Day 1718
Day 1718 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Elaine Whitlow and Marla Finch have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Hal Brody has closed the notebook on one small Seahaven mystery, satisfied for now. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
