Day 403
Day 403 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Dr. Cornelius Pratt. Gus Tidewater is stepping out with Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Dog Nobody Owns reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
