Description: 

Although characters live in a number of Jefferson boarding houses throughout the Yoknapatawpha fictions, "Mrs. Cowan's," where both Hawkshaw and Mitch Ewing live, only appears in this one story (142). Faulkner's boarding houses are typically run by women, but only provide room and board to single men.
