D'you know what I think? I think the greatest geniuses never realize just how brilliant they are.

Except for you, of course, Doctor.

And for anyone wondering, 1926 was a flipping brilliant year for parties.




Oh, and one more thing: I'm the plucky girl who helps him out? I'm the plucky girl who helps him out?

I don't think so, spaceman.

1926? Awesome. First flight over the North Pole was that year.

Was it really? Well, we didn't take any arctic flights, but we did meet Agatha Christie, and honestly, I think that's much better.

[come-by-shep.livejournal.com]

You actually met her? That's...incredibly cool.

What should I have said? "This is my companion-not-wife-who-travels-with-me-and-keeps-me-grounded-but-not-in-that-way?"

Plucky girl sums it up just fine for that time period.

[chiswick-temp.livejournal.com]

There must be a better way of saying that. For any time period.

[lovesnibbles.livejournal.com]

I thought "plucky girl" was pretty good.

[chiswick-temp.livejournal.com]

Of course you did.

[lovesnibbles.livejournal.com]

What'd I do wrong now?

[chiswick-temp.livejournal.com]

Nothing at all. It's just very you to think 'plucky girl who helps me out' is a compliment.

[lovesnibbles.livejournal.com]

Not a compliment, just an explanation.

[chiswick-temp.livejournal.com]

All right, then it's very you to think that's not a slight.

I'm not your bloody assistant, you know.

Should I ask what brought this on or just bring you some Saturlian chocolate and get out of your way?

[chiswick-temp.livejournal.com]

Nothing brought this on, and I'm not upset. I'm just...clarifying things. For future reference.

But you're welcome to bring me some of that chocolate any time you want.

[lovesnibbles.livejournal.com]

Yes, ma'am.
