The panther girl, Sheera, who was leader of this band, sat down in the
warm sand.
"Let us bargain," she said.
She sat cross-legged, like a
man. Her girls formed a semi-circle behind her.
Sheera was a strong,
black-haired wench, with a necklace I of claws and golden chains wrapped
about her neck. Thereo were twisted golden armiets on her bronzed arms.
About her left ankle, threaded, was an anklet of shells. At her belt she
wore a knife sheath. The knife was in her hand, and, as she spoke, she
played with it, and drew in the sand.
