"Big Ben was beginning to strike, first the warning,musical; then the hour, irrevocable"
(Mrs. Dalloway, 1925)
"Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself. For Lucy had her work cut out of her. The doors would be taken off their hinges; Rumpelmayer's men were coming. And then, thought Clarissa Dalloway, what a morning - fresh as if issued to children on a beach." (Mrs. Dalloway, 1925)
