| What's he doin', trying to catch his tail? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| No, he's doin' like this. He's goin' like that, only not like he means to. | |
 | |  |

Calpurnia's voice hardens.

|
|
|
 | |  |
| Are you telling me a story, Jem Finch? Was he runnin'? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| No Cal, I swear I'm not. No, he's just moseyin' along, so slow you can't hardly tell it. He's comin' this way. | |

Calpurnia followed them beyond the Radley Place and looked where Jem pointed. Tim Johnson was not much more than a speck in the distance, but he was closer to them. He walked erratically.
