 PEER
 * Good evening! What-? Who are you?

THE PASSENGER
 * Your fellow-passenger, at your service.

PEER
 * Indeed? I thought I was the only one.

THE PASSENGER
 * A mistaken impression, which now is set right.

PEER
 * But it's singular that, for the first time to-night,
 * I should see you-

THE PASSENGER
 * I never come out in the day-time.

PEER
 * Perhaps you are ill? You're as white as a sheet-

THE PASSENGER
 * No, thank you-my health is uncommonly good.

PEER
 * What a raging storm!

THE PASSENGER
 * Ay, a blessed one, man!

PEER
 * A blessed one?

THE PASSENGER
 * The sea's running high as houses.
 * Ah, one can feel one's mouth watering!
