I stand on a sunlit hill in a park or a resort. I converse with a gentleman who has an air of aristocracy.
We discuss a young lady aristocrat. I have feelings for her; the gentleman informs me she is already betrothed. I am despondent.
Then there is a diving competition between me and her betrothed, who is young, strong, and confident.
He dives with success; I am still despondent. I dive un-energetically. The judges are outraged at my lack of form.
