Because of her great love and knowledge of books, she found
employment in the library where she soon became indispensable.
There were those at Belmont who recognized and revered
exceptional ability and were not threatened by it.
On being questioned as to what she knew about work conditions in NERD,
she observed that from what she had heard from Diana, it wasn't a very
happy place to work. Directing her answer toward Trenchant, she divulged,
"You were not my only source for this information. My aunt works in the
department and I heard from both of you enough to form that impression.
"Just last month, my aunt told me that you may have been given
an excessive course load in an attempt to break your spirit
or drive you out of the department, much in the same way that
she was given a very minimum salary increase, in an attempt
to get her to move on."
Andrea continued by confirming that the laboratory manual that
had been used in the course for two years was indeed written by Diana
in her own home, with her own equipment and on her own time.
She, Andrea, had witnessed this and had helped with the proof reading.
