Judge Lemuel Stevens is the patriarch of the family that includes his son, Gavin Stevens; daughter, Maggie; her husband, Charlie Mallison; and their son, Chick.

When Gavin sues Manfred de Spain to disrupt Manfred's affair with Eula Snopes, Judge Stevens says to his son, "'So you dont want him not to be mayor . . . Then what is it you do want? for him not to be alive? Is that it?'" (104).
