In Chapter 29, Scout recounts the story of how she and Jem were attacked earlier that night. Scout tells Sheriff Tate that someone yanked Mr. Ewell off her, but she wasn't sure who it was. Scout thought that Jem had recovered and pulled Mr. Ewell off, and asks who actually saved her. Sheriff Tate tells Scout that the man who yanked Mr. Ewell off her is standing in the corner of the room. Scout looks up and finally sees Boo Radley for the first time. Scout says that he had white, sickly hands that had never seen the sun. His hands were so white that they stood out against Jem's dull, cream colored wall. (Lee 362) Scout describes Boo Radley as having a thin frame, a jutting out chin, and hollow cheeks. She thought Boo was blind because he had gray, colorless eyes. Boo also had thin, feathery hair on top of his head.
