* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Albert is wrenched with ''the'' worst guilt for starting the fire that killed two people (one being his infant nephew) due to his careless actions. It gets worse when he later presents a bedridden catatonic Mary with a music box; it invokes hysteria in Mary, which in turn makes him scream that he didn't mean to do it and he runs away.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Had Mary grabbed her baby right when she knew what was happening, these tragedies likely would have been averted.

Adult Fear is now a disambig
Deleted line(s) 6 (click to see context) :
* AdultFear: Oh ''ever much so''. Bad enough your infant child (your second after the first miscarries) is trapped in a burning building (in the arms of a good friend, no less), and there's not a god-blessed thing you can do. And on ''top'' of that, you and your spouse are both ''totally blind'' and can only hear the screams, feel the heat from the flames, and [[NothingIsScarier imagine the visual horror]].

* HouseFire: Started in the basement after Albert and one of his buddies – after being caught smoking in the basement of the Harriet Oleson School For the Blind during a school picnic – carelessly hid their still-smoldering pipes in some cloths; the fire will eventually spread and trap Alice Garvey and baby Adam Kendall Jr., killing them both. The series of events will play a monumental role in the rest of the series' run.
* OhCrap: Alice's reaction once she gets baby Adam from his room … and then realizes she's trapped by flames. No one is even close to begin trying to answer Alice's plea for help before she and Adam Jr. are swallowed by the flames. Hester Sue also has this reaction as she witnesses Alice and baby Adam's final moments and sees there is nothing she can do.
