When Kit and Nat parted after her arrival in Wethersfield, there was a distance between them. Nat was still upset with Kit for diving into the cold water near Saybrook. During their last few days on the ship, Nat treated Kit with a mixture of indifference and anger.

When Kit and Nat parted after her arrival in Wethersfield, there was a distance between them. Nat was still upset with Kit for diving into the cold water near Saybrook. During their last few days on the ship, Nat treated Kit with a mixture of indifference and anger.
In Chapter 12, Kit helped Nat repair Hannah's roof. He was surprised when she offered to assist him, but he welcomed the help. As they worked, Nat spoke to Kit with kindness. He asked her how her new life was. They talked about books and the King.
When they met next in Chapter 14, Nat was upset with Kit. She had not told him that William was courting her. Nat confronted her about this, telling her how he found out:
"An interesting cargo we had this trip. One item in particular. Sixteen diamond-paned windows ordered from England by one William Ashby. They say he's building a house for his bride. A hoity-toity young lady from Barbados, I hear, and the best is none too good for her. No oiled paper in her windows, no indeed!"
Nat spoke rudely to her before they parted ways. Judith questioned Kit about his rudeness.
