"...a faint dust rose sluggishly about their thighs, spinning with slow motes in the single sun-ray."
This excerpt provides excellent imagery about Miss Emily's home. It is very old and dusty. It seems to be a large home, and Miss Emily does not use all of it. She is very mysterious and secretive about what she does and rarely leaves her home, which smells terrible. Again, the ending to this story was also surprising and very weird. The smell of the house is coming from the terrible smell of Homer's rotten, lifeless body, which is discovered after Miss Emily's death. Homer is the only one who would spend time with Miss Emily. She connected with him so much, but he was homosexual and this was the only way that they could be together forever.
