Henriette

Talk about it here.

Madame Henriette (PROSE: City of Death) was a guide at the Louvre. In 1979, when the Fourth Doctor and Romana II arrived, she was bringing a group of tourists to see the Mona Lisa and had to ask the Doctor to move out of the way so they could see it. This short event was repeated due to Scaroth's time experiments.

Henriette was present at the Louvre while the police were investigating the theft of the Mona Lisa, when the Doctor arrived and asked if she had seen two people (Romana and Duggan) last night trying to stop the painting from being stolen. She was unable to help but suggested the Doctor talk to the police. However, the Doctor left, saying he had the future of the human race to think about — a comment which left the guide somewhat puzzled. (TV: City of Death)
