Back in the very late '90's, I became frequent pen-pals with her (I guess you would call it "e-pen" pals).  I contacted her through her old AOL profile page, just wanting to let her know I was a fan and how I appreciated her work and she shouldn't waste her valuable time responding.  But she did.  So, for a couple years, we e-mailed back-and-forth about every little thing.  My life became hectic and we lost contact.  But I'll never forget how wonderful she was to me.  She was, indeed, a real friend.

If you're reading this, Denise, you had made my life special.

Jamison:  "No, really.  Look in the mirror.  The cut is just terrible.  Might I suggest..."

I forgot all about Quentin killing Jenny!  You're right.  If he hadn't done that, Magda wouldn't've cursed him.  Well, unless he was for spilling tea on Magda's dress.  You know how hard it was back then to dry-clean multi-colored clothing.

Quentin:  "Here's to a round of 7-14-21.  And don't ask Judith to join in.  I've seen her pound down a fifth of whiskey.  But you didn't hear that from me."

So much of this makes sense and is close to what I had envisioned in the unchanged (non-Barnabas) past.  I had some differences.  Rachel Drummond, of course, would not have died.  She would've remained on as the governess to Jamison and Nora.  I also believed that Quentin's siblings (meaning Judith and Edward - Carl was sent away by Judith) either killed him and blocked his body up, or, with (or maybe without) Quentin's cooperation, blocked him up and left him a gun with one silver bullet.  Beth committed suicide (like the governess and companion of Quint in The Turn of the Screw).  Of course, that leaves some unfinished business, such as Laura returning, Magda trying to find a cure when she found out she, well, shot herself in the foot regarding Crazy Jenny's children (and what about Crazy Jenny? - I figured she just expired sadly and in loneliness locked away) and would there ever had been a Petofi?  Regarding Laura, maybe Edward and Judith found a way to stop her (as she was stopped in modern time without the help of Barnabas).  As for Magda trying to repair things, maybe big bro and sis "took care of the problem" before she could do anything and she and Sandor moved on looking for another wealthy family to dupe.

Edward (thinking):  "Quentin and his get-rich-quick schemes.  Doesn't he know investing in horseless carriages is a waste?  It's just another fad."

Quentin:  "Look at all these forms to fill out to pay tariffs on our imports.  Well, at least we won't ever have to worry about paying income taxes."

Barnabas:  "Your attempt to intimidate Miss Drummond to go back to you school won't work, Trask.  She has a force more powerful than anything you can do:  the NEA!"
