"farmer's daughter must have been only nine or ten years old, and a mere 30 feet tall".

Mere means only or just, but it's usage is a bit different in a sentence. For example if we wanted to replace " mere" in the sentence above with only/just we would say: she was only/just 30 feet tall. Or, we could use the adverb form "merely", which is directly replaceable with only/just (She was merely 30 feet tall).
Hope this makes sense!
