[Vwoolf] Help with a quote

[Oliver, Sophie [sophieo]]

Dear Woolf scholars

I wonder if anyone can help me. I’m pretty sure I wrote the following quote down in the Berg, when I was looking at drafts of Anon/The Reader…

'The old clothes in the museums are an attempt at saying something: sharing[stating?] something – [making?] some view of life which is foreign and distant perhaps: an affirmation – '

… But now I find that my notebook is not categorical about the where and what.

I can’t find the quote in Brenda Silver’s edition, and I’m just wondering if it rings any bells with anyone here.

Thanks so much

Sophie
