If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Tuesday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Tuesday's quote:
Ep #743 (1897) - Jenny - 'You MUST be very solemn and respectful of the dead.'
From "Robservations 12/17/02 - #742-743 - Laura Sends Jenny After Q"
This Robservations references the quote quite well. Maybe we're back on track...
While watching this I was really struck by just how sad a character Jenny is. She's gone mad because of Quentin's betrayal and she doesn't even realize the difference between her actual children and her dolls. If things hadn't ultimately worked out the way they did for her, no matter how old she may have become, would she have still been stuck in a never changing world in which her "babies" never grew up and she continually cared for them? If so, that would have been beyond sad...

Jenny hums the pretty little horses songs to her twin dolls, shushing them, patting them. She cuddles them and tells them not to cry, to be brave. It's not allowed at funerals, she says, you must be very solemn and respectful of the dead. Dirk enters her cell. She tells him they're burying Quentin today and she's getting the babies ready for the funeral. Dirk closes the door and leans back against it.[/spoiler]
