[spoiler]Monday's quote:
Ep #1172 (1840) - Judard - 'Julia, I know how upset you are, but you MUSTN'T make accusations like that against me. Now, I don't know where Barnabas is. I've told you that. You MUST believe me.'
From "#1171/1172: Robservations 11/18/03: Another Brick in the Wall"
"What have you done with my brother?" demands Julia. What an odd question, says Gerard, I told you this morning... I know what you told me this morning, she says, but I know Barnabas too well to believe he could disappear this way--he had to be trapped into it--and you two both had reason to stop him from testifying for Quentin. If you are going to make these formal charges, says Gerard, I do hope you've prepared proof! I know I can't prove anything, she says, but we are in this together, and I don't know why you won't admit you're working hand in hand with Trask, Mr. Stiles. On the contrary, says Trask, I still have not convinced Mr. Stiles that Quentin is the heretic I know him to be--his stubborn loyalty to Quentin continues to mystify me--and as far as your brother is concerned, I suspect that the prospect of severe questioning by Charles Dawson was simply too much for him and he ran away...good night. Julia, arms crossed, gives the departing Trask a glance of hatred. I know how upset you are, he says gently, but you mustn't make accusations like that against me--I don't know where Barnabas is, I told you that--you must believe me--why don't you come in and have a drink with me? He tries to take her arm, but she shrugs him off and leaves.

The Robservations' version of the quote is nearly perfect...
And I've always found picturing Barnabas running away in the middle of the night because he's too afraid of "severe questioning" to be hysterically funny. It's a really great insult (even if it couldn't be further from the type of person Barnabas is - I mean look at all the worse things he'd faced and stood his ground for)...
