Summary:
After his mother dies, Jason moves into an apartment in town, where on weekends he is joined by a woman whom the "town" calls "his friend from Memphis" (340). Jason compares his freedom in this life - in particular, his freedom from the family's black servants - to Abe Lincoln's "emancipation" of the slaves (340).
