...Passed the Sumners bill which would give the U. S. Attorney General power to intervene in Federal District Courts in private law suits where the constitutionality of acts of Congress is challenged, and appeal directly to the U. S.

In Virginia Woolf's plotless pattern there seems to be an inkling, a suggestion, a flash, of what time may mean. The effectiveness of her method, which she has been evolving for 15 years, is that it gives the reader this feeling of being abroad in space and time. The sense of time elapsing which the discontinuous "action" of the story gives is further deepened whenever the clock strikes and the years move on, in scenes...
