Biography:
Along with her husband Joby, Louvinia is at the head of the family that has served the Sartorises for many years. In this story she presides over the homecoming of Bayard and Ringo after the grueling ordeal in which they get revenge for Rosa's death. Bayard describes her "crying and praying and pawing at me, and hollering and scolding at [her grandson] Ringo all at once" (116). After she cooks supper for the boys, Bayard falls asleep "with Louvinia's face hanging over us" (116).
