Chapter 8

   Something terrible happened in Maycomb, Miss Maudey's house caught on fire.  Miss Maudey lives and the neighborhood and we were never that close until this summer. Ever since Jem and Dill got close I've been feeling left out. So whenever they would go off and play together I would go and chat with her. When her house caught on fire everyone in the town went to help get her stuff out before it got destroyed.  They could not save the house though.  Miss Maudey was oddly okay about the situation. She was looking on the bright side, she was happy she will get to be outside more often.

   Sometime during the fire I found myself starring at the flames, looking at the chaos they have caused. Then I felt a warmth, but not from the fire. Someone had put a blanket on my back, but when I turned no one was there. I asked Atticus if he had been the one to put the blanket on me. He said that he was not, but that it was Boo Radley.
