Summary: He can hear the irritation in Launcelot's reply.
Notes: Old Gobbo isn't THAT blind, is he? IS he?
Old Gobbo may be blind, but he is not stupid. He knows this is his son in front of him, with his fancy "Master Launcelot"s and his slippery words. Old Gobbo is proud of himself for his comparison of his son to a staff, and he can hear the irritation in Launcelot's reply. Does he think that he is the only one who can play tricks, who can act? Launcelot is dead, Launcelot himself informs Old Gobbo. No, he thinks as he dissolves into false sorrow, Launcelot is not dead; he is just hiding in plain sight.
