Day 5791
Day 5791 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Somebody has been asked to need Truman Beaumont's help with something small and absorbing. Ned Ferris fumbled Truman Beaumont's name and recovered it smoothly. Nobody breathed. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
