Pen photographs of Charles Dickens's readings . s. Dickens maynot be able to look like a Pecksniffian hypocrite, but hecertainly can look like a murderer. Dickens is not as successful in the slight character ofMr. Mould, because of Mr. ]Moulds strong resemblanceto IMr. jNIicawber. The little bald undertaker is very highlytinctured with the essence of the incomparable Wilkins, and although the essence is in itself good, nevertheless, when employed as a flavoring extract, it fails to performits earthly mission. Tliere is undoubtedly somethingMicawberisli in tlie vast importance of ]Ir. Mouldsmanner, but jIr. jMould is too excellent a character not tobe originally delineated. Dickenss Mr. jNIould is a veryamusing person, — especially wlien, turning to Mr. Peck-sniff, he says in an aside, Very shrewd woman, Mr.Pecksniff, &ir, referring to Mrs. Gamp. Woman whoseintellect is immensely superior to her station in life ; sortof woman one would really almost feel disposed to buryfor nothing, and do it neatly, too, — but Mr. Mould can. SAIREY GAMP AND BETSEY PRIG. MRS. GAMP. 133 never hang in the Dickens Portrait Gallery. Cest magni-fique, 77iais ce tiest pas la guerre. Nor, alas ! can we ever see there the classic features ofBetsey Prig. The outline drawn by Dickens is not the counterfeit presentment, but a hasty limning, executedapparently without any careful study of the original.This is the only theory upon which the absence of aspeaking likeness can be accounted for. Mrs. Prig has agruff voice and a beard, — a mannish voice, if you like, —but is not a man for a that; and as the author of herbeing depicts this interesting lady, she is superlativelya man. It does not for an instant occur to us thatDickens is anybody but Dickens in a demoralized con-dition of mind and countenance. There is no illusion, and notwithstanding that the best of creeturs bothersMrs. Harris, assumes an attitude of defiance, winks hereye, declares there s no sich a person, and snaps herfingers
