Day 4775
Day 4775 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Dell Tanner has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Edie Gorse and Ewan Callahan have got into the habit of each other. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
