When Miss Maudie's house catches fire, Atticus wakes the children and tells them to stand in the Radley yard. Jem and Scout follow Atticus' directive and stand in the Radley yard watching the neighbors attempt to save Maudie's furniture from the blaze. It was a very cold night, and Scout says that she felt like she was freezing. The next morning, while Atticus is making the children hot chocolate, he notices that there is a blanket wrapped around Scout's shoulders. He assumes that Scout and Jem left the yard to get a blanket because Scout did not take a blanket with her outside. When he asks Scout where she got the blanket from, she is at a loss for words. Atticus smirks and says, "Looks like all of Maycomb was out tonight, in one way or another." (Lee 95) When Atticus tells Scout that Boo Radley was the person who put the blanket over her shoulders, she nearly throws up.
