That's not what I'm asking you at all, but who is your own master?
Gossoon.
My mistress's husband, a man as good as you'd get from here to himself.
Minister.
You don't understand me yet. Who is your mistress—perhaps you understand that?
Gossoon.
I understand you well. She is my master's wife. Everyone knows that.
Minister.
You're a wise little boy; and it's as good for me to let you be, but tell me do you know where Patrick O'Donnell is living?
Gossoon.
