Yes Susan, Mary just stood there when Jem came over to get her out of the boat and she put her hands on his shoulders and let him pick her up out of the boat (like he was escorting her from a carriage that was taking them to a ball or something). Then she stood in front of him and said 'leave me alone!' Now, if she was REALLY afraid of him, when he went to get her from the boat she would have pushed him away, kicked at him or knocked him over the head with one of the oars to get him away from her. Not just reach out for him to pick her up and then tell him to leave her alone! Oh my, I guess all of us critics should have been directors, huh? We could show Hitchcock a thing or two!
