“You spoke a truth then, Kitten,” her father said proudly.
“We have so few workers over here on the island each of us will have to do double duty. It’s going to be loads of fun.”
“I’m so pleased you’ve found your place in the war program. I was sure you would.”
Kitty glanced at her father gratefully as she handed him the hot muffins Jane had brought in.
“No, thanks. I have plenty.”
“But, Dad, you always eat two. And you haven’t eaten half your eggs. That’s very unpatriotic with eggs so high.”
He laughed. “I’m beginning to see the effects of your nutrition course already.”
“I’ll admit it’s made me food conscious, and I was already point conscious.”
“I must hand it to you women for having a streak of genius with handling rationing points.”
“I’m ashamed to admit it, Dad, but I find myself figuring up point values first and almost forgetting what a thing is going to cost.”
