There is a little bit about Bel Bree and Kate Sencerbox and the Schermans, which belongs somewhat earlier than that, in those few pleasant days when March was beguiling us to believe in the more engaging of his double moods, and in the possibility of his behaving sweetly at the end, and going out after all like a lamb.
