If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Thursday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Thursday's quote:
Ep #734 (1897) - Gregory - 'One MUST NOT give in to these petty weaknesses.'
From "Robservations 11/20/02 - #734-735 - Jamison Escapes the Closet; Worthington Burns"
Trask observes, you weren't at dinner tonight--Charity was upset. I haven't been feeling well, says Tim, give her my apologies. One must not give in to these weaknesses, advises Trask--I trust you feel strong enough to go to Collinwood--Mrs. Trask has come back with unsettling news. Do they want to send the children back? asks Tim eagerly. No, says Trask, Rachel has decided not to return. Tim looks pleased.

The Robservations references the quote well...
One thing that's almost too unbelievable for words is the following exchange between Trask and Tim (Robin's comment is dead on):
Trask orders Jamison to go to his room and study. Left alone, Trask tells Tim, that boy needs discipline--he shall have it!--you aren't being lenient, are you? No, says Tim. Guard against that tendency, warns Trask--children are animals, they can be taught, but not by talking, but through fear. (Sweet guy--who's really an animal here?!)
I'd completely forgotten about that belief of Gregory's and was floored when I saw/heard it!! Gregory Trask and John Yaeger would have gotten along very well if in some warp of time they'd ever met up...
