Which women were crying and why?

Lib, Florence and Helen were all crying. Peyton was crying as well because she'd been spanked for going fishing.... well really leaving without telling anyone.

Three women were in the living room. They were all crying, Lib silently, Florence and Helen loudly. Lib saw him and ran into his arms and wiped her tears on his shirt. "What's happened?" he demanded.

"Nobody but Peyton. She upstairs, crying. Helen spanked her and sent her to bed."

"Not that. Helen spanked her because she took out your boat and drifted downstream. We didn't know what had happened to her until she rowed home an hour ago. She said she couldn't make it sail right."

Randy looked at Helen. "And what's wrong with you?" "I'm upset. Anybody'd be upset if they had to spank their child."
