One of this author's characters thinks: "By heaven, it hurts, it hurts!" just after seeing off a pregnant woman taking a train back to her husband's house. In a different story by her, that character addresses an apostrophe to the "Night of south winds--night of the few stars! / Still nodding night!," inflaming the passion of Mrs. Garoda, who sits next to him on a park bench. That character created by this author bears witness to a woman shattering a wine glass in her effort to stop Victor from singing (*) "Ah! Si tu sauvais!" at a party thrown to celebrate her move into a "pigeon house." The character of Gouvernail appears in this author's stories "Athénaïse" and "A Respectable Woman," as well as in a novel whose protagonist befriends the old pianist Mademoiselle Reisz, whose words she recalls as she strips off her bathing suit and wades into the Gulf of Mexico. For 10 points, name this author who wrote about the married life of Edna Pointellier in The Awakening.
