yep yep you got it hopa, here is the quote
What is that sound from within your cloak?" I asked.
"Nothing," he said.
"Show me," I said. I turned. He held open the side of the
cloak, it then like a curtain between me and the city. The
parapet was at my back.
There, held by a snap catch against the silken lining of the
great cloak, looped, in coils, there hung a set of light chains.
I could not determine the exact arrangement of the chains,
coiled as they were. There seemed, however, to be a longer
chain, which was a base chain, and two smaller, subsidiary
chains. At one end the base chain was attached to a rather
small neck ring, but suitable for closing about a woman's
neck; at the other end it was attached to one of the subsidi-
ary chains, about a foot long, and terminating on each end
with a ring; those rings looked as though they might fit
nugly about a woman's ankles; the other subsidiary chain
seemed to be placed about two feet or so below the, neck
ring; at its terminations were smaller rings, which looked as
though they might close snugly, locking, about a woman's
wrists.
"What is that?" I asked.
"It is called a sirik," he said.
"Do men carry such things?" I asked.
"Sometimes," he said.
I wondered what chains like that would feel like on my
body. They looked very graceful. They were doubtless flatter-
ing. Too, they would hold me quite well.
"Let us descend from the wall," said Drusus Rencius. "Let
us return to the palace."
