One of the articles assures the reader that the film 'isn?t an actual adaptation of her short story'. Now that I'd like to see. I often wonder why we don't hear more readings of the stories on the radio.<br />

I read a review of the film A Ghost Story that seems to indicate that Woolf's "A Haunted House" is a touchstone at the beginning of the film (a book falls open to the opening page of the story). However, I haven't seen it yet - it looks intriguing, given another visual reference is the ghost from Charlie Brown's Halloween special.<br />

Just re-reading VW's Introductory Letter to Margaret Llewelyn Davies' Life As We Have Known It (Virago, 1982 ed.) <br />
Woolf is 'looking at' Mrs Thomas, Mrs Langrish and Miss Bolt of Hebden Bridge. 'They were worth looking at':<br />
'Certainly, there were no armchairs, or electric light, or hot water laid on in their lives; no Greek hills or Mediterranean bays in their dreams. Bakers and butchers did not call for orders. They did not sign a cheque to pay the weekly bills, or order, over the telephone, a cheap but quite adequate seat at the opera' (p.xxiii).<br />

This is from Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford's The<br />
Inheritors (1901).<br />
<br />
One day, indeed, the matter was brought<br />
home to me by the receipt from Polehampton of bills instead of<br />
my usual cheques. I had a good deal of trouble in cashing the<br />
things; indeed, people seemed to look askance at them. <br />
<br />
<br />
>From the SOED I gather that a "bill" in this context is the<br />
equivalent of a promissory note. But how did such a bill work?<br />
Incidentally, the writer/narrator is in Paris, so the assumption<br />
seems to be that a cheque or bill written in England could be<br />
cashed in France. It was not so when I grew up.<br />
<br />
I write this two days after telling a US publisher that it's not<br />
much use sending me a check, as no-one uses them in Norway any<br />
more. The last one I wrote here was about a decade ago I think,<br />
and my local bank charges 400 kroner (about 60 US dollars) to cash<br />
a US check.<br />

When I went to open a bank a/c in 1966 with the<br />

reference. I replied: ?I believe my [half-]brother works<br />
for your bank.?<br />

(I?ve suddenly remembered something irrelevant but<br />
comparable. A friend of mine did Art History under Quentin<br />
Bell at Leeds. He applied for a job at the ?Daily Mail?. <br />
?What school did you go to?? My friend emigrated to<br />
Australia.)<br />

<br />
Back to cheques. In ?Zuleika Dobson?, when the Duke of<br />
Dorset gives his landlady a cheque (presumably made out to<br />
CASH), he encourages her to go that day to the bank to cash<br />
it, for she wouldn?t be able to cash it the following day in<br />
view of his imminent suicide.<br />

Of course, I haven?t seen the book, but I wonder about this:<br />
<br />
?A child?s voice in ?Jacob?s Room,? disrupting a painter trying to paint, originates in the irritating children outside Woolf?s own window.?<br />
<br />
L1 345 (1908) seems too early; D1 152 (1918) is not especially convincing ? unless I?ve missed something somewhere else.<br />
<br />
And this:<br />
<br />
?After the war, Virginia Woolf claimed to have ?burst out laughing? at the sound of Tennyson.?<br />
<br />
It must be referring to 1929, in ?Room?.<br />
