The titular character's sweetheart initially came to town to pave the sidewalks, and the sight of them driving in a yellow buggy on Sunday mornings led the townspeople of Jefferson to think she had forgotten her noblesse oblige.

The house smells so bad that men needed to sprinkle lime in the yard, and the titular character refuses to pay her taxes after Colonel Sartoris remitted them out of pity. It is originally thought that she buys arsenic to kill rats, but only after she dies do the townspeople discover in her house a strand of her "iron gray hair" next to the dead body of Homer Barron. For ten points, name this story about a reclusive woman in a Southern town, a work by William Faulkner.
