Everyone is made to leave Jem's room and they all go to the front porch. Scout leads Boo outside, thinking how much this resembled her fantasies of meeting him. On the porch, Atticus and the sheriff have a long and slightly aggressive discuss about whether or not Jem killed Bob with the knife. Atticus believes he did and doesn't want this to hang over his head for the rest of his life and the sheriff believes that Bob fell on the knife and killed himself. After the sheriff made his final argument, told Atticus it was his discussion to take it to court, said goodnight, and drove away. Scout tried to comfort her father, and then Atticus thanked Boo.
Boo uncomfortable rose from his seat and coughed so violently that he had to sit back down. Scout told him he wanted to say good night to Jem he could. She led him upstairs and into Jem's room. She told him he could pet his head, so he did gently. After they left the room, Boo asked in a whisper if Scout could walk him home, so she did, but after he closed the door, she never saw him again. She stood on his porch and remembered everything that happened on that street over the course of three years. She walked home to find Atticus still in Jem's room with him reading. Scout asks to sits like him and asked for Atticus to read. Shortly after Atticus starts reading she falls asleep. Finally he puts her to bed while she babbles about what she "heard". She know Atticus would stay with Jem until morning, when he would wake up.
