Day 309
Day 309 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Hal Brody has become extremely confident about lighthouse engineering. 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. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
