Quote of the Day: "A bunch of people are hard to understand."

        Hi. An several days we have started going to read to Mrs. Henry Laffayette Dubose down are the road. More Jem has been reading to her. This started when Jem in his little fit of irritation and more than that to is went through her garden and went through all her flowers. As this was his punishment. An while we are reading to her she shouts at us not really nice things, she tosses her blankets, she is doesn’t seem to want us to be there. Also, she seems kind of sick. She always has some medicine an seems to have little , .. things that go wrong with he r. An a little bit later she seems to get nicer, less rude, less mean, more calm or quiet, not shouting none at me or Jem. Tells us is to be polite. An we are. An we’ve never seen her like this. This is not a normal kin d of personality for her. These are not the way we would expect her to treat us. More widely she is regarded as the meanest lady in our neighborhood. The really meanest. I don’t know really what to think any more about this .
