Wise nature, oh you! Brilliant, brilliant interpretations. I cannot help but agree! When Miss. Kilman first came into the story, you know, I felt sorry for her. Her negative thoughts and judgements of our Dear Dalloway tore me away from her. But it was also … say, human, to have such thoughts, such misunderstandings of… View More
