Near the tombstone inscribed "Our Mammy," Christa Barker kneels to examine the seashells heaped as decoration above one or two graves. Martha Hale jumps up and down, shouting "Isn't he darling?"-summoning everybody to the sculptured dog that stands on guard at the front and center of a family plot.
