TKAM Journal 7: Calpernia's POV

As I walked down the sidewalk thinking about what I would do to them rascals when I got me hands on them. I walked into town hoping that they were at the court house where I was guessing them to be. As I walked in I saw that it was an important part so I stood at the back of the court house waiting for Atticus to finish talking so that I could hand him the letter that Miss. Alexandra had wrote. As I walked up the isle I looked for the little ones but I didn't see them, left or right. I headed up to Atticus and asked the judge if I could hand him a letter. As I handed it to him I saw a sad look on his face that showed that he really hoped that he won. As soon as I said what the letter was about Mr. Underwood pointed out to us that all them children were just yonder in the balcony, right next to the reverend. As I walked briskly to the stairs I saw them coming down and I couldn't help but be relived when I saw them. But that feeling was soon overcome with anger when I saw that smug look on Jems face.

We walked back to the house, the two little ones mostly in silence and Jem trying to tell me about the case, but I didn't let him. Every time he would try to talk I wold shush him with my complains upon his behavior.
