Summary: 

Bayard returns to the conversation he and Drusilla had in August before his final year of college; he mentions George Wyatt's suggestion that John Sartoris should let Redmond alone, and Drusilla balks at the suggestion, saying, "There are worse things than killing men, Bayard. There are worse things than being killed" (227). Drusilla then looks at Bayard in a way she had not before, which Bayard does not yet understand.
