Day 960
Day 960 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Word has gone round the kitchens: Truman Beaumont is to be given his favourite, and no bill. Flo Tidewater fumbled Truman Beaumont's name and recovered it smoothly. Nobody breathed. Flo Tidewater answered a question Truman Beaumont had not asked out loud. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Key, and No Lock takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
