<p class="MsoNormal">“In the morning, Emmy went off to the Rue du Rivoli. Although, with her slender packet of travellers’ cheques, she could do no more than lick the windows of the shops - as the French put it so vividly - still she was adamant that this was
an admirable way to spend a couple of hours. ‘I don’t need to buy anything,’ she she explained to Henry. ‘I just look. It gives me a whole new feeling about fashion. As Virginia Woolf said, it refreshes the eye.’”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Google located the following from “Taylors and Edgeworths” in
<i>The Common Reader</i>:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“And so back and so forwards, he paces eternally the fields of Sussex until, grown to an extreme old age, there he sits in his Rectory thinking of Newman, thinking of Miss Biffen, and making - it is his great consolation - string bags for
missionaries. And then? Go on looking. Nothing much happens. But the dim light is exquisitely refreshing to the eyes.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s not a very satisfactory match. Is there a better Woolf source?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As is often the case, I learned something while searching; that “missionary bag” is a standard term. “Missionary string bag” less so; Google does give some hits, although the accompanying pictures are not of string bags.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now that plastic carrier bags are frowned on or banned, the string bags I remember from the 1950s in the UK may make a modest come-back.<o:p></o:p></p>
