Chapter+19+Study+Guide+of+To+Kill+a+Mockingbird

**//Summary of the Chapter://**
In this chapter Tom Robinson is still being accused of raping Mayella. By now there have been obvious suggestions that Mayella could be lying and now Tom is summoned to the stand to give his side of the story. He says that he had been helping her for a while and did the odd job without being paid. Examples such as breaking up a chiffarobe, fixing a door or hammering in a nail. When the accused rape took place Tom mentions that he went into the room and Mayella was saying things to him. Such as "I took all the kids to the ice-cream place so that we can be alone." and then proceeded to fall to her knees and say she had never been with a black man before. Tom goes on to basically say that after this had happened he pushed her off him and ran away.
