"Ain't got no mother," was the answer, "and their paw's right contentious" (Lee page 32).

This is the beginning of the story when the children in Miss Caroline's class are trying to explain to her that Burris Ewell and the rest of the Ewells only come to school on the first day of the year. It is in chapter 3, and in the book I own, page 32.

Hope that helps!
