Biography:
Mr. Compson tells Quentin about an "aunt" - whom neither of them ever saw - who is locked in what Mr. Compson calls one of those "inexplicable (to the man mind) amicable enmities" with "her nearest female kin" (156). It's possible that this aunt is a "Bascomb" rather than a Compson; Bascomb is Quentin's mother's maiden name.
