The narrator complains that the servants didn't inform him of his arrival. He feels uneasy because he's not part of the royal family. He wonders if there's any magic in the world, and wonders how a baron can perform a ritual that a peasant can't perform. He also wonders if a stork delivers an offspring, and how a child is born. The narrator wonders if it's proper for a peasant to teach a drunk how to deal with a drunk. He asks the peasant to tell him the difference between an angel and a peasant. The peasant, he says, doesn't know how to use magic, and the baron is a man who is supposed to be a ruler. The baron, he tells the peasant, is a person who has been trained to do wrong, and that's why he shouldn't be allowed to do anything wrong. He's also worried about the underwear in the brothel, which spills her guts when she drinks, and about the king's guards, who are executed if they fail to do their duty. He wants to know if the duke is uncomfortable to bathe with him, and if she's lost her mind. The conversation turns to the fact that the peasant is a chattel, which means that he has the same rights as any other human being. The peasants, he argues, don't have such rights, because they've lost them by placing other humans above them. He says that if he gets punished by the others, he'll tell them that he was coerced by them.
