She says: Atticus, you commented before on "The Golden Rule". For me, the most poignant illustration of this occurs as Scout stands on Boo Radley's porch and for just a moment glimpses her world, their world, through his eyes. As I reflect on this scene I realize there are probably a couple of proverbial porches I need to stand on.
He says: Well said, Scout!
Over the course of the book, Scout matures a lot. In the passage you're talking about, she has reached a level of empathy and understanding far beyond her 9 years. And I think she has learned the lesson that Atticus was trying to teach about respect for another person, which begins with, as you so aptly phrase it, "looking through his eyes".
