Notes
In company it is rarely needed, since a slave speaks when speech is useful and not otherwise. In private, where many owners let her speak more freely, it is an ordinary word that ends a conversation he is finished with.
What it means in the moment is read from where it lands. Dropped between subjects it is nothing. Dropped mid-sentence it is an interruption, and an interruption is a judgement on what she was saying. A slave who hears it there stops, and usually knows why.
