Site where Ratliff Meets Flem (Location Key)

This is where V.K. Ratliff meets with Flem Snopes to negotiate the purchase of the Old Frenchman's place in The Hamlet. To keep that conversation a secret, Ratliff takes a roundabout way to get here: from the Bend he drives up the road that "turns off to McCaslin's farm," three miles along a "winding and little-used lane," and a mile toward Jefferson on the "highroad" to a spot two miles from the hamlet (390).
