Day 4823
Day 4823 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Somebody has repainted their front door overnight. Opinions are being gathered. Hattie Whitlow has sworn undying friendship to somebody met twenty minutes ago. Silas Tidewater was born to Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Clock Is Two Minutes Fast runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
