Current Talk '24 I / Re: Everyone In Collinsport's Favorite Word Slideshow
« on: April 15, 2024, 03:14:02 PM »
If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding today's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #1204 (1841PT[-1967: Ep #198]) - Melanie - 'But after the funeral, you MUST set her free.'
From "#1203/1204: Robservations 12/11/03: Naive Fiancee"
The Robservations references the quote perfectly...
A correction, though, this scene does not take place in the upstairs parlor - it takes place in Melanie's bedroom. One might think the bed in the room may have been a huge clue, but, well...
And of course, we've seen notations like "(1841PT[-1967])" before and know it means that an 1841PT quote has been substituted for what should have been a 1967 quote. But this time around "(1841PT[-1967: Ep #198])" means all that plus that the quote should have come from 1967's Ep #198 but that ep doesn't have any "must" lines to quote from. So, with that in mind, it means that Ep #198 now joins Eps #1, #124 and #659 as ones without any "must" lines - and another will show up before too long.

Parlor - Flora explains to Melanie--we didn't want to lock the girl up, but if we hadn't come in at just the right minute, Justin would have killer her--he wasn't being himself--we had to lock her up, or she'd have gone to the police--don't you understand?--they would have taken Justin from us--we didn't tell you about it because we knew how much you loved Justin. You shouldn't have locked Stella up! cries Melanie. What were we to do? asks Flora--we were so frightened--try to understand. I do, says Melanie--but it's wrong. We know that, Julia assures her.But you just put the gag back in her mouth, locked her in there again! protests Melanie. Do you want the police to be here tomorrow, the day of her father's burial? asks Julia. They can do nothing to Papa now! says Melanie. They can to Flora, and to me, Julia reminds her (busy ladies--burying the dead Trask, kidnapping Stella). Yes, says Flora, we're guilty of holding her captive. Her brother will never accept our actions, says Julia. They shouldn't, says Flora, we both know that--and she begins to cry, upsetting Melanie, who puts an arm around her, assuring her, I do understand, except you knew you couldn't go on keeping Stella in the tower room. We've tried to think of what to do, says Julia. You must do something now, says Melanie--her brother was here yesterday, and I promised I would help--please do something now--let her go, ask her not to tell. We will do something, vows Flora, after the funeral. You will let her go? queries Julia. Somehow, some way, says Flora--I don't know how, but we will--all I can think of now is poor Justin--she wipes her nose with a handkerchief. I know, Mother, says Melanie, but after the funeral, you must set her free! Flora looks at Julia, who regards her solemnly.
