Dickens briefly discusses his son Charles, Jr, and the possibility of "the business of placing him in some house of commerce." Charles, Jr, would have been roughly the same age as Berger at the time. Francesco Berger, composer and pianist, was a young friend and collaborator of Dickens, including providing the music for Dickens's production of Wilkie Collins's The Frozen Deep.
