Question

On the following forenoon, I again observed my fellow voyager watching me earnestly
from his deck chair. Now a lady was with him, obviously his wife. The situation by this
time had begun to intrigue me. I discovered from my steward that they were Mr and Mrs
John S_ from a small suburb of London. When another day passed without event, I began
to feel certain that Mr S_ would remain too shy to carry out his obvious desire to approach
me. However, on our final evening at sea Mrs S_ decided the matter. With a firm pressure
on his hand and a whispered word in his ear, she urged her husband towards me as I
passed along the deck.
