Company tunics are given to slaves, "common to many of the different
enterprises of Mintar" He then replaced the whip on the table and handed me, from a basket, two
tunics. They were folded, and washed, and brown. "Thank you, Master," I
said. I held them close to me. I would later discover that they were rather
common slave tunics, brief, with no nether closure. Too, they were
sleeveless, slit at the sides, and with a plunging neckline. On the front
of the left shoulder there was a design, in white and yellow, bearing what
I would later learn was an inscribed "Mu." This was a design, I would later
learn, which was common to many of the different enterprises of Mintar. "Mu"
is the first letter of the name Mintar. White and yellow, or white and gold,
are the colors of the merchants. The tunic had nothing specific to the
mills, of Mill 7. Such a tunic might have been worn by girls laboring or
serving in almost any of his holdings. It was thus, in a broad sense, a
company tunic. I wondered how many girls Mintar owned, or were owned by the
enterprises of Mintar.

I was not now collared. It had been removed from me a few Ehn ago,
before I had been assigned to this line. I had worn it for only a few Ahn.
Outside of Ar we had stopped at the office and holding area of a man
associated with the various enterprises of Mintar, including his mills.
