Label TextThe inscription below the pencil drawing indicates that it was made for a story by Émile Gaboriau. Sloan illustrated multiple novels by Gaboriau in 1913. The composition of this drawing aligns with a bedroom scene in The Clique of Gold. The ink drawing may date from around the same time or, like the image on the reverse, it may be later in date.

The Masses; His Reverence: "Thus, friends, we see the masses filled with a vague, unchristian spirit of discontent. They cry out upon work, bewailing their divinely appointed lot, forgetful, my brethren, of the heavenly law which ordains that only through toil and tribulation, by the narrow path of self-denial, may we enter into the higher values of spiritual blessedness...let us pray!"

She: Your face is awfully tanned, and as you close your eyes in drinking, your eyelids make little white spots that are dreadfully funny. Next time you see a mirror just close your eyes and notice how odd you look.
