The Tone of the Description
Captions available
The idea
The manner is comic and the judgment is severe, which unit four's lexicon would pair as something like satirical but restrained. The glossary's Horatian and Juvenalian distinction is useful: Dickens enjoys the performance, which puts him nearer the gentler end.
In practice
Comic manner, severe judgment.
Where people slip
Nearer Horatian than Juvenalian.
