In the tavern merchants may conduct business over a drink; mariners may regale rapt auditors with accounts of fabulous voyages; slavers may confer on sales and projected raids; at another table, a scribe may sit, ready to write or read letters. The Golden Chain, like most such establishments, opened at noon, the tenth ahn, and remained open until the early morning. Commonly between the tenth and the twelfth ahn restraint, quiet, leisure, and socialization characterized the Golden Chain. After the twelfth ahn, or so, the tavern starts, gradually, to become quite different. It is roughly at that time that many markets and shops close, that work crews are dismissed, that passes are issued, that shifts change, and that many men, their day's work finished, look forward to refreshment and diversion. By the eighteenth ahn, the Golden Chain is crowded. It is easily accessed by means of several streets and canals. - (Quarry of Gor, Chapter )
