<P> Meanwhile, the tension between Jason and Miss Quentin reaches its inevitable conclusion . The family discovers that Miss Quentin has run away in the middle of the night with a carnival worker, having found the hidden collection of cash in Jason's closet and taken both her money (the support from Caddy, which Jason had stolen) and her money - obsessed uncle's life savings . Jason calls the police and tells them that his money has been stolen, but since it would mean admitting embezzling Quentin's money he doesn't press the issue . He therefore sets off once again to find her on his own, but loses her trail in nearby Mottson, and gives her up as gone for good . </P> <P> After church, Dilsey allows her grandson Luster to drive Benjy in the family's decrepit horse and carriage to the graveyard . Luster, disregarding Benjy's set routine, drives the wrong way around a monument . Benjy's hysterical sobbing and violent outburst can only be quieted by Jason, who understands how best to placate his brother . Jason slaps Luster, turns the carriage around, and, in an attempt to quiet Benjy, hits Benjy, breaking his flower stalk, while screaming "Shut up!" After Jason gets off the carriage and Luster heads home, Benjy suddenly becomes silent . Luster turns around to look at Benjy and sees Benjy holding his drooping flower . Benjy's eyes are "empty and blue and serene again ." </P> <P> In 1945, Faulkner wrote an appendix to the novel to be published in the then - forthcoming anthology The Portable Faulkner . At Faulkner's behest, however, subsequent printings of The Sound and the Fury frequently contain the appendix at the end of the book; it is sometimes referred to as the fifth part . Having been written sixteen years after The Sound and the Fury, the appendix presents some textual differences from the novel, but serves to clarify the novel's opaque story . </P> <P> The appendix is presented as a complete history of the Compson family lineage, beginning with the arrival of their ancestor Quentin Maclachlan in America in 1779 and continuing through 1945, including events that transpired after the novel (which takes place in 1928). In particular, the appendix reveals that Caroline Compson died in 1933, upon which Jason had Benjy committed to the state asylum, fired the black servants, sold the last of the Compson land, and moved into an apartment above his farming supply store . It is also revealed that Jason had himself declared Benjy's legal guardian many years ago, without their mother's knowledge, and used this status to have Benjy castrated . </P>
