“Because that’s the only way he can pay me. He has no money.”“Are we poor, Atticus?”Atticus nodded. “We are indeed.”Jem’s nose wrinkled. “Are we as poor as the Cunninghams?”“Not exactly. The Cunninghams are country folks, farmers, and the crash hitthem hardest.”Atticus said professional people were poor because the farmers were poor. AsMaycomb County was farm country, nickels and dimes were hard to come by fordoctors and dentists and lawyers. Entailment was only a part of Mr.Cunningham’s vexations. The acres not entailed were mortgaged to the hilt, andthe little cash he made went to interest. If he held his mouth right, Mr.Cunningham could get a WPA job, but his land would go to ruin if he left it, andhe was willing to go hungry to keep his land and vote as he pleased. Mr.Cunningham, said Atticus, came from a set breed of men.As the Cunninghams had no money to pay a lawyer, they simply paid us withwhat they had. “Did you know,” said Atticus, “that Dr. Reynolds works the sameway? He charges some folks a bushel of potatoes for delivery of a baby. MissScout, if you give me your attention I’ll tell you what entailment is. Jem’sdefinitions are very nearly accurate sometimes.”If I could have explained these things to Miss Caroline, I would have savedmyself some inconvenience and Miss Caroline subsequent mortification, but itwas beyond my ability to explain things as well as Atticus, so I said, “You’reshamin‘ him, Miss Caroline. Walter hasn’t got a quarter at home to bring you,and you can’t use any stovewood.”Miss Caroline stood stock still, then grabbed me by the collar and hauled meback to her desk. “Jean Louise, I’ve had about enough of you this morning,” shesaid. “You’re starting off on the wrong foot in every way, my dear. Hold outyour hand.”I thought she was going to spit in it, which was the only reason anybody inMaycomb held out his hand: it was a time-honored method of sealing oralcontracts. Wondering what bargain we had made, I turned to the class for ananswer, but the class looked back at me in puzzlement. Miss Caroline picked upher ruler, gave me half a dozen quick little pats, then told me to stand in thecorner. A storm of laughter broke loose when it finally occurred to the class thatMiss Caroline had whipped me.When Miss Caroline threatened it with a similar fate the first grade exploded
again, becoming cold sober only when the shadow of Miss Blount fell overthem. Miss Blount, a native Maycombian as yet uninitiated in the mysteries ofthe Decimal System, appeared at the door hands on hips and announced: “If Ihear another sound from this room I’ll burn up everybody in it. Miss Caroline,the sixth grade cannot concentrate on the pyramids for all this racket!”My sojourn in the corner was a short one. Saved by the bell, Miss Carolinewatched the class file out for lunch. As I was the last to leave, I saw her sinkdown into her chair and bury her head in her arms. Had her conduct been morefriendly toward me, I would have felt sorry for her. She was a pretty little thing.
