What is she clapping to? It might be to music on the stereo,
but as far as we can see, it’s not switched on. Perhaps she’s applauding an
activity that’s just been completed. It’s hard to establish whether that’s a
sarcastic applause or whether it’s genuine. Maybe she’s celebrating her first
win at Downfall and her opponent’s already ran away in a strop. Or it could be
something to do with the chess pieces sitting on the counter, though by sitting
on the sofa she’s quite a bit away from the board. Perhaps someone else is
calculating the outcome. Or she might be putting her hands up in surrender,
expecting someone to come and cuff them. Something could arrived that she’s
been expecting for a while and her wait is over. Or there might be two little
girls performing dance or gymnastics out of sight of the camera and they need a
little applause for their efforts.
