Perspective: Mrs. Dubose
Hello,
I knew those kids were bad. I screamed at them when they went into the town because children aren't supposed to do that alone. They say they have been doing it since they were little but I doubt that. It was on the way back when Jeremy Finch attacked my camellias. He took a baton and ruined them. At least he didn't pull them out from the roots. I told Jeremy and Jeans father about what happened. He assured me that he would apologize and regrow my camellias. This was the perfect time for me to start quitting morphine. I promised myself that I would quit before I died and I knew I had only months to live. I told Jeremy he has to read to me everyday for two hours for one month. I needed a distraction so I wouldn't be focused on the pain of quitting.
Jeremy came with his little sister, Jean, as I told him for one month. I knew he was debating everyday whether to come or not, yet he still showed up. I am glad he did because it was the only thing keeping me distracted. I went through my fits everyday. The kids probably thought that I was crazy. No one told them I was trying to quit. The first day that they showed up they pulled two chairs up to the left side of my bed. I told them to move to the right because it was easier for me to look that way. Jean was in a chair adjacent to Jeremy's chair. They probably got acquainted with my house after the third or fourth visit.
On the last day of their reading their dad came in and told them to extend for a week because I asked. The reading was really helping take my mind off things. Jeremy looked perplexed when his father said that, I am just glad he agreed. After the last day of reading the children were so happy. A couple days later their father came to my house to get something from me while I was alive. That was the day I died. I entrusted Atticus with my package. I hope that he gave it to Jeremy. I am glad that I kept my promise to myself.
