Answer:
Probably Fall, since that is the time school starts.
Explanation:
The stylistic element used in the passage is incongruity. It is a form of satire or humor. Incongruity is used in an unsuitable time.

Another example would be if at a royal wedding the groom's pants fell down in the middle of the ceremony.
The conclusion about the Eldest Magician that this excerpt supports is that the Eldest Magician has a good sense of humor.
When the man said that he was to tired to paddle, the Eldest Magician joked about him being so lazy that his children will be too, and even went as far as to declare them "Malazy—the lazy people". However, in spite of joking about his laziness, he complied with the man's request to have the Sea work for him twice a day, therefore creating the tides.
The lady who visits Dante in Canto II is called Beatrice. She was Dante's greatest love while she was alive. She died and went to heaven, but she still loves him and learns about the situation that Dante is going through. For this reason, she decides to help him using Virgil to mediate the interaction between the two, since she transfers to Virgil all the advice and guidelines that Dante will need to get through the moment he is in. Beatrice knows that Dante still loves her and that he will hear her message through Virgil.
Beatrice symbolizes divine love, one that is pure and that goes beyond physical and spiritual barriers.
We had hoped they had sent us an invitation too.
