Scribe - Gorean

It didn't take long to buy a small pack of supplies to take to Sardar, nor was it difficult to find a scribe I could trust with the story of events in Tharna. I didn't ask his name nor he mine. I knew his caste and he knew mine, and that was enough. He could not read the manuscript as it was written in English, a language as foreign to him as Gorean would be to most of you, but still he would treasure the manuscript and guard it as if it were a very precious possession, for he was a scribe. and it is the custom of scribes to love the written word and protect it from harm, and if he could not read the manuscript, what would it matter perhaps someone else could someday, and then the words that had kept their secret for so long would finally light up the mystery of communication and what had been written would be heard and understood.
