Here she was interrupted by the slave's indignant exclamation: "What contradictions! 'Woman's hair is long, but her wit is short, says the proverb. 'Waiting is the merchant's wisdom, I have heard your master say more than once, and to obey the words of shrewd people is the best plan for those who are not so wise.
That's ridiculous. A slave's a slave!" "Who'll do the work? And who would they belong to? They'd have to belong to somebody!" "What I want to know," Rovard Javasan made himself heard, is, "how are you going to free them?" There was an ancient word, originating in one of the lost languages of Pre-Atomic Terra sixtifor. It meant, the basic, fundamental, question.
She hastily acted on this idea, locking up not only Dada's sandals, but also Agne's and her own, in the trunk they had saved; a glance at the slave's feet assured her that hers could be of no use. "Not if fire were to break out," thought she, "would my Dada be seen in the streets with those preposterous things on her pretty little feet."

The duchess gave her a solid gold bracelet in the form of a slave's shackle, with the words, "We trust it is a memorial of a chain that is soon to be broken." On one link was the date of the abolition of the slave trade, March 25, 1807, and of slavery in the English territories, Aug. 1, 1834.
