Ann imagines and receives the eighteen-dollar hat

Ann, a prostitute who attended all his New York meetings and lived at the Ansonia, imagined wearing an $18 hat she saw in a window; a friend later gave her that very hat, and Neville questioned her until she admitted she would never have bought it even with $100 in hand.

    Why Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1967 to before 1967-11-06.
    Reasoning L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1301 (certain delivery 1967-11-06); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1967`, 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 1967-11-06 on nid 1301 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
