Day 113
Day 113 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The tide is out further than usual. Gus Tidewater has gone to look at what it left behind. 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 reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
