Some of the free women may have taken custody of a female slave in order to use her to distract Cosians, or to barter with them, perhaps thinking to prevail upon them to accept the slave as a substitute for themselves, thereby securing their own freedom. - (Renegades of Gor, Chapter 18, Sentence #310)

Whereas most of the slave girls in the crowd, recognizable by the brevity of their tunics and collars, in their terror and confusion, were simply fleeing, intermingled with the free persons, some, like the former Lady Publia, were well in the custody of free women. Certainly she was not the only slave being leashed or herded by a free woman. I wondered about this, but supposed the motivations might have been multifarious. Some of the free women may have taken custody of a female slave in order to use her to distract Cosians, or to barter with them, perhaps thinking to prevail upon them to accept the slave as a substitute for themselves, thereby securing their own freedom. On the other hand, the slave does have value and if one is in desperate need of coins, she may be sold. Why should one not seize one if it is convenient to do so? Others may not have wanted the slaves to fall into the hands of the hated Cosians, simply to deprive them of this loot, or perhaps, more, to deny to them the inordinate rewards and pleasures which accrue to a male from the ownership of a female slave. Or perhaps it was simply a matter of taking possessions along with one, as one might, similarly, attempt to preserve one's livestock, as one might, in flight, say, herd verr or tarsks before one. - (Renegades of Gor, Chapter 18)
