At the moment in the show where Firebrand, the Pirate Chief, pointed at his black flag and said, "I am a Yale graduate — note my Skull and Bones!" — at this very moment the six vagabonds were instructed to rise conspicuously and leave the theatre with looks of deep melancholy and an injured dignity.
