- The Cover — Let’s presume that Mary Slowpoke is doing those motorists a great favor. Let’s imagine them exclaiming, in effect, “Look at the glory of those trees! If we hadn’t got stuck here, we never would have had this enthralling experience, never been able to sit here drinking in this ineffable beauty. Bless that little lazybones on the hill!” If you think they are saying something else, better keep what you think to yourself. John Falter’s cover is located in four places: he saw the blazing trees in Illinois; the gentle background hills are in Kansas; Mary’s house is in the state of Missouri; and Mary herself came from Imagination, a state of mind. When Falter was asked what will happen if Mary goes back to the house for something she has forgotten, his imagination didn’t work at all.
