[Vwoolf] Mrs Dalloway & geography

[Jeremy Hawthorn]

A colleague who is teaching /Mrs Dalloway/ fired a question inspired 
partly by this useful resource:

http://mrsdallowaymappingproject.weebly.com/septimus-and-rezia.html

As my colleague says, this links Victoria Street to Septimus's place of 
death (point 7), and also suggests that immediately prior to his death 
Septimus can see an omnibus carrying Elizabeth: "During this time, 
Septimus is gazing outside the window of his home and sees the omnibus 
in the distance" (point 6).

But the only textual evidence I can find for this is Septimus's 
consciousness registering that the light and shadow "now made the 
omnibuses bright yellow." And anyway, Elizabeth has got off the (first) 
omnibus now, has "turned back down the Strand", and has mounted 
(presumably another) omnibus. I can't find any evidence that Septimus 
actually sees a specific bus carrying Elizabeth (note the plural, the 
omnibus_es_ are bright yellow).

Or am I missing something?
