most together and were shown up to
the Doctors quarters, where we We're

How dare you say that I am not to
have wine! Are you out of your
senses?"
No wine," replied the Doctor bland

Aldyne stood g,aring at him for full
half minEte, the Doctor returning her
gaze with an expression of polite de-

down with a bewildered air. and a
