Merman

Mary has a written a new play called "The Little Merman" and hopes that Tom will star in it.

The palace of the Merman King lies in the very deepest part; its walls are of coral and the long pointed windows of the clearest amber, but the roof is made of mussel shells which open and shut with the lapping of the water.

The Merman King had been for many years a widower.

Thus buoyed up, he floated on the waves like a merman, or like an angler's dobber, until he landed safely on a rock, where he was found the next morning busily drying his many breeches in the sunshine.

The meer man hath no feet but fins And this hath legs you see and shins.
