What can I say in response to that? "Well, Master, perhaps a little foolishness, I hope."
"You know the risk you take if you displease me with your foolishness, Pet. And I don't expect that you want to be kept from the comfort of the bed because you just had to talk back once too often."
I can see where we are headed now, a cabin with a large porch, curtains on the windows and judging by the smoke rising from the chimney, a fire already in place. "Who laid the fire, Master?" "I have someone who comes in once in a while. She won't be here again until we are gone, so you will be in charge of making sure the place stays livable for at least several days. Can you do that for your Master?"
Oh, boy. You know I'm the world's worst housekeeper. But if it will make you happy... "I will do my very best, Master." "I know you will, because if you don't, well, I still own that belt."
