When
Uncle
Jack
jumped
down
from
the
train
Christmas
Eve
day
,
we
had
to
wait
for
the
porter
to
hand
him
two
long
packages
.
Jem
and
I
always
thought
it
funny
when
Uncle
Jack
pecked
Atticus
on
the
cheek
;
they
were
the
only
two
men
we
ever
saw
kiss
each
other
.
Uncle
Jack
shook
hands
with
Jem
and
swung
me
high
,
but
not
high
enough
:
Uncle
Jack
was
a
head
shorter
than
Atticus
;
the
baby
of
the
family
,
he
was
younger
than
Aunt
Alexandra
.
He
and
Aunty
looked
alike
,
but
Uncle
Jack
made
better
use
of
his
face
:
we
were
never
wary
of
his
sharp
nose
and
chin
.
942
He
was
one
of
the
few
men
of
science
who
never
terrified
me
,
probably
because
he
never
behaved
like
a
doctor
.
Whenever
he
performed
a
minor
service
for
Jem
and
me
,
as
removing
a
splinter
from
a
foot
,
he
would
tell
us
exactly
what
he
was
going
to
do
,
give
us
an
estimation
of
how
much
it
would
hurt
,
and
explain
the
use
of
any
tongs
he
employed
.

One
Christmas
I
lurked
in
corners
nursing
a
twisted
splinter
in
my
foot
,
permitting
no
one
to
come
near
me
.
When
Uncle
Jack
caught
me
,
he
kept
me
laughing
about
a
preacher
who
hated
going
to
church
so
much
that
every
day
he
stood
at
his
gate
in
his
dressing
-
gown
,
smoking
a
hookah
and
delivering
five
-
minute
sermons
to
any
passers
-
by
who
desired
spiritual
comfort
.
I
interrupted
to
make
Uncle
Jack
let
me
know
when
he
would
pull
it
out
,
but
he
held
up
a
bloody
splinter
in
a
pair
of
tweezers
and
said
he
yanked
it
while
I
was
laughing
,
that
was
what
was
known
as
relativity
.

"
What
’
s
in
those
packages
?
"
I
asked
him
,
pointing
to
the
long
thin
parcels
the
porter
had
given
him
.
945
"
None
of
your
business
,
"
he
said
.
946
Jem
said
,
"
How
’
s
Rose
Aylmer
?
"
947
Rose
Aylmer
was
Uncle
Jack
’
s
cat
.
She
was
a
beautiful
yellow
female
Uncle
Jack
said
was
one
of
the
few
women
he
could
stand
permanently
.
He
reached
into
his
coat
pocket
and
brought
out
some
snapshots
.
We
admired
them
.

"
She
’
s
gettin
’
fat
,
"
I
said
.
949
"
I
should
think
so
.
She
eats
all
the
leftover
fingers
and
ears
from
the
hospital
.
"

"
Aw
,
that
’
s
a
damn
story
,
"
I
said
.
