The section begins with Mrs Ramsay assuring her son James that they should be able to visit the lighthouse on the next day. Her visits with her parents and family to St Ives, Cornwall, where her father rented a house, were perhaps the happiest times of Woolf's life, but when she was thirteen her mother died and, like Mr. Ramsay, her father Leslie Stephen plunged into gloom and self-pity. Although in the novel the Ramsays are able to return to the house on Skye after the war, the Stephens had given up Talland House by that time.
