Certainly the work came back well-aired, clean-smelling, bright with sunlight, pressed and folded. - (Prize of Gor, Chapter 12, Sentence #31)

High-caste women, in general, or those of the Merchants, she supposed, would not do their own laundry either, but they might have a slave, or slaves, in their own domiciles to attend to such work.

Certainly on such as she the laundry lost little money. - (Prize of Gor)
