Here is the sentence:
Christine sprang out of the bed and saw
bright sunlight streaming through the windows. She knew that Dr. Armour
would not tolerate another late, so Christine leapt
back under the covers and sleapt until noon.
The third verb, sleapt, is the problem. As you know, the sentence requires the simple past. Slept is the correctly spelled form.
