I have observed, on board a steamer, how men and women easily give way to their instinct for flirtation, because water has the power of washing away our sense of responsibility, and those who on land resemble the oak in their firmness behave like floating seaweed when on the sea.

When you fell in the sea, you should have heard them cheer. I made them rope the yard and fish you up.

They’d believe anything if you make it sound silly enough.
Tanith Lee
