Dinner over, Joe proposed a toast of "the folks at home." The boys
drank it silently. Then Bob Haines rose and raised his glass.
"Let us drink to the luck of the Brighton lot," he said. "May it
never entirely desert us."
As they rose and raised their glasses Dicky Mann added: "May we
always be ready to give that luck a fighting chance."
Six strong right hands reached forth to grasp another of the six.
Six pairs of bright eyes flashed as each caught an answering flash
somewhere round the circle. Six hearts beat with the same stout
determination as Joe Little voiced their united sentiments when he
said in a low tone, "Amen to that. We will."
