He remembers the colonel who refused him kindly, saying the man was an awfully nice chap who did not know he was playing pharaoh, and that he knew the man had no choice once the hand of God had appeared.

between February 1943 and 15 March 1943
estimated · probable · preferred
Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 005)
Reasoning
Passage 530671: the colonel wrote 'Disapproved'; nine days later he signed, and nine days after that Neville was out. The approval is dated 1943-03-15 (8415, 15397), so the refusal falls a few weeks before; the same passage gives his age as thirty-eight plus (after 1943-02-19). The colonel is named in node 2219.
before 1963
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [530663] belong to telling lecture nids [1117]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1963 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1963 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 12 December 1963
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1963 to before 1963-12-12.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1117 (certain delivery 1963-12-12); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1963`, an envelope over delivery YEARS computed without reading text. Its premise is that the fact is true by the time it is told; on that same premise the DAY of the telling is a strictly better upper bound. Nothing is re-decided — the bound is stated to the precision the evidence always supported. The delivery claim for 1963-12-12 on nid 1117 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
