Similarly, religious plays were banned in the Netherlands in 1539, the Papal States in 1547 and in Paris in 1548.

Please answer this: Given the following passage  "Tom Robinson is the chief example among several innocents destroyed carelessly or deliberately throughout the novel. However, scholar Christopher Metress connects the mockingbird to Boo Radley: "Instead of wanting to exploit Boo for her own fun (as she does in the beginning of the novel by putting on gothic plays about his history), Scout comes to see him as a 'mockingbird'—that is, as someone with an inner goodness that must be cherished."

Question: When does the conversation between Scout and Atticus occur?
