Yes, a wonderful passage, one that displays how for Woolf self-analysis can have a thoroughly ethical dynamic. She steps back and distances herself from her immediate reaction to the two girls (I’ll use her term), categorizing it as “instinct,” and implying
that it is this instinct that leads her to see them as “angular, awkward and assertive.” We find this same process of fixing on an emotional state and then attempting to trace their roots in
<i>Mrs Dalloway</i> when Clarissa suddenly asks herself: “But – but – why did she suddenly feel, for no reason that she could discover, desperately unhappy?” She searches her memory for interactions with various characters and finally locates the source in
the criticism levelled at her parties by Richard and Peter (Page 133 in the Hogarth ed).</div>

What can we add to, or what lies behind, Woolf’s “instinct” and her response to the two tramping girls? Top of the list is social class. “City clerks or secretaries”: in other words, I assume, lower middle class. What causes Woolf to so categorize the girls?
Perhaps their clothing. I’m not an expert on the history of female dress, but I assume that at this time “short skirts” could be rather lower than we might assume today; perhaps knee-length, but certainly shorter than Woolf herself would be wearing in public.</div>

Her assumption seems to be that working-class girls would not be backpacking and neither would posh, upper-class girls. Her chosen adjectives are hardly in themselves pejorative, rather the opposite: “resolute, sunburnt, dusty”; “angular, awkward and self-assertive.”
But attached to a city clerk or secretary they suggest an independence and will that are worrying when associated with girls of this social class. In the first half of the twentieth century walking for pleasure was an activity very much associated with advanced
views on such matters as the nature and role of women, and with unconventional dress. A key word was the word “tramp,” used where today “hike” or “backpack” might be expected.</div>

“Little Fyne’s marriage was quite successful. There was no design at all in it. Fyne, you must know, was an enthusiastic pedestrian. He spent his holidays tramping all over our native land. His tastes were simple. He put infinite conviction and perseverance
into his holidays. At the proper season you would meet in the fields, Fyne, a serious-faced, broad-chested, little man, with a shabby knap-sack on his back, making for some church steeple. He had a horror of roads. He wrote once a little book called the ‘Tramp’s
Itinerary,’ and was recognised as an authority on the footpaths of England. So one year, in his favourite over-the-fields, back-way fashion he entered a pretty Surrey village where he met Miss Anthony. Pure accident, you see. They came to an understanding,
across some stile, most likely. Little Fyne held very solemn views as to the destiny of women on this earth, the nature of our sublunary love, the obligations of this transient life and so on. He probably disclosed them to his future wife. Miss Anthony’s views
of life were very decided too but in a different way.”</div>

What is fine about Woolf’s diary passage is the manner in which she uncovers the social and cultural prejudices that lie behind her condemnation of the two girls, then resists and rejects it. (Conrad, in contrast, mocks where Woolf indulges in self-criticism
and attempts to expose and reject her cultural prejudices.)</div>

Thanks, Anne and Jeremy, what a lovely passage, reminiscent of summer. With your help I've pinpointed this to 31 July (<i>D</i>3 104), a composite entry with several subheadings: these lines are under 'Wandervögeln', which was apparently a German youth movement
(trans. as 'migratory birds'). The <i>OED </i>online says:</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br>
</div>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The earliest known use of the noun Wandervogel [singular] is in the 1920s.<br>
<br>
OED's earliest evidence for Wandervogel is from 1928, in the writing of D. H. Lawrence, writer.</div>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
But of course VW's use of the plural beats this by two years. And presumably the term was in common use in Germany long before either of them.</div>

<div>“Two resolute, sunburnt, dusty girls in jerseys and short skirts, with packs on their backs, city clerks, or secretaries, tramping along the road in the hot sunshine at Ripe. My instinct at once throws up a screen, which condemns them: - think them in
every way angular, awkward and self. assertive. But all this is a great mistake. These screens shut me out. Have no screens, for screens are made out of our own in-tegument; and get at the thing itself, which has nothing whatever in common with a screen. The
screen-making habit, though, is so universal that probably it preserves our sanity. If we had not this device for shutting people off from our sympathies we might perhaps dissolve utterly; separateness would be impossible. But the screens are in the excess;
not the sympathy.”— 1926</div>

<div style="direction: ltr;">Good morning, Woolfians, </div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">I have a recollection of a diary entry (or perhaps a letter) where Woolf encounters a couple young women tramping with rucksacks, but I can’t find it nor can I even figure out how it would be indexed.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Does this ring a bell? Can you point me in the right direction?</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Thank you,</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Anne</div>
