I get the impression she just thought it was normal and didn't even ask :p Thats NZ of back then for you, if you did something unexpected, people just accepted it.
Great story in there DavyJones, interesting little snap of life in the carribean. NZ had 500,000 US serviceman here during WW2.... we had a population of about 1.5 million ^^ My Grandfather said resentment was common to that fact while on duty in Europe. The boys just wanted to come home and fight the Japanese, rather than have all these 'yanks' here shagging their girlfriends. England of course wasn't interested, thus the titanic shift in NZ foreign defence policy from that time on. Thus the new relationship with the US was born, a country that actually shared the same ocean! Well, got along until the US got pissy about our non-nuclear legislation anyway
