Miss Stephanie Crawford
Miss Stephanie Crawford is the neighbourhood gossip, spreading rumours about everyone, under the pretext of concern. She's always telling her neighbours about everything she sees, hears and suspects, even when, like Miss Maudie Atkinson, they don't want to hear about it. Miss Stephanie's rumours lead to many things, but the residents of Maycomb generally either don't notice because Miss Stephanie disguises her gossiping as good will, or because they are privately interested in everything that she finds out.
Miss Stephanie Crawford is mentioned in the chapter because Scout is worried about what she may think of how she acts, in this case, how she and Boo Radley walk home. Miss Stephanie generally disapproves of Scout's behaviour, and is infinitely curious about Boo Radley, and Scout realises that she needs to make sure that their is nothing for her to remark upon, both for Boo's sake and her own.
