252.6 “How delightful to see you!” In
her 1919 essay, “The Royal Academy,” Woolf describes an unidentified portrait
of a woman in full evening dress: “She stands at the top of a staircase… about
to greet someone of distinction who advances towards her up the stairs. Not a
hair is out of place. Her lips are just parted. She is about to say, ‘How nice
of you to come!’” (E 3.89).
