They say her flowers and her are going to Hell, because she spends too much time outside.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
They are disgusted at the fact that Miss Maudie does not act in the way a Foot washing baptist lady should -- their image is of her wearing a dress, indoors, reading The Bible. Instead, Miss Maudie wears overalls and goes outdoors to grow flowers. Therefore, they remark quite rudely that she and her flowers are "going to Hell". One particular footwashing baptist went so far as to imply to Miss Maudie that she was being very vain by utilizing God's outdoors so much and spending so little time reading the bible that she would, after death, "departeth in darkness" or "go to Hell". When Miss Maudie cleverly gave another part of the scripture to rebuke this comment ("A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance") the woman was shocked that Miss Maudie knew so much of the scripture, and had also embarassed her by implying that her heart was dark, so she departed in haste. The footwashing baptists underestimate Miss Maudie's command of the scripture because of the image she showcases to them, and Miss Maudie too knows that she will never be able to change the ways they interpret the bible- literally, which she believes is wrong, so she remains ostricized from their community and they both have equal disapproval for each other.
