Question
Answer
show to walk at a slow, leisurely pace  
🗑
show an early form of pharmacist, could also supply drugs  
🗑
show to assuage is to lessen or to calm. Therefore, if Jem's fears about being able to play football were assuaged, it means that he no longer feared that he wouldn't be able to play the sport.  
🗑
show a minor city official, lower in rank than either a sheriff or a policeman, whose main duties revolve around preserving order at various civil functions such as trials and town hall meetings.  
🗑
show in this case, members of a particular church or sect  
🗑
show a corset is a ladies undergarment designed to produce a particular effect on the figure. That effect usually results in a slim (or slimmer) waist and larger busts and hips, like the woman in this picture.  
🗑
show in this case, a formal statement of principle  
🗑
domiciled   show
🗑
eaves   show
🗑
show When you make a foray, you go somewhere or do something that is unusual or not normal for you. It was certainly not Jem's usual behavior to go near the Radley house; thus, doing so was a foray for him.  
🗑
show slaves  
🗑
impotent   show
🗑
show To be impudent is to be shamelessly bold, as if you don't care what anyone thinks about you. Since the Haverfords did something illegal in front of witnesses, Lee rightfully describes them as impudent.  
🗑
malevolent   show
🗑
show members of a branch of a Protestant Christian denomination.  
🗑
show a pointed or sharpened pole or stake. Many pickets held together can make a picket fence.  
🗑
piety   show

🗑
repertoire was vapid   show
🗑
scold   show
🗑
show a jarlike container to spit into; usually used to spit tobacco juice into.  
🗑

🗑
show almost always silent. Apparently, Aunt Alexandra's husband was a very quiet man.  
🗑
show something that is unsullied has been basically untouched or unused. The fact that Atticus's edition of the Code of Alabama is unsullied would, in this case, indicate that he seldom consults this book.  
🗑

🗑
