This place I've found myself in is most fascinating. I've had a turn about the grounds and made the short journey into town. The people there are very polite and their technology occasionally far beyond what I am accustomed to. I am greatly looking forward to making a study of it. However, there are no proper facilities for scientific study about that I have seen, and I am certain that I have made a thorough canvassing of the castle, the town, and all its environs.

I am also certain that it will not be long before I have found my way back to my proper time and place. Wells will be most distressed to have missed out!

Ah, it's you again.

[somewhat cheekily] I know the location of a laboratory you could use ....

[dictated in same fashion forever]

Do you? Miss Herriot, was it? I would be very grateful if you would tell me where this laboratory is.

[zoeherriot.livejournal.com]

Yes, though you can call me Zoe!

This ... laboratory. It's on the TARDIS--that's my friend the Doctor's home, if you will. There's quite an advanced laboratory there that I used while I was there. I've taken a couple of items from it and set up a simple lab in my room here for use when I need some mental stimulation.

[she will seriously be Miss Herriot forever and ever amen]

Brilliant! Do you think your friend could be persuaded to let me have a look?

[zoeherriot.livejournal.com]

I don't think he (one of him, at any rate) would mind, as long as I was with you. He doesn't let just anyone run free in his TARDIS, but he trusts me.

[notyouruncle.livejournal.com]

I understand perfectly. It makes me shudder to think of a stranger blundering through my own laboratory.

[zoeherriot.livejournal.com]

Brilliant! I hope he doesn't mind if I just go ahead and bring you; I think he knows I wouldn't let anyone bad into the TARDIS, and I think you seem trustworthy.

[notyouruncle.livejournal.com]

I would be delighted, Miss Herriot.

[zoeherriot.livejournal.com]

When would you like to go? The TARDIS is in the Doctor's room at 213, while I'm all the way up in 820. Would you just like to meet on the second floor then? It's closer for you.

[notyouruncle.livejournal.com]

That would be perfectly satisfactory.
