Chapter Summaries & Analyses
That night, DuBose tells Jack that he should be with his sister during surgery, and she will keep working. Jack takes her to a field nearby and teaches her how to shoot a gun.
DuBose talks to Craig Baker. Although he refuses to give her any information, he is sympathetic. DuBose asks what kind of law he practices, and he pointedly tells her that he is a divorce lawyer.
On her way back to the office, DuBose stops at a church. She hesitates outside. She formerly considered herself Catholic, but slowly stopped going to church as an adult and now is unsure of her faith. However, she finally chooses to go in and kneels in a pew to pray.
She is interrupted by a priest, Father Matthew, who asks her what she is doing. He tells her that she is not a member and shouldn’t be there. However, he is stopped by another priest, Father Kelly, who tells him that he should be going to a meeting. Father Matthew makes a comment about making sure that DuBose doesn’t steal anything, then leaves.
Bothered by Father Matthew’s overt racism, DuBose goes to leave, but Father Kelly stops her. The two have a conversation about God and the Golden Rule.
