        <ptr target="ukred-17839">Virginia Woolf to Vita Sackville-West, 24 May 1931:

"I"ve wasted 4 days when I wanted to write. And I"ve spent them partly reading Princess Daisy 
of Pless, speculating upon her real character and life and longing for a full account of them 
from you -- who appear in a footnote as a distinguished author. What a chance the British 
aristocracy had and lost -- I mean if they"d only grafted brains on to those splendid bodies and 
wholesome minds -- for I can"t help liking her, in her wild idiocy, and her frankness ""7 days 
late -- can it be a child --"" seems to me the highest human quality, if it werent [sic] combined 
with a housemaids [sic] sensibility and the sentimentality of a Surbiton cook."
