an overflow of words

'No, everybody's gotta learn, nobody's born knowin'. That Walter's as smart as he can be, he just gets held back sometimes because he has to stay out and help his daddy. Nothin's wrong with him. Naw, Jem, I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks.'

Jem turned around and punched his pillow. When he settled back his face was cloudy. He as going into one of his declines, and I grew weary. His brows came together; his mouth became a thin line. He was silent for a while.

'That's just what I thought, too,' he said at last, 'when I was your age. If there's just one kind of folks, why can't they get along with each other? If they're all alike, why do they go out of their way to despise each other? Scout, I think I'm beginning to understand something. I think I'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in the house all the time... it's because he wants to stay inside.'
