Kate's face flushed, clearly feeling wronged, tears welling up in her eyes. "Mrs. Welton, do you always talk like this?" Eliza cleared her throat, "Oh, are you gonna cry now?

Kate was hauled back onto the boat too, shivering uncontrollably. The rower stared at her, bewildered. Wasn't she causing trouble? And now she was saving people?
