In Chapter 24, Atticus interrupts Aunt Alexandra's missionary circle to ask Calpurnia to travel with him to Helen Robinson's home so that he can bring her the news of Tom's death. In Chapter 25, Scout retells Dill's story about Jem's visit to the Robinson home. Dill says that he and Jem had just finished swimming and flagged down Atticus as he was driving towards them. Atticus eventually allowed Jem and Dill to ride with him to Helen Robinson's home and explained the story to them in the car. Dill tells Scout that when they arrived at the Negro cabins, they saw several children playing marbles in the yard. Atticus then asked for Helen, and Sam ran to get her. Atticus then helped Helen's younger daughter down the steps and gave her to Calpurnia as he told Helen the news about her husband. Dill then tells Scout that Helen suddenly fell to the ground upon hearing the news, and both Cal and Atticus had to help her up. Dill said that after Atticus and Cal took Helen into the cabin, they stayed inside for a long time until Atticus came out.
