Description: 

All we know for sure about the poorhouse where Old Het lives is that it is "a three-mile walk" from Hait's house in Jefferson (264). But since that's exactly the same distance from Jefferson as the poorhouse in which Old Will Falls lives in Flags in the Dust, and she is black while he is white, it seems possible that "the poorhouse" (249, 264) is one of the very few - perhaps the only - fully integrated space in Yoknapatawpha.
