As it unveils, the tent gets colder, as if all the heat had been sucked off. As Vicki watches, unable to turn away, the shell of the egg breaks, and an eye lurks from the inside of it, looking directly at Vicki and Georgiana. Vicki feels sick and faints, to recover some minutes later, thanks to the intervention of another lady in the crowd: [[Jane Austen]]. The egg now is whole again. Vicki tells the Doctor and Steven what happened, and while the latter one dismisses it, the Doctor seems impressed and worried. While the Doctor congratulates Jane Austen for the success of her novels (even though, at the moment, only two had been published, and not with her name on it), Vicki sees Lady Georgiana insist with her husband to get the captain's egg. Sir Joseph leads her away, followed closely by Valzacchi. Suddenly, the circus fire-eater comes out of the crowd, running, the fire in his mouth now cold and violent. Jane Austen knocks him out, but in the confusion, the sea captain is killed and the egg is stolen. | ||
