Scout tries to ask Atticus what “rape” is, and the subject of Jem and Scout's trip to Calpurnia’s church comes up. Aunt Alexandra tells Scout she cannot go back the next Sunday causing Scout to say, " I didn't ask you!" in response.
You may not.
I didn't ask you!
Later, she tries to convince Atticus to get rid of Calpurnia, saying that they no longer need her. Atticus refuses. He says that Calpurnia helped him get along and she was a faithful member of the family.
Alexandra, Calpurnia's not leaving the house until she wants to.
Scout gets angry at being lectured by Jem. They ended up fighting. Scout was hitting, pulling, pinching and gouging. Atticus breaks up the fight and sends them both to bed.
Both of you go to bed right now
Scout, try not to antagonize Aunty, hear?
You tryin to tell me what to do?
Scout stepped on something warm and it felt alive. She assumed it was a snake and called Jem to check it out for her. He looked under the bed, finding Dill hiding there. Scout mentioned a dream she had about going to the kitchen and bringing Dill some milk. Dill told them his new father locked him in the basement in chains.
God almighty.
How'd you get there?
The real reason he had run away was because his mother and his new father were not giving him enough attention.He had taken thirteen dollars from his mother's purse, caught the nine o'clock train from Meridian to Maycomb Junction and walked the rest of the way.
Dill begged Atticus not to send him back to his Aunt Rachel. He threatened that he would run off again if he did have to go. Atticus asks Scout to get more food than a pan of cold corn bread for Dill, before going next door to tell Dill’s aunt, Miss Rachel, of his whereabouts. Dill eats, then gets into bed with Jem. Dill later climbs into Scout’s bed.
Mr. Finch, don't tell Aunt Rachel, don't ,make me go back, please sir! I'll run off again
