Captain Rockwell Torrey:
Ever hear the name 'Cunliffe'? Nurse Lieutenant Maggie Haynes:
It's one of those expensive New England names, isn't it? Captain Rockwell Torrey:
Well, she was a Cunliffe, Jere's mother. I met her at a Navy ball, 1917. She was beautiful. I don't know why she married me - I was just an ensign. Nurse Lieutenant Maggie Haynes:
I bet You were something when You were an ensign. Captain Rockwell Torrey:
Fell over my feet most of the time. But when I came back from the war, I had a son, and the Cunliffes had great plans for me. I was to resign my commission in the Navy, and do something useful... the stock market. They sat around with teacups on their laps, and ticker tape coming out of their ears, and I said no. It was quite a scene. Then, Athalie - that was her name, Athalie - said, 'Rockwell, I will not become a camp follower. Whenever you are not busy boating with the Navy, feel free to come visit us.' And that's the way it was; I visited. Then I was assigned to duty in the Philippines, and that ended it. Nurse Lieutenant Maggie Haynes:
