Biography:
The man who comes to Yoknapatawpha to sell Lucas Beauchamp a metal detector is "young, not yet thirty, with the assurance, the slightly soiled snap and dash, of his calling" (76). When he falls for Lucas' story about buried treasure, he ends up renting the machine from Lucas to search for the money on his own. Just who has sold whom is suggested when the novel brings the two men face to face: "the shrewd, suddenly attentive face of the young white man, the absolutely expressionless face of the Negro" (80).
