Summary: 

Later that morning, Manfred de Spain also arrives at Flem Snopes' place and the argument escalates with de Spain confirming what everyone already knew. Flem uses Linda's will to strong-arm Will Varner into helping him force Manfred to resign his presidency of the bank. Ratliff speculates that the situation put Eula in an untenable position that forced her to ask, "If I was a eighteen-year-old gal, which would I rather have: my mother publicly notarised as a suicide, or publicly condemned as a whore?" (162).
