Nora dreams that her mother is returning to Collinwood.

Synopsis[]

Collinwood in the year 1897: a time of uncertainty and fear for all who live within the great house, a time of intrigue and of dark, mysterious family secrets. A time when supernatural happenings were commonplace and threatened to destroy the Collins family forever.

Nora sees a fire in the hallway; however, it is gone when she returns with her father and Beth. Quentin finds that Beth is taking a large sum of money into Collinsport. Nora dreams that her mother comes back to Collinwood, but her father sends her away. Nora leaves the house to find her mother.

Memorable quotes[]

Beth: Your brother is furious with me.
Quentin: Edward's fury is like a common cold. It's a nuisance, but it always goes away.

Edward: If you're sincere, you have just made one of your rare intelligent decisions. I congratulate you.
Quentin: Ooooh, wonder of wonders. My brother has paid me a compliment. A half-hearted one, but a compliment nevertheless.
