The Sound of Music Scene 27 Summary

  • Liesl asks Maria for some relationship advice, since she and Rolfe appear to be over.
  • Maria offers motherly advice in the form of a song. Things will work out for her; she just needs to not rush into things.
  • The captain interrupts them and sends Liesl out.
  • He shares the contents of the telegram. He's been "offered" a commission with the Nazis, and he has to report for duty the next day.
  • He knows it would be deadly for them to refuse, and he has no intention of joining them.
  • Maria says she knew this would happen, but didn't expect it would happen so soon.
  • The captain tells her to round up the kids and not tell them anything; they're going to leave Austria that very evening.
