An Old-fashioned Girl by Betty Neels

The doctor meets his match...

Patience Martin is a country girl with

a sharp tongue and absolutely no interest in the latest fashions. She's hardly

the sort of woman who normally attracts the attention of wealthy Dutch surgeon

Julius van der Beek!

But something about Patience makes her stand out -

and it isn't just because they were snowbound together. Not that it means he'll

fall in love with her - not with the glamorous Sylvia van Teule making it very

clear she expects to become his wife...
