BR provided the year in his hand.

Dora sends BR his letters (not included), mentioning one from a Mr. Schott. She had tea with old college friends—Marjorie Lockwood and Ida Woodward, who "told an amusing tale about an article in the Times Educational Supplement referring to a circular of the Board of Education which suggested teaching 'mothercraft' in girls' schools (just washing babies etc.) and said 'this instruction may be given by a married woman on her staff'".

Dora remarks on BR's face. She opposes the "religious" view of the sex act.
