Gentlemen, to we few. We who have shared each other's company, each other's cares, each other's joys, and who shall now reap the fruits of our communal efforts, shoulder to shoulder,
from each according to his abilities, so forth and whatnot. We have had our little differences
along the way, but I'd like to think that they've only made us value one another all the more. Each of us coming to understand and appreciate the other's unique qualities and potencies and, yes, foibles.
I suggest that we shall look back upon this little caper one day, one distant day, grandchildren dandled upon our knee, and perhaps a tear will form and we shall say, "Well, with wit and grit and no small amount of courage, we accomplished something on that day, a feat of derring-do, an enterprise not ignoble."
We merry band, unbound by the constraints of society and the prejudices of the common ruck. We happy few. Gentlemen, to us!
