" ‘Why are there so few slaves among the wagons?’ I asked. " ‘The free women
kill them,’ said Hurtha." "She was exactly the sort of female which, in her
helplessness and collar, in her vulnerability and brief tunic, tends to inspire
jealous hatred, sometimes bordering almost on madness, in free women,
particularly homely and sexually frustrated ones." ~ Dancer, pg. 50
I saw that she was terribly jealous of the attention which men might bestow upon
the slave, but how could that be, for she was, by her account, infinitely
superior of the slave, and she was free? ~ Renegades, pg. 84
