The Duke of York, whose escapades in times past with Mrs. Clarke and the army had brought him into trouble, now divided his life between London and a large, extravagantly ordered and extremely uncomfortable country house where he busied himself with racing, whist, and improper stories.
Lytton Strachey, The Victorians

I watched 'Carrington' the other week. It is one of the most moving films. Lytton Strachey: one very good reason to love the Bloomsberries again!
Lytton certainly did wry better than Virginia!
On the Bloomsbury note, have you read Between the Acts? Very odd book.
