stars-in-shadow-shimmering:

Atticus looked like he needed cheering up. I ran to him and hugged him and kissed him with all my might. “Yes, sir, I understand,” I reassured him. “Mr. Tate was right.”

Atticus disengaged himself and looked at me. “What do you mean?”

“Well, it’d be sort of like shootin’ a mockingbird, wouldn’t it?”

Atticus put his face in my hair and rubbed it. When he got up and walked across the porch into the shadows, his youthful step had returned. Before he went inside the house, he stopped in front of Boo Radley. “Thank you for my children, Arthur,” he said.

To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee
