<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=LPlnk811654 class=OWAAutoLink
