Day 1890
Day 1890 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Rex Callahan has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Edie Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town. 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.

08:00The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town.
08:22Elaine Whitlow and Marla Finch have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things.
08:22Marla Finch has kept at keeping a notebook about the pond long enough that the town expects it now.
10:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
11:00Every car, gull and passer-by around Truman Beaumont paused at once, as though waiting for a cue.
12:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
12:30Postcards vs. petunias: Founders Park hosts a very civil border dispute.
14:00A kite is stuck in the big park tree. A committee is forming.
15:24Bakery counsel session runs long; flour everywhere, answers few.
15:51Lark Ferris and Linus Tidewater have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.

17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.
17:00A seagull has stolen Elaine Whitlow's sandwich near the dock. Again.
18:00The tide is out further than usual. Iris Brody has gone to look at what it left behind.
19:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
19:33Pond notebook, page whatever: the heron is unmoved, the gardener is smitten.
22:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Everybody denies everything.
