Towards lunch a few girls who clearly had a sense of the event as an event rather than as an irritation wandered around looking for conversation. Two of them wore clothes of fine paisley and looked like gay moths fluttering from one sweet basil to another.

Other orchestral fixtures in the park, catching a spillover interest from Philharmonic concerts, are getting crowds of up to three times larger than usual...
