Day 4860
Day 4860 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Bea Callahan and Linus Tidewater have got into the habit of each other. Whatever Opal Ferris and Fern Gorse were circling, they have landed on it. Silas Tidewater was born to Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
