He worried over Reinette. Oh, but she was probably fine. Doing much better than these little girls were. Their perfectly manicured hands couldn't quite fit into the slats on the side of the ship, and they most certainly could not handle the icy water splashing up against them. He had to all but shove them up the side of the boat to the deck. One of the women lost her grip and nearly fell into the water below, but the Doctor managed to catch her wrist and pull her back up onto his back.
When they finally reached the top, the women fell forward with exhaustion, and the Doctor crept over to where the guard was watching the crew. They were playing dice, it appeared, while the others drank below. Where was Reinette?
