Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker addresses the gathered group as their children and says the sight warms their blood, then reveals the reason: the group is conspiring against them. The affection is sardonic and possibly menacing, treating betrayal as a family reunion the speaker seems, at least outwardly, to relish.
