Dos confessed a lot of things to Padoke, because he knew Padoke would not repeat whatever to anyone.
When I was about ten, some kidz from up the street, told me that everything in the entire universe has a predetermined outcome. They went to a different school and so I assumed they knew what they was talking about. Also, they did not use the word predetermined, but that is what they meant.
They said, everything you say and do has been worked out beforehand, by the God. Therefore, sit back and relax and enjoy the show as best you can. Whenever you get confronted about anything you say or do, deny all responsibility, especially if it looks bad. As long as the authorities are aware that you were simply carrying out your role in the predetermined course of the universe, they will nod and let you move on.
Unfortunately for me this has not been the case. Whenever I get confronted by the authorities, they never believe a word I say. I must have gone to the wrong school.
