Biography:
The woman Lucas Beauchamp is married to 'appears' only once in this story, when the exasperated white man he works for tells Lucas to stay out of his sight: "When you need supplies, send your wife" (237). Her role as Molly and Mollie in other texts, however, gives her a much more important place in the census of Yoknapatawpha.
