Quote 1(chapter 13): “She did not have to be told, either. She was right there on hand all the time, just looking something to do. She was a lot better about that than I ever was. She was not as big and she could not do as much as I could, but she was more willing.”

Bayard Sartoris’s defining moment is when he strides into Redmond’s room wielding nothing despite being confronted with a gun, a testament to his refusal to kill and consequently, his maturity.
