3rd run of color-reduction woodcut: Woolf at Garsington |
June 23, 1919
If I hadn’t had since midday to settle myself, I should still be
twanging & twittering with Garsington.
But parties don’t fluster me as they used. I don’t much care now about the great
question of hair, & doing up dresses; I am resigned to my station among the
badly dressed . . . . Why am I calm and
indifferent as to what people say of Night & Day, and fretful for their
good opinion of my blue dress?
