Sitting at little tables round vases, dressed or not dressed, with their shawls and bags laid beside them, with their air of false composure, for they were not used to so many courses at dinner; and confidence for they were able to pay for it; and strain, for they had been running about London all day shopping, sightseeing; and their natural curiosity, for they looked round and up as the nice-looking gentleman in horn-rimmed spectacles came in; and their good nature, for they would have been glad to do any little service, such as lend a timetable or impart useful information; and their desire, pulsing in them, tugging at them subterraneously, somehow to establish connections if it were only a birthplace (Liverpool, for example), in common or friends of the same name; with their furtive glances, odd silences, and sudden withdrawals into family jocularity and isolation; there they sat eating dinner when Mr Walsh came in and took his seat at a little table by the curtain.»

I enjoyed the reading of this small piece so much!
I am very fond of Virginia Wolf!Everything in her stories is so deep, so toucnhing! One should read her stories slowly, stop and reflect...
And her descriptive power is very strong!
Gostei imenso do filme "The Hours", inspirado neste livro. E penso que "Mrs Dalloway" é uma obra fundamental.
"Mrs Dalloway": livro fabuloso! Virginia Woolf: adoro a escrita dela!
"As Horas": livro e filme espantosos também. É bom viver!
sou grande fan de Woolf - tive os diários muitos anos como livro de cabeceira - porquê? não sei...talvez o ambiente de gente amante das letras e artes, visto de fora e à distância...
abraços
