Burning Candle?
There's a moment during the dinner party the boy's parents are throwing where it appears that a candle is beginning to burn one of curtain ropes. The boy leaves the room, as do the servants, and this candle is sat burning away for a few seconds before the camera cuts away. Did anyone else see this?
It never gets mentioned or seen again, I feel like I'm imagining it! I thought the boy had attempted to burn the house down but clearly not. Very strange moment.
