Biography:
Solon Quick is a Yoknapatawpha farmer who also owns and operates the local school bus, which he "built" himself by adapting a truck (106). On Saturdays he uses it to give the people of Frenchman's Bend rides to and from Jefferson; his wife has to pay the same round-trip fare as everyone else - twenty-five cents.
Note:
In the fictions there are both "Lon Quick" (4 texts) and "Solon Quick" (3 texts, all later). These might be two different names for same character, and Brooks indexes 'him' that way, as 'QUICK, SOLON, 'LON.'" But others (Dasher, Kirk) separate them into two different characters with almost the same name, and that's what we have chosen to do too.
