A. That fellow has behaved foolishly!
B. Yes, and the girl also.
A. It was certain that they would be killed when found out.
B. And nothing could prevent the discovery.
A. Our master is extremely indignant.
B. There has not been one person crucified since the present lord succeeded.
A. Although the stewards have assured him that it is the established law of the land, the present master has never given permission for the punishment of criminals by crucifixion and fire. But now he has announced that he will kill them in this manner, and we are commissioned to carry out the disagreeable duty.
B. Even though we refused to obey the command at first and requested him to excuse us he would not listen to our petition.
A. The master must have been very fond of this young girl.
B. Yes. Rumour has it that he became attached to her while the late mistress was still living.
