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

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
