On Dill's last night in Maycomb, the children decide upon going over to the Radleys'. At first, Scout does not want to go because Atticus has told them to leave Boo alone. But when the boys ridicule her, she joins them. In fact, she works with Jem in making a "saddle" to raise Dill to the window sill of the house. Then, after Jem loses his pants on the wire fence of the Radleys, Scout remains quiet, too, as Dill tells Atticus a tall tale about having won the pants in a game. Later that night, Jem confides in Scout that he must go back for his pants. She becomes very concerned that he could be hurt or killed and begins to be concerned,



I waited until it was time to worry and listened for Mr. Radley's shotgun. Then I thought I heard the back fence squeak. It was wishful thinking....There he was returning to me. His white shirt bobbed over the back fence and slowly grew larger.
