Hyde Park Gate News, family magazine produced by Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell, 1891-1892. Page of a magazine by Vanessa Stephen (afterwards Bell, painter) and her sister Adeline Virginia Stephen (afterwards Woolf, novelist). '...cut his cake but in such big slices that Mrs. Stephen thought it advisable to take the knife. Miss Stillman got up some charades after tea which were most amusing and were heartily applauded especially the scene where Mr. Gerald Duckworth poked Mr. Hills with a javelin. Already the cries of the children upon the lawn were making themselves heard when the charades ended. The children were super-exuberant...On Saturday morning Master Hilary Hunt and Master Basil Smith came up to Talland House and asked Master Thoby and Miss Virginia Stephen to accompany them to the light-house as Freeman the boatman said that there was a perfect tide and wind for going there. Master Adrian Stephen was much disappointed at not being allowed to go. On arriving at the light-house Miss Virginia Stephen saw a small and dilapidated bird standing on one leg on the light-house. Mrs. Hunt called the man and asked him how it had got there. He said that it had been blown there and they then saw that its eyes had been picked out. On the way home Master Basil Smith "spued like fury".
