For Harold to worry about her relationship with Virginia was ‘simply laughable’, she reassured him. Love for Virginia was a very different thing to love for Violet – ‘a mental thing, a spiritual thing if you like, an intellectual thing, and she inspires a feeling of tenderness which I suppose is because of her funny mixture of hardness and softness – the hardness of her mind, and her terror of going mad again.’ Vita felt protective – besides being flattered, as she frankly said, by Virginia’s love. She was, moreover, ‘scared to death of arousing physical feelings in her, because of the madness. I don’t know what effect it would have, you see: and that is a fire with which I have no wish to play.’
