This black and white illustration, appearing on page 118b of the [1890] Frederick Warne and Co. reprint, depicts Ellen and Nancy at the brook. Ellen sits next to the water with her hands in her lap as Nancy stands behind Ellen looking down at her. A line of trees extends across the background of the illustration and several bushes surround Ellen and Nancy. A caption below the illustration quotes a sentence from page 123 and reads, "'Look here, Nancy!' cried Ellen." The excitement conveyed in the caption is subdued by the stillness conveyed in the illustration as Ellen sits quietly by the brook.
