During a sunny Sunday at Windy Corner, Lucy feels briefly secure in her secret bond with George Emerson. Tennis, music, and literary banter give way to disaster when Cecil reads aloud from Miss Lavish’s novel, which recreates Lucy and George’s intimate Florence moment almost exactly. Shaken and exposed, Lucy tries to escape the tension, but George impulsively kisses her again in the garden path.
