Summary: 

Shreve interrupts the story to revise it - and apparently to anticipate the meeting between Henry and Sutpen "in 1865" (275). Citing the unreliability of both Quentin's grandfather and father, but no direct evidence, Shreve revises their assertion that Henry saved Bon at Shiloh. [SOURCE: Shreve; Father]
