Briony gazes out the window and observes from a far distance, the fountain scene between Cecilia and Robbie. Too young to fully comprehend what she is witnessing, Briony mistakes the scene for Robbie proposing to Cecilia and having complete command over her, forcing her to disrobe and “drown herself” so he can save her and have her hand in marriage. After that Briony realizes that her play is “a mistake” and she is not a child already. Briony has completely given up on her play. Leon and his friend Paul arrive.
Not bad!
