Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour brought to you by pain We told our doctor

00:08

we broke our arms in several places He just told

00:11

us to not go to those places anymore All right

00:14

well douglas douglas Yep we read this were skimming because

00:17

we read it a bunch right people He did because

00:20

we do our homework around here ok and we're done

00:24

Master thomas tells douglas he will spare no pains to

00:28

catch him if he escapes in order to uh what

00:32

And here the essential answers From a lot of left

00:37

Probably not Okay Well first thing to clear up here

00:40

is what the expression spare no pains means it's a

00:46

little old timey but it's not that mysterious Basically replace

00:49

it with stop it Nothing and we're good to go

00:52

Knowing this fact lets us not choice Deal right off

00:55

the list Even though master thomas will probably try to

00:58

cause douglas pain if he escapes because master tea is

01:02

just that kind of guy Real message here doesn't have

01:04

anything to do with actual physical pain So yeah we've

01:09

mixed This also goes for pain on master thomas part

01:12

So will eliminate option a as well Sure master thomas

01:16

will have to suffer through all the excruciating pains of

01:19

doing stuff for himself But that's not the point here

01:22

We can also get rid of answer c well it's

01:25

clear that master thomas relies on douglas and his very

01:28

very cheap labor nonunion This has nothing to do with

01:32

the expression Spare no pains Right answer is being master

01:36

Thomas tells douglas that he'll do anything to get douglas

01:39

back If the slave runs away the master tea is

01:42

basically trying to convince douglas That escape is impossible and

01:46

the douglas should be happy as a slave They just

01:49

don't make them like that master thomas anymore do they
