 * 2011, Tony Bianchi, Daniel's Beetles,
 * [page 12:] Tea in the garden. A birthday tea. Daniel is kneeling on the paved path which stretches from the back of the house to the high hedge separating the Robsons’ garden from its neighbour. Behind him is the lawn with its table and chairs. In front, running the length of the path, is a narrow border filled with clusters of fuchsia, geranium and phlox. Near the hedge there is also a small bed of jibbons which Daniel’s mother grows to put in salads and sandwiches.
 * [page 212:] ‘Ah! The jibbons! Yes, of course. Mam, the patch of jibbons, over in the far corner. Ha! You’ve got a good memory. Mam, I’d never have remembered that, no, never, not the jibbons.’ Having retrieved, between us, this little scrap of memory (if such it was, for I had no way of telling) I proceeded to embroider onto it incidental details of how I would play there, by the jibbons, how I would hunt for insects amongst the flowers, under the stones, how I would talk to Robert next door through the hedge.
