Day 1915
Day 1915 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Rue Callahan is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill. The tide is out further than usual. Hal Brody has gone to look at what it left behind. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
