That flunkey was in his master's good graces.

这个奴才深得其主子的赏识。

Why expect flunkey to do their jobs just because you pay them?

为什么期望奴才做他们的工作，仅仅是因为你付了钱呢？

I was admitted by a gorgeous flunkey, and shown into a sumptuous room where a couple of elderly gentlemen were sitting.

一个衣着华丽的仆人把我接了进去，领到一个豪华房间，里头坐着两位上了岁数的绅士。

Because I was king, their master. It would suddenly dawn on me that living among these flunkeys, including my esteemed elders, teachers and friends, I myself, too, was nothing but a mere head flunkey.

因为我是王，是他们的主子，我将恍然大悟：我生活在这些奴才们中间，连我所敬畏的尊长和师友也无一不是奴才，而自己也不过是一个奴才的首领。
