Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Sea Lady" by H. G. Wells is a fantasy novel serialized in 1901 and published as a volume by Methuen. A mermaid arrives on England's southern coast in 1899, disguising herself as "Miss Doris Thalassia Waters" to infiltrate genteel society. Her true purpose: to seduce Harry Chatteris, a man she once glimpsed in the South Seas who now haunts her desires. Though he's engaged and pursuing a political career, she tempts him with whispers of "better dreams," challenging Victorian propriety and restraint in this blend of fantasy, romance, and social satire.
