One story by this author is set during an early morning carriage ride in which a painter relates how his decision to make  out with Celeste drove his aged English admirer to drown herself in a well. In another of his stories, the limping  Balancoise, the blonde Fernande, and the Jewess Raphaele cry during a First Communion celebration which they take the  day off from brothel-work to attend, much to the chagrin of the townspeople. In another story by this author of "Miss  Harriet," Maitre Hauchecorne is (*) ostracized for stealing money thanks to a harness-maker's lie that the title object, which he  had stooped down to pick up, was a pocketbook. In his most famous story, years of working to pay back Mme. Forestier for a lost  item go to waste after the diamonds in that item, worn by Madame Loisel to a fancy party, are revealed to be fake. For 10 points,  name this author of "Madame Tellier's Establishment," "Piece of String," and "The Necklace," a French short storyist.
