Scout is finally able to climb out of her childhood sense of time and space. She stands in front of the window "to the left of the brown door”. It dawns on Scout that this is what Boo would have seen all these years. Scout watched the neighborhood unfold itself to her and it occurred to her that this was why Boo cared so much about them.

Miss Stephanie Crawford crossed the street to tell the latest to Miss Rachel. Miss Maudie bent over her azaleas. It was summertime, and two children scampered down the sidewalk toward a man approaching in the distance. The man waved, and the children raced each other to him. It was still summertime, and the children came closer. A boy trudged down the sidewalk dragging a fishingpole behind him. A man stood waiting with his hands on his hips. Summertime, and his children played in the front yard with their friend, enacting a strange little drama of their own invention.

The evidence is that they found a knife and it should have never happened in the first place at all!!
