| 20 | 191 | "A true Priest-King," said Mul-Al-Ka. |
| 20 | 192 | I smiled to myself, for I thought how incredible that I should find myself naturally and without a second thought considering going to the rescue of the worthless, vicious wench, Vika of Treve. |
| 20 | 193 | And yet it was not a strange thing, particularly not on Gor, where bravery is highly esteemed and to save a female's life is in effect to win title to it, for it is the option of a Gorean male to enslave any woman whose life he has saved, a right which is seldom denied even by the citizens of the girl's city or her family. |
| 20 | 194 | Indeed, there have been cases in which a girl's brothers have had her clad as a slave, bound in slave bracelets, and handed over to her rescuer, in order that the honor of the family and her city not be besmirched. |
| 20 | 195 | There is, of course, a natural tendency in the rescued female to feel and demonstrate great gratitude to the man who has saved her life, and the Gorean custom is perhaps no more than an institutionalization of this customary response. |
| 20 | 196 | There are cases where a free woman in the vicinity of a man she desired has deliberately placed herself in jeopardy. |
| 20 | 197 | The man then, after having been forced to risk his life, is seldom in a mood to use the girl other than as his slave. |
