Summary: 

The narrator completes his account of Ratliff's experience and social change by using the growth toward "puberty and even manhood" of the "boy children" who were named after the organs he sold (87). As another marker of change, he refers to the impact of technological progress and World War II on Yoknaptawpha's population. Ratliff's character, however, is exempt from "alteration" (87).
