tins and coffee. By the time the sergeant was ready she was back,
dressed in a chauffeur's uniform.
Barry had thought her charming in her V. A. D. dress, but in her uniform
she was bewitching. He noticed that her hair clustered in tiny ringlets
about her natty little cap, in quite a maddening way. One vagrant curl
over her ear had a particular fascination for his eyes. He felt it ought

"Well, are you ready?" inquired the girl in a quick, businesslike tone.
"What? Oh, yes," said Barry, recalled to the business of the moment.
During the drive the girl gave her whole attention to her wheel, as
indeed was necessary, for the road was dangerously slippery, and she
drove without lights through the black night. Barry kept up an endless
stream of talk, set going by her command, as she took her place at the
wheel.
