1:25:10
I was goin' home
as usual that evenin'.
1:25:15
When I passed the Ewell place...
1:25:18
Miss Mayella were on the porch,
like she said she were.
1:25:22
She said for me to come there
and help her a minute.
1:25:27
I went inside the fence...
1:25:30
and I looked around for some kindlin'
to work on, but I didn't see none.
1:25:37
Then she said
to come in the house...
1:25:40
she has a door needs fixin'.
1:25:43
So I follows her inside...
1:25:45
and I looked at the door,
and it looked all right.
1:25:51
Then she shut the door.
1:25:54
All the time I was wonderin'
why it was so quiet like.
1:26:01
And then it come to me.
1:26:03
There was not a child
on the place.
1:26:06
And I said, "Miss Mayella,
where are the children?"
1:26:13
She said, "They all gone
to get ice cream."
1:26:16
She said it took her a year to save
seven nickels, but she'd done it.
1:26:21
And they'd all gone to town.
1:26:25
What did you say then?
1:26:30
I said somethin' like...
1:26:33
"Why, Miss Mayella,
that's right nice ofyou to treat 'em."
1:26:38
She said, "You think so?"
1:26:40
"Well," I said, "l best be goin'."
1:26:44
I couldn't do nothin' for her.
And she said yes, I could.
1:26:48
And I asked her what.
1:26:52
And she said tojust step
on the chairyonder...
1:26:56
and get that box down
from on top ofthe chifforobe.
