"For the mention of India, or even Ceylon...became blue...but here was Peter" (178).
Virginia Woolf describes Aunt Helena as having an eye that turns blue whenever "India, or even Ceylon" is mentioned. Blue is a color that beholds many meanings. Each shade of blue represents a different definition, like indigo blue stands for wisdom or spiritual realization. Because Virginia Woolf describes this lady's eye as blue, she could either be implying to the reader that this lady was saddened upon hearing about India, or she had learned a lot and was full of knowledge. Either way, the color blue is apparent and Virginia Woolf used that color to portray the lady as having some higher emotion.
