They flirt and behave coquettishly. Their antics are pretty over the top and amusing. She then makes a big show of getting into a sulk. Edmund grabs her leg and she tries to fight him off. He then discovers the necklace tucked into her stocking and pulls it out. He jumps up when another couple approach. He grabs Maria's leg and puts her foot in his trouser pocket! She jumps around trying to keep her balance. She manages to get hold of the necklace again and puts it around her neck. | |
