Gladys entertains a stranger as wartime talk unfolds
In Ontario, Gladys Oldershaw keeps house for her father who has a wartime meeting with General Herbert. While he’s away, a slender stranger, posing as a possible visitor, asks about the general. Gladys plays tennis with him, grows curious about his identity, and learns about generals and promotion through candid, if blunt, remarks. The scene hints at espionage and social intrigue during the great war era.

General Herbert Returns to Army as Gladys Remains
In a civil scene at the Oldershaw home Gladys debates bravery and nobility with a wounded general who prefers a modest brigadier role. The talk shifts to moral courage over physical strength before a dinner interlude ends with the general resuming service and Gladys left to reflect on him. General Herbert later rejoins the army, leaving Gladys in Canada as a bride.
