Felicity was far too delicate to be pioneering to Oregon Territory
Ironically, it was her parents who died en route, leaving her with
her Uncle Jon and that infuriating tease Arne, also orphaned, who
jeered at the ailing, self-pitying Missy Flissy. And Seattle turned
out nothing like a southern plantation with sunshine and slaves: it
was dense rainy forest with six houses, Indians and wild animals.
Surprisingly, the challenge suited her. Slowly she made friends
with the Indians and discovered a love of animals. Chief Seattle
befriended and encouraged her to make 'strong shining thoughts'.
She cut off her limp colorless plaits, tamed feral cats, learned to
cook and housekeep-and to tease Arne back They had almost become
friends, when Uncle Jon's family arrived-including the beautiful,
charming, golden-haired and genteel Adelaide who had always reduced
Felicity to sullen inferiority. And she was loudly horrified to
find Felicity tanned, sturdy, crop-curled, barefoot, cooking in a
log cabin, on friendly terms with Indians and skunks. She was also
too refined, delicate and ladylike to do anything at all. And to
make it worse, Arne fell heels over head for her charm and
beauty.
But Felicity had the last word, after all.
