You know... it suddenly struck me this afternoon that in exactly one week, I will be a year closer to my three hundredth birthday. Three whole centuries, even if I am not quite there yet. Just over twenty years left to go...  

It also struck me that, being here, I might actually live to see it. 

[And with that wistful little moment, he goes back to sitting in the gardens at a small little table with four chairs, sipping his tea in the evening warmth with some little sweets before him, watching some fireflies dance for the last time before it becomes to cold.]

I see. At least you are relieved of the burden some of the time, if not all. Or at least, I hope it is a relief.

It's okay. I'm used to not looking at anything, so that's what I do here.

Well, you have more steel than I. I am not sure how I would get on, not seeing.

It's not so bad, really.

Re: dictated;

And you get along fine? You have had no great difficulties?

Well, there's a few, but that's okay.
