The War was over, except for some one like Mrs. Foxcroft at the Embassy last night, eating her heart out because that nice boy was killed and now the old Manor House must go to a cousin; or Lady Bexborough who opened a bazaar, they said, with the telegram in her hand, John, her favorite, killed; but it was over; thank Heaven—over. —Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway The War was over, however her war against pneumonia was far from over since she was having shortness of breath whenever she rushed up the street to their house following the flurry of skirts her friends wearing, nor she would be going top back to school after losing a year at the hospital, her mother said otherwise but Nihal thought it would be shameful to join younger students in her former school; no the war wasn’t over, it just changed shape.
