Oh...

Ah, ah!

Sorry, Miss Letty.

Not all sweet, but it had its moments.

I wonder if there's anybody

exciting aboard.

Well, I hope not.

I'm going into seclusion.

Right this way, please.

Ah, 787. My lucky numbers.

But how they threw me down the other night.

Maybe they're just coming up.

Who knows.

Hm, rather nice isn't it?

I'll bring the luggage up right away.

Oh, Miranda...

Do you think my devoted mother

will be glad to see me?

Of course. It's been over a year.

They're over. That's right.

We left just before the

holidays, didn't we?

Oh, thank goodness they'll be over.

I hate Christmas at home.

Miranda, do you think she'll be

at the boat?

Throw her arms around me?

Say I shall never leave her again?

Do you think so, Miranda?

Well...

If not, Miss Letty, there's a lot

of the world you haven't seen yet.

You're not crying, Miss Letty?

I guess I was at that.

Feeling sorry for myself.

Miranda, the door.

Seven eight... seven.

We haven't done anything about

the dining room yet, have we, Miranda?

Here. Give this to the steward

and ask him to find us a table alone.

Or...

or with somebody more or less human.

More or less human?

Yes, Miss Letty.

More or less human, more or less human.

Seven eight six.

Good morning, steward.

Hello, Mr. Darrow.

Anything I can do for you?

I thought I recognized a familiar face...

among those passengers getting on

at Montevideo. Have you a list?

Yes, right here, sir.

There were only about a dozen.

I think I owe you some money, steward.

Thank you very much, sir.

I've eaten alone all the way

from Capetown.

Why, Mr. Darrow, I thought

you prefered that.

I'm sure the captain would be delighted

to have you at his table.

No, thanks, I'm not as lonesome as that.

Lynton.

Letty Lynton.

I wonder what makes that name

sound so familiar.

That could be arranged, sir.

We'll take a chance on that.

I hope she's very beautiful, sir.

And not too dumb.

Thank you very much.

I beg your pardon.

Steward, with Miss Letty Lynton's

compliments.

Miss Lynton, yes, yes.

Well, we are pretty well crowded.

May I see the list, sir?

Certainly.

786, Darrow.

That name seems familiar, steward.

I don't know why,

but I think Miss Lynton knows him.

Tell Miss Lynton I think it can

be arranged. Thank you, sir.

Not at all. It gives me great pleasure.

Consomm.

Chicken salad, sherbet and coffee.

The same for me,

with three lamb chops

asparagus and hashed brown potatoes.

Yes, sir.

Some people are born lucky,

others gather in as they go along

and some have it thrust upon them.

Well that's delightful. Who said that?

I said it.

I thought it was out of a book.

Shakespeare, or something like that.
