The Millennial MarinerStream of Consciousness in Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway (part 2)Jace continues reading Mrs. Dalloway. In this reading, Peter Walsh returns to London after being in India and visits Clarissa, both reminisce on old times (in their own minds of course), and we get a scene of Peter chasing after a woman who is neither his wife nor the woman he is divorcing his wife to marry.
