(E)A.6. says "No bell shall lead or lie continuously for the entire plain
course of the method." So I think this would be considered a "non-method

"In our world of big names, curiously, our true heroes tend to be
anonymous. In this life of illusion and quasi-illusion, the person
with solid virtues who can be admired for something more substantial
than his well-knowness often proves to be the unsung hero: the
teacher, the nurse, the mother, the honest cop, the hard worker at
lonely, underpaid, unglamorous, unpublicized jobs."
