Summary
She debates opening her eyes, but frankly, she’s not sure she wants to. She died. The Doctor abandoned her, and she died, and the prospect of having to spend another thirty-odd years scared and alone and surviving, knowing for certain that he’ll never come back, that he'll never choose her-
She’s startled out of her thoughts by a voice, whirring and laboured as though spoken over tape.
“If you’re waiting for me to reveal that you’re awake,” it says; “well, I should have thought you’d have learnt your lesson about waiting, Amelia Pond.”
Or, Amy Pond isn't the only companion the Doctor's left behind. And the Faction do so love a good paradox.

Summary
On this particular tender morn, however, I was thrust like a newborn babe into the harsh light of day without any Jeeves to console me. I did not quite weep and wail as a n. b., but I confess it was a near thing. My prev. misgivings from the night before descended upon me like a wolf on the fold.
Perhaps Jeeves had been kidnapped? Perhaps (I thought, recalling a recent novel I had read) he had been chlorophormed while a burgler ransacked the ap. searching for jewels disguised as a copy of Spinoza's latest?
There was only one thing for it. We Woosters fought at Agincourt, you know, and a burgler is only one chap compared to several French Johnnies on horses. Steeling myself, I went to investigate.
-------------
Jeeves is ill. Bertie rallies round. Featuring much talk of newts, Anatole's marvellous cooking, the aged a., and a rather quiet sort of love.

Summary
Holmes gasped. Wordlessly, I followed his gaze.
At first, I thought all that I was seeing was the ethereal natural beauty of the loch. The silver bark of the birch-trees seemed to me to shimmer in the dawn light, and although beautiful, I could not understand why it had captured the attention of Holmes so. But then-
Much in the same way one's eyes become accustomed to the dark, become gradually able to make shapes from the gloom, so too did my eyes begin to comprehend. No, not comprehend- but see nevertheless. Surely it was impossible! And yet-
I could not tear my gaze away; it was magnetic, I was transfixed, and it was only through a lack of movement by my side that I knew that Holmes was similarly struck.

Summary
She remembers this suddenly years later, after Nana’s started going mad and when Donald's busy behaving like a fucking twat all the time, but before, long before Dad started smoking again, and Mum stopped singing in the kitchen to herself, before Shun, and long before Abigail and Barry and George. Before Dad tried to off himself in the garden, and before she understood why he tried.

Summary
For a moment- a treacherous, subconscious moment, wholly outside his control- he imagines hands he recognises reaching towards him. The promise implicit: believe, and you shall be cured of your pain. For blind faith and complete obedience, I will make you the perfect subject, healthy and hale and useful.
A woman claims to have visions of a King, and to, through him, heal the sick. Vetinari is neither a king nor healed. This is a problem.
