“The tight dress she'd put on was white with a pattern of green vines. Seeing Mavis in it reminded Wilf of a statue he'd once found behind a garden hedge. That pale, marble woman, stuck outside, all by herself, had been covered with ivy. He'd felt so sorry for her. It must have taken a long time for all of those green, leafy ropes to wrap themselves around her. He still wondered, didn't anybody look out for her? Take care of her? Didn't she matter to anyone?” — Ruth Campbell
