    Humiliating, Nita thought. Rem had taught her that word and explained what it meant, but she had never used it. Not until now, when she saw the sailors mocking an old woman who struggled to climb aboard. When she fell, no one tried to help her. Nita looked away, her cheeks burning with heat. She wished they would just set sail already so this spectacle would end...and someone would explain why she felt so awful.
