Description:
Hamp and his wife live near the dilapidated Worsham house where their white employer, Belle Worsham, "lives alone" (260). They they help Miss Worsham raise chickens and vegetables. The white family once owned the ancestors of the black couple as slaves, so it's likely that - as with Dilsey at the Compsons' or Paralee at the Stevenses - Hamp and his wife life in a cabin behind the big house.
