Various members of the Snopes family appear in many of the Yoknapatawpha fictions. In addition to the two, Clarence and Virgil, who appear directly in Sanctuary, the narrative also includes Horace's reference to the family as a group: their origin "somewhere near Frenchman's Bend," the fact that many of them "still live there," and their role as epitomes of the "illiterate race which populated that section of the county" (205).
The various members of the Snopes family appear in many of the Yoknapatawpha fictions. As Horace reminds himself in Sanctuary, the family "originated somewhere near Frenchman's Bend," and many of them "still live there" (205). The exact location of their home place "near" the Bend is never specified, and probably moved around in Faulkner's imagination.
The Grotto employee in charge of the "crap table" (as the narrative calls it, though it is usually referred to as a craps table) is called "the dealer" when he speaks his one line in the novel: "'Eleven,' he said" (240).
