requently claims to be related to several members of the House of Lords in the British Parliament. She worries about the amount of violence being committed by mobs of men called the Sons of Liberty. She and her husband fear that their wealth and their connections to Britain may cause them to be targets of the mob. Is Colonist B a Patriot, Loyalist, or a Neutral?
I believe she is a Neutral, though she is leaning more towards Loyalist than Patriot. She loves the idea of being related to the House of Lords, and their connects to Britain. However, it doesn't say that she hates the idea that the Son's of Liberty stand for. She only fears the violence. Nor does she say to support Britain's ideas. She just wants her business and family to stay safe. Therefore, I would say she is a Neutral.
