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 blessëd one, man!
Peer.
A blessëd one?
The Passenger.
Sea's running high as houses
Ah, one can feel one's mouth watering!
