Biography:
Philadelphy is the wife of Loosh. When Loosh choose to follow the Union army toward freedom, she "tries to stop him," as she tells "Miss Rosa" three times (35). She agrees with Rosa that leaving Sartoris leads not to "freedom," as Loosh declares, but to "misery and starvation" (35) - but, she adds reluctantly, "he my husband" (35), so she goes.
