Something’s happening. The marquee and gazebo are roped off
but there’s some kids sitting down in the shadow of the castle waiting
patiently in the courtyard. Nearby, two grown-ups are fleeing the scene. Perhaps
something loud is about to start. Perhaps something is due to emerge from the
marquee. The kids may have spotted some performers going in earlier, and they’re
waiting to be the first in line for whatever treat or activity awaits. But there’s
also a load of dead grass. Maybe they’re misinformed, or what they’re expecting
has been and gone. Perhaps the tower is about to be toppled onto the gazebo
which is why it’s roped off. Or maybe the spire is about to launch into the
courtyard. The other thing that could have happened was that their parents have
convinced them that a show was about to start while they sneak off for a half
hour of peace and quiet at the café.
