The three of them, Jem, Dill and Scout sneak at night into the Radleys to see Boo.
It is the last day of the summer, so if they are killed, they are only going to miss school.
They spit on the hinge, but flee when they heard the sound of shotgun.
But, Jem loses his pants on the fence when they were fleeing.
The excuses they gave to Atticus for losing his pants is that Jem lose it to Dill in a strip poker game with matches.

Quotes From Chapter 8
First Quote: Conversation with Atticus and Scout:
Scout: 'The world's endin', Atticus! Please do something - !'
Atticus: 'No it's not,' he said.'It's snowing.'
Through this quote from Atticus and Scout, we can see that Scout has not seen snow before. This led him to think that the world is ending. When Jem asked Atticus on how to make a snowman, Atticus told Jem that he does not know how to. Even though Atticus does not want to dissapoint Jem and Scout, he doubted that there will be enough snow to even make a snowball. To make sure that there will be enough snow, Jem discouraged Scout from wasting it. They then walked over to Miss Maudie house when Jem asked her a few questions before he finally asked her if they can borrow some of her snow when she agreed in immediate response.
Second Quote: Conversation with Jem and Miss Maudie:
Miss Maudie: 'Jem Finch, you Jem Finch!'
Scout: 'Miss Maudie's callin' you, Jem.'
Miss Maudie: 'You all stay in the middle of the yard. There's some thrift buried under the snow near the porch. Don't step on it!'
Jem: 'Yessum!' He called. 'It's beautiful, ain't it, Miss Maudie?'
Miss Maudie: 'Beautiful my hind foot! If it freezes tonight, it'll carry off all my azaleas!'
From this quote, we know that Miss Maudie hated the snow for several reasons like carrying off all her azaleas(flowery shrubs). But, Jem commended that the snow was beautiful in which Miss Maudie strongly disagreed. Following this, Miss Maudie was bending over some bushes, wrapping them in burlap bags to keep it 'warm' in which Jem was puzzled in why she done so.
Conversation with Jem And Atticus:
Atticus: ' Son, I can't tell what you're going to be - an engineer, a lawyer, or a potrait painter. You've perpetrated a near libel in the front yard. We've got to disguise this fellow.' ('Fellow' refers to the snowman)
Atticus: 'I don't care what you do, as long as you do something,' he said. 'You can't go around making caricatures of the neighbours.'
Jem: 'Ain't a characterture,' Jem said. 'It looks just like him.'
Atticus: ' Mr Avery might not think so.'
From this third quote, we know that Atticus is against Jem im making caricatures of people which Jem replied that it 'just' looks like him only. In order to modify the snowman into somrthing else, Jem went to Miss Maudie's house and grabbed the sunhat and hedge-clippers from the back yard and put on the sunhat on the top of the head of the snowman and jammed the hedge-clippers into the crook of the snowman's arm.

Quotes from Chapter 7
This is a conversation involving three people: Jem, Scout and Mr Nathan(also known as Mr Radley).
'Hidy do, Mr Nathan.' Jem said.
'Morning Jem, Scout,' said Mr Radley(also known as Mr Nathan), as he went by.
'Mr Radley,' said Jem.
'Mr Radley, ah - did you put cement in that hole down in that tree down yonder?'
'Yes', he said. ' I filled it up.'
'Why'd you do it, sir?'
'Tree's dying. You plug 'em with cement when they're sick. You ought to know that, Jem.'
Meaning:
This conversation had led to Jem being deep in thought and working himself into bad humour. This shows that Jem was moody at that time. Words like 'yonder' means distant but within sight in order to point to something far and visible. In the conversation, Mr Radley filled the tree with cement as it is sick. This may be a traditional way in healing the trees back then.
