Publisher's Synopsis
A dull afternoon in November. In London, too, where, though bright and beautiful November days are not utterly unknown, they are, it must be allowed, the exception. A not very lively scene indoors either. A large-too large for the present purpose at least-concert-room in a public building, very far from well filled, and somewhat dimly lighted; the dimness aggravated by a suspicion of fog. -Rather an unlucky day, I fear,- said one lady to her next neighbour.
