Day 2153
Day 2153 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Marla Finch has come down with a bout of something going round the orchard and is being kept in for observation. Toby Tanner is not brilliant at keeping a notebook about the pond, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. Marla Finch is being kept in overnight with a bout of something going round the orchard. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Whose Ladder Is This takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
