Trial, anyway
_"Dill was in hearty agreement with this plan of action. Dill was

The whole story of this book is based around Scout's maturation around learning about life through the trial of Tom Robinson. The trial is the most significant scene in the book, and this sentence is a subtle mention to what the story is going to be.
Jem, Scout and Dill had already learned about Boo Radley and his family, then connect that to this sentence at the start of the chapter and the reader will learn that the story is about injustice.
This Youtube clip shows a student's project of the trial, and has the dialogue as an over voice. The subtle mention of a trial brings in the theme of justice and a theme of maturation, even though it's five chapters in to the story.
