Day 278
Day 278 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Norma Quist has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Dot Ferris has been quiet lately, and keeps starting sentences she does not finish. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Fish Pie Question runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
