If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Friday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Friday's quote:
Ep #720 (1897) - Dirk - 'Really, Beth, you MUST. After all, you were her, uh, personal maid, weren't you?'
From "Robservations 11/8/02 - #720-721 - A Pissed-Off Wife Takes Revenge"
Dirk tells Beth he's feeling better. I'm sorry this happened to you, she says, Judith should never have involved you, but waited for me to return from the village. Dirk curtly tells her he knows her big, dark secret and will keep it because he's being paid to.He asks her how long she's known about Jenny. From the beginning, reveals Beth, when she had her breakdown and Edward sent her to the tower room. Removing the compress, he stands and wants to know what caused Jenny's breakdown. Beth says she doesn't know. Dirk he is sure she does, being Jenny's personal maid. She repeats, I didn't know.

The Robservations references the quote well, though not directly once again...
And who knows why RD reaches out to Terry Crawford when he delivers the quote?
But then, RD can rarely keep from touching his contemporary female costars, now can he?!
They and his hair are the biggest things that are impossible for him not to touch!!
And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Jenny - 'You MUSTN'T be frightened of me') was back on August 11th of 2020.
