Biography:
Caddy Compson is described by her older brother Quentin simply as "a girl"; he gives that as the reason she spends most of the story offstage, fishing with their younger brother Jason at "the creek" on the farm (343). But the detail that Quentin provides at the end, when he notices that "she was wet to the waist" (360), may remind readers of The Sound and the Fury of the major role Caddy plays in that novel, which was published in 1929, two years before the story.
