1. What kind of bread does Calpurnia make for Scout when she's feeling bad?

Answer: crackling

'It was not often that she made crackling bread, she said she never had time, but with both of us at school today had been an easy one for her. She knew that I loved crackling bread.'

Answer: disorderly conduct

The full charges are "disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, assault and battery, and using abusive and profane language in the presence of a female". Mr. Conner was the 'old beadle' who put 'Boo' Radley in court. His father refused to let a Radley be put in jail.

He promised the judge that he would make sure his son never caused trouble again, and no one saw him for 15 years after. At least, that was according to the legend.

4. Who is Tim Johnson?

Answer: a mad dog

'Tim Johnson was advancing at a snail's pace, but he was not playing or sniffing at foliage: he seemed dedicated to one course and motivated by an invisible force that was inching him toward us. We could see him shiver like a horse shedding flies; his jaw opened and shut; he was alist, but he was being pulled gradually toward us.'
