Day 224
Day 224 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Gus Tidewater is stepping out with Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Wager on the Weather takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

00:00Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill.
07:00The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain.
08:00The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue.
09:00Norma Quist has arrived at the store without the list. This has happened before.
11:00A hedge has been trimmed one inch past a boundary. Diplomacy is under way.
12:00A seagull has stolen Marla Finch's sandwich near the dock. Again.
13:04The forecast is studied. Elbows are leaned on windowsills all over town.
14:00A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant.
16:00Clouds drift in over the bay. Gus pretends not to enjoy it.
17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.
20:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
21:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
