"Can't You See a Hint?" A drawing in black chalk and white body-color, touched with brush and black ink, on paper 25 cm. x 16 cm. There is on the back of this sheet what appears to be a black-chalk sketch of the same scene from a wider angle. Fildes's sons write that this drawing for The Mystery of Edwin Drood is "what probably would be a complete sketch for the thirteenth illustration, unentitled due to the death of Charles Dickens. It depicts apparently Rosa Bud holding the hand of a young man, perhaps Neville, but could be Tartar." Fildes did give the drawing a title, but there is a question whether or not the final word is "hint."
["In Rochester Cathedral"]. A drawing in black chalk, heightened with white on paper 18 cm. x 26 cm. This drawing, the final piece of Fildes's work on The The Mystery of Edwin Drood, is described by the artist's sons as "being the study of the illustration entitled 'In Rochester Cathedral.'"
["The Empty Chair. Gad's Hill-Ninth of June 1870"]. A drawing in black chalk and pencil, and brush and white body-color, on paper 33 cm. x 54 cm. This drawing is perhaps the first sketch that Fildes made of Dickens's study at Gad's Hill for what was to become a famous and widely published picture; see entry H1070.
"Scrooge's Third Visitor." A drawing in watercolor over pencil, on paper 15.5 cm. x 9.5 cm., mounted. The hand-colored etching of this scene was first published at page 78 of A Christmas Carol. Provenance: Stuart Samuel, William Randolph Hearst, Lewis A. Hird.
"Hollo, Jim, Where Are You Going with Yours?' 'Hesplandae!-Where Be You?' 'Prospect Place!'" A drawing in pen and brown ink and watercolor over pencil, on paper 16 cm. x 11 cm. This humorous drawing and the following five drawings were probably executed for Punch. None of them relates to Dickens.
"Hostess: 'Doctor, Won't You Dance the Lancers?' Doctor: 'No, Madam, Thank You, but I Don't Mind Lancing the Dancers.'" A drawing in pen and brown ink and watercolor over pencil, on paper 15 cm. x 11.5 cm.
