Delayed reaction to a reading

Today as I was driving to my appointment, some imagery in my mind made me feel that she would say that she was feeling brave and trying to make jokes about the storm just to make the others on the boat less afraid.

Reaction to:

"On 25 May Beatrice left for Venice accompanied by her mother Eleonora, her brother Alfonso with his wife Anna Maria and various secretaries and advisers, with a retinue of more than 1 200 people. They sailed first along the Po, then on a dangerously rough sea that aroused many fears among those present, but not in Beatrice, who enjoyed mocking the fearful of the group.[20]"
