Final answer:
Scout asks Uncle Jack to promise not to tell Atticus about her cursing and fighting, after an incident with her cousin Francis in 'To Kill a Mockingbird'.
Step-by-step explanation:
In To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout asks Uncle Jack to promise not to tell Atticus about her cursing and fighting. After Scout has a fight with her cousin Francis, who provokes her by insulting Atticus, Uncle Jack disciplines Scout without hearing her side of the story.
Later, Scout explains the situation to Uncle Jack and makes him promise not to tell Atticus because she fears further repercussions and feels she has learned her lesson.
