Biography: 

The drugstore in Jefferson appears in many of the Yoknapatawpha fictions, but it is not identified with an owner with any consistency. So the pharmacist who is at lunch when Dewey Dell walks into the drugstore in this novel, whom MacGowan refers to as "the old man" and "the old bastard" has to remain unnamed (242, 247). He clearly does not know about MacGowan's unethical behavior.
