said his mother tried to make him give rowing up and do something else the
rest of his class couldn't or wouldn't do, but for once he was stubborn. If
you could call it stubbornness, sitting in his attitudes of princely boredom,
with his curly yellow hair and his violet eyes and his eyelashes and his New
York clothes, while his mamma was telling us about Gerald's horses and
Gerald's niggers and Gerald's women. Husbands and fathers in Kentucky must
have been awful glad when she carried Gerald off to Cambridge. She had an
apartment over in town, and Gerald had one there too, besides his rooms in
college. She approved of Gerald associating with me because I at least
revealed a blundering sense of noblesse oblige by getting myself born below
Mason and Dixon, and a few others whose Geography met the requirements
(minimum). Forgave, at least. Or condoned. But since she met Spoade coming out
of chapel one He said she couldn't be a lady no lady would be out at that hour
of the night she never had been able to forgive him for having five names,
including that of a present English ducal house. I'm sure she solaced herself
by being convinced that some misfit Maingault or Mortemar had got mixed up
with the lodge-keeper's daughter. Which was quite probable, whether she
invented it or not. Spoade was the world's champion sitter-around, no holds
barred and gouging discretionary.
The shell was a speck now, the oars catching the sun in spaced glints, as
if the hull were winking itself along him along. Did you ever have a sister,
No but they're all bitches.Did you ever have a sister? One minute she was.
Bitches. Not bitch one minute she stood in the door Dalton Ames. Dalton
Ames. Dalton Shirts. I thought all the time they were khaki, army issue khaki,
until I saw they were of heavy Chinese silk or finest flannel because they
made his face so brown his eyes so blue. Dalton Ames. It just missed
gentility. Theatrical fixture. Just papier-mache, then touch. Oh. Asbestos.
Not quite bronze.But wont see him at the house.
Caddy's a woman too remember. She must do things for women's reasons too.
Why wont you bring him to the house, Caddy? Why must you do like nigger
women do in the pasture the ditches the dark woods hot hidden furious in the
dark woods.
And after a while I had been hearing my watch for some time and I could
feel the letters crackle through my coat, against the railing, and I leaned on
the railing, watching my shadow, how I had tricked it. I moved along the rail,
but my suit was dark too and I could wipe my hands, watching my shadow, how I
had tricked it. I walked it into the shadow of the quad. Then I went east.
Harvard my Harvard boy Harvard harvard That pimple-faced infant she met at
the field-meet with colored ribbons. Skulking along the fence trying to
whistle her out like a puppy. Because they couldn't cajole him into the
diningroom Mother believed he had some sort of spell he was going to cast on
her when he got her alone. Yet any blackguard He was lying beside the box
under the window bellowing that could drive up in a limousine with a
flower in his buttonhole.Harvard. Quentin this is Herbert. My Harvard boy.

O yes I knew it was somewhere in the country.

I did. That's how I ruined my eyes watering the elephant's fleas.Three
times These country girls. You cant ever tell about them, can you. Well,
anyway Byron never had his wish, thank God.But not hit a man in glasses
Aren't you even going to open it? It lay on the table a candle burning at
each corner upon the envelope tied in a soiled pink garter two artificial
flowers. Not hit a man in glasses.
Country people poor things they never saw an auto before lots of them
honk the horn Candace so She wouldn't look at me they'll get out of the
way wouldn't look at me your father wouldn't like it if you were to
injure one of them I'll declare your father will simply have to get an auto
now I'm almost sorry you brought it down Herbert I've enjoyed it so much of
course there's the carriage but so often when I'd like to go out Mr Compson
has the darkies doing something it would be worth my head to interrupt he
insists that Roskus is at my call all the time but I know what that means I
know how often people make promises just to satisfy their consciences are you
going to treat my little baby girl that way Herbert but I know you wont
Herbert has spoiled us all to death Quentin did I write you that he is going
to take Jason into his bank when Jason finishes high school Jason will make a
splendid banker he is the only one of my children with any practical sense you
can thank me for that he takes after my people the others are all
Compson Jason furnished the flour. They made kites on the back porch and sold
them for a nickel a piece, he and the Patterson boy. Jason was treasurer.
There was no nigger in this car, and the hats unbleached as yet flowing
past under the window. Going to Harvard. We have sold Benjy's He lay on the
ground under the window, bellowing. We have sold Benjy's pasture so that
Quentin may go to Harvard a brother to you. Your little brother.
You should have a car it's done you no end of good dont you think so
Quentin I call him Quentin at once you see I have heard so much about him from
Candace.
Why shouldn't you I want my boys to be more than friends yes Candace and
Quentin more than friends Father I have committed what a pity you had no
brother or sister No sister no sister had no sister Dont ask Quentin he
and Mr Compson both feel a little insulted when I am strong enough to come
down to the table I am going on nerve now I'll pay for it after it's all over
and you have taken my little daughter away from me My little sister had
no. If I could say Mother. Mother
Unless I do what I am tempted to and take you instead I dont think Mr
Compson could overtake the car.
Ah Herbert Candace do you hear that She wouldn't look at me soft
stubborn jaw-angle not back-looking You needn't be jealous though it's just
an old woman he's flattering a grown married daughter I cant believe it.
Nonsense you look like a girl you are lots younger than Candace color in
your cheeks like a girl A face reproachful tearful an odor of camphor and of
tears a voice weeping steadily and softly beyond the twilit door the
twilight-colored smell of honeysuckle. Bringing empty trunks down the attic
stairs they sounded like coffins French Lick. Found not death at the salt lick
Hats not unbleached and not hats. In three years I can not wear a hat. I
could not. Was. Will there be hats then since I was not and not Harvard then.
Where the best of thought Father said clings like dead ivy vines upon old dead
brick. Not Harvard then. Not to me, anyway. Again. Sadder than was. Again.
Saddest of all. Again.
Spoade had a shirt on; then it must be. When I can see my shadow again if
