Day 111
Day 111 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fern Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Gus Tidewater is stepping out with Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
