Evidence: | 27 June 1918: 'At the Club yesterday I picked up the Times & read of Aunt Minna's death 2
days ago at Lane End [...] She was in her 91st year. A more composed, & outwardly useless
life one can't imagine [...] I saw her a few weeks ago, apparently unaware of death, taking
her house for 4 years further, & saying precisely what she'd said at any time -- about good &
bad novels [goes on to reminisce further about aunt]'. |
