Scout and her family go to Finch's landing, to spend Christmas with Aunt Alexandra, and unfortunately, Francis, who Scout describes as "the most boring child I had ever met." But, Francis gets a little bit intense when he calls Atticus "a nigger-lover" and that "he's ruin' the family, that's what he's doin'". So, Scout defends her dad's honor by giving him a good punch that "split my knuckle to the bone on his front teeth." She continues to punch him until Uncle Jack stops her.
Defending her father's honor might seem like a good thing, but Atticus had strictly forbid her to fight anyone who said anything about him. She had done really well, until good ol' Francis came along.
