It is clear right from the start of the passage that Scout does not like Francis. She described him as "the most boring child" she had ever met, and when Francis about what he received for Christmas, we almost see a hint of sarcasm as she replies with "that's nice" followed by "she lied".
Lee often makes Scout out like quite a mischievous, disobedient little girl in the way that she describes and looks upon other people like Francis, however it almost seems like she is a bit scared of Aunt Alexandra, as Aunt Alexandra greatly disapproves of Scout in "breeches" instead of a dress.
Despite this look of fear that Scout tries to hide, Lee still puts Scout across as being quite sarcastic towards Aunt Alexandra. She describes "Aunt Alexandra's vision" of Scout as "playing with small stoves, tea-sets, and wearing the Add-A-Pearl necklace she gave me". Phrasing it in this rather arrogant and scornful tone of voice, Lee presents Scout as seeing Aunt Alexandra as quite a ridiculous character who doesn't know what she is talking about, because she has never a girl herself before.
Finally, at the dinner table, it is clear again that Scout doesn't appreciate where she stands with Aunt Alexandra by the fact that Scout still sat at the little dinner table, "long after Jem and Francis graduated to the big table". Once again Lee makes Scout use this to Aunt Alexandra's disadvantage by Scout claiming that "Aunty had continued to isolate me". The use of the word 'isolate' in this sentence suggests that Scout and Aunt Alexandra didn't get on, because Aunt Alexandra doesn't see Scout as the sophisticated little girl that she is portrayed as through the beginning of the book, and therefore Scout's disobedience shows that Scout is trying to prove her wrong.
