Neville's parents catch him writing a romantic song line instead of studying

As a schoolboy, one of nine brothers and a sister pretending to study, he was caught by his mother having written out on his homework paper the song line "I wonder who's kissing her now?"; she took it to the veranda and she and his father had a hearty laugh over it.

    Reasoning Passage 546171 is Neville narrating in the first person his mother catching him having written the song line 'I wonder who's kissing her now?' instead of studying -- this is the telling. The owning lecture nid 1835 carries a converging pair of delivery claims (circa 1965 probable, sharpened by a recovered chrome dateline to exact 1965-03-09 certain); the most precise, d1, is used and its precision/confidence copied across unchanged.
