Quote: Anybody who went up to the house once oughta not to still run every time he passses it.
Scout was being sarcastic towards Jem Finch. Jem Finch was always afraid of Boo Radley but not when he walked beside Scout and Walter Cunningham. Jem Finch wanted to show to them that he was brave so he boasted and said that he once went all the way up to Boo Radley's house which he did'nt. Therfor Scout said these quote to the clouds above but was actually refering to Jem Finch, that the next time dat "somebody" should not run away.
Quote: "There's some folks who don't eat like us ,'Calpurnia whispered fiercely,'but you ain't to contradict 'em at the table when they don't.
The folks Calpurnia was refering to is Walter Cunningham. Walter Cunningham was from another place so he eats food differently.The way he ate might be weired to Scout and he might have commented something, that was why Calpurnia called Scout to the kitchen to give him a earful not to say anything that might offend Walter Cunningham.
