two or three things at once
Just because I wanted to, I spent some time on a bench watching people going up and down stairs and in and out of the gallery. It felt worth it the very instant I spotted the woman dusting the railing, while a man entered the exhibit, and another man was looking at something inside.

applause
During the demonstration of the orchestrion (a self-playing musical contraption), I watched this little girl. She was standing up, ready to hear some music, when she noticed that all the other kids were sitting down. I guess she decided that she didn’t want to be only one standing, so she sat down, but only momentarily: as soon as the music started, she was on her feet.
And, as you can see, she was applauding the performance.
