Day 5096
Day 5096 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Silas Tidewater is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. Nell Tidewater was born to Mabel Tidewater and Dell Tanner. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Harbour Blue Question runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
