Black Orchid

The car pulls up beside a large field.

Inside the field are people milling around. Some seem to be dressed all in white and playing an unfamiliar game with sticks and balls, which you presume is the cricket match.

Other people are sitting a little way from the match, although clearly watching it. Behind them is a large white tent, which seems to be extending from a wooden building.

The man, whom the Doctor refers to as the chaffeur, leads your party over to the people sitting at the side of the pitch.

A lady dressed in fine clothes and a large hat greets you as you arrive, and at the same moment a tall man with blond hair and a moustache comes running across from the cricket game.

They introduce themselves as Lord and Lady Cranleigh and it is clear that although they were expecting someone to arrive at the station, they have no idea what he looked like and just assume the Doctor is him.

Unsurprisingly, the Doctor doesn't correct them, clearly eager for a game of cricket.

After introducing Tegan, Nyssa and yourself, Lord Cranleigh, or Charles as he insists on being called, drags the Doctor away into the game leaving yourself, Nyssa and Tegan with Lady Cranleigh.
