This black and white illustration, appearing on page 400a of the 1892 J. B. Lippincott Company "New Edition" reprint, depicts the horse whipping. Below the illustration a caption quotes a sentence from page 401 of the text and reads, "Ellen hardly saw how, it was so quick." In the illustration, Mr. Saunders lays in the grass next to the road after having been thrown by John, who stands tall, holding the reigns of his horse on the path. Ellen sits on her horse near John, looking back at the scene with uncertainty. Behind Ellen, an open field extends into the distance, framed by trees that stand near the path. Mountains can be seen in the background of the illustration.

This illustration, appearing on page 406a of the [1910] S.W. Partridge & Co., Ltd. edition, depicts Ellen being comforted by her Uncle Lindsay as her aunt, Lady Keith, and her grandmother watch from across the table. A caption below the illustration quotes a sentence from page 407 of the text and reads, "'Come, come, what is the matter Ellen?'" The room where Ellen and her Uncle Lindsay are pictured is very proper with a table strewn with silver tableware, a fireplace, and a large painting hanging on the wall. While Ellen's Uncle Lindsay seems eager to pull Ellen close to him to comfort her, Ellen, although leaning in, also appears to be resisting as she looks almost as though she could be pulling away from him. This ambiguity highlights the developing relationship between the two as Ellen loves her Uncle Lindsay but finds it difficult to conform to the demands he places on her.

This illustration, appearing on page 410a of the [1910] R. F. Fenno & Company reprint, depicts Ellen being approached by Mr. Saunders. A caption below the illustration quotes a sentence from page 411 and reads, "But, as she drew near, Mr. Saunders rose up, came to the middle of the road." In the illustration, Ellen sits on the Brownie and looks anxiously at Mr. Saunders, who stands on the side of the road, his back to the viewer, with his hand extending out toward Ellen. Mr. Saunders is surrounded by foliage and several trees stand in the background behind Ellen.
