The Holidays, the Baby,

and Donovan

The family finally started to get back to normal. Maggie began to think about Thanksgiving. She was feeling very sad that they would not be able to have her relatives from Germany for the holiday celebration. She was thinking about Hildegard and her daughter Sara. Maggie knew that, although Sara wasn’t really Hildegard’s daughter, Hildegard treated her as if she was.

Maggie did not even think of Horst as her brother-in-law. He was a Nazi—cruel and evil. The trip to Germany had definitely been an adventure for Maggie. But the reality she had seen and participated in would impact her for the rest of her life. She didn’t want the United States to enter the war in Europe. She knew that, if it did, more death and devastation would follow—only the death would be close to home, for it would be Americans who were killed fighting the Nazis and their allies. She and Carlton discussed the situation at length. They had been listening to the radio more than they had ever done in the past. They read all the war news in the paper daily.

Maggie was getting worried that Carlton would volunteer. She dreaded the day that would happen. She had been spending her time with the children. She helped them in the mornings to get ready for school, making lunches, checking homework, and making sure they were dressed properly. Fall was starting to wane, and winter was approaching. The children never put on enough clothing for the weather. Once they left, it was putting the house in order, figuring out the day’s menu, and getting Carlton out of the house. Since they’d returned from Germany, he had been lingering at home longer than normal. When she asked him about it, he mumbled something about wanting to spend more time with her, she being pregnant and all. She thought it was the residue from the trip and dismissed his good intentions.

Carlton was trying to get his practice back together. He had to cancel a number of court cases and put off a number of client cases. The clients understood but were getting nervous about their issues. Carlton found himself working more hours than he wanted to. But the practice had to come first. He had to make a living and get back his clients’ confidence. He knew that, in time, he would be back to the normal flow of taking care of his clients’ needs.

As time went on, he was getting concerned about the situation in the world. Things were continuing to escalate. The allies’ shipping losses were the heaviest since the beginning of the war. In October alone, the losses totaled 198,000 tons of material. The submarines seemed to be winning. The Italians, under Mussolini’s direction, had attacked Greece and Albania. The air Battle of Britain was continuing. Although their aircraft and pilot losses were high, the Germans continued heavy bombing in England. The English retaliated by bombing Berlin, Naples, Danzig, Dresden, and Hamburg.

Both Carlton and Maggie voted in the presidential election.
