Otis, overlooking the danger of his position, had placed his O in the center of
the bottom row. For the sake of any of my readers who can’t visualize the
appearance of the board in this pivotal game, I have drawn them out for you to
see, and placed them above these texts; please have a careful look at them.

Before I go on, I would like to point out that I have been narrating this long
series of stories, a series that now amounts to 4206 paragraphs, and never in
all this time have I ever placed an image above a text that had an obvious
relationship to the text.

This is the first time, and this should indicate the importance I place on the
reader having a complete understanding of the import of what I am about to say
about this tic-tac-toe game, and the birds, (important, at least to me.)

It is true that sometimes the illustrations I use seem to have a vague
relationship to the text, but I assure you, it is only a coincidence. I strive,
as much as possible to have the illustrations I use be as irrelevant as
possible, and consider them to be simply a form of meaningless decoration.
