 ====== Lizzie and John Jardine ======
+Lizzie's stepmother Nora wrote in a clear-eyed way to her friend and step-daughter Rosa about her step-children and children. Here is what she had to say about Lizzie in 1884:\\
+\\
+//Lizzie is more virtuously & meritoriously cheerful now that the world pipes to her tune. She thinks babies the greatest blessing, sent by God, & sure to be cared for by a watchful Providence – is quite prepared for 13 – (as you were when Maud was born) & cannot understand anyone being discontented in a world which promises such a life of love & happiness to herself. Well she has not asked much from Providence to make her happiness with – only love & home – warmth – husband & children - & she is of such a healthy habit of mind & has such a firm trust in providence that her contentment is likely to last, especially as the Doctors say that her health is likely to hold good, while she is bearing children.//((Nora to Rosa, 15 June 1884))\\
+\\
+On 27 April 1882, the year before she married Elizabeth Catherine Murray-Prior acquired her own stock which was kept on Maroon, with the brand A1A.((Find My Past: Queensland Horse And Cattle Brands 1882, p.997.))\\

 {{:lizzie_m-p.jpg?150|}} This photo, from Nora M-P's album, is a rather indistinct one of Lizzie as a child. The next 5 are from her father's album. As they are labelled Lizzie Murray-Prior, they are presumably all before her marriage. The first is definitely so, as she too young to have her hair up, a rite of passage indicating the girl had become a woman.\\
