"The girls chatted about the lesson, and about the relative advantage of going to service, or learning dress-making and machine-work, but Kate took little part in the discussion to-day; and when they reached the corner where she must leave them, she felt glad to get away, to think out the problem she had been puzzling over all the afternoon. She had not told any of her schoolfellows of the message she had been charged to deliver to her mother, so no troublesome questions or surmises had been propounded by them, and if she could only contrive to banish the whole subject from her mind-forget it entirely, her future would be settled before the next Sunday came round."

Autorenporträt
Emma Leslie was a British novelist, known for her contributions to children's literature and stories that often dealt with themes of family, moral growth, and social issues. Leslie came from a respectable family and wrote during a time when literature was increasingly addressing the concerns of the working class and moral conduct. Her stories often focused on the emotional challenges faced by individuals, particularly young women, as they navigated societal expectations, family responsibilities, and personal desires. Leslie's works, such as Brought Out of Peril, reflect the concerns of her era, exploring the tension between duty and personal aspirations. Her characters frequently grapple with complex moral dilemmas, highlighting the importance of sacrifice, responsibility, and selflessness in the face of adversity. Her writing style was accessible, aimed at young readers, but also resonated with a wider audience due to the universal themes of familial love and social duty. She remains a significant figure in the world of moral fiction for young audiences.
