The War between the classes
Chapter XI



    
The G4s hand out a question sheet. Whereas Amy as a degraded Orange finds the questions hard and too much for the time they have, the Blues and Dark Greens seem to have no problems with the question sheet. Amy wonders about that.

   
The reader gets the information that Sue has lost her baby. Hideo is back again from San Francisco. Mr. and Mrs Sumoto learn about the lost baby through Amy who reproaches her father for not having accepted Sue. Thereupon Mr. Sumoto leaves the room in annoyance. Her mother shows Amy what preparations they have already done for the baby and it gets obvious for the reader that they were really looking forward for the baby. Mr. and Mrs. Sumoto´s sadness and disappointment are large.

   
At the end of chapter XI Mr. Sumoto brings hideo and Sue a bonsai which they have kept for over 200 years. Maybe this can be seen as a sign that their relationship is now accepted by Mr. and Mrs. Sumoto.

   

In addition to that he both consolates and encourages Sue by saying that she will get another baby sooner or later.
