I already explained to you what is meant by "hour of death." When one speaks of "the hour of death" he/she does not mean at precisely one hour before death. Oftentimes what is meant is the hours or days before certain death. What really controls with the expression "hour of death" is the certainty of death and not the hour preceeding it.

I thought I had made this clear before.

But by ALL ACCOUNTS Lady Hope's visit, if it happened, took place SIX MONTHS before Darwin died! Are you going to stretch *hours of death* to mean MONTHS? And WHERE did Lady Hope say she met Darwin on his deathbed? Certainly not in the link you provided. Darwin was not having heart trouble until December, and wasn't bedridden until April. Your *logic* is hilarious.
