Describe what Flora learns at her first breakfast at Cold Comfort Farm. What do you think might pique Flora's interest in what she learns?

Flora finally wakes at eight thirty and surveys her room, deciding she likes the rich mahogany furniture, mirrors, fireplace, and magnificent if dirty curtains. She goes downstairs for breakfast and finds Adam in the kitchen, cutting turnips and watching the livestock through an open door. Flora declines porridge and makes herself tea, bread and butter. Adam tells her that Cold Comfort Farm is cursed, that seed will not grow and the cows are barren. He also tells her of old Mrs. Starkadder, who hasn't left her room in twenty years. Flora suspects this is the relative she has heard of named Aunt Ada Doom. Learning that Cold Comfort Farm is cursed would probably pose a challenge to Flora to make things right.
