I loved the 'cheerfully exhausted child-slump'...and was not expecting the horror of Richard's act. Everybody probably has a similar story of their childhood brush with cruelty, of disappointment, of power demonstrations. It built up beautifully, and I loved the way the children ran home, each on their own, but all together.
