"
Yes
sir
,
"
I
said
,
not
understanding
a
word
he
said
.
I
had
an
idea
,
however
,
that
Aunt
Alexandra
’
s
appearance
on
the
scene
was
not
so
much
Atticus
’
s
doing
as
hers
.
Aunty
had
a
way
of
declaring
What
Is
Best
For
The
Family
,
and
I
suppose
her
coming
to
live
with
us
was
in
that
category
.
Maycomb
welcomed
her
.
Miss
Maudie
Atkinson
baked
a
Lane
cake
so
loaded
with
shinny
it
made
me
tight
;
Miss
Stephanie
Crawford
had
long
visits
with
Aunt
Alexandra
,
consisting
mostly
of
Miss
Stephanie
shaking
her
head
and
saying
,
"
Uh
,
uh
,
uh
.
"
Miss
Rachel
next
door
had
Aunty
over
for
coffee
in
the
afternoons
,
and
Mr
.
Nathan
Radley
went
so
far
as
to
come
up
in
the
front
yard
and
say
he
was
glad
to
see
her
.
When
she
settled
in
with
us
and
life
resumed
its
daily
pace
,
Aunt
Alexandra
seemed
as
if
she
had
always
lived
with
us
.
Her
Missionary
Society
refreshments
added
to
her
reputation
as
a
hostess
(
she
did
not
permit
Calpurnia
to
make
the
delicacies
required
to
sustain
the
Society
through
long
reports
on
Rice
Christians
)
;
she
joined
and
became
Secretary
of
the
Maycomb
Amanuensis
Club
.
To
all
parties
present
and
participating
in
the
life
of
the
county
,
Aunt
Alexandra
was
one
of
the
last
of
her
kind
:
she
had
river
-
boat
,
boarding
-
school
manners
;
let
any
moral
come
along
and
she
would
uphold
it
;
she
was
born
in
the
objective
case
;
she
was
an
incurable
gossip
.
When
Aunt
Alexandra
went
to
school
,
self
-
doubt
could
not
be
found
in
any
textbook
,
so
she
knew
not
its
meaning
.
She
was
never
bored
,
and
given
the
slightest
chance
she
would
exercise
her
royal
prerogative
:
she
would
arrange
,
advise
,
caution
,
and
warn
.
She
never
let
a
chance
escape
her
to
point
out
the
shortcomings
of
other
tribal
groups
to
the
greater
glory
of
our
own
,
a
habit
that
amused
Jem
rather
than
annoyed
him
:
"
Aunty
better
watch
how
she
talks
-
scratch
most
folks
in
Maycomb
and
they
’
re
kin
to
us
.
"
Aunt
Alexandra
,
in
underlining
the
moral
of
young
Sam
Merriweather
’
s
suicide
,
said
it
was
caused
by
a
morbid
streak
in
the
family
.
Let
a
sixteen
-
year
-
old
girl
giggle
in
the
choir
and
Aunty
would
say
,
"
It
just
goes
to
show
you
,
all
the
Penfield
women
are
flighty
.
"
Everybody
in
Maycomb
,
it
seemed
,
had
a
Streak
:
a
Drinking
Streak
,
a
Gambling
Streak
,
a
Mean
Streak
,
a
Funny
Streak
.
Once
,
when
Aunty
ured
us
that
Miss
Stephanie
Crawford
’
s
tendency
to
mind
other
people
’
s
business
was
hereditary
,
Atticus
said
,
"
Sister
,
when
you
stop
to
think
about
it
,
our
generation
’
s
practically
the
first
in
the
Finch
family
not
to
marry
its
cousins
.
Would
you
say
the
Finches
have
an
Incestuous
Streak
?
"
Aunty
said
no
,
that
’
s
where
we
got
our
small
hands
and
feet
.
I
never
understood
her
preoccupation
with
heredity
.
Somewhere
,
I
had
received
the
impression
that
Fine
Folks
were
people
who
did
the
best
they
could
with
the
sense
they
had
,
but
Aunt
Alexandra
was
of
the
opinion
,
obliquely
expressed
,
that
the
longer
a
family
had
been
squatting
on
one
patch
of
land
the
finer
it
was
.
"
That
makes
the
Ewells
fine
folks
,
then
,
"
said
Jem
.
The
tribe
of
which
Burris
Ewell
and
his
brethren
consisted
had
lived
on
the
same
plot
of
earth
behind
the
Maycomb
dump
,
and
had
thrived
on
county
welfare
money
for
three
generations
.
