[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #742 (1897) - Beth - 'We haven't settled it yet--sooner or later, we MUST.'
From "Robservations 12/17/02 - #742-743 - Laura Sends Jenny After Q"
Quentin and Beth kiss with great passion. They're in his room, where she tells him she must leave--I've been too long already and I'm afraid Judith will start asking questions. (It's a safe guess they just finished making love, her payment to him for keeping Jenny safe.) What would you do if that happened? He asks. Beth fixes her hair in the mirror and says, I don't know. Tell her we're in love with each other, he suggests. "Could I?" she asks (such hope in her eyes!)--"It's a very casual kind of love, isn't it?" she says. He tucks his hands in his pockets and says, I could tell something was wrong with you this evening. Not something, everything, she says--I feel a sense of hopelessness--I want to think we have a future together, but we can't as long as you're married to Jenny. We've been over this before, he says impatiently. Yes, but we haven't settled it yet, she says--sooner or later, we must. Jenny is stark raving mad, he reminds her. Yes, but still your wife, says Beth. When the time comes, he says, when I can approach Judith with the subject, I'll have Jenny committed and the marriage annulled. Are you sure it can be? Asks Beth. With the Collins money and power behind me, anything is possible exults Quentin--we must approach Judith at the right time--be patient, I promise you won't regret it--"I love you very much," he says, kissing her.
