They danced several times and had a great evening. Agatha described Archie as "a tall, fair young man, with crisp curly hair, a rather interesting nose, turned up not down, and a great deal of careless confidence about him."

They were married Christmas Eve of 1914; however, soon after that he was in France while Agatha stayed at their home in Torquay doing volunteer work with the Volunteer Aid Detachment.
