Dill was over
From To Kill a Mockingbird:
It began one evening after supper. Dill was over; Aunt Alexandra was in her chair in the corner, Atticus was in his; Jem and I were on the floor reading.
The context indicates that Dill was in the house (somebody knocks on the door at the end of this paragraph, and all three children look out the windows to see who it is). What does "Dill was over" mean? That he had come over, i.e., that was in the house?
