1 Higgs: Miss Wendy, do ye be thinkin’ it be possible for ships to pass in the night wi’out be noticin’ one another?
2 Wendy: Ah, Bosun Higgs, I be thinkin’ it be happenin’ all the time. We just not be knowin’ about it.
3 Wendy: How many millions of people must have walked past their True Love on the street, caught an eye, but not stopped to speak and ne’er see one another again?
4 Higgs: People? I be talkin’ about actual ships.
4 Wendy: Oh.

Wendy's reflections are based on True Love being an actual thing. But of course in a world of fantastic pirate adventures, it no doubt is. Just look at The Princess Bride.
