Day 1896
Day 1896 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Four feet and counting: Nurse Ferris turns detective over the Square's wandering bench. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Square runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
