It appears that everyone was told to hold on to everyone else so that they would be still for the photo. George Benjamin may have taken the thread from the spool on the desk and draped it across himself, his father and sister to help in this process. Judging by the smile on his face, he thought that this was an incredibly good idea on his part.
