SartorissInSY

"Miss Jenny" - as Mrs. Virginia Sartoris Du Pre is referred to throughout this novel - is confined to a wheel-chair, but still as forthright and impatient as ever. She scolds Horace Benbow as if he were a Sartoris too. The only other characters named Sartoris here are also members of the Benbow family: Horace's sister Narcissa, the widow of (Young) Bayard and to all appearances the head of the household at Sartoris, and Bayard and Narcissa's son, Benbow Sartoris, who is ten-years old and represents the last descendant of both the old Yoknapatawpha families whose names he bears.
