Day 5495
Day 5495 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Bea Callahan has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town. Ewan Callahan is not currently speaking to Bea Callahan. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Buttermilk Question runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.
18:00The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain.
19:00The tide is out further than usual. Lark Ferris has gone to look at what it left behind.
20:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Everybody denies everything.
20:00Every car, gull and passer-by around Truman Beaumont paused at once, as though waiting for a cue.
21:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
