Day 4850
Day 4850 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. [CONTROL] Rex Callahan has been flagged. She has started to find it difficult, and she is close enough to Truman Beaumont for that to matter. Wilf Tanner and Dell Tanner no longer need a reason to call round. Silas Tidewater was born to Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
