Journal #3: Chapters 8-9 Uncle Jack Perspective

I've been on this train for hours. When are we going to get to Maycomb? Can't wait to see my niece and nephew, hope Atticus is raising them right. “Maycomb City, Alabama next stop,” the man on the speaker announced. Finally, I’ve been isolated for hours on this dang train. When we pulled in to the train station I saw Scout and Jem with Atticus waiting for me. I wave to them and when I jumped off the train I kissed Atticus on the cheek and I shook hands with Jem and swung Scout up high but not to high and then pulled out the packages and Scout said, “What is in those packages?” and I replied, “None of your business?” Jem said, “How’s Rose Aylmer?” I pulled out some pictures off her and they called her fat and I told them that she was eating all the lose fingers and ears. I heard the most fanatical thing that day, did Scout just swear? I think she did oh no she did I’ll just forget she did. We went to the Finch estate we had some supper, when scout swore again and I wasn’t going to forget about it this time. I told her to meet me in the living room after supper. I spoke to her about the swearing and what people would think of her if she kept it up. I also told her to stop so she can be a proper woman she gets older. Then we put up the tree and started to decorate it. We drove to the Landing and we had dinner and I went to talk to some of the relatives and get acquainted with the new relatives.. When we got there everybody was just settling in and everybody was greeting each other. I started to talk to Alexandra she said that she missed me and haven’t seen me I was adjacent to her. We were debating about how Atticus is raising Jem and Scout. Then Scout came up to me and said that Francis called my brother a “Nigger-lover” and I was furious at that boy and I was going to hurt him until Scout told me not and asked me to bandage her hand and I talked to her for a few minutes and then I talked to my brother but I didn’t mention what Francis said.
