For 10 points, name this author of Between the Acts and Orlando, as well as To the Lighthouse.
A character created by this novelist crushes a snake which is trying to swallow a toad, getting blood all over his shoes. That character, Giles, appears along with Mrs. Manresa and Lucy Swithin in a novel in which the music wails the phrase "Dispersed are we" repeatedly in the first intermission of a pageant on English history, which ends with Miss La Trobe turning mirrors on the audience. Another of her creations worries what his friends will think of the fact that his father is a banker in Brisbane. She wrote a novel whose title character has a love affair with the Russian princess Sasha, is appointed British ambassador to Constantinople, and writes a long poem called The Oak Tree; that character, based on Vita Sackville-West, becomes a woman halfway through the novel.
