Biography: 

When he leaves Ruby at the ramshackle house, Horace tells her that she can "always get [him] by telephone, at ------," giving her "the name of a neighbor" that the narrative withholds from us (201). This is that neighbor. (In Flags in the Dust the Benbows' neighbors are named Wyatt; there's no obvious reason for Faulkner's coyness about the neighbor in this novel.)
