Day 5660
Day 5660 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Nell Tidewater has come down with a bout of something going round the orchard and is being kept in for observation. Dot Ferris is in Seahaven General after they was outmanoeuvred by a wet floor at the bakery. Nell Tidewater is being kept in overnight with a bout of something going round the orchard. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Surprise for Fern Gorse reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
