Chapter 4: The Appraisals.

Alighting from his rickshaw, Andy is approached by a middle-aged slave who bows deeply before speaking.

“Good morning, Sir. How might I help you?”

This slave is obviously of some importance as he wears a loincloth and is, in fact, the chief steward of the establishment.

“I wish to speak to your master. I have three slaves I want appraised and valued.” Andy replies.

“Certainly, Sir. I’ll take you to my master immediately. Can I tell him who is asking for him?”

“Yes. My name is Andrew Trevorrow. I believe your master will remember me as I have had dealings with him in the past.

“Thank you, Sir. Can I ask Sir; are these the slaves you wish my master to look at?”  He asks pointing to the three slaves. “If so, I suggest that your overseer take them through that gate,” the slave indicates a small wooden gate in set in one of the walls, “into the inspection yard. “There is a slave in the yard who will prepare them for my master’s inspection.”

Andy nods in agreement and instructs Toby to lead the slaves into the yard and to assist in getting them ready.

“Thank you, Sir. Now if you will come with me,” the slave invites Andy, “I’ll take you to my master. I’m sure he will offer you the hospitality of his house whilst your slaves are made ready. Oh, one other thing, do you want me to have your pony watered?'

“Yes, please. He has travelled a long way and will have to make the return trip in the full heat of the day.”

“As soon as I have taken you to my master, I’ll send a slave to water him and to help him piss.

As Andy and the steward disappear into the building, Toby leads his charges through the gate and into a small, dusty yard. Running down the centre of the yard are a number of poles with varying lengths of heavy chains attached. He is approached by a slave who is naked except for a heavy collar around his neck and who asks Toby

“Can I help you?”

“Yes, my master has brought these slaves in for pre-sale appraisals.” Toby answers. “At the moment he is with your master and I was instructed to bring the slaves here and get them ready. What needs to be done?”

“That’s simple.” The slave replies. “All that needs to be done is to unshackle them and chain each of them to one of those poles. So, if you remove their ankle chains and unlock their collars from the chain, I’ll take it from there. Well soon have them ready.”

As Toby frees the first slave from his fellows, the yard slave quickly locks the slave’s wrists to the back of his neck collar and fastens his collar to one of the chains attached to a post. He then instructs the slave to kneel and assume the display position; feet together, knees apart, back held rigidly straight and his head bowed. The remaining two slaves are quickly dealt with in a similar manner and chained to their respective posts. Now the three slaves kneel in a row and await the arrival of their master and the slave-dealer.

As they kneel in the dust of the courtyard the slaves are suddenly aware of the approach of their master and another, expensively but gaudily, dressed man. This man is middle-aged, squat, and fat and is sweating profusely; both his balding head and the shirt under his armpits are wet with perspiration. He speaks with a wheeze not helped by the cigar he is smoking. The slaves note the short, leather whip clipped to his belt.

Wordlessly, he slowly circles the kneeling slaves, several times, before speaking to Andy

 “I compliment you on the quality of your livestock, Mr Trevorrow. Top quality slaves and they present well. With your permission I’ll examine them in more detail before I give you an estimate on their worth.”

“Please do.” Andy replies “That’s why they’re here."

“What about the older slave?” The dealer asks indicating Toby. “Do you want him appraised too?”

“No, that won’t be necessary. He’s my steward. He’s not for sale.”

“I don’t mind that he’s not for sale. I’m happy to do him with the others. It’ll be an obligation free valuation – courtesy of the house, so to speak. It’ll give you some idea of his current value; something all owners need to know about their livestock.”

Andy notices the momentary flicker of shock in Toby’s eyes at the prospect of being subjected to the dealer’s examination. Frowning, he decides to accept Matheson’s offer.  He reflects that Toby, from time to time, needs to be reminded that he is a slave and that his special relationship with his master doesn’t disqualify him from being treated as one.

“Thank you, Mr Matheson, for your generous offer and I accept.” Andy responds as Toby trembles

 “Slave, kneel by that pole.” The dealer instructs Toby.

Toby looks imploringly at his beloved master but is ignored. He knows he hasn’t any choice other than to obey. He removes his loincloth and kneels alongside an empty pole in line with the other three slaves.

“Chain him up!” Matheson commands the yard slave who hastens to obey his master’s order. Turning once more to Toby he barks “Assume the display position”. Toby does as instructed as his collar is chained to a post. Now he is left to wait.

Then, unclipping his whip, Matheson snaps it at one of the blond slaves and orders him ‘stand and display’.

Fearfully the slave scrambles to his feet and submits to the dealer’s scrutiny. Matheson unfastens the slave’s wrists from his collar and slowly moves his hands over the slave, expertly gauging the muscle tone and strength of the young body. He notes the slave’s favourable responses to the manipulation of his nipples and the inspection of the navel. Next he cups the slave’s balls in one hand and ‘jiggles’ them up and down as if to test their weight. With the other hand he strokes the cock. He is pleased at the slave’s instant response and smiles as it begins to lengthen. Almost lovingly, he strokes the slave to a full erection.

He now raps out the command to ‘turn around’ and begins an examination of the slave’s shoulders and back. He pays particular attention to the slave’s muscular arse and squeezes both buttocks, testing them for firmness. Then his hands travel down the outside of the slave’s legs and back up the inside to the thighs. Kicking the slave’s ankles apart he orders ‘bend and spread’. Fearfully the slave hastens to obey. As his balls are pulled down and away from his body, the slave gasps and squirms. He is rewarded with two, loud, open-handed slaps to his buttocks with the shouted command to “STEADY! STAND STILL!”  Then the slave feels a finger circling his stretched and exposed hole; he shudders at the unexpected pleasure this causes him. He feels the dealer’s finger thrusting into him and soon this is joined by a second finger.  The slave’s cock is now rampantly hard, and looking back between his legs, he sees a thread of pre-cum slowly working its way downwards from his cock-head to the ground. Then, as suddenly as they had entered him, the fingers are withdrawn. With a slap on the arse, he is ordered to ‘stand, face the front and display.’

Acting under his master’s instructions, the yard slave now begins to masturbate the slave. Already aroused, the slave quickly responds and is soon ejaculating into a glass container held over the tip of his cock. The dealer watches, with interest, the powerful thrusting of the slave’s hips as he pumps out his sperm. Once finished the yard slave hands the glass container to his master who examines the semen by touch, smell and taste. Declaring his satisfaction, he orders the slave to ‘kneel and display’. Once the slave is on his knees, Matheson runs his hands over his cropped head before examining the ears, eyes, nose and mouth. Ordered to open his mouth the slave receives a slap to the side of his head and the order to ‘open wider’. Then, as the final part of his appraisal, the slave’s tongue and teeth are examined.

Finally satisfied, the dealer declares. “He’s in excellent condition, Mr Trevorrow.”

Now he turns his attention to the black-haired slave and the order is given for him to ‘stand and display’.

Soon the remaining two slaves and Toby are deal with in a similar manner to the first slave and Matheson declares the appraisals finished and invites Andy to return to his office.

“I suggest we return to my office to discuss your options. Usually, I don’t discuss an impending sale in front of a slave; it can unsettle him too much. It’s much better if your slaves don’t overhear our discussions on their futures.”
