Scout decided to keep her ham costume on after the show in order to "hide my mortification under it." Scout had missed her cue during the show, and Mrs. Merriweather had to call out "Pork!" at least three times before Scout finally made her very late entrance. Her appearance was apparently so hilarious that Judge Taylor had to leave the auditorium; he was "slapping his knees so hard" that his wife had to bring him some water and one of his pills. It's a lucky thing that Scout kept on her chicken mesh costume, because it proved to be the insulation that saved her from the slashing knife wielded later by Bob Ewell.
