He turned his head over his shoulder as he spoke, and his tone was impatient. Dinah, or Diana as she was really called, lay flat on her chest by the schoolroom fire.

"Dinah, do hurry up!"
A small boy with close-cropped brown head and dark eager eyes was drumming with his fingers on the windowpane. He turned his head over his shoulder as he spoke, and his tone was impatient.
Dinah, or Diana as she was really called, lay flat on her chest by the schoolroom fire. Big sheets of paper were before her, and with a good deal of sucking of her pencil she was writing rapidly. She was very thin and pale; her nurse said she was wiry, and her fair hair was bobbed in the usual fashion.
"How do you spell alarming, two l's and two m's?" she asked, without raising her head.

Autorenporträt
Amy Le Feuvre was the pen name of Amelia Sophia Le Feuvre, an evangelical Christian author of children's books and short stories who lived in England from 1861 to 1929. She published for various magazines, including The Quiver, and is the author of over 65 books. The topics of Le Feuvre's paintings notably reflected her religious convictions. She also published under the alias Mary Thurston Dodge, despite frequently using her own name. A Strange Courtship, her last book, was released in 1931, two years after her passing. Her first novel, Eric's Good News, was initially published in 1894. Le Feuvre is most known for her 1896 book Teddy's Button, which, like many of her other works, centres on a misbehaving youngster with good intentions that grownups fail to see. Revell in Chicago, Dodd Mead in New York, Religious Tract Society in London, and Hodder & Stoughton in London were some of her publishers. At Exeter, Devonshire, she passed away after 68 productive years.
