Day 1846
Day 1846 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris no longer need a reason to call round. The tide is out further than usual. Hal Brody has gone to look at what it left behind. Toby Tanner nearly answered Truman Beaumont early, and turned it into a cough. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
