This episode is all about hockey. Frances reads poems written about Vera and hockey in 1908, as well as letters written by Vera, describing hockey tournaments at Weston-Super-Mare in 1911 and at Great Comp, home of the Heron Maxwells, in 1912.
Vera is a great letter writer, and her vivid descriptions makes it very easy to imagine the events that occurred.
