Suzanne Jacoby: Jose rizal's Fling
Rizal moved to Brussels due to the high cost
of living in Paris. He stayed for a considerable
time, paying for room and board. His
landladies had a pretty niece named Suzanne
Jacoby.
She was Taken by Rizals Charm and gallantry
and provided him a good company. Rizal could
have flirted with the lady, considering that his
beloved Leonor was far away and he was a
lonely man in a strange and foreign land, but
he realized he could not deceive her
 Suzanne fell in love with Rizal, and wept when he left to
madrid in july 1890. she wrote to him in french

"Where are you now? Do you think of me once in a while? I am reminded of our tender
conversations, reading your letter, although it is cold and indifferent. Here in your letter I
have something which makes up for your absence. How pleased I would be to follow you,
to travel with you who are always in my thoughts.

You wish me all kinds of luck, but forget that in the absence of a beloved one a tender heart
cannot feel happy.

A thousand things serve to distract your mind, my friend; but in my case, I am sad, lonely,
always alone with my thoughts -- nothing, absolutely nothing relieves my sorrow. Are you
coming back? That's what I want and desire most ardently -- you cannot refuse me.

I do not despair and I limit myself to murmuring against time which runs so fast when it
carries us toward a separation, but goes so slowly when it's bringing us together again.

I feel very unhappy thinking that perhaps I might never see you again.

Goodbye! You know with one word you can make me very happy. Aren't you going to write
to me?"
