"Two floors and a garden in the West Village! They are rich, of course; obscenely rich by the world's standards; but not rich rich, not New York City rich" (Cunningham, 91).
The West Village is a section of Manhattan that is known to be home to some of the wealthiest people in America.Clarissa is expressing how that she has been fortunate, but perhaps not yet achieved the American dream. Mrs. Dalloway was placed in London England, so it is interesting that Cunningham decided to add another element to his novel that wasn't present in Woolf's.
