Day 5339
Day 5339 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Silas Tidewater has come down with a bout of something going round the orchard and is being kept in for observation. Kip Doyle and Dot Ferris no longer need a reason to call round. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Talent Night at The Anchor runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
