[Vwoolf] "Jacob's Room": crux #5

[Stuart N. Clarke]

Leaving DHL aside, anyone ever seen a party globe that crushed to powder?  Where do I look?

“Florinda, taking one of the purplish globes that lay on the table, flung it straight at his head. It crushed to powder.”
“Florinda, taking one of the purplish globes that lay on the table, flung it straight at his head. It crushed to powder.”
this incident may have been inspired by D.H. Lawrence’s Women in Love (1920 USA; 1921 UK), in which Lawrence incorporates Lady Ottoline as Hermione Roddice. VW read Women in Love as she was writing JR, ‘lured on by the portrait of Ottoline [. . .] She has just smashed Lawrence’s head open with a ball of lapis lazuli – but then balls are smashed on every other page’ (L2 474).
