‘Yes,’ the Doctor mused. ‘And now that we’re under way I think it is about time that we did something about that English of yours! Now let me see... I know! Say the following after me: “The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.”’

‘Like heck it does,’ Dodo retorted. ‘The last time I was there, it bucketed down!’

The Doctor sighed, recognising that he had a mammoth task in front of him. Then he glanced at Steven as the latter asked, ‘Where are we going now, Doctor?’

‘Yes, where?’ Dodo echoed.

‘You know better than to ask something like that!’ the Doctor replied. ‘I – and TARDIS – can promise you a journey, but...’

‘What?’ they asked in unison.

‘... no guaranteed destination!’
