<p>Below is a guide to living in Bloomsbury (if you can afford it). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The article uses the contested moniker Bloomsbury Set (not Group) and also
garbles the phrase regarding those delightful Bloomsberries who "lived in
squares, painted in circles, and loved in triangles," a phrase that Dorothy
Parker did <i>not</i> devise. The article says that the Group members "lived in
<i>houses</i>" (as opposed to tents, perhaps?)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I may have said this on the VW listserve before, but it's worth saying again
that the original version of that phrase seems to have been coined by Margaret
Irwin. Kingsley <span style="FONT-SIZE:12pt">Martin indicates in the piece he
wrote on 20 March 1941 for the “Critic’s London Diary” in the New Statesman
that: “Certainly it is no longer what Margaret Irwin used to describe in
the twenties as the place where ‘all the couples were triangles and lived in
squares’” (94). (see <a id="m_1090476032126584690LPlnk811654" class="m_1090476032126584690OWAAutoLink" href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.english.usage/ArJIaqXzADM" target="_blank">https://groups.google.com/<wbr>forum/#!topic/alt.english.<wbr>usage/ArJIaqXzADM</a>).
