Day 4136
Day 4136 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Dot Ferris is not brilliant at learning the orchard properly, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Cole Whitlow and Mabel Tidewater have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
