Biography: 

A "drummer" is a traveling salesman. This "drummer," described as a "youngish city man with city ways," sees Eula when he finds himself in Frenchman's Bend "by accident" and tries to court her, one time wearing "the first white flannel trousers Frenchman's Bend ever saw" (147). The same pair of "ice cream pants" are "ruined" after the local suitors drive him away (147).
