Quotes 

• Martha Tyler : Here. Just a minute. That's ain't the way to make a fruitcake."

• Martha Tyler : How do he know so much?

  Doctor Who : I read a lot.

• Martha Tyler : A lot of people consult me. You know I've got the second sight.

  The Doctor : Yes. So you've lived in this cottage all your life, haven't you, Mrs. Tyler?

  Martha Tyler : Why should I tell you owt?

  The Doctor : Well, telepathy and precognition are normal in anyone whose childhood was spent near a time fissure, like the one in the wood.

  Jack Tyler : He's as bad as she is. Here, what's a time fissure?

  The Doctor : It's a weakness in the fabric of space and time. Every haunted place has one, doesn't it? That's why they're haunted. It's a time distortion. This one must be very large. Large enough to have affected the place names round here, like Fetchborough, Fetch. An apparition, hmm?

  Martha Tyler : How do ye know so much?

  The Doctor : [whisperingly]  I read a lot.
