“So are we all at times, Chips. Speaking of a Knight’s code of honor, our Den should have one. Any suggestions?”

“An excellent safety rule, Red. I think, though, we may find others which fit in a little better with knighthood.”
“Knights did a lot of fighting,” Midge said reflectively.
“Which leads us to this thought,” suggested Mrs. Hatfield. “Be prepared always to fight in defense of right, or your own country.”
“How about doing good for others?” proposed Brad.
