In Chapter 27, what happened at Judge Taylor's house in To Kill a Mockingbird?

At the
beginning of ,mentions three events that indirectly involved her family and Bob Ewell. First,
Scout recalls how Bob Ewell was fired from the WPA for laziness and blamedfor
"getting" his job. The second strange thing happened to Judge Taylor. On a Sunday
night, Judge Taylor was quietly reading alone in his home when he heard an irritating scratching
noise coming from the rear of his house. When he got up and went to the back porch, he found the
screen door swinging open. Judge Taylor then saw the shadow of a man running from the side of
his house. When Judge Taylor's wife returned home from church later that night, she found her
husband reading with a shotgun over his lap. Bob Ewell was the man responsible for prowling
around Judge Taylor's home in hopes of seeking revenge. Fortunately for Judge Taylor, Bob Ewell
is a coward and did not go any further while he was snooping around his
home.
