Parsham: Uncle Parsham's House (Location Key)

In The Reivers Uncle Parsham's family lives in "a dog-trot house" that is described as "paintless but quite sound and quite neat" (164). Lucius sleeps under "a bright perfectly clean harlequin-patched quilt" in the "lean-to" that serves as the bedroom for Parsham's grandson Lycurgus (164). Parsham's "stable" is also included in this location (170). A "dog-trot" house - really, a cabin - consists of two rooms, separated by a roofed but otherwise open breezeway; this form of housing was widespread across the impoverished rural South.
