Perspective of Ms. Maudie Atkins
Dear Diary,
I just say Scout today. She went near the Radley's house and pulled something out of a tree. I am not sure what she pulled out of it but I hope it was hers because it is not nice to steal from other people. I keep seeing Scout, Jem, and Dill playing a new game. I think they are reenacting Arthur Radley's life story. One day I saw them act out a scene where Arthur stabbed his own father. I have to say it look real. I almost went to see if they really stabbed him, but from another angle he really swung and missed.
I have actually acquired a new friend. Atticus's daughter, Scout. She seems very interested with the Radley house. She asked me if I think Arthur is still alive. Which my reply was yes. Even though you stay indoors all the time does not mean you are dead.
Next day things got strange. I hear a gun shot and hurry over to the crowd in front of the Radley house. It seems Nathan Radley shot his gun to scare a negro away. But then the Finch children and Dill come running up looking all scared. The son of Atticus, Jem is missing pants.
After that day the kids keep on finding these little gifts in the tree. But Nathan was not happy and I saw him filling the hole with cement so the kids could not mess with it anymore.
Sincerely,
Maudie Atkins
