Was the Russell business in full swing then? I think so. But no : most of the action – his arrest, the court case, his dismissal from Trinity – must have happened in the late summer and early autumn, because I remember light coming over my shoulder as I read one of his letters while drinking tea; at Christmas it would have been dark already at teatime, a darkness which the wartime prohibition on streetlights only deepened.
