Day 1741
Day 1741 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle no longer need a reason to call round. Lark Ferris is not currently speaking to Cole Whitlow. 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.
