Other merfolken began arriving. Some only passed through setting out food on the
large flat boulders that were used for tables. They had nice crystaled rock platers and
the cups were Nautilus Shell Chalice’s of the finest. They even had seashell silverware
of all different kinds. It was such a tea party in the making for back home if the girls
could. Their eyes lit up every time something was brought out and melted when they
