Barry followed her in growing amazement and admiration at her prompt
efficiency.

what you will do, but there is a garden paling a little further on, and,
of course--"
"Don't worry about that," said Barry.
"I won't," with a gay laugh; "I know you Canadians, you see."
Together they returned to the car.
Before she mounted to her seat she turned to Barry, and offered him her
hand and said: "I think it is perfectly ripping that we were introduced
in this way. Though I don't know your name yet," she added shyly.
"Awfully stupid of me," said Barry, and he gave her his name, adding
that of the regiment, and his rank.
"Good-bye, then," she said, climbing into her car, and starting her
engine.
