At the far side of the large area, away from the door, near the outer circumference of the circle, was a stone dais, reached by some three steps, on the top of which was a thronelike chair. |

She was on her knees, to the left of the thronelike chair. |
10 |

On the other side of the thronelike chair, lying there, stretched out, indolently, its large, triangular head down on its paws, was one of the six-legged beasts, one such as that I had met on the ledges. |
10 |

It was chained to the right side of the thronelike chair. |
10 |

As the beast was at the right hand of the thronelike chair and the woman only at the left, that signified, in this world, that she was less than it. |

Had I done well enough? Would I be acceptable? Those about the chair looked at its occupant. |

"What do you think of her, my dear Dorna?" asked the man in the chair. |

"Bring some meat," said the occupant of the chair. |
10 |

She handed this to the occupant of the great chair. |

I then suspected, naturally enough, immediately, that perhaps we were both of the "type" in which the personage in the chair might have an interest. |
10 |

The occupant of the chair tossed one of the pieces of meat to the floor. |

The fellow in the chair reached out and I watched his hand, with apprehension. |

The fellow in the chair still held, in the palm of his left hand, some tidbits of meat. |

"You take your food from men," the occupant of the chair informed the proud woman kneeling beside me. |

In order that the matter be lost on no one, the occupant of the chair, of the last three pieces of meat, casting each to the floor of the dais, cast the first to the six-legged beast, which lapped it up instantly with its tongue, scarcely a scrap to such a maw, the second to me and the third to Dorn... |

Dorna, angrily, descended the steps of the dais behind the thronelike chair and went again to the table beneath the roofed defense work. |
10 |

Who needed to look upon her? I stood naked before the dais, and looked up at he who sat in the thronelike chair. |
10 |

I did not look at her, but at the man in the chair. |
10 |

Let Dorna fear then for her place on a chain! I would happily, eagerly, compete with her for the privilege of kneeling before such men! I lifted the wine a little upward and toward the man in the chair. |

"Still," said the fellow in the thronelike chair, "she seems to have learned at least a little about our world, and, for her time here, seems unusually adept at our language. |

I looked up at the man in the chair. |

Dorna, I think, was not unaware of the fact that I fell well within the regard of him in the great chair. |

She showed the collar to the fellow in the chair. |

She then hurried back to the dais and the man in the chair opened the collar and slipped off the keys and string. |
10 |

I looked up at the man in the chair. |
10 |

"She is illiterate," said the man in the chair. |

The man in the chair looked at me. |
10 |

"Is she prepared for collaring?" asked the man in the chair. |

"Tenrik," said the man in the chair. |

"Are you prepared to collar her?" asked the man in the chair. |

"Collar her," said the man in the chair. |
10 |
| 11 | 649 |
"Has she been collared?" asked the man in the chair. |
10 |
| 11 | 652 |
"Kneel," said the man in the chair to me. |
10 |
| 11 | 664 |
Let her remove her collar, if she could! "Can you remove the collar?" asked the man in the chair. |
10 |
| 11 | 760 |
I looked up, through my hair, it muchly before my face now, and my tears, at he in the great chair. |
10 |
| 11 | 773 |
"Tenrik," said the fellow in the chair. |
10 |
| 11 | 789 |
"Permit her to squirm," said the man in the chair. |
10 |

"She is a pretty little thing," said the fellow in the chair. |
10 |
| 11 | 826 |
"Very well," said the man in the chair. |
10 |
| 11 | 837 |
"You find the kajira satisfactory?" asked the man in the chair. |
10 |

"Do you think she will soon reach the point where she is totally helpless?" asked the man in the chair. |
10 |

"Position," said the man in the chair. |
10 |

"Head up," said the man in the chair. |
10 |

Then she was at the left side of the great chair, which it seemed was where she belonged, and there she turned about, and was now facing me, looking down at me. |
10 |
| 11 | 978 |
But she addressed herself to the man in the chair. |
10 |

She turned my head to the right and held it back, exposing the left side of my head to the chair. |
10 |

"Yes," said the man in the chair. |
10 |
| 11 | 991 |
Then she returned both hands to my hair and, still holding it up, over my head, twisted my head to the left, and back, thus exposing now the right side of my head to the chair. |
10 |
| 11 | 994 |
"Yes," said the man in the chair. |
10 |
| 11 | 1010 |
"Yes," smiled the man in the chair, musingly, looking down upon me, with such a look of power, of possessiveness, of mastery and desire, that even held as I was I almost fainted. |
10 |

"Come here," said the man in the chair. |
10 |

He pointed to the floor of the dais, before the chair. |
10 |

"No!" She leaped to her feet and turned about, fleeing, stumbling down the steps of the dais and then, at its foot, half bent over, turned about, facing the man in the chair. |

I suspected that the man in the chair, and certainly the higher officers and guards in the pens, were quite cognizant of most of the pertinent realities of my world of origin. |

10 |
| 11 | 1773 |
"Forgive me! Forgive me, Masters!" "It is enough," announced the man in the chair. |
10 |

10 |
| 11 | 1803 |
"These have been made clear to the Tarsk," said the man in the chair. |
10 |
| 11 | 1805 |
"The Tarsk will see to it that she performs them," said the man in the chair. |
10 |
