Round 10: 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, “What is this terror? What is this ecstasy?” a moment before seeing this character and realizing “For there she was.” (10[1])This character (-5[1])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 Sir William Bradshaw. The most exquisite moment (10[1])of this character’s life occurs when a classmate at Bourton kisses her. (10[2])Peter Walsh and Sally Seton gossip (10[1])at a party hosted by this character (10[1])on the same day as Septimus Smith’s (10[1])suicide. For 10 points, name this title character who goes to “buy the flowers herself” in a Virginia Woolf novel. (10[1])■END■ (10[1]0[1])
