Nellie didn't walk straight up to Rowan but took a surreptitious detour and hid in a concealed corner, watching him.

He wanted to say more.
Although there was a possibility that he wanted to secretly give them some money and didn't want anyone to see, which was Nellie's first reaction, but on second thought, looking at the funeral, Sidney's family seemed to be very well-off.
Whatever was going to happen, all she had to do was wait.
If it was just the voices in her head interfering with her judgment, she could just turn around silently, and no misunderstanding would occur.
