Transcriber’s Notes
Because of William Faulkner’s unorthodox use of punctuation, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish printing errors from the author’s intentions. Therefore, every effort has been made to make the text of this eBook correspond exactly to the printed edition of the book from which the text was derived. The only correction made was the addition of a missing closing quotation mark in the paragraph that begins with “He fumbled in his coat” on page 230.
The illustration of an eye on page 242 has been replaced by the text, “[Illustration: Eye]”, in the plain text version of this eBook.
