Nillywill and Hands-pansy were the most unimportant and happy pair of lovers the world has ever gained or lost. With them it had been a case of love at first blindness since the day when they had tumbled into each other's arms in the same cradle. And Hands-pansy, when he first saw her, did not discover that Nillywill was a real princess hiding her birthright in the home of a poor peasant; nor did Nillywill, when she first saw Hands, see in him the baby-beginnings of the most honest and good heart that ever sprang out of poverty and humble parentage. So from her end of their little crib she kicked him with her royal rosy toes, and he from his kicked back and laughed: and thus, as you hear, at first blindness they fell head over ears in love with one another.

Autorenporträt
English dramatist, illustrator, writer, and social campaigner Laurence Housman. He was born on July 18, 1865, in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England. The gifted Housman family also featured the poet A.E. Housman, who was more well-known than his brother. Laurence Housman made important contributions to a number of literary and artistic disciplines. He started off as an illustrator, creating illustrations for magazines and books. He worked on several projects with his sister, Clemence Housman. Afterwards, he became well-known for his plays, "Pains and Penalties" (1898) and "Little Plays of St. Francis" (1900) being two of his most well-known pieces. Apart from his creative pursuits, Housman was a devoted social activist. He participated in a number of progressive causes, such as the fight for women's suffrage. His writings, like the novel "The Field of Clover" (1898), and his advocacy both mirrored his views on social justice and gender equality. He had a long and varied life, and in his senior years, he remained involved in a number of causes.
