Calpurnia was to blame for this. It kept me from driving her crazy on rainy days, I guess. She would set me a writing task by scrawling the alphabet firmly across the top of a tablet, then copying out a chapter of the Bible underneath. If I reproduced her penmanship satisfactorily, she rewarded me with an open-faced sandwich of bread and butter and sugar. In Calpurnia’s teaching, there was no sentimentality: I seldom pleased her and she seldom rewarded me. Everybody

Bah, no es así. La gente saca niños el uno de otro. Pero hay ese hombre, además... ese hombre que tiene una infinidad de niños esperando que les despierten; él les da vida con un soplo...Dill estaba disparado otra vez.

An' they chased 'n' never could catch him 'cause they didn't know what he looked like, an' Atticus, when they finally saw him, why he hadn’t done any of those things...Atticus, he was real nice... His hands were under my chin, pulling up the cover, tucking it around me. Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them. He turned out the light and went into Jem’s room. He would be there all night, and he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning.

Of all days Sunday was the day for formal afternoon visiting: ladies wore corsets, men wore coats, children wore shoes.

When it was time to play Boo's big scene, Jem would sneak into the house, steal the scissors from the sewingmachine drawer when Calpurnia's back was turned, then sit in the swing and cut up newspapers. Dill would walk by, cough at Jem, and Jem would fake a plunge into Dill's thigh. From where I stood it looked real.
