Allusions from To Kill a Mockingbird???

Question

Three in particular I need to know the meaning of are:
"putting on of gold and costly apparel"
"disturbance between the North and South"
"a pocket Merlin"

Answer 1

Go to the other question you posted for your response.

There is a wonderful resource on the internet that lists all of the allusions, chapter by chapter.

While I find researching answers interesting, I hope you will look at this as a good way to learn about history through the eyes of Harper Lee.

Answer 2

go to www.sparknotes.com and look for the book. Then hold control+F and type in the quotes, it should tell you what it means in present day slang.

If you're trying to access it at school and it is locked, use a proxy such as www.iwantmyhotmail.com
