sed that you come and pay your condolences. "The day after his death (meaning her father) all the ladies prepared to call at the house and offer condolence and aid, as is our custom." (William Faulkner Pg317 Literature and the Writing Process) Faulkner states that the men came out of respect, but how much could they have respected her, when they would come in the middle of the night to place lime around her house because her house had an offensive aroma around it. Maybe there were a few older men that did respect her that knew her before her fathers death, but the up and coming men that did not know of her but what had been told to them by others really could not have respected her very much, maybe they came out of curiosity as well.
