Today I checked the microfiche of this title at the University of Victoria Library. It was made from a 1905 printing by McLeod & Allen, Toronto, and also mentiones The Bobbs-Merrill Company on the TP verso. The last numbered page is 186, but there is one more page, [187], which has the final text of the novel. This last page begins with the paragraph: "Hang it; I _do_ love you!" and ends with: But she didn't. This text does indeed have ten full-page illustrations. They seem to match the story on the surrounding pages. Descriptions as follows [page numbers indicate facing page.]: Frontispiece p.8 -- 3 people sitting at a table and 1 standing. p.32 -- exchange with pawn broker. p.38 -- man in robe. p.56 -- man in monk costume talking with woman in columbine costume. p.82 -- "Monk" and "Blue Domino" seated, talking. p.100 -- same two characters, candle and apples in foreground. p.154 -- Man and woman in formal evening wear. p.170 -- woman bandaging wounded arm as others look on. (seems to match events on p.179) p.182 -- Woman in cloak and man in evening wear, standing. Hope this helps, Andrew On Wed, 14 Dec 2005, Al Haines (shaw) wrote:
I'd like to check these two items:
1. The book ends at page 314. There's no "The End" or "Finis" or any definitive end-of-book indicator. Are there any pages after 314?
2. The book has ten illustrations: the Frontispiece, and nine others facing these pages: 10, 22, 38, 58, 70, 98, 110, 124, and 250. Some of the existing illustrations are loose, so I don't know if they're where they should be or not. Are the existing ones in the correct locations? Are there any others that are missing?
