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!
