What is Tom's version of the events?

Answer 1

He claims to have been doing jobs for Mayella Ewell often. The story of the chiffarobe was supposed to have taken place last spring. He claims that on November 21st she told him to come inside the house while all the children were gone. She grabbed him from behind and hugged him out of desperation and while running away, he saw her father come in. He was angry at Mayella calling her a "goddamn whore", so Tom Robinson ran away in fear.
