Lilley House (Location Key)

In Intruder in the Dust Mr. Lilley is "a countryman" who moved into Jefferson "a year ago" (46). The place he lives gives Faulkner another chance to criticize houses that are built too close together. In the county his "nearest neighbor" was two miles away; in town he chooses to live in "a small neat shoebox of a house built last year between two other houses already close enough to hear one anothers' toilets flush" (46).
