March 4 FridaySam’s notebook: “Apparently they finished cleaning the cesspools to-day. They have been several days at it. / Suddenly at 4 p.m. Smith brought word from Higgs that he had promised the Aurora to a lady unless I decided to-night to take it. / I think we don’t wish to be hurled into it” [NB 47 TS 7]. Note: Sam was still trying to lease another villa.
