Forget that bit about "morally straight"--and as for "law"...Trustworthy: not on your life; Loyal: Hah; Helpful: to ourselves; Friendly: in a way; Courteous: if by that you mean catching flies with honey; Kind: Happy Meal's on me; Obedient: yes, you will be; Cheerful: you bet; Thrifty: hey, it's cheaper than real dating; Brave: it's useful if they think that; Clean: that should wash off; and Reverent: Oh God, YESSS!
