A. Master: “If I answer your question, I become menial.”
Commentary:
Don’t blame the master for not answering.
He is soiling himself to answer the question.
What he is worried about is not his becoming menial but your becoming menial.

It would be such a pity if the Master answered.
Better for both if he doesn t speak.
