The mention of Dill's kissing Scout is found twice in the novel.

___CHAPTER 12 - Dill has not yet come for the summer and Scout thinks to herself:

_[Scout] "The fact that I had a permanent fiancé was little compensation for his absence: I had never thought about it, but summer was Dill by the fishpool smoking string, Dill's eyes alive with complicated plans to make Boo Radley emerge; SUMMER WAS THE SWIFTNESS WITH WHICH DILL WOULD REACH UP AND KISS ME WHEN JEM WAS NOT LOOKING [emphasis added], the longings we sometimes felt each other feel…."

___CHAPTER 6 - After Jem "losses" his pants when trying to escape during the failed plan to get a look at Arthur "Boo" Radley, Dill makes up a story about having won them playing strip Poker. Dill is worried that Miss Rachael will be furious. As the children talk with each other, they hear Atticus explaining to Miss Rachael that all children go through phases and that this was not serious. Dill is comforted by what he hears, but Jem and Scout are not. They face the problem of Jem having to show up with his pants in the morning. At that point, Dill speaks:

_[Dill] " 'd give you some of mine."

_[Scout as narrator] "…as we came to Miss Rachel's steps. Jem said he couldn't get in them, but thanks anyway. We said good-bye, and Dill went inside the house. HE EVIDENTLY REMEMBERED HE WAS ENGAGED TO ME, FOR HE RAN BACK OUT AND KISSED ME IN FRONT OF JEM [emphasis added]."

_[Dill] "Yawl write, hear?"
