Gavin gives Frank his breakfast, and Frank tells him that he was kept up all night by the [[party]] in room four, but Gavin says there weren't any guests staying in that room. | Gavin gives Frank his breakfast, and Frank tells him that he was kept up all night by the [[party]] in room four, but Gavin says there weren't any guests staying in that room. | ||
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. | 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. | ||
On the way back to the inn, Frank avoids the [[crater]] where the Village once stood, and when he's approached by the journalists, he tells them to leave the remaining villagers alone, so that that he and them can deal with it in their own ways. | |||
