Maycomb was a tired old town, even in 1932 when i first knew it. somehow, it was hotter then. 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 soft teacakes with frosting from sweating and sweet talcum. the day was twenty-four hours long, but it seemed longer. there's no hurry, for there's nowhere to go and nothing to buy... and no money to buy it with.

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
