I am reading To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and I am on page 176. So far in this book, one discovers some remarkable events.

Aunt Alexandra arrives and decides that she will be staying with Atticus, Jem, and Scout for a while. Lastly, Dill returns to Jem and Scout’s house, but his mother was not aware of this.
