[Carlyle has asked to see Frost before he dies]
Lt. Col. John Frost: Hello, Harry.
Major Harry Carlyle: Hello. Johnny.
Lt. Col. John Frost: You know, Harry; I always wanted to ask you, but didn't because I knew you so very much wanted me to and I didn't want to give you the satisfaction; but why do you always carry that umbrella?
Major Harry Carlyle: Bad memory. Never could remember the password. Knew no Jerry would carry one. Had to prove I was an Englishman, you see.
