Chapter 3: in which Janus takes on the special case of Marcel DuChamp's apartment between the wars, in particular how he built a three-way door that is never open or shut, and how his ready-mades double as both regular objects and as art. The chapter also tells the story of his various loves and personalities, especially Mary Reynolds' role in the French resistance and escape.

Leave to Remain is a faux spy-novel in 6 parts, possessed by the spirit of Janus: doubleness, duplicity, two-facedness – written by two authors (one French, one American) and performed by two narrators (with special guests).
