[Vwoolf] Question

[Mark Hussey]

Favorite question:

"For example, there is the question that always bobs up at the beginning of
term when societies issue their invitations and universities open their
doors--why lecture, why be lectured?"  ("Why?")

Favorite line (don't ask me why!):

"'Good-night, Rebecca,' Mrs. Flanders murmured, and Rebecca called her
ma'am, though they were conspirators plotting the eternal conspiracy of hush
and clean bottles." (_Jacob's Room_)

One of my favourites, too.  Although perhaps it needs modernising:

'And he would write articles, they said, and he would ask one, did one
understand "intertextuality"?  God knows, said Rose, one did not.'

A question and an answer. Always makes me laugh.

"And he would go to picture galleries, they said, and he would ask one, did
one like his tie? God knows, said Rose, one did not."
