Scope and content
It must have been a terrible shock to Beaton to hear the sad news while in Paris. Death shocks "deeply and shatteringly" even when expected. He will probably forget how heavy a burden life had been to his mother. Once the funeral is over he will probably realise the "blessing of peace" for her. He has been a wonderful son. Is thinking of him a lot.
