Chapter One: Moons Field Manor The ghost flashed blue behind the dark, daunting mansion’s tangled sea of tattered sheer. Its wispy edges warped and twisted into a man-shaped shimmer of mist.

Tom skimmed through the woods like a cat along the prostrate trunks of trees. He was startled by the sudden screaming of the bittern. He heard the quacking of a wild ducks, rising on the wing from some solitary
Seth and Twist trotted behind me. We drifted up the trail past mountain laurel, sagebrush, and small pines for almost half an hour then finally made it to the top of the ridge.

The approach of autumn was well on its way. “Autumn’s hand was lying heavy on the hillsides. Bracken was yellowing, heather passing from bloom, and the clumps of wild-wood taking the soft russet and purple of decline.

The trees were beginning to go bare in the frigid October weather, and the ground was covered in their dry, crispy leaves.

At one point, the children decide to try to get Boo to come out of his house by running up and touching it. Despite the children’s initial inclination to create fantastic and terribly imaginative descriptions of Radley, the neighborhood legend treats the children well.
