S3E17: Vera - The Joys of Hockey

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.
