To Kill a Mockingbird: Chapter 15 audio

Chapter 15 happens the weekend before the trial of Tom Robinson. Everyone is nervous about it; the people who live in town are worried and concerned for Atticus and his family (and Tom and Tom's family, too), and the people who live in the country (Old Sarum) are mad and generally ugly and racist about the whole thing.

Some townspeople - friends of the Finches - come to the Finch house and stand around in the yard and talk to Atticus about their concerns. Atticus waves them off and pretty much says everything will be fine. Atticus' kids are worried about it, too.
