spoken by Miss Maudie
(end of chapter 10 of To Kill a Mockingbird)
as to why Atticus's children didn't know
about his awesome on-target shooting skills

Are you reading To Kill A Mockingbird?
ReplyDeleteThat is quite possibly my favorite fiction book ever. That one quote now has me wanting to read it, again...
