After a restless night, [[Frank (The Party in Room Four)|Frank]] comes downstairs in the [[Village Inn|inn]] he's staying at, and [[Gavin (The Party in Room Four)|Gavin]], the owner of the inn, makes him [[breakfast]]. In the [[lounge]], Frank thinks back to when he was a kid, when his friend [[Andy Lang]] had bought [[fake ID]]s so that they could drink at the inn. | After a restless night, [[Frank (The Party in Room Four)|Frank]] comes downstairs in the [[Village Inn|inn]] he's staying at, and [[Gavin (The Party in Room Four)|Gavin]], the owner of the inn, makes him [[breakfast]].

Frank leaves the inn, going on a walk over the hill, where he's ambushed by reporters, and he walks past them, ignoring them. He receives a [[phone]] call from his friend Jane, but he's distracted when he sees a [[Celestial Omnibus|double decker bus]] in a meadow, with what appears to be a [[marquee]] and [[tent]]s erected around the bus. He sees a [[Iris Wildthyme|elderly lady]] dancing around, and he shouts at her, but she and the other people don't hear him and keep dancing. He walks towards them, but when he reaches the meadow they all disappear. He contemplates calling Jane, and he decides against the notion. He walks off, and then it starts [[rain]]ing, but this doesn't deter Frank - to the contrary - it refreshes him. | Frank leaves the inn, going on a walk over the hill, where he's ambushed by reporters, and he walks past them, ignoring them.

He leaves his room, and just as he's about to enter room four he hears a droning voice, which makes Frank hate him. He hears his daughter's voice, and he opens the door to the room, but it's empty.
