Jonas went to his own desk and began to sort through his school papers for the evening's assignment. But his mind was still on December and the coming Ceremony. Though he had been reassured by the talk with his parents, he hadn't the slightest idea what Assignment the Elders would be selecting for his future, or how he might feel about it when the day came.

"We've got Father and Mother and one another," said Beth. Beth was the shy one. She always looked on the bright side of things. "We haven't got Father," said Jo sadly. "And we might not have him for a very long time." The girls were suddenly silent. Light from the fire shone on their faces. They were thinking of Father. He was fighting in a war far away. He wouldn't be home for Christmas.
