A Twist in the Mausoleum Story

The Gruel mausoleum I was rhapsodizing about was indeed described as having six cribs. So it may have been there all the time, right under my nose. (I can't say for sure, because goodness only knows what happened in later years.) The Mundell mausoleum is every bit as impressive as the Gruel mausoleum's description.
