Emmy was plain and mousey-why would Ruerd look her way? Ermentrude Foster helped the family finances by working at St Luke’s Hospital. While she often spoke her mind to Professor Ruerd ter Mennolt, who was sometimes impatient, he did offer practical aid with Emmy’s difficulties.

Ruerd couldn’t understand why, with a beautiful fiancée in Anneliese, he troubled with Emmy, but still he invited her to his home in Holland for Christmas.
