Nancy tells the Compson children that "I got my coffin money saved up with Mr. Lovelady" - or as Quentin's narrative explains, Mr. Lovelady is "a short, dirty man who collected the Negro insurance, coming around to the cabins or the kitchens every Saturday morning, to collect fifteen cents" toward a fund to pay for their funerals (308). He lives at the hotel with his wife and only daughter. Though he and his family occupy only part of a paragraph, the details of their story are provocative: Mrs. Lovelady commits suicide, and after leaving town with his daughter, Mr.

Dilsey's son, and brother of Versh and Frony. He is only mentioned in this story, when Caddy says to Jason: "You were scairder than Frony. You were scairder than T.P. even. Scairder than niggers" (294).

This icon represents the group of armed white men who rode out to Wash's shack with de Spain.

General Lee was the commander of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, in which Sutpen served as a Colonel.

These characters are created by an implication in "That Evening Sun." When Mr. Compson tells Nancy that she should "just let white men alone" (295), he suggests that Mr. Stovall may not be the only white man with whom she has had sex. So by that implication, these are the other men who buy sex from Nancy.
