but who allowed the children to leave safely. He also determined that it could only have
been Boo who so crudely patched his pants that were lost on the Radley fence. Perhaps
their biggest surprise came when they discovered the blanket wrapped around Scout's
shoulders on the night of Miss Maudie's fire. Since the children had remained planted in
front of the Radley house, it must have been Boo who placed it there, a chuckling
Atticus explained. Scout still fantasizes about meeting Boo, but the children have
decided to give Boo his privacy and keep away from the Radley
house.
