I couldn't
do it. I ran away from home. My parents paid no attention to me, so I took a
train back to Maycomb all by myself. It was a long journey I tell ya. I
finished it walkin’ on my own feet. I snuck under Scout’s bed, but Jem found me
there. I told ‘em the story, and Jem told Atticus. I was scared he would kick
me out, but he let me stay the night.
He made me
promise I tell Auntie Rachel what I did. I went to sleep in Jem’s room, but as
soon as he was asleep, I went down yonder to Scout’s room. I told her to scoot
over so I could lay in bed beside her. We talked and fell asleep after that.
