Posture

“Stop,” he said.
I did.
He came behind me and, lifting the shirt some inches, tucked it into the binding fiber that was knotted about my waist. He wanted to see more of my legs.
“Continue,” he said. He pressed me forward again with the flat of his foot. I stumbled forward, and was now again walking before him.
“Posture,” he said.
And so I walked well, as he wished, before him.  CAPTIVE OF GOR; 7; Pages 185-186

I regarded the slave girls, standing in the sand, in coffle, their wrists behind their backs, bound. They stood very still. They stood very straight. Their heads were very high. I had commanded them to stand so.
I regarded the silks, thrust through the tethers on their necks.
I walked about them. They were beautiful.
“You were party,” I told them, “ to a plot, in which my camp fell and my men, and certain slaves, were taken. I am not pleased. You were instrumental in the success of the plans of my enemies. Without you, their plans could not have been successful.”
“Have mercy on us, Master,” whispered one of the girls.
“Posture,” I snapped.
The girls stood perfectly.  HUNTERS OF GOR; 8; Page 186

“Yet,” said I, “you were not completely honest with me. Accordingly, you will be punished.”
“Master?” she asked.
“You will be sold in Port Kar,” I said.
The girl groaned. The others looked fearfully at one another.
“Posture!” I snapped.
The girls again stood, backs straight, heads high. They were very beautiful. In the eyes of Ilene, of Earth, there were tears. She knew that she would be punished. She had not been completely open to her master. It was in Port Kar that she would ascend the block.  HUNTERS OF GOR; 8; Page 188

“Posture!” cried the red-haired girl, with her switch. She struck two of the girls with stinging stripes.
Then the captive panther girls, fearing her, stood well. Their backs were straight, their heads were high. Their trim ankles were together. Their shoulders were back, their bellies flat and tight.
“You are of the warriors,” said the blond girl in the ankle ring looking straight ahead.  HUNTERS OF GOR; 8; Page 210
