Before long, washed and refreshed, the winners were seated at the table, two on each side, while at either end sat Melania and the Donald. It was a long and merry meal. Though the winners ate, as only famished winners can eat, there was no lack.

The guests became suddenly aware that they were singing merrily, as if it was easier and more natural than talking.
