Day 5288
Day 5288 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Dot Ferris has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. There were not enough plates at Lark Ferris's, and nobody minded. Dell Tanner has come down with a cough with genuine ambition and is being kept in for observation. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Anonymous Good Deed takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
