Mousewaffle, that is very kind of you. And thank you for the generous provision of your lovely cover -- beautiful job, that. I will upload with the new and improved cover-- with much more appropriate atmosphere. So much better suited to the tone of MRJ's writing!

I found illustrations on hathitrust for "Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You" {senior moment}LOST HEARTS from Pall Mall magazine Dec 1895 (as far as I can find out, they are the only other illustrations done for any of his stories), but they have a terribly pronounced plaid cross-hatch pattern (it seems to be omnipresent in Google magazine scans), and I could not find a way to process them to look much better. I might give them another try this weekend.

Cheers,
gG
