Biography: 

Although the narrator of "Centaur in Brass" says "we" often saw Mrs. Snopes working in her husband's restaurant, he later suggests that most of the customers there were men from the surrounding countryside. Major Hoxey eats there, but he looks out of place "among the collarless shirts and the overalls and the grave, country-eating faces" of the other diners (151).

Note: 
TMT: I think there's a strong presumption that these are men because the narrator doesn't seem to talk to women, but he does say that "everyone" thought the same thing about Hoxey, Flem, and Mrs. Snopes. alludes to a variety of customers in Flem Snopes's restaurant who note the beginnings of Flem's ambitious rise in the town's social structure. They feel that his wife (and her rumored affair with the future mayor, Hoxey) is "the mainspring of his rise and luck" (150).
