In the beginning of Chapter 3, Scout is rubbing Walter Cunningham's nose in the dirt because he was the reason Miss Caroline "punished" her the day before. Jem intervenes and tells Scout to get off Walter because she is bigger than him. Jem attempts to make peace with Walter by asking him if he would like to come eat dinner at the Finch residence. Jem mentions to Walter that his father is a friend of the family and that they would be glad to have him over. Walter is a bit apprehensive at first because of his recent scuffle with Scout, but he eventually agrees to join the Finches for dinner. Jem's courteous invitation displays his maturity and kindness. While at dinner Walter and Atticus carry on an intriguing conversation about farm problems.
