Day 4696
Day 4696 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Flo Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Iris Brody and Marla Finch have got into the habit of each other. Linus Tidewater has finally had everyone round. Nobody left early. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Something in the Pond runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
