That's Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose to you! (Just kidding)


To quote from the story- Jem and I hated her. If she was on the porch when we passed, we would be raked by her wrathful gaze, subjected to ruthless interrogation regarding our behavior, and given a melancholy prediction on what we would amount to when we grew up, which was always nothing.


But if you have not read the book, you really should. It is a really good story- and you might learn why Mrs. Dubose was such a mean spirited person- God rest her soul.
