i think one of the kids comes up with strip poker as the excuse xD not sure which one said it though sorry
The excuse given was that Jem's pants got caught on a fence and he had to take them off to get free. However, this story was later revealed to be a lie, and the pants had actually been left behind at the Radley house after a mysterious encounter with Boo Radley.
Dill creates a wild and imaginative explanation for Jem's missing pants, suggesting that they were stolen by a mythical creature like a gremlin or a haint. This story adds humor to the situation and helps lighten the mood.
He said they were playing "Strip Poker"
Dill explains this loss by stating that Jem lost his pants playing strip poker. Atticus and Ms. Stephanie did seem suspicious of his reply.
Dill loses his pants on the fence of Boo Radley's house after Jem and Dill go to the Radley's house to deliver a note to Boo. Jem was stuck on the fence and Dill got him off, but then Dill lost his pants in the process.
Dill technically lied to Atticus by saying that they were playing strip poker, but not with cards
well went they take a peek at the window jem gets his pants stuck on the fence and gets shot at when they leave the a note asking him out for ice-cream nothing happens when jem bangs on the door nothing happens again
Jem says he lost his pants playing strip poker by the fish pond with dill.
You mean Jem's pants? Dill said he won them while playing Strip Poker.
they were by the radley house got scared and ranaway
Atticus is surprised and concerned to find Dill hiding in Scout's room as he had no idea Dill was there. He quickly assesses the situation and ensures Dill is safe before addressing the situation with both children.
