Peddlers, Caste of Merchants on Gor
On the road from Tabuk’s Ford I could see the cart of Tup Ladletender, the itinerant peddler, he between its handles, bent over, drawing it. Slave Girl "I am Tupelius Milius Lactantius, of the Lactantii, of the merchants, of Ar," he said to me, "but we fell upon hard times, and I, though only eight at the time, fell as well, it being my duty, caste discipline, family pride and such." Slave Girl Pulling handcart with long handles and two large wheels Cart has many shelves and racks, loaded with a variety of cheap basic goods "A peddler," she said, "is in the village." I knew this. His name was Tup Ladletender. Radish had told me this. I had seen his arrival. He drew a handcart. It had long handles, and two large wheels. In the cart were many shelves and racks, on which there was a rich miscellany of cheap goods, and pegs and loops, from which hung many utensils, pans and tools. Drawers in the side of the wagon contained, too, mysteries of goods, such as threads, cloths, scissors, thimbles, buttons and patches, brushes and combs, sugars, herbs, spices, packets of salt, and philtres of medicine. No one knew what all might be contained in that unusual cart. Slave Girl gorean_librarian@yahoo.com
