Description: 

The second slave cabin at the Sartoris plantation is occupied by Loosh and his wife Philadelphy. It is probably not far from the one lived in by Joby and Louvinia (Loosh's father and mother) - unless you measure the distance politically. While Loosh's parents are intensely loyal to the white family that owns them, Loosh wants to be free, which is why Colonel John Sartoris Louvinia to "watch Loosh" (21), and why Bayard and Ringo spend several nights outside this cabin watching Loosh too. One night they see Loosh leaving the cabin to go in the direction of Corinth, apparently in search of information about the approach of the Union army.
