Day 4191
Day 4191 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Dell Tanner has come down with a cough with genuine ambition and is being kept in for observation. For four seconds Truman Beaumont's radio carried a voice describing exactly where Truman Beaumont was standing. Jonah Ferris is not currently speaking to Cass Tanner. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Greengage Harvest takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
