nagging at Jem. Dill claims that he loves Scout, but later neglects her.

Maudie, but only when Scout wasnt needed in the game. Miss Maudie
claims that Boo Radley is still alive, and was a very kind person as a
child. When Scout hears this, she is astonished because of all the
terrible rumors she has heard about Boo. After learning this, Scout told
Jem and Dill and they all decided to give Boo a note. They went to his
