The mounded earth was planted by Sarah with three different varieties of ivy, one for each grave in the hope that in time the plants would meet and mingle, uniting in death a brother and a sister, an uncle and a nephew, a mother and her son. The plants it seemed were eager to please her because they had managed in a very short space of time to do precisely what she wished them to do. The shimmering, multi-coloured and multi-patterned leaves were far more beautiful than the zellij tilework which Jack had seen in various mausoleums and cemeteries throughout Morocco.
