Georg leaves the estate to meet his girlfriend, the Baroness Elsa Schraeder (Eleanor Parker).
Georg catches the children out of bed in Maria’s room and disapproves. She teaches them how to cope with scary things like the storm (cue: “My Favorite Things”). The other children become scared by the thunder and soon all of them gather for comfort in Maria’s room.
Instead of punishing her, Maria helps her to dry off. A thunderstorm begins raging and Liesl sneaks back into the house, but is caught by Maria. They then flirt, with the flirtation ending with a kiss (cue: “Sixteen Going On Seventeen”). He briefly mentions that Liesl’s father should be more welcoming to the Nazi regime, whose influence is spreading throughout Austria. She sneaks out of the house to meet Rolfe (Daniel Truhitte) a handsome young boy who works for the telegram company. Liesl is the eldest child at the age of 16. This behavior led to many of the other governesses departing soon after their arrival. Maria takes it all in stride, slyly guilting the kids into behaving. Maria is no exception, with the children slipping a frog in her pocket and a pinecone on her dinner chair. Though well-behaved in their father’s presence, they play many mean tricks on their governesses.
They respond to commands that Georg plays on a tin whistle. He has seven children, Liesl, Louisa, Friedrich, Kurt, Brigitta, Marta and Gretl. He is incredibly strict, dismissing Maria’s shabby clothes and carefree demeanor. When she arrives, she meets the now widowed father, retired Austrian military captain Georg Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer).
