Two partygoers chat awkwardly as their internal thoughts are revealed, until they find common ground. Read by Emma Fielding.

Fascinated and preoccupied by the idea of this social event, Virginia Woolf wrote this story sequence around the same time as writing the novel Mrs Dalloway.

In each of these three stories, glimpse each character's innermost thoughts and emotions as Woolf depicts the intriguing social world of Mrs Dalloway's party in microscopic detail

This story sees two people introduced at Mrs Dalloway's party who begin a rather awkward conversation where each of their internal thoughts about the other is revealed. Until they hit upon a subject close to both of their hearts.
