Day 1471
Day 1471 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Iris Brody has turned keeping a notebook about the pond into a real part of life. The morning mail has arrived. Elaine Whitlow received a mysterious postcard. Three separate neighbours greeted Truman Beaumont with the identical sentence this morning. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Greengage Harvest runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
