Good afternoon everybody,
Here are comments on the end of the third part of the novel:

Assize court, the courts of assize, or assizes  were periodic criminal courts held around England and Wales until 1972, when together with the quarter sessions they were abolished by the Courts Act 1971 and replaced by a single permanent Crown Court. The assizes heard the most serious cases, which were committed to it by the quarter sessions (local county courts held four times a year), while the more minor offences were dealt with summarily by justices of the peace in petty sessions (also known as magistrates' courts).

Tortoiseshell glasses got their name because of the material of the frame which is apparently tortoiseshell. They were quite popular because of their unusual appearance, durability and warmth against the skin. Though the prices were rather high. The production was banned in 1970s and tortoiseshell material was replaced by artificial materials.

Balham is a neighborhood of South London and is part of the London Borough of Wandsworth. On 14 October 1940 Balham tube station was involved in bombing raids which took place in London during World War II. People took cover in the tube station. A bomb landed directly on top of the station, bursting water and gas mains and killing 64 people.

 Ford 8 is the first Ford automobile specifically designed for markets outside the United States of America. The little Ford was available in two and four-door versions.

Alfred Edward Housman (1859 – 1936) was an English classical scholar and poet, best known to the general public for his cycle of poems A Shropshire Lad. Lyrical and almost epigrammatic in form, the poems wistfully evoke the dooms and disappointments of youth in the English countryside.
