46
Someone the Master can drop in on unannounced and always find him doing his job. A God-blessed man or woman, I tell you.
47
It won't be long before the Master will put this person in charge of the whole operation.
48
"But if that person only looks out for himself, and the minute the Master is away does what he pleases -
49
abusing the help and throwing drunken parties for his friends -
50
the Master is going to show up when he least expects it
51
and make hash of him. He'll end up in the dump with the hypocrites, out in the cold shivering, teeth chattering.
