Miss Maudie Flashcards
Chameleon
‘She was a widow, a chameleon lady’
Loved
‘She loved everything that grew in God’s earth’
Speech
‘Her speech was crisp for a Maycomb County inhabitant.’
Arthur
‘His name’s Arthur and he’s alive’
Friend
‘Jem and I had considerable faith in Miss Maudie. She had never told on us, had never played cat-and-mouse with us, she was not at all interested in our private lives. She was our friend. How do reasonable a creature could love in peril of everlasting torment was incomprehensible.’
Interest
‘With most of her possessions gone and her beloved yard a shambles, she still took a lively and cordial interest in Jem’s and my affairs.’
Worried
‘Only thing I worried about last night was all the danger and commotion it caused.’
Morbid
‘t’s morbid watching a poor devil on trial for his life. Look at all those folks, it’s like a Roman carnival… Just because it’s public, I don’t have to go, do I?’
Tribute
‘Whether Maycomb knows it or not, we’re paying the highest tribute we can pay a man. We trust him to do right… The handful of people in this town who say fair play is not marked White Only’
