DJ #4 To Kill a Mockingbird Quote 3

"Jem decided there was no point in quibbling, and was silent. When Atticus went inside the house to retrieve a file he had forgotten to take to work that morning, Jem finally realized that he had been done in by the oldest lawyer's trick on record. He waited a respectful distance from the front steps, watched Atticus leave the house and walk toward town. When Atticus was out of earshot Jem yelled after him" 'I thought I wanted to be a lawyer but I aint't so sure now!'" pg. 55

" 'That is three-fourths colored folks and one-fourth Stephanie Crawford,' said Miss Maudie grimly.  "Stephanie Crawford even told me once she woke up in the middle of the night and found him looking in the window at her. I said what did you do, Stephanie, move over in the bed and make room for him? That shut her up a while.'  I was sure it did. Miss Maudie's voice was enough to shut anybody up." pg. 51

DJ #4 To Kill a Mockingbird Quote 1

"Miss Maudie hated her house: time spent indoors was time wasted. She was a widow, a chameleon lady who worked in her flower beds in an old straw hat and men's coveralls, but after her five o'clock bath she would appear on the porch and regin over the street in magisterial beauty." pg. 47

DJ #3: Quote 2 TKM

"When Mr. Nathan Radley passed us on his daily trip to town, we would stand still and silent unitl he was out of sight, then wonder what he would do to us if he suspected. Our activities halted when any of the neighbors appeared, and once I saw Miss Maudie Atkinson staring across the street at us, her hedge clippers poised in midair." pg. 44

DJ #3: Quote 1 To Kill a Mockingbird

"It was then that Calpurnia requested my presence in the kitchen. She was furious, and when she was furious Calpurnia's grammar became erratic. When in tranquility, her grammar was as good as anybody's in Maycomb. Atticus said Calpurnia had more education than most colored folks. When she squinted down at me the tiney lines around her eyes deepended. 'There's some folks who don't like to eat like us,' she whispered firecly, 'but you ain't called on to contradict 'em at the table when they don't." pg. 27
