Neville's mother dies and appears restored to youth

His mother, riddled with cancer and able to keep down nothing but champagne, was kept alive two years on champagne the brothers scoured the West Indies for, and died at sixty-three looking wizened; at the very moment of her death she appeared to Neville as a radiant blond, blue-eyed woman of about twenty, brushing her hair beneath a flowering arbor, smiling but not speaking.

    Reasoning Passage 546207's later span (4932-5067, beyond the printed preview) is Neville himself describing seeing his mother at the moment of her death, restored to a radiant young woman brushing her hair. The lecture containing it (nid 1835) has two agreeing delivery claims converging on 1965-03-09 at certain confidence; the telling inherits that same date and confidence.
