From the last page of a cheap novel by “The Duchess” I scanned a day or so ago, now being proof­read and repub­lished at Dis­trib­uted Proof­read­ers.

(A higher-​​resolution grayscale ver­sion may be obtained by request, though it’s a crap engrav­ing, in a crap­pily printed book, with all the smudges and obscur­ing vis­i­ble here made worse by lack of con­trast on the pulpy paper back­ground. But you can have it.)

Two days when you’ll likely hear naught form me.

Resum­ing, Mon­day, like as not.
