As I sat there listening to Atticus question Tom, I was very interested in his questions. I took a bite out of my cigar and continued to listen. His questions seemed very well prepared as the accuser's attorney seemed very unprepared. It was sad that everyone knew it as I did that Tom was most likely going to lose the case, and be put to death.
"Did you ever, at any time, go on the Ewell property without an express invitation from one of them?" said Atticus.
"No suh, Mr Finch, I never did. I wouldn't do that suh," was Toms answer. As I spit my ground up cigar into the spittoon, I listened as Tom continued further.
"Mr Finch, I was going home as usual that evenin', an' when I passed the Ewell place Miss Mayella were on the porch, like she said she were. It seemed real quiet like, an' I didn't know why. I was studyin' why, just passin' by, when she says for me to come there, and help her a minute." So far it had seemed to be matching Mayella's story. "Well I went inside the fence an' looked around for some kindlin' to work on, but I didn't see none."
I looked around the courtroom to see a bunch of white's and negroes sitting seperatly, and all sweatin'. The courtroom was tense and getting dark when the lights above us turned on.
