Day 4588
Day 4588 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Linus Tidewater fumbled Truman Beaumont's name and recovered it smoothly. Nobody breathed. Hal Brody has got good enough at keeping a notebook about the pond to be quietly smug about it. It is Wednesday lunch in Founders Park. Benches are being claimed diplomatically. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
