Summary:
The narrative reflects on both the larger fate of Old Carothers' "doomed and fatal blood" - in particular the lives of his mixed race grandchildren - and his plantation. It looks ahead "six years" to when Lucas Beauchamp will begin appearing in the ledgers that Cass Edmonds keeps, now that the slave system has been replaced by tenant farming. Those entries represent the "chronicle which was a whole land in miniature," the story of "the entire South" (279).
