[spoiler]Monday's quote:
Ep #52 (1966) - Vicki - 'Well, it MUST have fallen off the table.'
From "#0051/0052: Robservations 06/22/01: Dead Man Body Surfing"
Who's in here? asks Vicki, then strides over to the open window and closes it. Must have been the wind, she says with a nervous chuckle. Carolyn spots something on the floor--a book. She picks it up and drops it, and they both hear the odd sound they'd heard upstairs. That's it, says Vicki. Yes, it is, agrees Carolyn--but who did it? It must have fallen off the table, says Vicki--she observes the distance from the table to where it was located on the floor and remarks that she guesses it couldn't have gotten all the way over here, though. Not by itself, says Carolyn--now do you believe what I was saying? No, says Vicki, placing the book on the desk--there has to be a logical explanation! Yes, agrees Carolyn. Maybe a cat got in the window and knocked it off, suggests Vicki. In all my life in this house, I have never seen a cat in here, says Carolyn--anyway, a cat couldn't get that book from that table to here--it's very heavy. You're right, says Vicki. So if there isn't a logical explanation, says Carolyn, there's only one other possible explanation, and I don't even like to think about that one--please, let's go back upstairs--I feel a lot safer there--at least we can lock the door. Vicki agrees. She turns off the lamp and they exit the drawing room. The book opens by itself to a page with a bookmark.The bookmark slides off to reveal a page. JOSETTE COLLINS, it says, Born 1810, died 1834.

The Robservations references the quote practically perfectly...
It's amazing how Joshua not only lied about Barnabas going to England, but apparently he somehow managed to have Josette's birth year listed as 15 years after she'd already died!
Though of course, when it comes to the explanation that Joshua was behind all the discrepancies between what takes place in the 1795/96 storyline and what we were led to believe before it, we're not supposed to think about the discrepancies where that excuse makes little sense. The simple fact is when it came time to do the flashback the show couldn't get costumes for the 1830s so they had to set it during a period they could get costumes for. What's really amazing is how a circumstance like that changed so much...
And this is the third quote from this ep. The first (Maggie - 'Oh Pop, this MUST be the purest atmosphere in the country. Why do you think all those summer people come up here every year?') was back on July 22nd of 2020, and the second (Vicki - 'It MUST have been one of the shutters. The wind's up') was back on January 13th.
