Day 1898
Day 1898 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory. Lark Ferris has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar. 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.
