After Flem sends them to Frenchman's Bend, Byron Snopes' children build "a play house or cave or something in another ditch about a half mile up the road" (387) from Varner's store. "Play house" seems very inappropriate when they tie Clarence Snopes "to a blackjack sapling with something less than a cord of wood stacked around him" and light it on fire (388).

After they are moved to Frenchman's Bend in The Town, the "four half-Snopes half-Apache Indian children" of Byron Snopes have "some kind of play house or cave or something in [a] ditch about a mile up the road" from the Binford house (385); it is where they try to burn Clarence Snopes at the stake (388). When The Mansion refers to this event, it's Doris Snopes that they're trying to burn, and the place is simply described as "a stake in the woods" (328).

Tull's farm is one of the Yoknapatawpha locations that Faulkner moves around to suit the demands of his various fictions; however, it is always near Frenchman's Bend. In this novel it is near Dewitt Binford's home.

Dewitt Binford and his wife, nee Snopes, live "near Varner's store" in Frenchman's Bend (383). That's where Flem Snopes sends children of Byron Snopes and an Apache woman - "the four Snopes Indians or Indian Snopeses, whichever is right" (381) - to stay after their misadventures in Jefferson. The children have a room and a bed, but prefer to drag a "quilt off onto the floor" and lie on it: "the bedstead itself dismantled and leaned against the wall in a corner out of the way" (384).

The four children whom Byron Snopes sent to Jefferson have "a camp or reservation or whatever you might call it in a cave they dug in the big ditch behind the school house" (382).
