English & Literature Who is Ernestine Sage from Behind the Lines and what is their importance? Asked by bookragstutor on 25 Oct 12:59 Last updated by anonymous on 07 Mar 13:26
Ernestine (Ernie) Sage is the fiancée of First Lieutenant Kenneth McCoy. They meet occasionally whenever McCoy is in Washington, and exchange telephone messages whenever possible during McCoy's combat duties in the Philippines. She is an irreverent, high-spirited woman in her 20s who obviously loves him as much as he loves her. Their relationship provides the only real semblance of a romance during the novel.
