I'm trying to locate a passage by Virginia Woolf
in which she describes the 'Angel in the House', whom the woman writer has to
destroy - it goes something like 'she was intensely sympathetic' and delineates
her unselfish and self-denying behaviour, e.g. 'if there was a draught, she sat
in it'. It's not, as I first thought, in _A Room of One's Own_ and I think it
may be in one of her essays.
Thanks for any suggestions
on this one.
