Day 1914
Day 1914 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris have got into the habit of each other. Linus Tidewater has got good enough at learning the orchard properly to be quietly smug about it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
