Biography: 

The "Negro coachman" drives Colonel Sartoris to the bank every day in a "linen duster and one of the Colonel's old plug hats" (174). This "coachman" is not named in The Mansion, but the details - duster and plug hat - are clear signs that Faulkner is thinking of him as Simon Strother, the coachman who drives Sartoris to and from the bank in Flags in the Dust.
