Today I have been made master of Belmont, for Bassanio has left to attend the hearing of Antonio, and Portia has left to pray at a monastery only 2 miles away. I think that Jessica and I will have a fond time being the masters of this fine palace, and for once be serve by servants instead of being the servants serving.There is only but one problem, that foolish jester Lancelot. With his horrible pun and twisting of words. But for the while that I am here I shall be his master, not he mine.
