Ursula and Rupert decide to marry while Gudrun and Gerald continue to see each other. Rupert enjoys their closeness and says they should swear to love each other, but Gerald cannot understand Rupert's idea of wanting to have an emotional union with a man as well as an emotional and physical union with a woman. The day ends in tragedy when Laura and Tibby drown while swimming in the lake.ĭuring one of Gerald and Rupert's discussions, Rupert suggests Japanese-style wrestling. Ursula and Rupert wander away discussing death and love. 'That's one way of putting it', she replies. When Gerald and Rupert appear, Gerald calls Gudrun's behaviour 'impossible and ridiculous', and then says he loves her. Later, at the Criches' annual picnic, to which most of the town is invited, Ursula and Gudrun find a secluded spot, and Gudrun dances before some Highland cattle while Ursula sings ' I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles'. He discards his clothes and wanders through the woods. When Rupert follows her into the next room, she smashes a glass paperweight against his head, and he staggers outside. This sets off spontaneous dancing among the whole group and angers Hermione. When Hermione devises, as entertainment for her guests, a dance in the 'style of the Russian ballet', Rupert becomes impatient with her pretensions and tells the pianist to play some ragtime.

The four are later brought together at a house party at the estate of Hermione Roddice, a rich woman whose relationship with Rupert is falling apart.
