I am at a loss for words.
"How could they do it? How could they?"
"I don't know but they did it. They've done it before and they did it tonight and they'll do it again and when they do it--seems that only children weep."
Normally I can't hold back from ranting about things. Especially like this. Especially like now.
I don't know what to say. Every time I try to speak, I just can't.
"I can't breathe."
"Atticus--" said Jemm bleakly. He turned in the doorway.
"What, son?""How could they do it? How could they?"
"I don't know but they did it. They've done it before and they did it tonight and they'll do it again and when they do it--seems that only children weep."
