About this book

Flora Lyndsay; or, Passages in an Eventful Life is by Susanna Moodie, published in two volumes in London in 1854. This is the first volume, and its dedication is signed from Belleville, Upper Canada. The contents list names chapters such as Matrimonial Dialogue, The Old Captain, Flora's Outfit, Miss Wilhelmina calls upon Flora and Old Jarvis and his Dog Neptune.

In one passage Mrs. Kitson comes over to complain about her husband's clearing-up days, when broken dishes and cracked plates end up on the lawn and he storms at her for throwing things away. She adds that she has borne him seventeen children. Another passage shows a household in upheaval: strange dogs fight, a baby cries, and Old Captain Kitson bargains with sailors over the price of a boat to carry the emigrants to the steamer.
