When the dictionary was finally published the women of it were not provided the luxury to join the men in the balcony view or to dine with them. After the event the women had a celebration of their own & Esme raises a glass to the women of the dictionary.

It is 1928 & Dittie has written to Megan Brooks, Es’s daughter. Es has died at 46 years old she was struck by a lorry on Westminster Bridge. When interviewing a woman for an article account.

Gareth’s kit arrived at Es’s home containing another letter written three days post the one she received in the mail. It was written in a rush whilst Gareth was dying in the mud. He had put his head on the chest of one of his men trying to find a heartbeat which he states he doesn’t know why he expected one when his legs were blown off. Esme leaves for her train & leaves his comb on the sink.

Horace Harts letter to Mrs Owen with two copies of their dictionary & a third is retain at the Oxford University Press. He apologises for the lack of copies due to paper being in short supply & for the binding not being up to the standard of the original. Yours, in sympathy, Horace Hart

Esme received a telegram during breakfast which Lizzie cooked. Gareth is died.

The scripy being packed up, Bertie dropping his head into Ed’s shoulder. The difference between Gareth’s 1st letter & 2nd letter. P.s. Ajit was not invincible. Wrenching of my soul when the ember of a fag glows in the mud through the lips that held it have been blown away. I knew it would be his last. This is how we do it. We light fags we nod her hold their gaze. Then we send them over the top.

Dr Murray dying 2 weeks after the group dictionary photo. Gareth being deployed & having to leave after the funeral. Es going into the Scripy & seeing Dr Murray’s mortarboard that she got him to wear for the photo. Ros his daughter apologising to Es for her exclusion from the pic as she took it & informing her they are all moving in September & the scripy will become a garden shed.

If Gareth fit in her trunk she’d have locked him in there & hidden the key. But it’s too late for that Mr Hart & Dr Murray had being writing letters for months to get him into officers training so he’s defs dying at war..

Him cutting the pages & the women in bindery falling over themselves to show him how to put it together. Mr Sweatman being his lookout & Lizzie being the key part in the operation. Es popping the dictionary upstairs as she’s not forever but she’s not ready to share it.

Harold saying I don’t know how we’re going to get on without him. Es said I can’t imagine why you’d have to get on without him. Harold quick to dismiss it & say a hypothetical miss. He’s gonna enlist & die & they’ll never fall in love & get married & Es will be miserable her whole fucking life great.
