Eppie in de toal-hole

Grayscale image of an old man greeting a toddler as she emerges dirty from a coal-hole next to a fireplace. A bellow hangs on the wall between them.

Silas Marner fails in disciplining Eppie by putting her in the coal-hole. She found it great fun and he gives up on disciplining her altogether.
