A difference of
 opinion will surround
            this question.  There are some that think Mayella may not be referring to
            anything more than the kisses most fathers give their daughters out of love, protection,
            etc. 
 However, in the context of the questioning at the trial and the timing
            of Mayella's answers,
 there's a chance that Bob may have engaged in some
            inappropriate actions with Mayella.  Did he
 rape her?  Nothing real concrete
            is evident to support that, but there might very well be
 something more than
            simple physical abuse occurring at the Ewell house.  If Bob had been
 involved
            in inappropriate behavior with his daughter, jealousy would have been another
            motive
 for him to legally attack Tom (and physically attack Mayella).  Like
            most great stories, you'll
 get to decide for yourself what you truly believe,
            but there is certainly many questions
 surrounding this family that don't get
            answered very clearly.
