Day 4171
Day 4171 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Fern Gorse and Opal Ferris have stopped leaving their friendship to chance. Linus Tidewater has got to the bottom of it. The bottom was not far down. The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
