In 1774, Isobel assisted Snaddon in caring for George III's royal menagerie.

The Babewyn invasion[[edit] | [edit source]]

Long before meeting Scarlette, the Eighth Doctor had a vision of "a young woman in a scarlet tunic with long blonde hair" while he was exposed to temporal energies on the Supremacy. (PROSE: Father Time)

Scarlette was the owner of the Henrietta Street House. She wore a totemic piece of glass on a cord around her neck. In 1782, she used her Mayakai training to help the Eighth Doctor coordinate a defence against a new danger from outside the conscious universe. She married the Doctor in a ceremony designed to symbolically bind the Doctor to Earth and allow him to participate in its defence; however, over their time together, the two actually fell in love, the ceremony developing a deeper meaning for both parties.

However, recognising that the Doctor's feelings for her would keep him on Earth when he needed to continue helping other worlds, Scarlette faked her death once the crisis was over, leaving the Henrietta Street House to Lisa-Beth Lachlan and leaving England altogether in late 1783. She would go on to feature in innumerable tales told in ritualist circles: her confrontation of George Washington in America after the Siege; her role as Mistress of the Revolution in Paris in 1789; her visit to Egypt during its occupation by Napoleon; and her presence at the Battle of Trafalgar.
