There were actually two encounters between Bob Ewell and Atticus Finch. The first, which was in court, tells us that Atticus is much the smarter of the two, since he gets Ewell to reveal that he is left-handed. The second, outside the Post Office, tells us that Ewell is a thoroughly evil man who intends to get revenge on Atticus for making it clear that he had been the one who had hurt Mayella.
