After Beth found me, and after I  
finished the 15th, I went looking for  
him, but first tasted some of his      
cooking, and Beth was right as usual.  
     It was fantabulous.               
     It took me more than a couple     
minutes, but I finally found him out in
the barn, eating with the bunnies. I   
ordered him back into the house.       
     “If I’m the Master, why aren’t you
listening to me?”                      
     “I have to warn you, sir, that I  
learned how to box in the states,” he  
said, while taking a boxing stance.    
     “You are in the states, dumbass,” 
I said and laughed. I then turned to go
back in but stopped and turned to make 
one final plea.                        
     “I could still use some advice, if
you’re up for it?”                     
*      “Is it about the Cat?”              
     “Yup.”                            
     “Give me a minute. I think I've   
fallen in love with one of your bunnies
here. Are these the ones?” He said     
while petting Grunt. I had told every- 
one at the last meeting about them.    
     “Yup. How long do bunnies live? Do
you know?”                             
     “That's a good question. You      
should look it up.”                    
     I continued to the house, saying  
over my shoulder, “I should, shouldn't 
I.”                                    
     Looking something up usually meant
that I’d pretend to forget, until I was
bored out of my skull. Then, I’d do it,
if I hadn’t really forgotten by then.
