Ehile Rizal was in London annotating the (ucesos de las $slas ilipinas, he boarded in the house

of the 1ec7ett family, within wal7ing distance of the 1ritish &useum. Bertrude, a blue-eyed and

bu>om girl was the oldest of the three 1ec7ett daughters. (he fell in lo%e with Rizal. Tottiehelped him in his painting and sculpture. 1ut Rizal suddenly left London for aris to a%oid

Bertrude, who was seriously in lo%e with him. 1efore lea%ing London, he was able to finish the

group car%ing of the 1ec7ett sisters. ;e ga%e the group car%ing to Bertrude as a sign of theirbrief relationship.

Nellie o%+"ead

Rizal ha%ing lost Leonor Ri%era, entertained the thought of courting other ladies. Ehile a guest

of the 1oustead family at their residence in the resort city of 1iarritz, he had befriended the two

pretty daughters of his host, )duardo 1oustead. Rizal used to fence with the sisters at the studio

of uan Luna. !ntonio Luna, uans brother and also a freuent %isitor of the 1ousteads, courted*ellie but she was deeply infatuated with Rizal. $n a party held by ilipinos in &adrid, a drun7en

!ntonio Luna uttered unsa%ory remar7s against *ellie 1oustead. This prompted Rizal to

challenge Luna into a duel. ortunately, Luna apologized to Rizal, thus a%erting tragedy for thecompatriots. Their lo%e affair unfortunately did not end in marriage. $t failed because Rizal

refused to be con%erted to the rotestant faith, as *ellie demanded and *ellies mother did not

li7e a physician without enough paying clientele to be a son-in-law. The lo%ers, howe%er, partedas good friends when Rizal left )urope.
