Mrs. Merriweather while at Aunt Alexandra's gathering says this quote. In this quote she is trying to say that Maycomb is filled with people that want to do good, but when they try their sense of good is different from people like Atticus's. This is mostly aimed at the racism in Maycomb. An example of this comes on page 282 when Judge Taylor asks for the jury's verdict they answer with "Guilty ... guilty ... guilty ... guilty..."(Lee 282). This jury believes they did the right thing putting away Tom Robinson due to the fact that he was black. Because of the way they were brought up they thought that all "negroes" were far from law-abiding citizens. This isn't because the men who made up the jury were bad people but simply because they were brought up in a racist town. That is what Mrs. Merriweather meant when she said "I tell you there are some good but misguided people in this town."

There is a good number of people who believe that infidelity is a common tendency OR there are a good number of people who believe that infidelity is a common tendency Which is the right sentence?
You must keep in mind that people is plural for person; it is signifying that we are talking about more then just one person. Therefore, for your subject-verb agreement is correctly portrayed in the second model. "There are a good number of people who believe that infidelity is a common tendency."

What does mrs merriweather say about her cooks and field hands?
Mrs Merriweather is part of the missionary circle, a group of Christian ladies in Maycomb dedicated to helping people in poorer countries. However she complains and is scornful about her black servants which do most of her work in gardening, housekeeping etc. with little pay and also live a poor life like the people the missionary circle is supposed to help. Through this and many other examples in Chapter 22 in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' she is revealed to be a very religious, hypocritical and racist woman.
In To Kill a Mockingbird what is the irony of you are simply not being Christian?
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," the irony lies in the fact that Mrs. Merriweather, who expresses disapproval of Atticus Finch defending Tom Robinson because it is un-Christian, is herself hypocritical and unkind towards her black cooks. This highlights the theme of hypocrisy and racism present in society.
