== Summary == | == Summary == | ||
The Doctor, Barbara and Ian arrive in [[Scotland]] in [[1950]], as the Doctor has a job to do. He gets teaching jobs for his companions, and the three settle into a way of life. After some time, Barbara and Ian begin to consider staying behind when the Doctor leaves. | |||
One day, the Doctor informs them of a task they have to do. They head for [[Westminster Abbey]], where they hide in a closet until everyone has gone. They then use a contraption the Doctor has built to steal the [[Stone of Scone]]. Barbara drives the "getaway" van. | |||
Two hours out of [[London]], the van gets a flat [[tyre]]. Barbara starts to change it, but a [[police car]] approaches. Ian quickly removes the Stone from the van and hides nearby. The [[policeman (Set in Stone)|police]] stop and help Barbara change the tyre. After they leave, Ian brings the Stone back and they safely make it back to [[Kilmartin]], where the Doctor hides the Stone in the TARDIS. | |||
Several months later, the Doctor is ready to bring the Stone back to [[Arbroath Abbey]]. The device gives out and Ian drops the Stone, breaking it in two. The three quickly leave, and Barbara and Ian realise they can no longer stay in Kilmartin; there will be too many questions asked. | |||
In the TARDIS, the Doctor takes them through many passageways to a garden. Resting in the garden is the real Stone of Scone; the one they brought back to Scotland (and broke) is a fake that the Doctor has made. The Stone is actually a psychic rock that was removed from its home. It is now content to stay in the TARDIS. | |||
