[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #556 (1968) - Nicholas - 'You will go to Barnabas. You will tell him you are holding Miss Winters. You will tell him he MUST go ahead with the experiment or she will die.'

From "Robservations 7/11/02 - #556/557 - Adam's Ultimatum"

Nicholas walks through the woods, calling for Adam, who appears beside him. Nicholas orders him to go to Barnabas, tell him he's holding Vicki, and he must go ahead with the experiment or Vicki will die. He gives him the engagement ring as proof they are holding her--once Barnabas sees it, he will surely go ahead with the experiment.

The Robservations doesn't quote things directly but paraphrases the quote very well...

And this is the fifth quote from this ep. The first (Vicki - 'Why am I here? You MUST tell me') was back on April 6th of 2022, the second (Vicki - 'This MUST be a dream') was back on February 21st of 2023, the third (Nicholas - 'And you MUST accomplish something during the visit. I'll tell you what in a moment. But the visit MUST be the most terrifying experience she has ever had in her life') was back on June 18th of 2023, and the fourth (Angelique - 'You MUST give me something in order for me to help') was back on November 16th. (And the first two quotes as well as the fourth all come from the same scene.)

And this ep now shares the of a fifth quote with Eps #42, #44, #52, #66, #133, #208, #211, #300, #367, #377, #384, #449, #466, #543, #544, #550, #609, #629, #639, #646, #655, #678, #709, #727, #734, #742, #746, #915, #977, #993, #1057, #1111, #1197 & #1218. However, recall that there's an even bigger because Eps #66, #377, #384, #449, #550, #646, #709, #727, #915 & #993 have six quotes, and even a bigger still because Ep #550 has seven!!

[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #424 (1796) - Nathan - 'She MUST have dropped it as she got up from the table.'

From "#0423/0424: Robservations 04/02/02: Au Revoir, Suki!"

Nathan is bothered by Suki's last words "Barnabas" doesn't Joshua find this disturbing, too?  I'm certain there's a simple explanation, says Joshua.  Suki never met Barnabas, Nathan points out, and about nine PM the other night, I saw a man in the woods I'm certain was Barnabas.  No, dismisses Joshua, Barnabas is in England-and anyway, 9 PM is way too late to be calling on Millicent!  (way to deflect, Josh.)  I was returning a brooch Millicent dropped, says Nathan.  And just WHERE did Millicent lose this brooch? Demands Joshua.  The Inn, where we were having dinner, replies the Lieutenant, trying to steer the discussion back to Barnabas.

Were there any ill feelings between you and your sister? Asks Joshua.  No, says Nathan.  Then show some grief for her, advises Joshua.  I'm still in shock! Protests Nathan.  Your duty is to grieve, suggests Joshua-let me worry about your sister's last words.

The Robservations doesn't reference the quote directly but once again it does reference the circumstances of the quote...

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Millicent - 'Don't you understand? If Suki was married, then I MUST write another letter to her husband --') was back on December 16th.

Frank: "Hands above the table, Miss Winters! What kind of a place do you think this is?"

Hopefully, they were not Pomegranate Press books.
