MR. SPARROWGRASS DESCENDS TO THE INFERNAL REGIONS ON A DUMB WAITER.
“He came to the rescue with a bull-terrier, a Newfoundland pup, a lantern, and a
revolver. The moment he saw me at the window he shot at me, but fortunately just
missed me. I threw myself under the table, and ventured to expostulate.”—Page 72. [figure description] Illustration page, which depicts Mr. Sparrowgrass on his back under a table, as he tries to escape the shooting attempts of his neighbor. The neighbor is reaching in through the barred windows of the kitchen with a pistol in hand.[end figure description]

The Sparrowgrass Papers
“I managed to get the ring-leader of the swinish multitude into my parlor. He was a
large, powerful-looking fellow with a great deal of comb, long legs, mottled complexion,
and ears pretty well dogged. He stood for a moment at bay against the sofa, and then
charged upon the dogs.”—Page 90. [figure description] Title-Page, which depicts Captain Bacon and Mr. and Mrs. Sparrowgrass fighting to get a wild group of pigs out of their living room.[end figure description]
