Summarize
Mrs. Divide is their neighbor, a mean grumpy old lady who has a African girl working for her, Jenny. Mrs. Ribose would make tons of nasty comments to the kids and their father, on how he is defending a black man, saying they’re trash. Jen was upset at this, taking scouts baton and ruining her Camila bush. Atticus talks with Jen if he did this, in which he agrees, but Atticus says to appologize. The punishment that the old lady gave them was that Jem had to read to Mrs Dubose every Saturday for 2 hours, which she would later schedule each later than the other. This is because she was sick, addicted to Morphine in which she was trying to get off of addictions. She said that the reading helped her take her mind off of the pain. She gave a box to Atticus before dying (assuming) in it had a camilas flowers. Jen burns the box, but touches the camila petals, feeling bad.
