Miss Moody appeared without a head-dress; as most of the Children of the Mobility are seen at their Promenade Concerts. In this place may be noticed the social _soirées_ which take place annually about the end of December among the inferior circles, and which are principally sustained by juvenile performers. We mean those Concerts D'Hiver commonly known as Christmas Carols. The Misses Grigg were in bonnets, from which circumstance, and from that of Miss Sarah Grigg carrying a basket--would we could say reticule!--on her arm, and displaying in her small hand what seemed to be a street-door key, it was conjectured that they had been shopping. The presence of Master Dummer at the performance was occasioned by his being _en route_ to the Academy, at which he is a diurnal student. The interruption of his progress to the Seminary may be attributed rather to a disinclination for arithmetic than to a love of harmony; his genius, we understand, being more of an observant and contemplative, than of a mathematical or literary tendency, and music being interesting to him, merely, to use a common expression, as "something going on." His steps, when directed towards the abode of learning, are not remarkable, generally, for rapidity; and are very apt to be arrested by a variety of little occurrences; in short, he has a strong natural inclination for the philosophical amusement improperly termed _lounging_. The remark which he was heard to make with reference to a peculiarity in Denticci's dress, may be considered as an example of his reflective turn. This, too, is very decidedly observable in the expression of his eye, whose appearance is the more striking for the contrast which it presents to that of his cheek,--a part in which he strongly resembles the young gentleman alluded to in "As You Like It," who is represented. Indeed, if for _satchel_, we read _slate_, we shall find Master Dummer, taken altogether, to be no bad representative of the second of Man's "Seven Ages,"--viewing Man as he exists in the Mobility. His slate may be said, in one sense, though not perhaps in that which his preceptor would approve of, to be his amusement, being usually covered with hieroglyphics rather than figures, and exhibiting much stronger indications of a predilection for "Tit-tat-to," than of proficiency in the Rule of Three. ...............With his satchel, And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. The young Denticci, who had the honour of entertaining our philharmonic group, perhaps it would be more in keeping to say, _batch_, of plebeian minors, is the child of a foreign Mobility. To us, however, he is an object of greater interest as a Child of Song, and as exciting in our breast all those deep and delightful associations with which all that ends in "icci" and "ini", is so intimately and powerfully connected.
