"There was once a law concerning mermaids. My friend thinks it a wondrous
thing—that the British Empire was so thorough it had invented a law for
everything. And in this law it was decreed: were any to be found in their
usual spots, showing off like dolphins, sunbathing on rocks—they would no
longer belong to themselves."
