Evidence:
27 June 1918: 'At the Club yesterday I picked up the Times & read of Aunt Minna's death 2 days ago at Lane End [...] She was in her 91st year. A more composed, & outwardly useless life one can't imagine [...] I saw her a few weeks ago, apparently unaware of death, taking her house for 4 years further, & saying precisely what she'd said at any time -- about good & bad novels [goes on to reminisce further about aunt]'.
