Biography:
Gowan's unnamed mother is mentioned in the narrative after he himself has fled from Yoknapatawpha and written Narcissa a letter that Jenny Du Pre makes fun of. She and Mrs. Stevens would have known each other as members of the county's upper class, but Jenny seems to be making fun of her too when she expresses a worry that Gowan's mother may ring the doorbell at the Sartoris mansion, perhaps looking for her runaway son.
