At least we were all laughing
again, which we hadn't done for
some time.
Despite our elaborate irrever-
ence, there was no denying that
the prayer had made us feel bet
ter. Gene. who had more piety in
his nature than either Tony or 1,
took evident satisfaction His mind
now was obviously clean of worries
or self-reproaches.
For time we made a game of
flinging handfuls of salt water on
each other to cool our chatting
bodies, but soon in the quivering
heat we again fell silent. and vel
