Grimms' Farm (Location Key)

Code: 
858
Description: 

In "Lizards in Jamshyd's Courtyard" Eustace Grimm and his wife own "a right smart of land" in "the adjoining county" (149, 147). The story doesn't name or locate that county, but characters refer to it as "down there" (148) and "down yonder" (149) - which we interpret to mean 'south of Yoknapatawpha.' When Faulkner revised this story for inclusion in The Hamlet, Grimm and his wife still live "ten or twelve miles away in the next county," but now as tenant farmers on someone else's land (149).
