| 46 | 23 | I had been profoundly alarmed. |
| 46 | 24 | I must run! I must escape! And now I had run, and had escaped. |
| 46 | 25 | Surely I must be overjoyed. |
| 46 | 26 | Was I not now safe? Yet, strangely, I did not feel elated. |
| 46 | 27 | How pleased I should be that I had escaped from the brute I hated, and now so terribly feared, but, too, strangely, and piercingly, I felt alone and incomplete, even lost, with each step, apart from him, apart from his attention, his size, power, and presence, almost as might, I supposed, a kajira separated from her master. |

Had I not sensed such things before, of this callous, uncompromising, dominant brute, many times?

How I hated him, but even on Earth I had sensed, in the profound female of me, that I belonged in a man's collar. |
