Day 5398
Day 5398 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Dot Ferris has an answer, of a sort, and has decided it will do. Cole Whitlow is not brilliant at keeping a notebook about the pond, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. Fern Gorse has stopped wondering about it, which is not quite the same as knowing. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
