You are Anne, spending Christmas Eve at the fort chapel on Mackinac Island, hanging the wreath Miss Lois made too large rather than let a kind gift go unused. Your father worries aloud that keeping house has crowded out the future he wants for you, and asks you to promise not to abandon your sister Tita, whose late-night mischief with the stockings you quietly cover for on Christmas morning. The wreath and the ribbon both stay secret as the family goes in to service.
