Atticus visits the Radley house to pay his respects upon the death of Mrs. Radley. Scout and Jem suspect that Boo caused her death and are eager to prove their theory. They are disappointed to learn from Atticus that she died of natural causes. Then Scout asks Atticus if he "saw Mr. Arthur." Atticus sternly replies, "I did not." That is all she hears about it.

Why does scout quiz Atticus about his visit to the Radleys house in chapter 8?

In chapter 26 Scout and Atticus have a minor discussion about Boo Radley. Most of the paragraphs in the beginning are her thoughts on how she's changed her thoughts about Boo. It's not so terrifying to her anymore. She even "felt a twinge of remorse, when passing by the old place, at ever having taken part in what must have been sheer torment to Arthur Radley--What reasonable recluse wants children peeping through his shutters..."She goes on to fantasize about how it would be if she were ever to see him. She wonders about their conversation and how they'd act. The only conversation she has with Atticus is a brief mentioning to him that she'd like to get a quick glimpse of him before she died.What he reveals is that he knew all along that Jem had lost his pants that night--and that the 3 of them were running around Boo's backyard. He says to her, "You know Mr. Nathan shoots at every shadow he sees, even shadows that leave size-four bare footprints. You were lucky not to be killed."That is how he shows her that he knows a lot more about the incident than they ever suspected he knew.Sources:

Jem and Scout plus Dill want to see if they can make Boo Radley a mysterious man that only comes out of his house at night to look through peoples windows and stare a them while he eats cats and squirrels,to come out of his house.Many times they have snuck in to the Radley front yard and tried to give him a note but their father Atticus has caught them and told them to leave the Radleys alone.Scout encounters a strange visit from Boo Radley when there was a fire in Maycomb but Scout was too engaged in the outbreak of the fire that she did not notice when Boo draped a wool blanket across her shoulders :)My prediction:since Maycomb is a rumerous town that Boo is not a freak just does not like to be bothered during the day,like nocturnal animals:)
