Colonel John Sartoris, one of the major figures in the Yoknapatawpha fiction, returns to his plantation in this story from fighting for the South in the Civil War, apparently to hide the family's portable property - silver and livestock - from the approaching Yankee army.

Philadelphy is the wife of Loosh. She tries to get Loosh to quit talking his pro-Yankee talk in front of Ringo and Bayard, but to little avail.

Loosh is Philadelphy's husband, Ringo's uncle, and Joby's son. Loosh is the only black on the Sartoris plantation who openly desires the freedom for slaves offered by the Yankees. In this story, Loosh ridicules the war games of Ringo and Baynard, suggesting (though the boys do not understand his implications) that the South is on its way to inevitable defeat.
