This black and white illustration, appearing as the frontispiece to the [1898] A. L. Burt Company "The Home Library" reprint, depicts Alice telling John of her illness. A caption below the illustration quotes a sentence from page 422 and reads, "Alice's head found its old place on her brother's shoulder." In the illustration, Alice and John sit on a bench, Alice resting her head on John's shoulder, and John clasping Alice's hand. A young girl, possibly Ellen, stands behind them, looking out at the hills that extend into the distance behind the pair. Indistinct trees stand around the bench where Alice and John sit, framing the intimate scene.

This black and white frontispiece is from the 1879 Milner & Sowerby Reprint. It depicts Ellen's "friend", George Marshman, and Ellen together on the deck of the steamboat. Ellen is sitting on a bench, her ankles crossed and her hands clasped in her lap. Ellen has her head turned toward the lake with a forlorn face. George Marshman is standing, looking down at her, as he flips through his hymn book, reading it to give her comfort.
