Summary:
Shreve imagines the lawyer pausing at the thought of Sutpen's "daughter," who seems to suggest to him the way to recoup the money that Bon is spending on "his whores" (241). Note: the chronological discrepancy here between Judith's birth in 1841 and the age Bon would have to be before going to prostitutes (he was only 10 in 1841) cannot be reconciled. [SOURCE: Shreve]
