Neville describes giving his immortal eyes, from another level of his own being and not by his own choosing, to a woman he does not know socially rather than to his wife or daughter, and keeping the gift even while giving it.
Date (happened)

bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [541073] belong to telling lecture nids [1493]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1969 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1969 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 24 October 1969
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1969 to before 1969-10-24.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1493 (certain delivery 1969-10-24); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1969`, 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 1969-10-24 on nid 1493 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
