"SEA CHILDREN"
"I live near the sea, but it's not like the Wellington bays at all % No rocks for the mermaidens to sit orf and comb their long hair—surely Neptune would never like them to "bob" their locks I—no wee pools in which to find baby whales and prickly, naughty sea urchins; no dainty, coloured baths for the mer-babies like the pawa shells we used tofind out Eona Bay. But such a safe beach for human mer-babies, such gentle little waves tnat; sparkle and dance in the sunlight, and whisper and croon on the grey days."
"OLD WITCH."
