If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding yesterday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...

[spoiler]Yesterday's quote:
Ep #819 (1897) - Petofi - 'Our enemies are on the move again. How far away they are, I do not know, but they will be here, and we MUST take steps to avoid capture.'

From "Robservations #819-820"

Petofi comes in--it's pleasure to see you looking well, he says--and alive!  Aristede is puzzled.  It's a feeble attempt at levity, says Petofi--I'm in grave danger--our enemies are on the way again, how far away I don't know, but they will be here and we must take steps to avoid capture.  Aristede suggests, we must leave.  We have a prisoner much too valuable to leave behind, Petofi reminds him--Barnabas may prove to be the perfect means of escape--all our lives, we've been running, always running, complains Petofi, now the time has come to throw our enemies off, by giving them some small measure of Satisfaction--come long, we have work to do

[/spoiler]

The Robservations references only the last part of the quote but that's the most important part. However, Aristede does not say they must leave because we he does say is "Why don't we just leave."
