Round 11: Tossup 3

A man observes that this character has “that gift still; to be; to exist” at an event where this character reunites with an old friend who repeatedly brags about her “five enormous boys.” That man wonders, (10[1]-5[1])“What is this terror? What is this ecstasy?” a moment before seeing this character and realizing “For there she was.” This character watches an old lady go to bed as the clock strikes three and feels a connection to a man who had been treated by the psychiatrist (10[1])Sir William Bradshaw. The most exquisite moment of this character’s life occurs when a (10[1])classmate (10[1])at Bourton kisses her. (10[1])Peter Walsh and (10[1])Sally Seton (10[1])gossip at a party hosted by this character on the same day as Septimus Smith’s suicide. For 10 points, name this title character who goes to “buy (10[1])the flowers herself” in a Virginia Woolf novel. ■END■ (10[1])
