Day 2252
Day 2252 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Bev Tanner has come down with a spectacular head cold and is being kept in for observation. Edie Gorse is not brilliant at keeping a notebook about the pond, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. Bev Tanner is being kept in overnight with a spectacular head cold. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
