Edith thanks Lloyd-Williams's for his offer, for BR and her to be guests of honour on speech day during parents' weekend. However, they cannot accept the offer. This is because, as Edith writes, "My husband will soon be eighty-five—and I am by no means 'as young as I was'—and he finds it necessary to guard his energies as much as possible in order to get through all the things that it is necessary for him to do (which, though admittedly fewer than he used to do, are still more than most far younger men could manage)."
