   Maybe.  Maybe your "living Master" was a "living master".  A true Master   
   would not get frazzled enough to reply as he did.  Unless of course the two   
   of you together had worked out a private vocabulary so that his words meant   
   something besides what they appear to say.  Or, there's the ever-popular   
   alternative, I'm nuts.
