Jack Butler came to all Neville's meetings and dined with Neville and his wife Bill every weeknight they did not entertain, praising every dish and washing the dishes while Neville dried; he was a New York-born Irishman full of blarney who refused to marry, and after he died Neville had to do both the washing and the drying.

M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 017)
Reasoning
Passage 536701: Jack dined with Neville and his wife (Bill) every weeknight, 'that was our life for years with Jack', until he died. Neville married Catherine on 1942-02-25 (event 819) and Jack Butler's death is dated 1948-08 (event 8779; another event puts it 'since 1946', so the end is the later, better-dated one).
before 1967
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [536701] belong to telling lecture nids [1310]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1967 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1967 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 24 November 1967
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1967 to before 1967-11-24.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1310 (certain delivery 1967-11-24); 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 1967-11-24 on nid 1310 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
