(For various reasons, a handful of these illustrations needed to be redrawn. These are the new versions.)

As I was casting about for some appropriate found paper to use for this new illustration, I settled on an old religious book for young readers. When I opened it up, an old bookmark with an image of Jesus fell out. I am rather superstitious and always on the lookout for these kinds of instances, so it seemed perfect for the new illustration. I incorporated it in the painted cross, with Jesus decapitated. Somehow all that seemed a nice parallel with the line of text from the novel that this illustration represents.
