Day 3831
Day 3831 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. A quantity of paperwork has appeared on Truman Beaumont's desk. Bev has been briefed to keep him at it. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Ned Ferris has sworn undying friendship to somebody met twenty minutes ago. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Crab Roll Question runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
