Day 3601

Day 3601 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Bea Callahan has got to the bottom of it. The bottom was not far down. Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow no longer need a reason to call round. Alma Callahan has become extremely confident about lighthouse engineering. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Surprise for Truman Beaumont runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
