"Dan tiba-tiba Marcus mendapati budak jarang bersiul. Mereka mungkin bernyanyi, jika mereka suka atau jika ritme membantu pekerjaan mereka, tetapi bersiul dengan cara yang berbeda; Butuh orang bebas untuk membuat suara yang dibuat Esca."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

And it came to Marcus suddenly that slaves very seldom whistled. They might sing, if they felt like it or if the rhythm helped their work, but whistling was in some way different; it took a free man to make the sort of noise Esca was making.
