Unnamed Servants of the Prince of Darkness

In the novel's fantasy of Flem in hell, these minions - the text refers to them only as "they" and "them" (166) - carry messages between their master and Snopes. One of them is individualized as an "old fellow" who "used to dandle the Prince on his knee when the Prince was a boy" (168), but none of them are described. The dialect in which they speak is one that is conventionally identified as lower class and country Southern: Flem's soul, they say, "wasn't no big one to begin with nohow" (166).
