Part Two Chapter 26
To Kill a Mockingbird
School started, and so did our daily trips past the Radley Place.
Jem was in the seventh grade and went to high school, beyond the
grammar-school building; I was now in the third grade, and our
routines were so different I only walked to school with Jem in the
mornings and saw him at mealtimes. He went out for football, but was
too slender and too young yet to do anything but carry the team
water buckets. This he did with enthusiasm; most afternoons he was
seldom home before dark.
The Radley Place had ceased to terrify me, but it was no less
gloomy, no less chilly under its great oaks, and no less uninviting.
