Biography:
In Mr. Compson's account of it, Bon's initiation of Henry into the sophisticated world of New Orleans begins with his exposure to the elegant people riding in the city streets: "women, enthroned . . . like painted portraits" and "men in linen a little finer and diamonds a little brighter" than anything Henry had seen before (88). This entry includes the "elegant shapes of young men trim predatory and (at the moment) goatlike" that Henry sees in the auction house Bon takes him to (89).
