| 408 | This is a comment on one Q&A referring to whether slaves kneel different before free women.
You comment:
"...a slave should kneel before a free woman with her knees together and before a male with her knees wide. If both are present then the slave kneels with her knees apart unless in direct service to the free woman."
I would disagree indicating she is to kneel in tower IF A FREE WOMAN IS PRESENT (in RP, that would be same scene); and present the following quotes to support this:
"Your knees!" said the Lady Bina.
"Mistress?" said the slave.
"Should they not be spread?"
"She is in the presence of a free woman," said Cabot. "It is
thus appropriate that she kneels in the Tower position."
Kur of Gor, pg. 526
And the quote you actually present there from Magicians pg. 361
""'Is that how you kneel before a free woman?' she asked. "'Forgive me, Mistress? I wept. 'The guards were about.'"
"'They are not about now," she said, 'and even if they were, it is I who am Mistress here, not they.'"
Answer
Alright, fair enough. I appreciate your research.
It is difficult, if not impossible, to find hard fast rules for every occasion.
