If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Wednesday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Wednesday's quote:
Ep #730 (1897) - Laura - 'Because there is something I MUST do before I can return to Collinwood.'
From "Robservations 11/18/02 - #730/731 - Quentin and His "Dead" Mistress"
Robservations may rephrase this quote, but at least it is there...

"Of course you don't want to go!" cries Laura, kneeling to clasp her daughter's arms--"You'd much rather stay with me, wouldn't you?" Yes, says Nora. Laura asks her to get Jamison and bring him here--I don't think Edward will allow me into the house. When he sees you? asks Nora. No, says Laura, I have a better idea, a way you won't have to go to that school--bring Jamison here and the three of us will go away--and we'll be together always. Nora doesn't want it to be that way, nor does Jamison--we want you with us, as it should be--why can't it be that way, why? demands Nora. Laura doesn't know--perhaps it can. She agrees to go to Collinwood, but not right now--soon, very soon, promises Laura, and tells her daughter to go home. Nora fears if she goes back to Collinwood, her mother will disappear again! Laura assures her that won't happen--I want to be with my children--I can't come now because there's something I must do before I come back to Collinwood. You aren't just saying that, are you? asks Nora. No, Laura assures her, and gives her something to prove it--a scarab she removes from her dress--a "special good luck charm" found in a faraway place--I was told never to be without it, but I want you to keep it, as a reminder that I will keep my word. Nora examines the scarab and says, I see the same kind of symbols I made in my drawing. Father was very angry at me--he thought Quentin had taught me.This disturbs Laura--is Quentin back at Collinwood? Yes, says Nora, he came back just before Edith died. "I see," says Laura--go back to the house. Nora wants to talk to her a little longer, but Laura says, keep our meeting secret--you can only tell Jamison, no one else--I want my return to Collinwood to come as a surprise--to everyone, she adds, grinning.[/spoiler]
