Day 1907
Day 1907 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fern Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Wilf Tanner is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Milo Ferris is not currently speaking to Lark Ferris. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Bench at The Square takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
