When Jem and Scout are standing in the street, Scout is so transfixed by what's going on that she doesn't notice a blanket being put around her. Since they're standing by the Radley Place and Nathan Radley is the type of man to bound out the house waving a gun around, it can be deduced to absolute certainty that Boo Radley was the one to exit the house and place the blanket around Scout.

Nathan Radley tells the children he sealed the knothole with cement in order to prevent Boo Radley from communicating with them or giving them gifts. He likely did this to further isolate Boo and maintain control over his actions.


Why should the reader not be surprised about the identity of the children's rescuer?

The reader probably is not surprised when learning the identity of the children's rescuer in chapter 29 because there has been plenty of foreshadowing of the emergence of Boo Radley from his isolation inside his family home. It would be an artistic fault on the part of Harper Lee to give so much attention to Boo without ever bringing him out of hiding, and meanwhile the novel is coming closer and closer to the end. The reader knows that Boo has been watching the children for a long time. He has been leaving them little presents in the oak tree, and once he stitched up the pants that Jem had caught in the barbed wire and left them where Jem could easily find them when he ventured back. The reader feels that Boo is a gentle soul, even if the children have a superstitious dread of him. When they are attacked in the pitch darkness on their way back from church, the reader quickly guesses that it must have been Boo who rescued them when Bob Ewell attacked them with the apparent intent to kill. The author had been saving the introduction of Boo Radley until almost the last moment in order to achieve a satisfying, if not a surprising, ending for her story. Boo was just about the only person who would know his way around in the darkness so well. He had been wandering around at night for years. The reader has the additional satisfaction of knowing that Ewell has gotten his comeuppance.

What excuse did Mr. Radley give for filing in the hole with cement?

In my opinion, Mr. Radley lied when he claimed he filled it because the tree was sick. I do not know much about trees, but how can cement help a sick tree? I think Nathan Radley filled the knothole simply to keep Boo from communicating with the children. Possibly feeling a need to protect Boo from getting into trouble.
