How does Scout show courage at the jailhouse?
As for the jail: Atticus went to the jailhouse to protect Tom Robinson from the mob he knew was coming for him. Although he was alone against several men, Atticus held his ground until his children showed up. Only then did Atticus seem truly afraid because they were in danger. He'd expected to get roughed up a little in the struggle to protect Tom Robinson, but he never imagined that his children would be in the way. That's when his courage failed him, but Scout's complete innocence saved them all.

To Kill A Mockingbird (Pg. 188)Scout notices that Mayella glared intensely at Atticus (like she never had seen before) as she leaves her stand and walks by Atticus's table because Atticus treated her politely, and she thought he was mocking her because of this, but mainly because he asked her so many questions that proved her story wrong.

For example, Jem gets upset that Miss Maudie calls Atticus a "nigger-lover", Atticus hears this but still treats Miss Maudie in a civil way like a gentlemen.
