Summary: 

By the "winter of '64" the army has retreated almost to Carolina, getting closer to the corps in which Sutpen's regiment serves (276); thinking of that, Bon realizes that he still doesn't know what he wants or will do. The text suggests this italicized re-presentation of the past (through page 279) is the result of a merging of present and past, Quentin and Shreve in 1910 and Bon and Henry in 1865 - "the two the four the two," etc. (276) [SOURCE: Bon-Henry-Quentin-Shreve]
