What She Was Implying
No matter the reason, she was convinced that she deserved to board first because she paid for her ticket. She was implying that the first-class fare was far too much for Emmitt to afford. It was clear to Emmitt that the woman didn’t have any good intentions.
A Rude Woman
Again, Emmitt tried to clarify that he was in the right place and that he wouldn’t pass for the woman. Like everyone else in this line, she was going to have to wait. He tried to understand where the woman was coming from, but her actions were unjustifiable.
