"My dear sir," I said, "I don't know anything about you, except that your are a damned nuisance." He swayed from me, pained and surprised. Apparently he was upon an outbreak of tears.

"Proud and haughty to the last." He then embraced a passing steward, and demanded to be informed why the ship rolled. He never knew a ship to roll as our ship rolled. "Perfec'ly satisfact'ry ocean, but ship rolling like a stone-breaker. Take me some place in the ship where this ship don't roll." The steward led him away.
