She's got a part-time job as a strippagram.

As they landed, two excited children, a girl of about 8 and a boy of about 6 rushed out of the house, closely followed by a lady, who presumably was the cook of the establishment, since she was brandishing a large rolling pin.

Thanks Chelsea. I will go back and change the name.

Thanks, When I was a child the sweep had another cloth with a hole in which he hung from the mantlepiece to cover the opening. The poles where put up through the hole and someone stood outside to say when the brush cam out of the chimney. The soot was collected in the cloth over the fire opening and this stopped to much going into the room.

She was tall and striking, but at the same time, very softly spoken and Rosalie could not imagine her being at all sarcastic.

Thanks for the update, the changes seem very modern for the CS.

Thank you, you can certainly spree on your own drabble when there is 24 hours between posts and it is as interesting as this.

Are these two girls the ones they were asked to find for the CS or are there more girls to find?

:lol: I snorted at the last line! Thanks for the update, can't wait to see what they do about the problem.

Just got time to post this before a meeting. Enjoy!

Rosalie and Bert felt sorry for the two girls. ‘How on earth can we solve this one?’ said Rosalie. ‘I have no idea how to get them to the right time. Your drawings seem to work randomly.’

‘It ain’t my fault,’ said Bert. ‘I never expected to be a time traveller. All I know is that when you and Mary are around, my drawings take on a life of their own.’

At that moment, they heard a strange sound. And an old-fashioned police box appeared.

‘Well I never,’ said Bert. ‘What have we here?’

Out of the police box stepped, not as you might expect a policeman, but a man with long blond hair and a colourful scarf wrapped round his neck. ‘Where is this?’ he asked, looking round with interest.

‘The Tiernsee in Austria,’ answered Rosalie. ‘And who might you be?’

‘The Doctor, of course,’ replied that worthy gentleman.

‘Doctor Who?’ asked Bert.

‘Just the Doctor will do fine,’ he answered. ‘I heard there was a problem with the time/space continuum, and I think I may be able to help.’

Rosalie and Bert quickly explained the problem to him. ‘So we’re in the right place, but the wrong time,’ summarised Rosalie. ‘The girls can’t stay here, but we have no idea how to get them back to their own time.’

‘It seems your drawings have a fault in them, since they deliver people to the wrong time or place,’ said the Doctor.

‘They’re wonderful drawings,’ Rosalie defended Bert. ‘I think they’ve just been stretched way beyond their normal use. So can you help us?’

‘No problem, I’ll take all of you back to the right time in the Tardis, and then I can return you two to your own time afterwards, if you like,’ said the Doctor confidently.

‘That would be wonderful,’ said Rosalie.

So the four intrepid travellers entered the Tardis with the Doctor and they set off. In no time at all, the Tardis landed once more on the banks of the Tiernsee.

Happily, they discovered that they were in the right time frame. Mary Beth and Lucinda were welcomed home by their friends and a very relieved staff. They were asked many questions, but, not surprisingly, found it difficult to explain exactly where they had been and how they had got back. Madge and Miss Wilson learnt enough, though, to realise that perhaps they should look for another London agency through which to channel their exchanges, as they could not risk such a thing happening again.

Meanwhile, the Doctor, Rosalie and Bert slipped away unnoticed in the Tardis and set sail for London and their own time.

Well, I don't know the crossover - but loved them trying to choose coffees, all bewildered!

'Of course,' said Bert. 'I remember the one who hit me very well.'

Rosalie fell to the ground, grey, still and to all appearances dead.
