It appears that Beerbohm has touched up the cover photo with pencil to give a somewhat disreputable air to both men. His note chides Barrymore as being an "ill-hosier'd wrong-un, " while Churchill "surely hasn't become a butler and been discharged for drunkenness and theft, so that he is more a penitent in mufti, vainly seeking, without a 'character, ' a situation in some decent household?"
