Biography:
Mrs. Littlejohn owns a boarding house in Frenchman's Bend. Ratliff tells the story of her "coming onto the back gallery with an arm full of washing in one hand and the washboard in another" after the auction of the spotted horses and finding a horse on her porch: "she split the washboard down the center of its face and throwed the two pieces at it without even changing hands" (36). (This story is told at more length in the earlier story "Spotted Horses" and the first novel in the Snopes trilogy, The Hamlet.)
