Jack investigates Neville's mistaken newspaper advertisement

After a mistake in one of Neville's newspaper advertisements, Jack Butler went to investigate, and the religious-section editor pacified him by showing him the social section, where dozens of society ladies and their daughters were queueing two months before Easter to arrange in advance what they would wear and where they would be photographed coming out of church.

    Reasoning Passage 550192 dates Jack Butler's visit as 'just about two months before Easter'. In the same lecture context, passage 550191 calls Easter the coming Sunday, while node 1962's corroborated delivery date is Friday 1971-04-09, placing that Sunday at 1971-04-11; subtracting two calendar months gives 1971-02-11. The carrier anchor is certain, but 'just about' is explicitly approximate and is the weakest link, so the derived date is estimated/circa at probable rather than stated or certain.
