The Plan to Rescue Stella, Explained：pile it on
Rick and Pamela decide they cannot leave Stella at Miss Holloway's, and Dr. Scott agrees. "The idea of her spending an hour in that place is horrible," Pamela says, and they plan to go that night without the commander's permission, taking the casebook to frighten Miss Holloway into letting Stella go.
あらすじ
Late at night Rick and Pamela work through what they have found. The scent of mimosa leads them to the nursery, and the ghost of Mary Meredith seems close. Dr. Scott arrives and says he is worried not about the commander but about Stella, who is at Miss Holloway's retreat. They decide to get Stella out that night, with or without permission.

What's really going on
The rescue is planned like a piece of detective work, with drinks to steady the nerves. The house keeps producing its evidence — the scent of mimosa, the nursery, the couple of murders that turn up in the records — and Rick and Pamela treat it half as a puzzle and half as a threat. The line that shifts the tone is the doctor's: "It's not him I'm worried about. It's Stella." Once Stella is in the retreat, the mystery stops being a game, and Pamela's certainty — "The idea of her spending an hour in that place is horrible" — decides the plan. They will go without authority, take the casebook, and pile it on to frighten Miss Holloway, which tells you how much they are improvising.
Theme
CourageRick and Pamela choose to act without permission and go after Stella the same night, despite having no legal standing.
FriendshipThe plan is driven by loyalty to Stella, who is alone at the retreat, and the four of them close ranks to bring her back.

But it's an ideal house for delirium tremens.A joke about the house's gothic terrors: it would be the perfect setting for a drunk's hallucinations, which is how strange the place feels.
It's not him I'm worried about. It's Stella.The doctor redirects the concern: the commander's health is not the real trouble, Stella's situation at the retreat is.
The idea of her spending an hour in that place is horrible.Pamela's reason for acting at once: even a short stay in the retreat feels unbearable to her.
Awful if we took to drink, both of us.A self-aware joke between the two of them: the haunted house and the strain could drive them both to drink.
