Quentin gets in a fight with this boy when he threatened to put a frog in a girl's - or possibly the teacher's - desk. He tells Mr. Compson, though, that "He was as big as me" (67).

According to what Quentin tells his father, these "teachers" break up the fight at school between him and another boy (67).

Dilsey refers to someone she calls "pappy" when she threatens Luster: "You just wait till your pappy come home" (59). This is the novel's only reference to the man who is Luster's father. In the account of the Compsons and the Gibsons that Faulkner wrote 16 years after The Sound and the Fury was published - most familiarly known as "Appendix: Compsons" - Faulkner says that Frony "married a pullman porter and went to St Louis to live" (343).
