Day 3144
Day 3144 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Truman Beaumont and Elaine Whitlow discover they are both entering the chess contest. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Great Chess Rivalry takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
