She had her own views about things, a lot different from mine, maybe ... son, I told you that if you hadn't lost your head I'd have made you go read to her. I wanted you to see something about her-I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of a man with a gun is hand (a subtle reference to himself). It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what (another subtle reference to himself and a foreshadowing of the case his about to take on). You rarely win but sometimes you do. Mrs. Dubose won alright, all ninety-eight pounds of her. According to her views, she died beholden to nothing and nobody. She was the bravest person I ever knew."
