Notes:
Do we need to add Vernon Tull here (384)? Clarence Snopes's mother (388)?--LW TMT: Yes. Done. Thanks!
TMT: Lorie and I decided that the children arrive in the July after the installation of Eula's medallion in October 1927: "One morning--it was summer again now, July," Chick says (376); Flem is "busy being a banker now and a deacon in the Baptist church, living in solitary widowerhood in the old De Spain house which he had remodeled into an ante-bellum Southern mansion" (377). We decided this was a movement forward in time rather than a flashback.
Summary:
Ratliff tells Gavin and Chick that Bryon Snopes's children are at the train station, waiting to be shipped back to their father.
