Cambridge Inset: Jeweler (Location Key)

Quentin Compson takes his broken watch into a Boston jeweler's in The Sound and the Fury, but he seems more interested in the "dozen watches" in the store window, each set to a different time and "contradicting one another" (85). Looking at one of them, with its "hands extended slightly off the horizontal," he chooses the time that evening when he will commit suicide - about 9:15.
