The minister’s wife sends for Miss Emily’s relations because she had been courting the Northern day laborer Homer Barron, with whom she rides around the streets of the town in a horse-drawn buggy. It would have been considered disgraceful at this time to carry on a courtship that did not appear to be culminating in an engagement and, eventually, marriage. Miss Emily’s cousins are called upon, then, to supervise the couple.
