[French
Architect]: The designer of the plantation house at Sutpen's
Hundred in Absalom, Absalom!, brought
from Martinique to Mississippi in 1833 by Thomas
Sutpen to build his plantation house. He lived as a virtual captive of
Sutpen for two years "on venison cooked over a camp fire, in an
unfloored tent made of the wagon hood, before he so much as saw any color or
shape of pay." He is described as "a small, alertly resigned man
with a grim, harried Latin face, in a frock coat and a flowered waistcoat
and a hat which would have created no furore (sic) on a Paris
boulevard." During his second summer at Sutpen's Hundred, the architect
attempted to flee; as Sutpen and General
Compson were tracking him down, Sutpen revealed some of his history to
Compson.

Frenchman's Bend:
A small rural settlement in southeastern Yoknapatawpha
County, located on the Yoknapatawpha
River, twenty miles southeast of Jefferson,
in the county division known as "Beat
Two." It is the area indicated by the title of The
Hamlet, where it is described as "a section of rich
river-bottom country ... Hill-cradled and remote, definite yet without
boundaries, straddling into two counties and owning allegiance to
neither." Much of the early history of the area is told in The
Hamlet. According to Gavin
Stevens in Intruder in the Dust, "in the
valleys along the rivers, the broad rich easy land where a man can raise
something he can sell openly in daylight, the people named Littlejohn
and Greenleaf and Armstead
and Millingham and Bookwright
[live]." The area was named Frenchman's Bend because all the land there
had once been owned by Louis Grenier,
one of the first settlers in the county, and the first slave owner and
planter there. From the 1890s through the 1940s, the most important man in
Frenchman's Bend Will Varner, at
whose store Flem Snopes got his
start in The Hamlet. Frenchman's bend is
also the setting for "Shingles
for the Lord," "Two Soldiers,"
"Shall Not Perish," and
parts of "Hand Upon the Waters"
and "Tomorrow" (both in Knight’s Gambit), Sanctuary, The
Town, and The Mansion.
