弗兰克-卡森 博士一直在梦见令人着迷的冷却，泡腾饮料的梦想。在梦中，他一遍又一遍地从床上爬起来，穿着睡衣轻轻跳下床去做手术，使自己沉迷于漫长而又酷又闷的东西，却无法使梦境圆满结束。他突然起床了。仍然渴求他。淬火所需的材料，只需走一小段楼梯即可。如果他们的嘴唇湿润得足以拍打，他会sm他的嘴唇。实际上，他推下了床单，将一条腿从床上扔了下来，这使他坚信自己还在做梦。因为气氛闷闷不乐，气味浓郁，天花板以奇怪的凸起曲线下降到他头几英尺内。仍然半睡着，他惊讶地举起拳头，朝它扑去。这种感觉被愚蠢的事情所取代，因为天花板变成了另一种形状并明显发誓。医生沉思说："我一定在做梦。" "甚至天花板似乎还活着。"他再次劝说-这次是密切关注。天花板一下子上升到更高的高度，与此同时，一张长着浓密胡须的老脸爬到了它的边缘下，并亵渎地问他这是什么意思。它还问他是否想要自己的东西，因为如果这样，他将以正确的方式工作。

Captain Wilson, skipper of the Seamiew, is besotted with a woman he has only observed from a distance. He sees a way to ease his way in to her affections and offers a reward to his crew to help him in his quest. The fun then starts as each of them tries to bag the reward for himself and leads to a lot of bother for each of them as they sail round the South Coast. This is classic British understated humour, that would translate marvellously to the screen."The story of how Captain Wilson, master and Owner of the schooner Seamiew, won the hand of Miss Annis Gething is one which few people, to use an expressive vulgarism, will be able to read 'with a straight face'." - The Spectator"It contains scenes which we shall not be able to recall without a smile for many weeks to come... It is a good story well told and full of humour and drollery." - The Daily Telegraph
