Sister, convinced that Shirley-T. is not adopted, makes the comment that she looks like their grandfather if he were to ever cut off his beard. So, the first thing Stella-Rondo does when they sit down to eat is attempt to turn Papa-Daddy against Sister. Even though Sister tries to deny what Stella-Rondo says, Papa-Daddy does not listen, but if Sister would argue her innocence without correcting him and getting upset with him, she would have improved the situation. Stella-Rondo easily gets Mama on her side by playing the victim card. Sister thinks that Mama favors her sister, and she points out that “if it had been me that trotted in from Illinois and brought a peculiar-looking child of two, I shudder to think of the reception I’d of got” (362). Mama denies any such accusation and becomes angry when Sister suggests that Shirley-T. might have a problem speaking. After that, Sister is convinced that Stella-Rondo has turned her mama against her while upstairs with her.

Indeed, Sister’s paranoia is not in vain because Stella-Rondo lies to Uncle Rondo saying that it was Sister who made fun of him wearing the kimono. In hearing this, he becomes outraged at Sister and retaliates by throwing lit fireworks

In Harper Lee’s 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee reveals Miss Maudie’s tender tone toward Scout through her use of detail. One instance in which Miss Maudie’s tender tone is revealed through Lee’s careful use of detail is after Maudie’s house burns down. Scout is clearly troubled because of the fire and is curious as to why Maudie is not the least bit fazed. Scout expresses her concerns about the damage and inquires what Miss Maudie will do about it. Miss Maudie responds by stating, “Don’t you worry about me Jean Louise Finch. There are many ways of doing things you don’t know about” (73). In this situation, Miss Maudie attempts to rid Scout of her anxieties as she knows having Scout agonize over the problem will do no good. She is aware that Scout is already exceptionally distraught by the imminent trial, and considering this, Maudie decides not to lay another burden onto Scout. She instead lists the positive effects of the fire to improve Scout’s state of mind, and make her feel at ease about the whole situation. More than anything, Miss Maudie wants Scout to know that there is no reason to fret about anything else than she already has on her plate. She wants the best for Scout and for her to enjoy a life that is not plagued by the problems of the adult-world. Miss Maudie’s consideration and selflessness show her tender tone toward Scout. Another time in which Lee’s use of detail illustrates Miss Maudie’s tender tone toward Scout is at the town ladies’ meeting. Scout,
