Atticus sets himself up in front of the jail, a fantastical structure which some people say looks like a Victorian bathroom,reading by the light of the light bulb and extension flex he went off with earlier.
When the group of men assemble to threaten Atticus, Scout scans the men for a familiar face, and finally recognizes Mr. Cunningham.She addresses Mr. Cunningham and asks him about his entailment, but he doesn't answer. Scout keeps talking to Mr. Cunningham, and tells him that she goes to school with Walter, and to say hi to him for her.
Scout is remembering past advice from Atticus that it is polite to talk about what other people are interested in, until finally the silence starts to trouble her. Finally Cunningham squats down and tells Scout that he will give Walter her message, and then tells the other men that they're going to leave, which they do.
