If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Friday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Friday's quote:
Ep #623 (1796) - Mr. Prescott - 'She asked the hangman to put a mask over her head. After the execution, they took the mask off and it wasn't her! It was some young lady that we'd never seen before. Nobody knows how or why it happened but it convinced us all that she MUST have been a witch.'
From "Robservations 8/27/02 - #622/623 - Back to the Past"
The Robservations paraphrases the quote but gets it quite well...
And I just love how Marie Wallace plays her line after Tom Gorman as Mr. Precott has mistakenly referred to Vicki as Gloria. You can see her mind racing as to whether or not she should also refer to her as Gloria - but of course she decides to correctly refer to her as Victoria.
Maybe Mr. Gorman should have stuck to playing his unspeaking Blue Whale Customer.

The jailer says it's a pity Bradford had to die, with his appeal for pretty women. He tells her that a few short weeks ago, it appeared he might marry another lady, found guilty of witchcraft, and hanged. This surprises Eve. Her name was Gloria Winters, he reveals (Victoria, we all know), but no one knew who she was or where she came from. Victoria Winters died here? asks Eve. They explain how, when she was hanged, she had a mask over her head. When it was removed after the execution, it wasn't her, and no one knows how or why it happened--it convinced them she must have been a witch. So, mutters Eve, she came back here and fell in love with him!
