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 #716 (1897) - Judith - 'Nora, you and Jamison MUST forget your mother. You MUST.'
From "Robservations - #716/717 -11/6/02 - Jenny and Her Babies"
The Robservations references the quote quite well...
[spoiler]Wednesday's quote:
Ep #716 (1897) - Judith - 'Nora, you and Jamison MUST forget your mother. You MUST.'
From "Robservations - #716/717 -11/6/02 - Jenny and Her Babies"
Kicking and screaming in Dirk's grasp, Nora insists she wants to see "her" when she gets back. No one is coming to the house tonight, insists Judith--behave or I will lock you in your room--go, Dirk--I'll take care of this. Nora doesn't want to tell her aunt who is coming back--because I don't want her to come back! Who? asks Judith. My mother, says Nora--"I had a dream, last night and the night before--she came, she did, and she looked just as pretty as she did before, and she woke me with hugs and kisses. . ." "Now Nora," cautions Judith. "Don't tell me dreams don't come true," commands Nora, "because they do--Jamison dreamed about her, too." Judith tells her that her mother is away for treatment. People get better, insists Nora. She hasn't, says Judith. "Did you get a letter from her?" asks Nora eagerly--if that's true, why didn't she write her and Jamison? She didn't write, says Judith, the doctor did. Nora wants to go see her.You can't, says Judith--she isn't strong enough. Edward and I listened to what the doctor said, explains Judith. Daddy didn't hear from the doctor, says Nora. (oops, caught, Judy!) Gently, Judith tells her, you and Jamison must try to forget your mother. We both tried writing our mother, says Nora, but we know the letters never mailed, because we found them in Daddy's desk--you won't let us write to her, or answer any of our questions, wails Nora. When you're older, says Judith, you'll realize there are questions for which there is no answer--now go upstairs to bed; you get cranky when you don't get enough sleep. Reluctantly, Nora goes upstairs, Judith right behind her.[/spoiler]
