If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Saturday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Saturday's quote:
Ep #733 (1897) - Minerva - 'The innocent MUST suffer. Providence sometimes tests them. Sometimes by putting them in jail, or even putting them on a gallows.'
From "Robservations 11/19/02 - #732-733 - Ang & Barn's Bargain; Three For Worthington Hall"
And yet again Robservations doesn't feature the exact quote - but it is close...
Minerva is one twisted character - passive/aggressive doesn't even begin to describe her behavior in this scene! She and her husband are a perfect pair!

Drawing room - Minerva tells Rachel the day she and Tim left was the most tragic day of Rev. Trask's life. Why did you call me a murderess? demands Rachel. Minerva prefers to let her stew. It's not easy to tell of it, says Minerva, but the Reverend, that poor, fine man, has never been the same. Rachel insists. Minerva says Trask will take you to court for stealing if you don't return to the school and fulfill your contract. Rachel asks again about the murderess accusation --why? My brother died that night, says Minerva--Simon, the best man the world has known--he was killed by thieves. I never even saw the man, insists Rachel. This causes Minerva to cry "thief, murderer and liar" at her. Rachel denies all. Minerva insists, you surprised Simon in the kitchen and hit him with a fireplace poker and left him for dead. I didn't go there, cries Rachel, Tim went there for food, but...uh oh!--Tim didn't say anything about that, that anything happened in the kitchen--and he wouldn't do such a thing. Well, Minerva informs her, Tim already confessed to doing it. Rachel is horrified. Tim returned to Worthington Hall, where he belongs--where Rachel belongs, says Minerva. Poor Tim, laments Rachel. If you miss him, you can see him soon, says Minerva, let me guide you as I have before--come back with me--don't be foolish--aren't a few years with people who love you better than many years with strangers in prison? They wouldn't send me to prison, says Rachel--I'm not a murderess. Minerva tells her that the innocent must suffer, Providence sometimes tests them by putting them in jail--or the gallows-- much as the Reverend would regret it, he'd have to tell the authorities about the thieving and murdering that took place that night--it would break his heart, just as it would break Rachel's neck, but he'd have to![/spoiler]
