Wearing an expression of "harried desperation," she sits with Harry Mitchell at the Chicago nightclub where (unrecognized by Harry) Young Bayard agrees to fly the experimental airplane. It seems that after getting Harry drunk, she steals his diamond tiepin; when the waiter apparently tries to stop her, her voice rises "with a burst of filthy rage into a shrill hysterical scream" (388).
The "lank, goose-necked man with a huge pistol strapped to his thigh" to whom, at the end of the novel, Horace gives the letter he has written to Narcissa back in Jefferson (374).
This is the raiding party of Confederate cavalrymen that General J.E.B. Stuart recklessly leads behind Union lines in quest of coffee; they are described in mythic terms as riding "with the thunderous coordination of a single centaur" (14).
One of the South's main commanders throughout the Civil War, after 1863 he had charge of the Department of the West, where Mississippi was. He is mentioned (as "Joe Johnston") in Will Falls' story about Zeb Fothergill's prowess as a war-time horse thief.
He does not appear in the novel, but is mentioned by name in one of Will Falls' stories about the Civil War. A planter and slave trader before the war, he served in the western theater, rising through the ranks from private to general. Falls suggests how raggedy is one group of horses that Zeb Fothergill stole from the Yankees by saying that not even "Nate Forrest would . . . have 'em" (230). Accused of war crimes during the war, and the founder of the Ku Klux Klan after it, he is nonetheless idolized by many of Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha veterans.
While Grant does not personally appear in the novel, he commands the Union forces who do appear in Mississippi, and Will Falls mentions him by name in the second of the two stories he tells about those "times back in sixty-three and -fo'" (228).
When Will Falls begins the novel by re-telling Old Bayard the story about the time the Yankee patrol chased Colonel Sartoris away from his plantation, he reminds Bayard that among the people living there was "yo' aunt, the one 'fo' Miss Jenny come" (22). According to Falls' story, she is "a full-blood Sartoris," but this is the only time Faulkner's fiction mentions her existence. (In The Unvanquished, Faulkner's later stories about the Sartorises during the Civil War, the female relative who lives at Sartoris is Rosa Millard, John's mother-in-law and Bayard's grandmother.)
Either Hub's daughter or, less likely, his sister. She does not appear in the narrative, but he tells his wife that Sue will "have to milk" the cow because he is going to town with Bayard and Suratt (138).
