Day 4614
Day 4614 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Dot Ferris has decided to let bygones be bygones. Iris Brody has decided to let bygones be bygones. Dot Ferris has got to the bottom of it. The bottom was not far down. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Harbour Blue Question reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
