If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Wednesday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Wednesday's quote:
Ep #707 (1897) - Edward - 'You're so easily amused, Carl, you MUST be a frightfully happy person.'
From "Robservations 10/28/02 - #706/707 - A Helluva Dysfunctional Family"
The Robservations references this quote (almost) perfectly...
And I just love how Edward can take a seemingly innocent comment and turn it into a threat! But then the writing during 1897 is so spectacular - all the writers were so inspired...

Edward, wearing a black mourning armband, comes downstairs at Collinwood and checks his mustache in the mirror. He glances at the newspaper and puts it down, then goes to the desk, take a pipe, and sticks it in his mouth. He opens his can of tobacco only to have fake snakes fly out. Carl comes bouncing out from behind the drapes, laughing wildly. Coldly, Edward asks that he be warned about other booby traps he may have hidden in the room. Carl says that would take all the fun out of it. For you, yes, says Edward--you're so easily amused, you must be a very happy person. Carl gathers up his fake snakes and says, I am, most of the time. Edward suggest he can be happy ALL the time, in a sanitarium, where he can show his fellow inmates one prank after another. This turns Carl serious. Edward rants about him playing the buffoon--and only the day after a family member has died.[/spoiler]
