Read as far as "... Twelvemonthsminding?" (280.8)

(First of all, apologies for having missed last week's post!)

We read as far as "A halt for hearsake." (279.9)

It could help to know that part of what we read was about letters, ('All the world's in want and is writing a letters.' (278.13)), as we are going to start with a longish letter next week!
