“I remember lots of things, but I know I didn’t. I never have—till just now.”

“I know I didn’t, because—oh, it’s no use keeping anything back! because I truthfully meant to.”

“There was—there always is. It was another woman—out there—on the sea. I saw her. It was the 26th of May. I’ve got it written down somewhere.”
“Oh, you’ve kept a record of your dreams, too? That’s odd about the other woman, because I happened to be on the sea just then.”
“I was right. How do I know what you’ve done when you were awake—and I thought it was only you!”
