Atticus notices that Scout has a blanket wrapped around her shoulders and scolds
her for straying from the one spot he told her to stay in. Scout explains that
neither she nor Jem left the Radley yard and that they don't know where the
blanket came from. They realize that Boo Radley must have slipped the blanket
over Scout while she and Jem were engrossed by the fire. Mr. Radley, his
brother, had been busy helping everyone else at Miss Maudie's house, so Boo is
the only person that could have given Scout the blanket.

Chapter 7
Jem went and he got his pants. School started and it was just as bad as the first grade or worse for Scout. Jem said he never told Scout what happened that night. When he went to get his pants they were folded nicely and sown up. Someone is watching them. It’s like the person knew what Jem was going to do. In the tree there was another little gift, there was a ball of twine. They decided everything in there was their property. Jem and Scout kept on receiving gifts in the knotwhole. One day on their way home they see that the whole was cemented. Later they talk to Mr. Nathan Radley and he admits that he put the cement there, because the tree was getting rotten.
Chapter 8
It is the coldest winter in Maycomb County since 1885, and it is also snowing. School is cancelled that day because of the snow, so Jem and Scout want to play in the snow. They're trying to build a snowman, but there wasn't enough snow. So, they went over to Miss Maudie's, who gladly gave up all of her snow; she doesn't want her plants to freeze up because of it. Soon, there is a lot more snow for Scout and Jem to build a snowman, and they did. They made it look like Mr. Avery. Atticus was very proud of Jem for making the snowman. Later, Atticus rushes Scout and Jem out of their house, and they only figure out why when they arrive at Miss Maudie's house which caught fire. Atticus pushes Scout and Jem to the Radley's yard. Without knowing, Boo put a blanket on each of them, and left. Scout and Jem didn't even realize until the whole thing was over, Atticus, Scout, and Jem went back to their house, and Atticus told them while they were having hot chocolate. Calpurnia told Scout and Jem not to go to school that day because neither of them got any sleep.
