Day 4674
Day 4674 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Whatever Jonah Ferris and Ned Ferris were circling, they have landed on it. Hattie Whitlow has got good enough at keeping a notebook about the pond to be quietly smug about it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Key, and No Lock runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
