“Miss L” , anonymous lady

Shortly, after losing Segunda Katigbak, he paid court young woman in Calamba.  In his student memoirs, he called her simply “Miss L”, describing her as “fair with

seductive and attractive eyes”.  After visiting her in her house several times, he suddenly stopped his wooing, and the romance died a natural death.  Nobody today knows who this woman was.  Rizal himself did not give her name.  hence, her identity is lost to history.  However, he gave two reasons for his change of heart, namely (1) the sweet memory of Segunda was still fresh in his heart and (2) his father did not like the family of “Miss L”.
