Zedekiah

Thou speakest falsely. No boy could conceive such a deed for himself.

Baruch

I swear to thee that I did it unadvised. He knew naught of it, neither commanded it nor approved.

Zedekiah

He? Who is he of whose orders thou speakest?

Baruch

[Evasively] My teacher, my master.

Zedekiah

Who is thy master, who? I would know who issues commands to the boys of this city.
