"I'm not certain that you wish to know, little mistress," he said.

He knew that his beloved little mistress needed him.

"That's quite all right, little mistress," he said, and his voice was gentle.

"I'd have to go outside the city, but I think you are correct, little mistress," he replied, his eyes warming.

"So now you know the great secret, little mistress."

He had no eyes or ears for anyone but his little mistress now she was sad.

I foretell you now, little mistress, he'll be a great one.

He knew his little mistress was in trouble, and he wanted to be with her.
