Det finns ingen som kan tämja lilla Lady Noggs. Varken hennes morbror premiärministern, sekreteraren Mr Borrodaile eller guvernanten Miss Caldecott har en chans. Den vilda Noggs bryr sig inte om konventioner och titlar och behandlar alla hon möter med samma häftigt ombytliga humör. Ständigt chockerar hon vuxenvärlden runt sig med sin otyglade personlighet och sin frispråkighet. Tidvis belönas denna rättframhet, men det är också ofta som Noggs utmanar sina vårdnadshavares tålamod till bristningsgränsen.Edgar Jepson (1863-1938) var en engelsk författare med en bred utgivning.

"One evening last year I perceived in the waiting-room of my newspaper, Le Matin, a man dressed in black, his face heavy with the darkest despair, whose dry, dead eyes seemed to receive the images of things like unmoving mirrors. He was seated; and there rested on his knees a sandalwood box inlaid with polished steel. An office-boy told me that he had sat there motionless, silent, awaiting my coming, for three mortal hours." (Extract) Gaston Leroux (1868-1927) was a French journalist and author of detective fiction.
