Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. In rainy
weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse
sagged in the square. Somehow, it was hotter then; a black dog suffered on a
summer's day; bony mules hitched to Hoover carts flicked flies in the sweltering
shade of the live oaks on the square. Men's stiff collars wilted by nine in the
morning. Ladies bathed before noon, after their three-o'clock naps, and by nightfall
were like stiff teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum. (6)
