To Kill A Mockingbird - Jem 5 pg105

Today was the first day I had to read to Mrs. Dubose. I had to read to her because of the controversy over Atticus defending Tom Robinson. While I was reading to her she kept interrupting me to correct me. Mrs. Dubose's interruptions grew farther apart. We looked toward the bed and saw that something was wrong with her. The alarm clock went off and scared us to death. Jessie, Mrs. Dubose's assistant, came in and made us leave, she said it was time for her medicine. I have to read to her every week and it is not going to be fun.
