Excerpt from Merry-Garden and Other Stories
I quote the local historian in flowers like a bride and both parishes learned their prosperity from merry-garden the now deserted. In mazzard time mazzards are sweet black cherries) the sound of young laughter floats across Merry Garden; but the girls and boys who make the laughter seldom wander that way. No longer to its quay come boats with holiday-parties from the Fleet and the Garrison at Plymouth, as they came by scores a hundred years ago.
