AND THE MAGICAL CAMBER WELL
Coming soon there is here, and only here, to be seen what you can see nowhere else, the lately rediscovered and highly-accomplished young mermaid of the Camber Well.
She combs her hair in the manner practised in China, and admires herself in a glass in the manner practised—everywhere. She has had the best instructors in every peculiarity of education, and can argue on any given subject, from the most popular way of preserving plums, down to the necessity of a change of Ministers.
She plays the harp in the new effect-ual fairystyle prescribed by Miss Elizabeth Jane Baldry, playing for you fairy music never before performed in modern times, having lain forgotten in the vast archives of the British Library. Its composers, once famous touring virtuosi, are now long dead and forgotten
Join us this mid-summers day, June 20th, and see the very spot where this attraction lies. Cast your coin down into the water and listen carefully. Make your wish for the future and hear a song from the past.
The spirals converging under the surface, they’ll take you where you want to go.1
