved angrily in their chains.
Details
10
16 347 She was naked, slave naked, in her chains, uncomfortable on the hot shelf.
Details
10
16 398 There was laughter from the other girls on the shelf.
Details
10
16 483 Then she looked out from the shelf, at the market, so bustling, colorful and crowded, the stalls, the beasts, the carts.
Details
10
16 513 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.
Details
10
16 524 They were not chained naked on a cement shelf, eyes half closed against the glaring sunlight.
Details
10
16 560 And how different was she, she thought, from the free women, they in their robes, resplendent in the glory of their liberty, she a stripped slave, chained on a public shelf.
Details
10
16 619 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...
Details
10
16 649 "No!" The other girls on the shelf looked at her, puzzled.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
16 716 Perhaps a handsome man had paused by the shelf.
Details
10
16 717 Doubtless the woman would do anything to be off the shelf, to be out of the weighty collar.
Details
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.
Details
10
16 726 Little attention was being bestowed upon the shelf.
Details
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.
Details
10
16 787 Ellen looked to the left and right, on the surface of the shelf.
Details
10
16 804 Ellen shrank back, away from the front of the shelf.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
16 818 Instantly Ellen, and the other girls on the shelf, frightened, went to first obeisance position.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
16 894 "Forgive us, Mistresses," said the girls on the shelf.
Details
10
16 896 "You will now, in order, shelf-girls," said the guardsman, "acknowledge your inferiority to our charges".
Details
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.
Details
10
16 903 She was inferior to, and much less than, any of the four neck-chained beauties who stood before the shelf.
Details
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.
Details
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...
Details
10
16 935 Indeed, two torches had even been lit on the building behind the shelf, one rather at each end.
Details
10
16 958 It is my impression that you have been listless on the shelf, save perhaps when some handsome fellow strolled by.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
16 1006 "Be silent, shelf girl," said the girl to Ellen's left.
Details
10
16 1021 "She is Cichek, she is Emris, and she is Jasmine," said Cotina, indicating the other girls on the shelf.
Details
10
16 1081 "But we find ourselves chained on a shelf," said Cotina.
Details
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.
Details
10
16 1088 She did not want to be chained on a public shelf.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
16 1121 She, the whole of her, was chained on a public shelf.
Details
10
16 1125 A tall, broad-shouldered man in scarlet, massively handsome, had approached the shelf.
Details
10
16 1139 "I alone am fair of these on the shelf".
Details
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".
Details
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.
Details
10
16 1240 "I have seen the shelf of Targo last week," he said.
Details
10
16 1242 "Thank you, Master!" said several of the girls on the shelf, elated.
Details
10
16 1247 "Then you want to remain here, in a weight collar, on the shelf?" he said.
Details
10
16 1256 "When will such a man come to the shelf again?" asked Cichek.
Details
10
16 1293 Wriggle! Squirm!" Ellen shrieked with misery and collapsed, sobbing, to the shelf.
Details
10
16 1295 "Ten copper tarsk-bits would be too much for you!" Ellen's body, lying on the shelf, was wracked with sobs.
Details
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...
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
16 1326 "Yes?" said Targo, for another fellow had clambered to the surface of the shelf.
Details
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.
Details
10
16 1362 Ellen, between Lydia and Cichek, descended the shelf steps and, in a moment, entered the building.
Details
10
16 1419 She feared that she, and doubtless the others, had burned on the shelf.
Details
10
17 1 A Barbarian Slave Girl Is Vended It was now Ellen's third day on the shelf.
Details

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.

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.
Details
10
17 45 Targo had come to the shelf, to assist a buyer who was examining Emris.
Details
10
17 51 Not a great deal had gone on, on her second day on the shelf.
Details
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.
Details
10
17 105 Later a small girl had drifted to the front of the shelf.
Details
10
17 114 Targo came about the front of the shelf.
Details
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.
Details
10
17 139 The slaves would be fed, usually, before being brought to the shelf and after being taken from it.
Details
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.
Details
10
17 147 The man and his son ascended to the surface of the shelf.
Details
10
17 233 He and his son then descended from the shelf and went into the crowd.
Details
10
17 276 He then rose to his feet, and left the shelf.
Details
10
17 282 In this arrangement, on her back, on the shelf, above the ground level, the slave's figure is beautifully displayed.
Details
10
17 283 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.
Details
10
17 307 "No, no, Master!" But he had then turned about and left the surface of the shelf.
Details
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.
Details
10
17 317 "So what is wrong with you?" had asked Targo when the prospective buyer had left the shelf.
Details
10
17 333 Then, after a few minutes, he had left the shelf.
Details
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.
Details
10
17 365 The other slaves on the shelf ceased then to attend to Jill and Ellen.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
17 411 He was accompanied doubtless by Varcus, the beast which had leaped to the surface of the shelf.
Details
10
17 486 "We have seen you on the shelf".
Details
10
17 541 Then, again, in the heat, in her chains, on the hardness of the shelf, she fell asleep.
Details
10
17 785 She was scarcely aware that the man had left her side, and that Targo, too, was no longer on the shelf.
Details
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, ...
Details
10
17 817 Had Targo's women been permitted slave cosmetics, they would have run about their lips and eyes, and stained the shelf.
Details
10
17 831 The water on the shelf became warm and began to steam upward in the heat.
Details
10
17 868 * * * * It was now Ellen's third day on the shelf.
Details
10
17 869 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.
Details
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.
Details
10
17 982 A silence came over the men near the shelf.
Details
10
17 1007 "Then return her to the shelf, hooded, her hands tied behind her back".
Details
10
17 1110 You had me sold as a low slave, from a common shelf, in a poor market, Mirus, she thought.
Details
10
18 129 That had been established even before she had been purchased from the shelf of Targo.
Details
10
18 355 What could she expect, here? She had not even been the best meat on Targo's shelf.
Details
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.
Details
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.
Details
10
19 625 In two markets, she saw slaves, some exhibited on a shelf, as she had been, others in small cages.
Details
10
20 996 Had she not seen herself in mirrors? But very beautiful—and by Gorean standards? Surely she could not have so changed, from the shelf of Targo in Ar.
Details
10
20 1004 Could they resent me, perhaps for my beauty? Might they be jealous of me? Could I have changed so much, from the shelf of Targo? But beauty was for the men to decide.
Details
10
22 90 Slave girls, when permitted tunics and permitted to sit, as on a log, a rock, a shelf, commonly sit thusly.
Details
10
22 477 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.
Details
10
24 307 Ellen had been sold from the shelf of Targo without the benefit of cosmetics, of course.
Details
10
27 246 Someone wants me! Someone thinks I am of interest! Indeed, it had been Portus Canio who had bought her off the shelf of Targo in Ar, in the Kettle Market! She stole a glance at Selius Arconious.
Details
10
27 378 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.
Details
10
27 1340 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,...
Details
10
27 1492 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.
