Clarissa

Clarissa

“A touch of the bird about her”
“She loved; life; London”
“She, too, was going that very night to kindle and illuminate; to give her party”
“Did it matter that she must inevitably cease completely?”
“She had the oddest sense of being herself invisible”
“Cold, heartless, a prude”
“She felt very young; at the same time unspeakably aged”
“Far out to see and alone”
“She knew nothing…her only gift was knowing people almost by instinct
“No vulgar jealousy could separate her from Richard”
1. “The shock of Lady Bruton asking Richard to lunch without her”
2. “She had failed him”
“Like a nun withdrawing or a child exploring a tower”
1. “She could not dispel a virginity preserved…”
2. “Narrower and narrower would her bed be”
3. “At midday they must disrobe”
“It was not like one’s feelings for a man…completely disinterested.”
1. “She could not take her eyes off Sally”
2. “Sally it was who made her feel”
3. “This protective feeling was much more on her side than Sally’s”
“Something cold in Clarissa”
“What she liked was simply life”
“Cool, lady-like, critical; or ravishing, romantic…”
