<p>Apologies if this has been discussed before. I have been reading
Woolf's two holograph drafts of <i>The Waves</i> in the 1976
Hogarth Press edition transcribed and edited by J. W. Graham. This
is from the second draft, page 587 in Graham's edition: "this is

published edition; does it appear anywhere else in Woolf?</p>
