1) "I knew this wasn't the ideal arrangement because Isabel's folks are inclined to be dicty and they hadn't especially wanted Isabel to marry me.
2) My Guess: Given the context that Sonny doesn't want to live with Isablel I think dicty is a negative term that could mean judgmental or strict.
3) Definition: "high-class, snobbish, or haughty" (Dictionary.com)
4) Explanation: I was very close with my guess, now knowing the definition I can see that Sonny doesn't want to live with Isabel's parents because they are snobbish and won't understand him and may judge him. It is not the type of place he wants to live because he is not a your prototypical perfect child and is sensitive.
