Meg gets it in, Keith has to drink.

Accepting a coin from Victoria, Meg cleared her throat and bounced it toward the glass.

Plop! The coin dropped square into the class.

"Drink up, Keith!" Meg said. "Gotta equalize your size advantage." Next to Keith, the women, even queen-size Victoria and Meg, looked a little small.

"Your health!" Keith said, and drank up.

"What kind of toast is that for a drinking game?" asked Meg. "Nothing naughty at all about that!"

"How are we going to know when to ease up on him?" Victoria said. "It's not like his nose is going to turn red."

Ginny laughed. "You'll know. He gets pretty silly. But I reserve the right to pull him out once he's had enough."

"Whyever so?" teased Meg. "I like silly men."

Ginny smiled, and turned a little pink. "You know, in case we have plans for later tonight," she said.

"We?" Meg said. "I like that idea." She smiled broadly at Ginny and Keith.

Ginny laughed.

Victoria was next after Meg. She took a deep breath and tossed a coin toward the glass.

Ting-plash! The coin bounced off the rim.

"Oops, one against the visitors," she said. "Here's looking up your skirts and kilts!" she toasted, and drank.

"That was quite a mild toast, Vic," Trish said, looking at Victoria over her amber teardrop glasses. "Saving up your good ones?"

"Oh, please," Victoria said. Her red coral earrings jiggled as she politely stifled a burp. "Next?"

Sabrina took a coin, looking uncertainly at Victoria to one side and Trish to the other. She prepared to cast it toward the glass.
