The Mermaid: A Love Tale
Authorship not stated
You are Caius Simpson, eighteen and dutiful, until a public path past Farmer Day's holding puts you in the middle of a marriage gone violent. That night you follow Mrs. Day and her three children onto a moonless cliff path, sensing something wrong before you can name it, and arrive only in time to see her throw the youngest into the tide. Fisherman Jim Hogan pulls you from the current after you dive in after the child, but dawn finds every searcher along the bay without a body.
