In my wandering thoughts, I also considered my annoyance with Florian, which went far beyond his reticence to reveal to me even the name of one who was supposedly "interested" in me and his radical and unaccountable disparagement of me and the Golden Chain. - (Quarry of Gor, Chapter 40, Sentence #341)

It must be that of someone far more important. Though the thought alarmed me greatly, I might have been tempted to fear that she might actually be the former Talena of Ar, the fabulous, bitterly sought, widely sought, long-sought, treasonous Ubara of Ar. That possibility, of course, was ruled out as Talena of Ar was now safe on Cos, under the protection of her former ally, Lurius of Jad. In my wandering thoughts, I also considered my annoyance with Florian, which went far beyond his reticence to reveal to me even the name of one who was supposedly "interested" in me and his radical and unaccountable disparagement of me and the Golden Chain. He had also, it seemed reasonably clear, though presumably under orders, made me an unwitting participant in political intrigues I did not understand. When I had been chained and hooded in an alcove of the Golden Chain, he had informed me that Adraste was a peculating thief, the former Lady Julia Leta of Ar, sought by the justice of Ar, and had enlisted me in a project to spy upon her, and alert Ho-Tosk to any unusual or suspicious behaviors, inquiries, contacts, and such, which might involve her. Now I suspected that I had been lied to, given false beliefs not only to mislead me, personally, but beliefs which I, say, under torture or interrogation, might convey to enemies, that they, too, would be misled. - (Quarry of Gor)
