To Kill a Mockingbird Chapter 16

4) They get seats

The first floor fills up, and they are only able to find seating when Reverend Sykes lets them sit in the balcony where black people watch the trial

"There's not a seat downstairs. Do you all reckon it'll be all right if you all came to the balcony with me ?"

The whole county attends, except for Miss Maudie.

"I am not [going]. Ys morbid, watching a poor devil on trial for his life. Look at all those folks, it's like a Roman carnival."

They all meet in the town square for lunch

The three of them (Atticus, Jem and Scout) return home quietly, as to not disturb anyone

2) The trial begins

After lunch, everyone goes to the courthouse to watch the trial

1) They return home

The next morning, nobody eats breakfast because they aren't feeling very happy, but Jem devours three eggs.

"Everybody's appetite was delicate this morning, except Jem's: he ate his way through three eggs"

3)Jem, Dill and Scout sneak in

5) They begin to watch the trial

Scout starts to cry about the night's events, and Jem comforts her.

"for once he didn't remind me that people nearly nine years old didn't do things like that"

From the balcony, they can see the whole courtroom. Judge Taylor, a white-haired old man with a reputation for running his court in an informal fashion, presides over the case.

"Judge Taylor looked like most judges I had ever seen: amiable, white-haired, slightly ruddy-faced, he was a man who ran his court with an alarming informality"

Jem, Dill and Scout wait for everyone enter the courthouse, so they can sneak in without Atticus noticing them.

"`Naw, we better wait till they get in, Atticus might not like it if he sees us,' said Jem."

Scout got caught in the middle of the Idlers' Club, and hears them talking about her Atticus

"Yeah, but Atticus aims to defend him. That's what I don't like about it."
