Answer 1

In the context of serving dinner, Launcelot behaves like a refined jester. Lorenzo asks Launcelot to go indoors and tell the servants to get dinner ready and serve it. Launcelot misunderstands 'prepare for dinner’ as 'prepare themselves for dinner’ and says that they are ready and have good appetite. Further he takes ‘prepare dinner’ for ‘get dinner cooked’. Launcelot inverts the words take, 'meat and bid. He tells Lorenzo that the table shall be 'served' meaning 'laid' and the meat shall be covered' meaning served'. He says as for their coming to dinner, it depends on their mood and fancy and he cannot 'bid' them to do anything.
