Claire Harman’s biography All Sorts of Lives defends this author against charges of plagiarizing Chekhov’s story “Sleepy” during a hospital stay in Bad Wörishofen. [Bahd Vor-ees-hoh-fen] In an early story by this author, a crowd of “blue men” surround a girl at the beach after she spends an enjoyable day being kidnapped. This (15[1])author, the inspiration for Gudrun in Women in Love, possibly caught fatal tuberculosis from her (-5[1])close friend D.H. (15[1])Lawrence. The (15[1])sentence “And after all the (*) weather was ideal” begins a story by this (10[1])author, in which a girl asks to “stop everything” after learning that a nearby carter was killed by his horse. In that story by this author, Laura (10[1])brings a (10[1])basket of (10[1])leftover cream puffs to the Scott family. For 10 points, name this New Zealand-born author, who wrote “The Garden Party.” (10[1])■END■
