"She carried a tray, on which were various sthingys and sugars. She knelt, placing her tray upon the table. With a tiny sthingy, its tip no more than a tenth of a hort in diameter, she placed four measures of white sugar, and six of yellow, in the cup; with two stirring sthingys, one for the white sugar, another for the yellow, she stirred the beverage after each measure. She then held the cup to the side of her cheek, testing its temperature; Ibn Saran glanced at her; she, looking at him, timidly kissed the side of the cup and placed it before him. Then, head down, she withdrew." page 89,Tribesmen of Gor
