Indeed, I was shortly to be apprised of an exception to this rule, though, at the time, I did not understand that it was an exception. - (Witness of Gor, Chapter 18, Sentence #154)

In some cities, as I understand it, the state involves itself in such matters; for example, in some cities it is a matter of public ordinance that slave tunics may not be longer than a certain amount; this ordinance is presumably motivated not only by a desire to draw a clear distinction between the free woman and the slave, but to distract the attention of the roving tarnsman, the slaver, the commercial girl jobber, and such, from the glorious free woman, directing it to the meaningless slave, whose charms are more easily discerned. Whatever be the case here, it is a matter of fact that "slave strikes" more frequently target slaves than free women. I know this now, but did not realize it at the time. Indeed, I was shortly to be apprised of an exception to this rule, though, at the time, I did not understand that it was an exception. And, in its way, I suppose the exception, as it is said, "proved the rule". In any event, in contrast to the rule, its anomalous character drew a great deal of attention to the very rule it violated. Or would, for those who understood such things. - (Witness of Gor)
