I had to
leave back to Meridian after summer ended, but I made sure to come back the
following year. I spent most of my time with Jem, and Scout was jealous.
Earlier that summer I had asked her to marry me and told her she was the only
girl I’d love. I felt bad, but Jem and I were plannin’ something top secret. He
told me I couldn’t tell her yet.
When she
insisted on being part of our plan, we made her swear not to tell anybody. We
were plannin’ to stick a letter through Boo Radley’s window beggin’ him to come
out. Jem would put the letter inside
with a fishin’ pole, I’d keep watch for people passin,’ and Scout would keep watch
on another part of the lot. We almost did it, but I saw Atticus comin’ and I
rang a bell to let Jem know. He scolded us and told us to stop tormenting Boo.
