Narrative Status: 
Narrated+Consciousness
Date: 
Sunday, March 4, 1928 to Tuesday, July 30, 1929
Notes: 

Why is this narrated+consciousness? JB
Time note: This whole section is frustrating because it relies on the ledge in Flem's house as an anchor date. All of these events appear to occur during the moment when the house is being reworked but after Eula has been buried till about the time when Ratliff finds out that Flem has a ledge installed. In short, this was a huge pain to date and accuracy is fairly limited.

Summary: 

Gavin Stevens learns that Linda and Barton Kohl are moving in together without getting married. The lawyer laments the rise of the totalitarian ideologies in Europe - in Italy, Germany, and Russia - and predicts a coming world war. He claims Linda and Kohl aren't getting married, "Because there's not enough time left" (178).
