‘Slave, who is the master and who is the slave?’
The clue to the answer is clearly in Ms Mukta’s loaded question:
‘Oh pray, Ms Mukta madam, if it pleases you Ms Mukta
madam, YOU are the master, mistress, and I am the slave, madam. I was born a
slave, have lived as a slave, and shall die a slave, madam – YOUR slave,
mistress Mukta madam. I am subject to your whip, miss, and always will be.
Please don’t beat me, madam. I kiss your boots, mistress madam.’
Master Simon sir interjects:
‘Haha, that’s right, slave. Show your slavish respect for
my wife, and your fear of her WHIP, by kissing her boots. Keep your humble head
beneath her socks. You’re just a slave!’
'Yes, master sir. I humbly kiss your wife's boots and subordinate myself to her socks. I fear the mistress's whip, sir!'

‘Oh pray, Ms Mukta madam, if it pleases you Ms Mukta madam, YOU are the master, mistress... |
|
...and I am the slave, madam. I was born a slave, have lived as a slave, and shall die a slave, madam – YOUR slave, mistress Mukta madam.' |
'Haha, that’s right, slave. Show your slavish respect for my wife, and your fear of her WHIP, by kissing her boots.
|
Keep your humble head beneath her socks. You’re just a slave!’ |
|
'Yes, master sir. I humbly kiss your wife's boots and subordinate myself to her socks. I fear the mistress's whip, sir!' |
|
Kiss boots beneath socks... |
|
...and the threat of the WHIP! |
|
Oh how I fear the WHIP'S mighty STING! |
|
All my life I have been subject to the WHIP... |
|
...and shall remain so |
|
The WHIP! |
|
Master Simon sir need have no fear of the WHIP! |
|
And nor must he demean himself by kissing his wife's boots beneath her socks |
|
That's my humble job! |
|
I'm just a whip-fearing, bootkissing slave! |
