Additional Note

Second slave: Referring to the serving of black wine, "second slave"

from the fact that the sugar and milk are placed in the cup by one slave
before a second slave fills the cup with blackwine.

On the subject of Ice

"My house, incidentally, like most Gorean houses, had no ice chest.
There is little cold storage on Gor. Generally food is preserved by being
dried or salted. Some cold storage, of course, does exist. Ice is cut from
ponds in the winter, and then stored in ice houses, under sawdust.
One may go to the ice houses for it, or have it delivered in ice wagons.
Most Goreans, of course, cannot afford the luxury of ice in the summer."
"Guardsman of Gor" p. 295
