Yep, it was as delicious as I remembered. What luck to find it on line. I'll look for some other titles soon; there is quite a selection available if you don't need the very latest best-seller. (I tend not to read those, anyway.)

Thanks Chez. I'm surprised how easily I found it. I knew which scene it was.<br />

"Atticus had said it was the polite thing to talk to people about<br />
what they were interested in, not about what you were interested in.<br />
Mr. Cunningham displayed no interest in his son, so I tackled his<br />
entailment once more in a last-ditch effort to make him feel at home.<br />
"Entailments are bad," I was advising him, when I slowly awoke to<br />
the fact that I was addressing the entire aggregation. The men were<br />

all looking at me, some had their mouths half-open. Atticus had<br />
stopped poking at Jem: they were standing together beside Dill.<br />
Their attention amounted to fascination. Atticus's mouth, even, was<br />
half-open, an attitude he had once described as uncouth. Our eyes<br />
met and he shut it. " I'm sorry the link didn't wor…tag:teebeedee.ning.com,2010-07-12:1991841:Comment:10183592010-07-12T08:57:09.562ZChez moihttps://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/Chezmoi
I'm sorry the link didn't work for you. I put up another one - it may be an inside/outside USA thing.

Very much so.<br />
<br />
The part that stuck with me involves a story in my own life. I can't pull up the on-line book so I'll summarize. Scout mentions that Atticus had taught them to not stand there with their mouths open and later in one scene, I believe, Scout had done or said something and she looked at Atticus and he was standing there with his mouth open. :-)

My first dog was named Scout...<br />
<br />
I saw the movie first. I was young and the only lesson I remember now was to respect my elders.<br />
<br />
The first time I read it it was required summer reading in High School. I cried. I laughed---<br />
<br />
“<i>The sixth grade seemed to please him from the beginning: he went through a brief Egyptian Period that baffled me - he tried to walk flat a great deal, sticking one arm in front of him and one in back of him, putting one foot behind the other. He declared Egyptians…</i>

“<i>The sixth grade seemed to please him from the beginning: he went through a brief Egyptian Period that baffled me - he tried to walk flat a great deal, sticking one arm in front of him and one in back of him, putting one foot behind the other. He declared Egyptians walked that way; I said if they did I didn't see how they got anything done, but Jem said they accomplished more than the Americans ever did, they invented toilet paper and perpetual embalming, and asked where would we be today if they hadn't? Atticus told me to delete the adjectives and I'd have the facts.”</i> ~Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird, Chapter 7<br />
<br />
I was most taken by Scout’s story…her growth.<br />
I read Atticus’ story the second time. I found him inspiring, He was brave and kind and caring and humble and loving…<br />
I learned about honor and integrity.<br />
<br />
I’ve probably read it a half dozen times, the last being two weeks ago. I see something different every time. I learn a new lesson every time…<br />
<br />
O, and I learned that I never wanted to be a ham in the school play ;-D
