I enjoyed reading Andrew Lang's analysis, but I think he and others make far too much of the cover images. That bottom centre image could be a ghost on the let of it, it's pale enough, or it could be the action before the murder/attempted murder ... or any number of explanations. The same sorts of ambiguity exists for the figures running up the stairs. And as for one of stair climbers pointing to Jasper in the image above, it looks to me that he's pointing either to Drood or Rosa, or maybe that small figure on the left of the steps in the top centre. Is that my favourite, Crisparkle?
