Greetings,
Well, it seems your friend is sadly mistaken. I found several references to Free Women blushing in public. And no indication that this, somehow, made them slaves or was the act of a slave. In fact, in every reference, no such comment was made.
I wish you well,
Fogaban
Then, to my amazement, the daughter of the Ubar spoke. "He tells the truth."
The officer regarded her calmly, and she blushed, realizing her body was no longer sacred in his sight, no longer protected by the power of the Ubar.

Behind me down the stairs came Kron and Andreas, followed by Lara and Linna.
I wondered what impression the Kal-da shop would have on the true Tatrix of Tharna.
Kron seized my arm and guided me to a table near the center of the room. Holding Lara by the hand I followed him. Her eyes were stunned but like a child's were wide with curiosity. She had not known the men of Tharna could be like this.
From time to time as one of them regarded her too boldly she dropped her head and blushed.
At last I sat cross-legged behind the low table and Lara, in the fashion of the Gorean woman, knelt beside me, resting on her heels.

"Remove the collar," I told her.
"Please, Jason," she said.
"Remove it," I said.
Blushing she allowed her robes to fall about her hips and, with two hands, holding the collar with her left and inserting the key with her right, she removed it from my throat.

The Waniyanpi could not take their eyes from her. She lowered her head, timidly, blushing, startled at suddenly finding herself the object of this attention. The Lady Mira of Venna, the free woman, I speculated, had never found herself looked upon in this fashion, with such awe, with such desire and admiration, with such rapture and pleasure. But then she was not a slave.

"You are a beautiful young woman," I said.
She blushed, even with the wind against her face.
"Perhaps you should hope, and desperately," I said, "that you never fall slave."

The Lady Temione blushed, hotly.

She blushed, totally, from the roots of her hair to her toes. "Please do not look at me so!" she said.
I continued to regard her, feeling much pleasure.
"Please!" she said.
She was quite pretty. She was pretty enough even to be a slave.

"How then shall I see that you are not branded?" I asked.
"Look then," she moaned.
She blushed, again scrutinized, again with exquisite care. I even lifted up her feet a little, as if to see if she might be branded on the instep.

"'Interesting'?" she asked.
"Yes," I said, "you bargain with your beauty."
"Of course," she said.
"But then it seems you have little more to bargain with."
She blushed, again, even to her toes.

"Cornelia, Lady of Ar," said the scribe.
"Do not bare me to men, I beg you," said the woman to Talena, clutching the robe about her.
Talena consulted a list held by a scribe near her. It was not one of the copies of the master list, so to speak, which contained the full list of names.
"Please," begged the woman.
Talena looked up from the list. "Strip her," she said.
The woman cried out with anguish as the single garment was removed from her. She put down her head. She blushed, totally, from the roots of her hair to her toes.
