Yesterday, Boo took us out of the upstairs bathroom and brought us downstairs into the kitchen. He grabbed some knives out of the cupboard and took us toward the living room rocking chair. He sat and started to carve me first. I am, of course, made of soap so the process wasn't painful. Boo slowly curved the knife while stopping now and then to recall his memory of what my counterparts look like. Soon, I had a face. Then Boo started to work on my hair and chest. After he finished me, I looked like an exact replica of the real Scout Finch. At midnight, Boo took me and Jem outside and placed us on a knothole in
