"Her face was the color of a dirty pillowcase, and the corners of her mouth glistened with wet, which inched like a glacier down the deep grooves enclosing her chin. Old-age liver spots dotted her cheeks, and her pale eyes had black pinpoint pupils. Her hands were knobby, and the cuticles were grown up over her fingernails" (Lee 122).

"An opressive odor met us when we corssed the threshold, an odor I had met many times in rain-rotted gray houses where there are coil-oil lamps, water dippers, and unbleached domestic sheets" ((Lee 121).

"The back of the Radley house was less inviting than the front: a ramshackle porch ran the width of the house; there were two doors and two dark windows between the doors. Instead of a column, a rough two-by-four aupported one end of the roof. An old Franklin stove sat in a corner of the porch; above it a hat-rack mirror caught the moon and shone eerily" (Lee 59).

"Every night-sound I heard from my cot on the back porch was magnified three-fold; every scratch of feet on gravel was Boo Radley seeking revenge, every passing Negro laughing in the night was Boo Radley's insaane fingers picking the wire to pieces; the chinaberry trees were malignant, hovering, alive" (Lee 62).

"He was the filthiest human I had ever seen. His neck was dark gray, the backs of his hands were rusty, and his fingernails were black deep into the quick" (Lee 29).
