SISTER. Then at least defend yourself.
DOCTOR. I always do. But this time I feel a thunder storm gathering. How often have I tried to fly, and not been able to. It's as if the earth were iron and I a compass needle. If misfortune comes, it's not of my fee choice. They've come in at the door.
SISTER. I heard nothing.
DOCTOR. I did! Now I can see them, too! He is the friend of my boyhood. He got into trouble at school; but I was blamed and punished. He was nick-named Caesar, I don't know why.
SISTER. And this man....
DOCTOR. That's what always happens. Caesar! (The LADY comes in.)
LADY. I've brought a visitor.
DOCTOR. I know, and he's welcome.
LADY. I left him in the house, to wash.
DOCTOR. Well, are you satisfied with your conquest?
