Mrs. Lefay was Uncle Andrew’s godmother. She was known to be eccentric and perhaps even had “fairy blood.” For unspecified reasons, Mrs. Lefay spent time in prison before she died. Like Uncle Andrew, she disliked “ordinary” people. She passed down a mysterious box to Uncle Andrew, which proved to contain dust from another world. Uncle Andrew used the dust to create the fateful magical rings that transport Polly and Digory to Narnia.
