Biography:
Will Varner (sometimes known as Uncle Billy Varner) is a very frequent character in the Yoknapatawpha fictions, where he typically plays a major role in the life of Frenchman's Bend. Here, however, he only appears in passing, as the person who gave Tull the hound that is at the center of the story's plot. (He appears or is mentioned in nine Yoknapatawpha fictions, in two of them as "Uncle Billy," and in seven as "Will.")
Note:
CUT: The man who would like to be sole owner and proprietor of Frenchman's Bend usually dominates (or tries to) in this part of the country, but not in this story.
