when you do leave, you will find yourself more successful than you've ever been. I don't want that again, insists Paul. You have no choice, says Barnabas. "I will not have it!" shouts Paul. You will do whether you want to or not, says Barnabas--you see, we do keep our bargains, that is why we expect you to keep your. I want my daughter back, free, says Paul. Not possible, says Barnabas. "I will make it possible!" screams Paul. There is no way to erase that night, says Barnabas. Paul reaches into a drawer and pulls out a gun. "But I can kill you, Mr. Collins," he says, pointing the gun at Barnabas. If I die, someone else will replace me, says Barnabas. They will get this, too! shouts Paul, who fires--but nothing happens.Put the gun down, advises Barnabas, laughing. It was loaded, cries Paul--you got to it somehow! Of course it was, says Barnabas, we think of everything, we must--we knew about the gun, as we know about your efforts to get Carolyn to leave here, another thing you will not do--we know everything you intend to do before you do it.

We like Collinwood, and Rachel, she's so nice, protests Nora. I like Rachel, too, says Edward, try to understand my reasons. She begins to cry, saying, if we are sent away, I'll just DIE! Edward, upset, assures her that after dinner, the three of us will sit down and I'll tell you about the school. No good, she says, because Jamison isn't here anymore, he ran away last night, saying Trask was cruel and mean to him and would rather die than go to the school. Edward is horrified--I thought you'd like the idea of the school! Nora clings to him and begs him to let them stay at Collinwood, please! I need to think and find Jamison, he tells her, run along and play.[/spoiler]
