How would you explain the last sentence? The rains have ended. Soon the migrant birds will come back from the north. The Trotskyist Party in the United States continues to send migrants too, a small, steady flow of young men eager to work for Lev. They are good boys with plenty of heart and muscle, put to work mostly as rooftop guards and kitchen help. Socialist Workers, they call their party, and most are from what they call the “Downtown Branch” in New York. Jake and Charlie were first to arrive, with a fat, smuggled envelope of cash, support from the worldwide movement that is well put to use in this household. As was the bottle of brandy they produced in time for Van’s wedding. How would you explain the last sentence: As was the bottle of brandy they produced in time for Van’s wedding? Does it mean that the bottle of brandy was also the support from the worldwide movement? Thanks!
