Day 5496
Day 5496 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Milo Ferris is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill. Whatever Jonah Ferris and Ned Ferris were circling, they have landed on it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Buttermilk Question takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
