About This Quote

When Jem Finch hears the news that Miss Maudie has decided to move to Atlanta he feels great loss. This person was his best friend. He faced all the hardships of growing up in the small town of Maycomb, Alabama, together with Miss Maudie. He had shared lots of good times and bad times together.

However, Jem did not let this misfortune get him down. When he heard the news, he did not say “Oh well” or “Oh, sir” or “Oh, ma’am.” Instead, he said "Don't you oh well me, sir" which was just what Miss Maudie felt like saying herself.
