| 12 | 196 | At a signal from Ho-Tu the guard carried Virginia to the branding rack and placed her in the rack, spinning the lever that locked her thigh in place. |
| 12 | 197 | She said nothing but stood there, wrists braceleted behind her back, locked in place, watching the approach of the iron, observing the graceful, white-hot character at the iron's termination; she screamed uncontrollably when the iron marked her, firmly, decisively for about three Ihn; and then she sobbed, beside herself, while the guard spun the lever releasing her; he lifted her from the rack and put her on the stones at the feet of Ho-Tu and Flaminius; Phyllis' eyes were wild with fear, but she, like Virginia, did not so much as whimper as the guard lifted her, carried her to the rack and locked her in place. |
| 12 | 198 | "We still do hand branding," said Ho-Tu to me. |
| 12 | 199 | "Mechanical devices brand too uniformly. |
| 12 | 200 | Buyers like a hand-branded girl. |
| 12 | 201 | Besides it is better for a female slave to be branded by a man; it makes them better slaves. |

At a signal from Ho-Tu the guard carried Virginia to the branding rack and placed her in the rack, spinning the lever that locked her thigh in place.
She said nothing but stood there, wrists braceleted behind her back, locked in place, watching the approach of the iron, observing the graceful, white-hot character at the iron's termination; she screamed uncontrollably when the iron marked her, firmly, decisively for about three Ihn; and then she sobbed, beside herself, while the guard spun the lever releasing her; he lifted her from the rack and put her on the stones at the feet of Ho-Tu and Flaminius; Phyllis' eyes were wild with fear, but she, like Virginia, did not so much as whimper as the guard lifted her, carried her to the rack and locked her in place.
"We still do hand branding," said Ho-Tu to me.
"Mechanical devices brand too uniformly.
Buyers like a hand-branded girl.
Besides it is better for a female slave to be branded by a man; it makes them better slaves.
The rack, however, is a useful device, preventing a blurred brand".
