Spitting in Dishes
This is an extremely important event because Linda (Jacobs) describes to the reader some of the events that have taken place in the home of Mr. Flint. If the cook does not prepare the food on time or there is something wrong with the food, Mrs. Flint would go to the kitchen and spit in all the dishes right after they had been served to the family. She did this so that the servants ate nothing, because the servants were only able to eat what the family allowed them to have. Mrs. Flint kept close eye on the kitchen and she knew if one of the servants took food from her kitchen, they were only allowed to eat what she thought that she thought they deserved. This is also a demonstration of how cruel Mrs. Flint was as well as how far she would go in order to be control of her house.
