When Francis talks to Scout he reveals an unpleasant feature of Aunt Alexandra. What is it? Does Scout learn anything from overhearing Atticus’ conversation with Uncle Jack? What might this be?

12 Chapter 10 Scout day that “Atticus was feeble”. Do you think that this is her view as she tells the story or her view when she was younger?
