Question

Miss Maudie's house catches fire. After all of the commotion, Scout realizes that she has

something that isn't hers. What is it? Who put it on her?

Answer 1

Miss Maudie was attempting to keep her plants from freezing because of the cold weather and left the stove on. A kitchen flue is a type of exhaust system that ventilates the kitchen area. Miss Maudie believes that the kitchen flue was probably clogged which allowed the smoke to accumulate and caused the fire to spread.
