"She looked up Fleet Street." (137)
Fleet Street is a place in England where there are a lot of shops. Not only does Woolf add more London character to the novel by mention this famous street, but she also makes a reference that is familiar to readers. In Heart of Darkness, (71) Marlow talks about walking down Fleet Street. By making a reference that is familiar to most readers, Woolf makes you feel as though you know exactly where she is talking about. She also enriches her text by adding other small touches of everyday life in London.
