"Maycomb's Ewells lived behind the town garbage dump in what once was a Negro cabin. The cabin's plank walls were supplemented with sheets of corrugated iron, it's roof shingled with tin cans hammered flat, so only it's general shape suggested its original design: square, with four tiny rooms opening onto a shotgun hall, the cabin rested uneasily upon four irregular lumps of limestone. It's windows were merely open spaces in the walls, which in the summertime were covered with greasy strips of cheese cloths to keep out the varmints that's feast on Maycomb's refuse." Pg. 227-228
