I read Testament of Friendship a long time ago - probably just after I read Testament of Youth for the first time. I was interested at the comment about Vera's death bed happy ending. She was presumably disguising Winifred Holtby's devotion to her and the implications that people seemed to have been drawing from their relationship.

I do get the impression that Vera was quite happy to accept the devotion of others to her as her due. I do feel sorry for George!
