If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Friday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Friday's quote:
Ep #1111 (1840) - Flora - 'But you MUST read it, though. It's by far my best work. Oh I do hope the critics notice.'
From "#1111/1112: Robservations 09/18/03: Julia in Jeopardy"
Flora herself, book in hand, red shawl on her arms, enters Collinwood with a cheery, "Hello?!" She runs into the drawing room, smiling, and finds Gabriel, who wishes her good morning. She's startled to see him and gasps, then says she doesn't know what to you--she supposes it's the excitement--a migraine, isn't it typical. He nods. And my horoscope promised me a triumphant day, she complains, sounding rather like a disappointed little girl--and then a migraine, just as I was stepping into my carriage--is he here? she asks, smiling girlishly. Is who here? asks Gabriel sourly. The healer, she says. You give the most improbably names to the most improbable people, says Gabriel, what is that? My new novel, she says, presenting it to him--isn't it GLORIOUS? I don't know, I haven't read it yet, he says, examining it--did you bring it for me? No, not exactly, she says hesitantly, but you must read it, though--it's by far my best work--I do hope the critics notice. A SUMMER'S DEATH, he reads. In three parts, adds Flora, the book, not the death--it's an ironic title--it's a story about love, a love that endures until the lovers die.

The Robservations references the quote perfectly...
And even though it doesn't really have to be included to explain the quote, I included Flora's remark about her book being in three parts, not the death, because, as I mentioned in reply #699 from back in March, I love that remark...
And I really have to thank Midnite for selecting the quote because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get a screen capture that illustrates Flora to a T:
And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Daniel - 'And now we MUST play the little game again. You were always so stubborn, Harriet!') was back on July 11th...
